How to use

Fill the removable 1.2 L water tank with fresh cold water and secure it in place. Choose between a coffee pod or a properly dosed portion of ground coffee in the portafilter; when using ground coffee, tamp lightly for even extraction. Switch the machine on and allow the boiler to heat up; the high power rating shortens the heat-up phase. Insert the pod or attach the portafilter, position a cup under the spout, and start the brewing cycle according to the machine's controls. After extraction, dispose of spent pods or clean the portafilter, and wipe external surfaces as needed.

Usage recommendations

Use filtered water to reduce scale buildup and follow regular descaling intervals based on water hardness. Preheat the cup for better temperature stability and use freshly ground coffee when brewing from grounds to maximize crema and flavor. Empty and rinse the drip tray and removable tank regularly to maintain hygiene and consistent performance.
