Note: After steam generation, allow the appliance to cool for at least 10 minutes
before using it again to prepare espresso. Otherwise, the espresso may taste burnt.
Important notes on frothing milk
• After frothing the milk, turn the steam control knob all the way up so that the steam
outlet releases steam for a few seconds and cleans the steam pipe and steam
attachment.
• Allow the steam pipe and steam cap to cool after milk frothing. Clean the steam
tube and steam cap immediately with a damp cloth. This will prevent milk residues
from accumulating.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Which powder is right for the espresso machine?
The right powder can be identified by the shape of the powder after it has been
compressed in the sieve:
• If the powder is mushy, it is too fine.
• If the powder crumbles, it is too coarse.
• If the powder holds firmly together, it is suitable.
What is the right amount of powder?
• If you are preparing 1 espresso, put a spoon (about 8 g) of espresso powder in the
small sieve.
• If you are preparing 2 espressos, put two spoons (about 16 g) of espresso powder
in the large sieve.
