How to use

Pour whole coffee beans into the 300 g bean hopper and select the desired grind setting if the machine offers grind adjustment. Power on the unit and select single or double cup output; the machine will grind and dispense espresso through the single spout. After extraction, discard grounds according to the machine's waste container instructions and perform routine rinsing of removable parts. Allow the machine to cool before performing any deeper cleaning.

Recommendations

Use medium-roast whole beans for balanced flavor and adjust grind size if the machine provides that option to suit preferred extraction strength. Descale the water circuit periodically following local water hardness and the manufacturer's maintenance interval to preserve performance. Clean removable components and wipe external surfaces regularly to maintain appearance and hygiene.
