Accessories Instructions

Cleaning Pin

The cleaning pin can be used to clean single and double cup filters and steam nozzle. The thicker one is used to clean the steam nozzle, and the thinner one can be used to clean the filters.

Cleaning Brush

Mainly used to clean the grinding system. You can use it to clean the grinder and the powder chamber. It can clean the grinder by cleaning the plasma and the powder outlet. After removing the bean hopper and the grinding wheel, you can clean the grinding chamber and the powder-dispensing channel. The other end of the cleaning brush can be used to detach the filter from the funnel.

Coffee Tamper

Mainly used to compact coffee powder. Tamp the ground coffee downwards. When the edge of the tamper is flush with the filter, it means the most suitable amount of powder is used.

Double Wall Filters

Use double wall filters if using pre-ground coffee. If you are new to coffee making, we recommend using a double wall filter. Double wall filters regulate the pressure and help to optimize the extraction regardless of the grind, dose, tamp pressure or freshness.

Single Wall Filters

Use single wall filters if grinding fresh whole coffee beans. Single wall filters allow you to experiment with grind, dose and tamp to create a more balanced espresso.

NOTE: If the coffee powder exceeds the MAX line after being tamped, you can continue to tamp. If the powder is too firm to tamp down, take some powder out and then re-tamp. If the handle cannot be installed on the brewing head, it may be that the powder exceeds the MAX line.
