Why is my Silvercrest Coffee Maker espresso not flowing?
The espresso may not flow because the espresso powder is too moist or compressed too tightly. Try re-preparing the espresso without compressing the powder so firmly, and use new powder if needed. Also, ensure the water tank is filled. Blocked sieve holder openings can also cause this; clean the sieve holder.
What to do if the espresso from my Silvercrest SEM 1100 D3 is cold?
If your espresso is cold, it might be because the appliance wasn't preheated. Make sure to preheat it. Also, wait until the "Espresso" control lamp lights up continuously. Pre-warming the cups can also help.
What to do if the crema from my Silvercrest SEM 1100 D3 is too dark?
If the crema is too dark and the espresso runs out of the sieve carrier slowly, you might be using too much espresso powder. Try using less. Also, the powder might be too finely ground or moist; use espresso powder specifically manufactured for espresso. A blocked sieve can also cause this, so clean the sieve.
What to do if the crema from my Silvercrest SEM 1100 D3 Coffee Maker is too light?
If the crema is too light and the espresso runs out of the sieve holder quickly, you might not be using enough espresso powder. Try using more. Also, the espresso powder might be too coarsely ground; use only espresso powder specially manufactured for espresso.
Why is my Silvercrest Coffee Maker pump so noisy?
An unusually noisy pump may indicate that the water tank is empty. Fill the water tank with water.
What to do if the espresso drips over the edges of the sieve holder of my Silvercrest Coffee Maker?
If the espresso drips over the edges of the sieve holder, ensure the sieve holder is correctly inserted. Clean the sieve holder if the openings are blocked. Also, clean any espresso powder residues from the edges of the sieve holder.
Why is the milk not frothing in my Silvercrest SEM 1100 D3 Coffee Maker?
If the milk does not froth, make sure the milk is cold enough by using milk from the refrigerator. Also, the milk frother might be dirty, so clean it.
What does it mean when all the lamps are flashing on my Silvercrest SEM 1100 D3 Coffee Maker?
If all lamps flash simultaneously, the temperature for preparing espresso is too high. Allow the machine to cool down and wait until the "Espresso" control lamp lights up continuously.
