Key features, characteristics, facts or advantages of this product

Premium features for Barista quality brews: Grind fresh with the built-in conical stainless steel burr grinder featuring 16 settings for customised flavour. Then brew bold with 20 bars of pressure for rich espresso, golden crema, and café-quality taste—hot or cold, single or double.
Bottomless portafilter for richer flavour: Achieve a thicker crema and deeper flavour thanks to the bottomless portafilter that reduces metal contact, letting your espresso flow freely for a smoother, more aromatic shot every time.
True cold brew, no waiting: The cold extraction feature delivers smooth, refreshing iced drinks without the bitterness or dilution, faster than traditional cold brewing methods. 
Froth it your way: Steam wand creates creamy froth for lattes, cappuccinos, or hot water for teas, and perfect for dairy or plant-based milk.
Assisted tamping for consistent results: Did you know 10kg is the ideal tamping pressure? With automatic assisted tamping, each shot is evenly compressed. This ensures even extraction, rich crema, and bold flavour, while also being vital for optimal water flow.
Smart design, seamless brewing: Front-loading 2.2L water tank, integrated accessory tray, and cup-warming plate make every brew effortless and mess-free.
Brew straight into your travel mug: Designed for real life, it fits mugs up to 600 ml, so you can take your handcrafted coffee with you, whether you're commuting, working from home, or heading out for the day.

- How to clean
- How to store
- How to maintain

Always turn the espresso maker off and remove the plug from the electrical outlet before cleaning.
Never immerse unit in water or other liquid. To clean, simply wipe with a clean damp cloth and dry before storing.

Cleaning the Filters, Portafilter Holder, and Brew Head
• The stainless steel filters and portafilter holder should be rinsed under water immediately after use to remove all coffee particles. You may also use the gray cleaning pin (smaller pin) to clear the opening.
• Periodically run water through the machine with the portafilter holder in place, but without any ground coffee, to rinse out any lingering coffee particles.
• The inside of the brew head should be wiped with a damp cloth to remove any coffee particles.
• it is recommended to regularly wash your portafilters
on the top rack of a dishwasher to prevent oil build up
between the filter layers.
Cleaning the Outer Housing/Cup Warming Plate
• The outer housing and cup warming plate can be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use any scouring agents or harsh cleaners.
Cleaning the Drip Tray Plate
• The drip tray plate should be removed, emptied, and cleaned frequently, particularly when the drip tray is full.
• The drip tray plate can be washed in warm soapy water and rinsed thoroughly. Use a non-abrasive washing liquid (do not use abrasive cleaners, pads or cloths, which can scratch the surface). 
Cleaning the Drip Tray
• The drip tray can be removed after the drip tray
plate is removed and then cleaned with a soft,
damp cloth (do not use any scouring agents or
harsh cleaners).
NOTE: Do not clean any parts or accessories in
the dishwasher.
Cleaning the Steam Wand
• The steam wand should always be cleaned after steaming milk.
• Wipe the steam wand with a damp cloth,
then swing the steam wand back into the drip
tray. Momentarily switch the Steam/Hot Water
control switch to the hot water position.
This will release any remaining milk from
inside the steam wand.
• Make sure the Steam/Hot Water control switch is in the OFF position. Press
the power button off, unplug the power cord, and allow the machine to cool.
• If the steam wand remains blocked, use the Steam Wand Cleaning Pin to clear the opening.
Cleaning the Hopper
• Be sure the unit is off and unplugged.
• Beans can be removed from the hopper by lifting off the lid and rotating the knob to the unlock position. Once unlocked, the hopper can be removed to pour out remaining beans.
Cleaning the Burr Grinder
• If some beans remain in the grinder, put the hopper back on, reinsert the grind chamber, and run a grind cycle on any grind setting until all beans are ground.
Once finished, you can continue cleaning as instructed.
• Remove the bean hopper lid and turn the lock/
unlock knob counterclockwise to release the bean hopper.
NOTE: You will notice the release arrow and arrow on the burr on the inside of unit are now aligned. They must be aligned in order to reinsert the hopper.
• After the bean hopper has been removed, remove the burr grinder by grasping the metal handle and lifting up. Use the burr cleaning brush to remove grounds or wash by hand. Replace the burr grinder on the unit and rotate until the piece is fully inserted. Push handle down, replace, and lock hopper.
