MACHINE TOP TIPS
Light- medium roasts are the best to start with if you are new to
the own ground coee experience, this will help you nd the best
avour and aroma of coee for you.
Use your machine on a regular basis once or twice a day, leaving
your machine for longer periods of inactivity can be bad for
the quality of the output. If you are leaving your machine for
longer periods (eg to go on holiday) empty the water tank and
remove the beans to store and use when you return. Ensure you
clean your machine before rst use upon return by running a
full coee through to clean the system.
Do a quick rinse when you use the steam arm to remove milk
residue. A quick clean after every use can increase the
longevity of your machine. Just rinse o and wipe the arm before
going to enjoy your fresh coee.
Always start a new roast at the most course grind setting, and
adjust to taste. Be careful of extra dark roast coee as some
beans become oily in the roasting process and can cause
blockages in the grinders. The ner the grind setting the slower
the ow of coee to your cup.
Good Crema indicates all is well; if you have a good crema on
the espresso you’ve made, it’s a good indication that the brewing
cycle and machines are well maintained. Follow the machine’s
cleaning cycle indicators, as they are dened based on the
water quality and heat preferences you have selected when
installing the machine. Ensure you check your water quality
every season (Spring, Summer, etc) as it can change through
the year depending on your water provider.
