- Ensure coffee beans or pre-ground grinds are fresh.
- Old coffee beans no matter the Grind Setting will have a fast
extraction and will produce an under extracted tasting espresso.
- The grind size will affect the water flow rate through the coffee in
the filter and the flavor of the espresso.
NOTE
For best espresso results, use
filtered water & freshly roasted
coffee beans.
TIPS
Before insert the refill water tank,
use the clean cloth to wipe off the
water on the valve.
When the water tank is pulled up,
the water will flow out from the outlet
at the bottom of the water tank, as
it is a movable part. If you have pulled
up several times and have not wipe
the water immediately,it will accumu-
late more and more and ran to the
bottom of the machine, maybe will leave
the table full of water.It's not leaking.
