Cleaning and Maintenance

The HIBREW H4D is fully waterproof and designed for easy cleaning. Regular cleaning ensures longevity and optimal taste.

1. Disassemble: After each use, turn counterclockwise to open and separate all components (water tank cover, pump, water tank, brewing chamber, adapter, coffee cup).
2. Rinse: Rinse all components under running water for approximately 30 seconds. Pay special attention to the brewing chamber and adapter to remove any coffee residue.
3. Dry: Allow all parts to air dry completely before reassembling or storing.

Long-Term Storage:

Ensure all parts are completely dry before storing to prevent mold or odors. Store in a cool, dry place.

Troubleshooting

• Weak Espresso/Too Fast Flow:
  - Ensure coffee grounds are fine enough. For ground coffee, a finer grind is usually required for espresso.
  - Check that the coffee is properly tamped (for ground coffee) to create sufficient resistance.
• No Espresso/Too Slow Flow:
  - Coffee grounds might be too fine or tamped too hard. Try a slightly coarser grind or lighter tamp.
  - Ensure the water tank is filled with enough water.
• Leaking:
  - Check that all components are securely screwed together.
  - Inspect O-rings for damage or improper seating. Replace if necessary (spare O-rings may be included).
