What to do if the group handle of my Sunbeam EM4300 Coffee Maker comes off during espresso pour?

  If the group handle comes off, ensure all three tabs of the group handle are fully inserted into the group head and rotated to the center position. Also, the coffee grind may be too fine, so try a coarser grind. If the coffee grinds are tamped too hard, tamp them more lightly. Clean around the top edge of the filter to ensure it is free of coffee grinds, and wipe the group head clean. If the group head is dirty, wipe it with a damp cloth and clean the seal with a brush to remove grinds.

Why is there not enough froth when texturing milk with my Sunbeam EM4300?
- S
  Shannon PopeSep 9, 2025
  Insufficient froth may occur if the milk isn't fresh, so ensure you're using fresh milk. The milk temperature might be too warm; start texturing with milk around 4°C. For best results, use a chilled stainless steel milk jug. If the milk has been boiled, start again with fresh, chilled milk, heating it until the jug can only be held for about 3 seconds, around 60-65°C. Ensure the steam wand tip is positioned just below the surface of the milk to create micro-foam, and tap the jug on the benchtop to release larger air bubbles. Keep the steam wand tip just under the surface of the milk to introduce air and create micro-foam.

  The coffee may be too cold if the milk isn't heated enough. Ensure that milk is heated properly during texturing, but be careful not to overheat and boil the milk.

What to do if my Sunbeam EM4300 espresso does not have any Crema (Under Extracted)?
- L
  Larry DelacruzSep 13, 2025
  If the espresso lacks crema, the beans may be old, or pre-ground grinds may be dry; use fresh beans and grinds, and store pre-ground grinds in an airtight container. Also, the grinds might not be compacted enough, so tamp more firmly. If the grinds are too coarse, use a finer grind coffee.
