  After steaming, the Cyetus Coffee Maker needs 20-30 seconds to release pressure and cool down. The machine pumps water automatically for cooling. Wait until the indicators on the control panel work properly again before attempting to make coffee or hot water.

  The Cyetus Coffee Maker may not produce steam if it hasn't preheated in steam mode or if the steam nozzle is blocked. Ensure the machine is preheated and descale it, using a cleaning needle to clear the steam nozzle.

What to do if no coffee comes out of my Cyetus Coffee Maker's portafilter?

  rivasamandaAug 20, 2025
  If no coffee comes out from portafilter, or coffee does not come out from portafilter smoothly, or the portafilter cannot be installed in portafilter bracket properly, the amount of coffee powder should not exceed the standard amount. Adjust the grinding setting of the grinder appropriately until it is suitable. It should not be pressed repeatedly with excessive force when tamping the coffee powder.

  Brandy ArnoldAug 26, 2025
  If your Cyetus Coffee Maker produces coffee without crema, the coffee beans may be damp or the coffee powder may be too coarse. Use fresh coffee beans and powder with a moderate grinding setting.

Usage Features

The coffee maker offers a range of features for a customizable brewing experience:

Control Panel: The control panel includes an ON/OFF button, single-cup (grind) button, double-cup (grind) button, single-cup (coffee) button, double-cup (coffee) button, program button, pressure gauge, CLEAN/DESCALE indicator, and STEAM/HOT WATER indicator.

Preheating and Standby: Upon pressing the ON/OFF button, the machine enters a preheating mode, indicated by the ON/OFF button light flashing. Once preheating is complete, it enters standby mode, with the CLEAN/DESCALE and STEAM/HOT WATER indicators lighting solidly.

Brewing Coffee:

Single-cup Coffee: In standby mode, install a single-cup filter into the portafilter, add about 13g of coffee powder, tamp it with approximately 12.5kg force, and lock the portafilter into the bracket. Place a cup on the drip plate and press the single-cup (coffee) button. The machine will brew about 30ml of coffee and stop automatically.
Double-cup Coffee: Similar to single-cup, but use a double-cup filter, about 19g of coffee powder, and press the double-cup (coffee) button. The machine will brew about 60ml of coffee.
Customized Coffee Dose: Users can adjust the coffee dose by holding the single-cup or double-cup button until the desired amount is reached, then releasing the button. The machine will record this setting for future use (max 125ml for single-cup, 250ml for double-cup).

Hot Water Function: Turn the steam/hot water knob to the hot water position. The machine will dispense hot water (190-240ml). The steam/hot water indicator will flash. Remember to turn the knob back to the twelve o'clock position after use to avoid an alarm.

Steam Function (Milk Frothing): Turn the steam/hot water knob to the steam position. The machine enters steam mode, and the steam/hot water indicator will flash. For good frothing, allow steam to run for 3-5 seconds, then immerse the steam tube into milk and turn the knob to the steam indicator. The maximum frothing time is 5 minutes. Always return the knob to the twelve o'clock position after frothing.

Integrated Grinder:

Installation: Ensure the cutter head is tightened clockwise, then align and press down the bean box, rotating it clockwise to lock it into the machine.
Grind Adjustment: The bean box has markings from 0 to 30 for coffee coarseness (0 being fine, 30 being coarse). Align the desired setting with the mark on the top cover.
Grinding Coffee: Place the portafilter with the appropriate filter (single or double-cup) into the powder receiving bracket. Press the single-cup (grind) or double-cup (grind) button. The grinder will run automatically for a set time (default 9 seconds for single-cup, 14 seconds for double-cup) to produce approximately 13g or 19g of powder, respectively.
Customized Grinding Time: Users can adjust the grinding time by holding the single-cup (grind) or double-cup (grind) button until the desired amount of powder is dispensed, then releasing. The machine will record this setting (adjustable between 6-13 seconds for single-cup, 10-18 seconds for double-cup).
Grinder Protection: The grinder has a protection mechanism; if it runs continuously for 3 minutes with less than 6 minutes rest, its use will be limited.

Temperature Customization: Hold the program button for 3 seconds to enter temperature setting mode. Use the single-cup (grind) and double-cup (grind) buttons to cycle through temperatures (90°C, 92°C, 94°C, 96°C). Press the program button again to save and exit.

Sleep Mode: The machine automatically enters sleep mode after 15 minutes of inactivity. It can be reactivated by pressing any button or turning the knob.

Factory Reset:

Coffee Dose: In standby mode, simultaneously hold the single-cup or double-cup button and the program button until a beep is heard.
Grinding Time: In standby mode, simultaneously hold the single-cup (grind) or double-cup (grind) button and the program button until a beep is heard.
All Settings: In standby mode, simultaneously hold the ON/OFF button and the program button until two beeps are heard and all indicators flash twice.

Water Shortage Reminder: When the water tank is low, the machine will remind the user with flashing indicators and a buzzer sound.

Maintenance Features

Cleaning Accessories: The machine comes with a tool box containing a cleaning pin (thicker for steam tube, thinner for filters) and a cleaning brush for the grinding system.

Grinder Cleaning:

Clean the powder outlet and grinder at least every two weeks, or if powder amount reduces or coffee powder floats out.
Ensure no beans are in the bean box before cleaning.
Rotate the bean box counterclockwise to remove it.

Descaling:

Recommended every 4-6 months.
Descaling Agents: Coffee machine descaling tablets, liquid descaler, or 1.5 scoops of white vinegar mixed with 1 liter of warm water.

Cleanup (Step 2): Empty containers, clean the water tank, refill with fresh water, and replace.
Cleanup Cycle (Step 3): Turn the steam/hot water knob to the hot water position again. The pump will run, dispensing fresh water to rinse the system. After the water stops, turn the knob back to the twelve o'clock position.
