tray (30) (31). If several espressos are being
prepared one after the other, the drip tray
should be emptied from time to time (about
once every 7 - 8 espressos). If necessary, clean
the drip tray and its grid with water and a
little non-abrasive dishwashing liquid, rinse
and dry. When reassembling the machine,
ensure that the plastic lining is in the right

These must be cleaned after each use. All you

If the brewing head is heavily clogged up,
