Common questions about manuals, registration, and support for this brand.
To clean the espresso maker, disassemble the portafilter and group head after each use. Rinse them with warm water and mild detergent. Periodically backflush the machine with a cleaning solution to remove coffee oils and residue.
Sour espresso shots can result from under-extraction, which can be caused by using a coarse grind, insufficient dosing, or low brewing temperature. Adjust your grind size, dose amount, and brewing parameters to achieve a balanced extraction.
The Little Guy includes two filter baskets: a Supermarket filter for pre-ground coffee, and an Espresso filter for cafe-ground or home-ground coffee. Start with the espresso filter when learning for better flavor and control.
The Little Guy induction top is highly recommended as it has been designed specifically for this system. You can also use an electric stove or gas flame, but third-party induction tops will not work reliably with it.
