ESPRESSO TASTES SOUR
•
Extraction may be too fast. Check the grind is not too coarse.
Correct the dose and make it finer.
ESPRESSO IS WATERY AND THIN
•
Extraction may be too fast. If it is, the crema will be pale. Check the
grind is not too coarse. Correct the dose.
ESPRESSO IS BUBBLY
•
Water from the machine may be too hot. Let some water run from
the group head. Try another extraction.
•
Coffee may be too fresh.
LOW OR NO PRESSURE FROM STEAM WAND
•
May be due to overuse of the group head or hot water tap. Give the
machine time to recover pressure.
•
The steam wand may be clogged with dry milk. Remove the nozzle ,
soak it and unclog the jets with a paper clip.
MILK IS THIN AND BUBBLY
•
Ensure the milk is being stretched gradually. If air is introduced too
quickly, large bubbles will form.
•
Ensure the steam is releasing its full pressure and that all the jets
are not blocked.
•
May be due to using reheated milk. Try again with fresh milk.
GREEN LIGHT IS FLASHING
•
Indicates the water level is low.
RESERVOIR REMOVAL FOR CLEANING
•
Remove the reservoir cover and lift the reservoir up with a gentle
but firm pull by the two black handles.
•
When you are returning the reservoir, ensure you press down so
that the tank plug at the bottom is fully engaged.
