Care and Maintenance

Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your coffee machine.

• Daily Cleaning:
  • Empty and rinse the drip tray after each use. The drip tray is removable for easy cleaning.
  • Clean the portafilter and filter basket with warm water immediately after use to remove coffee grounds.
  • Wipe down the exterior of the machine with a damp cloth.
  • Clean the steam wand immediately after frothing milk.
• Water Tank Cleaning: Clean the water tank regularly with mild detergent and rinse thoroughly.
• Descaling: Depending on water hardness, descale the machine every 2-3 months. Use a commercial descaling solution designed for coffee machines and follow the product's instructions. This removes mineral buildup that can affect performance and taste.
• Storage: If storing the machine for an extended period, ensure it is clean, dry, and the water tank is empty. Store in a cool, dry place.
