What causes uneven espresso pours into the cup from my Calphalon TEMP iQ Coffee Maker?
Uneven espresso pours can be caused by uneven tamping; ensure the coffee grinds are tamped evenly. There might also be an obstruction in the group head or portafilter; check and clean them.
What to do if my Calphalon TEMP iQ espresso shot volume is incorrect?
If your espresso shot volume is too much or too little, it may be due to custom shot volumes being used. Restore to default shot volumes or change your custom shot volume(s).
Why is the espresso puck wet in my Calphalon Coffee Maker?
A little water will remain on top of the used espresso puck. Rest the portafilter on the drip tray for 5 seconds to allow the water to dissipate before disposing of the puck. If you are using too many coffee grinds, dose less. Dual wall filter baskets will keep the puck more wet than single wall filter baskets.
Why is my portafilter loose on my Calphalon TEMP iQ Coffee Maker?
If the portafilter is loose or comes off during espresso extraction, ensure all three tabs of the portafilter are fully inserted into the group head and rotated to the center position. Also, make sure a filter basket is inserted into the portafilter before using it in the group head.
Why is my Calphalon Coffee Maker steam wand making a screeching noise?
If the steam wand is making a screeching noise, the steam wand tip may be too deep. Lower the milk pitcher and ensure the steam wand tip is positioned correctly when frothing.
Why am I not getting enough foam when frothing with my Calphalon TEMP iQ Coffee Maker?
If you're not getting enough foam when frothing, ensure the milk being used is fresh and around 39°F. For best results, use a chilled stainless steel milk pitcher. If the milk has been boiled, start again with fresh, chilled milk, heating it until the milk pitcher can only be held for approximately 3 seconds, around 140-149°F. Make sure the steam wand tip is positioned correctly to create microfoam, not just bubbles. Keep the steam wand tip just under the surface of the milk to introduce air and create microfoam; tap the pitcher on the countertop to release trapped air bubbles.
