Frequently Asked Questions - Espresso Perfect Ultimate BEEM

How to descale the machine?
Fill the water tank to the MAX mark with water and add citric acid or distilled vinegar (about 5% acid). Place a large container under the filter holder, then turn the selector to coffee to let a third of the solution flow. Set the selector to standby and let it act for 30 minutes. Then, let the rest of the solution flow, rinse the tank, and run two tanks of clear water through the appliance. Wash removable parts with hot water and dish soap.
How to clean the steam nozzle?
Remove the plastic cover from the steam nozzle (pull downwards) and clean it by hand or in the dishwasher. Point the metal tube over the drip tray and turn the selector to steam to expel milk residues. Wipe the tube with a damp cloth. If blocked, clean with a needle.
Can I use Senseo pods?
Yes, use the 1-cup filter (the flattest) for Senseo pods. Place the pod in the filter, insert the filter holder, and proceed as for ground coffee.
Why is espresso flowing very slowly?
This may be due to coffee grounds that are too compacted or too fine. Tamp lightly and use a coarser grind. Also check that the filter holder is properly in place and the filter is not blocked.
How to prepare a cappuccino?
First prepare an espresso in a preheated cup. Froth cold milk (at least 2% fat) with the steam nozzle: hold the nozzle just under the milk surface until warm, then plunge it to the bottom to create a whirl. Pour the hot milk over the espresso, then add milk froth with a spoon. Sprinkle with cocoa powder.
What to do if the appliance does not turn on?
Check that the plug is properly inserted and the circuit breaker is on. If the control light does not come on, contact customer service.
What water to use?
Only use cold, clean tap water. Never use other liquids. For better taste, you can use filtered water.
The appliance turns off by itself, is that normal?
Yes, the appliance automatically shuts off after 30 minutes of inactivity. You can also turn it off manually by holding the On/Off switch for 3 seconds.
How to change the filter?
Remove the filter holder from the appliance (turn the handle to the left). To remove the filter, turn the tab towards the handle and lift the filter. To install a new filter, insert it with the tab turned towards the handle, then turn a quarter turn to lock it.

Recipes for coffee specialities

Cappuccino

Normally, cappuccino is prepared with one-third espresso, one-third hot milk and on-third frothed milk. It is served in a ceramic cup often with a little cocoa powder sprinkled on top of the froth.

NOTE

The cup should be well preheated as preparation takes place in several steps.

Take the cappuccino cup and make the1. espresso first.

  1. Place the cup onto the hotplate so that the espresso stays hot.
  2. Pour twice as much milk – compared with the amount of espresso – into the froth container and froth up half the milk. The other half of the milk remains liquid.

Hold back the frothed milk in the froth4. container with a plastic spatula or a knife and pour the hot milk onto the espresso.

  1. Scoop the frothed milk out of the froth container and spread a froth topping over the cappuccino.

  2. Sprinkle a little cocoa powder onto the frothed milk.

Latte Macchiato

The classic latte macchiato consists of three layers: a bottom layer of hot milk (2/3), a top layer of frothed milk (1/3) and an espresso that is poured through the frothed milk. As fatty milk has a higher density than espresso, the coffee floats on the milk.

The latte macchiato is served in a tall glass with a long spoon.

NOTE

The espresso cup and the glass should be well preheated as preparation takes place in several steps.

Pour the milk into the froth container and 1. froth up roughly one third of the milk. The rest of the milk is only heated and remains liquid.

Pour the hot milk and the frothed milk into2. the glass.

Place the glass onto the hotplate so that3. the milk stays hot.
