FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Which powder is the right one for the espresso machine?
The correct powder can be recognised by the shape of the powder after it has
been squeezed in the sieve:
• If the powder is mushy, it's too ne.
• If the powder crumbles, it's too coarse.
• If the powder holds together tightly, then it's suitable.
What is the right amount of powder?
• If you want to prepare 1 cup of espresso, put a spoonful (approx. 7-8 g) of
espresso powder in the small sieve.
• If you want to prepare 2 cups of espresso, put two scoops (approx. 14-15 g) of
espresso powder into the large sieve.
What is the function of the small hook on the portalter?
The hook prevents the lter screen from falling out of the portalter when
emptying the powder.
What is the function of the cup heating area?
By heating the coee cup in this area, you can get a better coee taste because
the temperature dierence when pouring the coee into the coee cup is smaller.
What is the function of the steam attachment on the steam pipe?
It ensures that the milk is swirled by the steam. This makes the milk foam rmer
and ner.
Why can't the milk be frothed?
• Make sure to use cold milk.
• Do not froth the milk for too long. If it gets too hot, no milk froth can form.
What can you do if the bubbles in the milk froth are uneven in size?
Tap the milk cup to eliminate large bubbles. Then swirl the milk cup horizontally to
fully mix the milk and milk froth.
What type of milk is suitable for frothing?
Low-fat milk froths easily, but the bubbles and froth are slightly larger and uy.
Whole milk is more dicult to froth, but the milk foam is nice and thick.
