TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
Problem Possible Cause What To Do
Espresso
tastes burnt
Type of coffee being used. Try different brands of coffee.
Using steam function just
before pouring an espresso
shot.
Allow time for the thermoblock to purge
steam and cool down before pouring a
shot of espresso.
The
LIGHT should have finished
flashing & the READY LIGHT should
be fully illuminated.
Coffee is too
cold
Milk may not be heated
enough.
Ensure that milk is heated properly
during texturing, but be sure not to
heat too much and boil the milk.
See Milk Texturing Section pages
10-11.
No steam from
the Steam
Wand
Steam Wand Tip is blocked. See Care & Cleaning, pages 20-21.
No water in the Water
Reservoir.
Fill reservoir with water. Run Hot Water
through the Steam Wand to ensure
water flows.
Not enough
froth when
texturing
Milk may not be fresh. Ensure the milk being used is fresh.
Milk temperature is too
warm.
Ensure you start texturing with milk
that is around 4°C.
Type of Jug being used. For best texturing results use a chilled
Stainless Steel Milk Jug.
Milk has been boiled. Start again with fresh, chilled milk.
Heat till the Jug can only be held for
approximately 3 second, 60-65°C.
The milk is making bubbles
rather than micro-foam.
Ensure the Steam Wand Tip is
positioned correctly. It should be just
below the surface of the milk.
Tap the Jug on the benchtop when
finished to release larger trapped air
bubbles.
Milk is not taking in enough
air.
Keep the Steam Wand Tip just under
the surface of the milk. This will help
to introduce air to the milk to create
micro-foam.
Pump makes
an unusually
noise
No water in reservoir. Fill the Water Reservoir.
Water Reservoir not
correctly positioned.
Place the Water Reservoir firmly into
the back of the unit.
Red Plug from the packaging
may still be inserted.
Remove the red Plug found at the
base of the Water Reservoir.
