Leftover coffee
requiring cleaning
While making espresso, coffee grounds will naturally accumalate on the group’s sealing surface. Allowing
an excessive amount of grounds to build up can prevent the the porta-lter from properly sealing to
the group head. In extreme cases, such as leaving a used porta-lter in the group head for several days,
water can even become blocked from passing through the shower plate.
To prevent these problems, perform the following cleaning procedures daily:
Install the blind basket into the porta-lter without cleaning powder.
Place the porta-lter loosely in the group head - do not close it fully.
Press the Continuous button .
Perform an opening-closing motion with the porta-lter in place without closing it fully. Water will
ow over and around the porta-lter, passinging through the closing surface and washing out any
coffee residue. Be very careful to avoid splashes, as this water is very hot and can cause burns.
Press the Continuous button again to stop the water ow.
