Unscrew the portafilter. The coffee puck in the basket
should be fully dry.
Remove the basket from the portafilter. Parts might be hot, proceed
with care.
Position a tissue on a flat surface.
Knock the basket upside down on the cloth to eject the coffee puck.
CLEANING THE MACHINE
It is important to respect your machine and clean it regularly. Good
maintenance will allow you to use your Picopresso for many years.
You just finish ejecting the coffee puck from the basket. Time to
clean the whole machine:
Add a bit of clean water into the water tank.
Pump another cycle above a sink, a container, or a cup in order to
clean the pumping system.
Empty the excess of water in the water tank.
Pump again a few more times to fully empty the pumping system
and make sure there is no water remaining there.
Clean the shower head, the basket and the portafilter under running
water.
Let all the parts dry separately for a few hours before reassembling.
TROUBLESHOOT
Picopresso was engineered with the addition of a pressure release
valve. When the pressure inside the filter basket is too high, a safety
valve will open, allowing the water to go back into the water tank.
If the valve opened, wait a few minutes before attempting to prepare
a new espresso shot.
For a perfect espresso shot, it’s important to keep the inner pressure
between 8 to 12 bars and avoid any opening of the pressure release
valve. To do so, there are 3 parameters to control:
Coffee grind quantity. Too much coffee grind inside the filter basket
increases the inner pressure.
Coffee grind finesse. Too fine coffee grind increases the inner pressure.
Pumping speed. A fast-pumping action increases the inner pressure.
