Frequently Asked Questions - Power Espresso 20 Barista Maestro CECOTEC

How to choose the right grind size for my espresso?

The grinder offers 20 levels: start with an intermediate level (8 to 12) and observe the pressure gauge during extraction. If the coffee flows too quickly or without crema, tighten one notch towards fine. If the pressure rises into the red and the flow is nearly zero, loosen one notch towards coarse. The goal is an extraction of about 25 to 30 seconds for approximately 30 ml.

Can I use pre-packaged ground coffee instead of beans?

Yes, the machine accepts ground coffee: fill the portafilter directly without using the bean hopper. Use a fine grind suitable for espresso. Do not use both sources simultaneously to avoid damaging the grinder.

How to use the steamer to get creamy milk froth?

First, purge the nozzle for 2 to 3 seconds to eliminate condensed water. Then immerse the nozzle at the surface of well-chilled milk and open the steam while slightly tilting the pitcher to create a vortex. Stop when the pitcher begins to heat (50 to 60 °C) to achieve a silky texture without large bubbles.

The pressure gauge indicates insufficient pressure, what should I do?

Pressure below the green zone usually indicates too coarse a grind or too low a dosage. Tighten the grinder by one notch or slightly increase the amount of coffee in the portafilter. If the pressure remains low after several adjustments, descaling the pump and circuit is recommended.

Can two espressos be prepared simultaneously?

Yes, the machine has a double outlet. Use the provided double portafilter and double the coffee dose. Both cups are extracted at the same time, with the same pressure and duration.

What is pre-infusion and does it need to be activated manually?

Pre-infusion moistens the coffee grounds a few seconds before the main extraction, promoting homogeneous dissolution and reducing bitterness. On the Power Espresso 20 Barista Maestro, this function is automatically activated with each cycle: no manual setting is necessary.

How to clean and maintain the integrated grinder?

Regularly empty the bean hopper and clean it with a dry cloth. Never introduce water into the grinder compartment. Special grinder cleaning tablets (available at supermarkets or on spareka.fr) help remove coffee oil deposits without disassembling the machine.

How to descale the machine and how often?

The recommended frequency is about every 2 to 3 months with hard water (above 15°TH). Use a liquid descaler compatible with coffee machines, dilute it in the reservoir, then run several descaling cycles according to the manual instructions. Finish with two reservoirs of clear water to rinse the circuit.

Why does the steam nozzle produce little or no steam?

First, check that the reservoir is sufficiently filled and that the machine has reached its steam temperature (the second thermoblock must be hot). Purge for a few seconds to unblock any deposit. If the problem persists, soak the nozzle tip in a hot lemon water solution for 15 to 20 minutes, then rinse.

The machine heats but the coffee comes out cold, how to fix it?

Preheat the cups by pouring hot water into them a few seconds before extraction. Also, make sure to run an empty cycle (without coffee) to purge the circuit and reach optimal temperature. The two independent thermoblocks ensure rapid heating, but a cold circuit at startup can cool the first doses.

The coffee has excessive bitterness, how to reduce it?

Bitterness is often related to too fine a grind (over-extraction) or too large a dose. Loosen the grinder by one or two notches and slightly reduce the amount of coffee. The automatic pre-infusion helps balance the extraction: if the bitterness remains strong, also check the quality and freshness of the beans used.

3.OPERATION

Grinding adjustment

You may need to vary the grind setting when using different coffee beans and depending on the freshness of the beans. The range of 20 geared grind settings allows for precision adjustment, controlling the grind size and ultimately the characteristics of the resulting extraction.
- You may have to make several gradual adjustments before you reach the optimum grinding level. Adjust the grind according to consumption time and taste.

NOTE:

After adjusting the degree of grinding it is important to clean (for 1 - 2 seconds) a small amount of ground coffee from the grinder. This removes the coffee beans from the previous setting ensuring that the next espresso extraction is performed entirely with the coffee beans from the new grind setting.

• Lower number settings provide a finer coffee grind and slower extraction.
• More settings provide a coarser grind and faster extraction.

NOTE: we suggest not to disassemble or remove the bean hopper when there are still coffee beans inside. Otherwise, the hopper could become jammed due to unintentional introduction of grain. Once the coffee beans inside the machine have been used up, the hopper can be removed.

NOTE: only adjust the grind level while the grinder is grinding coffee. Any adjustment while the grinder is not in operation could damage the grinder and cause it to stop working.

Grinding dosage and pressing force

For best results, the amount of ground coffee dosed should be consistent.

NOTE: It is normal for the correct dose of coffee beans to be overloaded in the filter before pressing. The coffee beans must be pressed evenly to the indicated level, with firm force. One cup = 10 - 12 g of ground coffee.
One cup = 16 - 18 g of ground coffee.

The coffee powder produced by the 1-2 gear grinding size adjustment is not very suitable for espresso because it is too fine. Based on the size reference of espresso ground coffee powder, the grinding size adjustment range is 3 8 . Higher setting ranges may be valid but are usually too coarse for optimal espresso.

NOTE: if you change the GRIND SIZE knob, the amounts of coffee powder volume required for a good result will also change.

Operation of the espresso coffee maker

Tip: for best espresso results, use cold filtered water and freshly roasted medium-roast coffee beans.

• Press the power button to turn the machine on.
  The power button will illuminate, and the coffee and steam buttons will flash to indicate that the thermoblock is heating up.
• The grinding button will be fully illuminated after switching on.

ENGLISHENGLISH

• When the power button, the grinding button, the single espresso button, and the double espresso button are fully illuminated, the machine is ready to perform all functions or is in READY state.
  Press the grinding button once to enter the mode and obtain the double amount of coffee. Press and hold the grinding button for 3 seconds to enter the single coffee grind mode.

• Slide, insert the filter holder into the grinder holder. The filter holder shall be kept flat, unsupported, on the grinding stand.

• Press the buttons for a single espresso or a double espresso, as desired, once. When the espresso is ready, the process stops, and the machine returns to the READY state.

NOTE: the espresso is about 30 mL/cup for single espresso and about 60 mL/cup for double espresso. The extraction time is a good indicator of the quality of the discharge. The optimum time per shot varies according to the type and freshness of the coffee beans. However, in general, the pouring time should be between 20 - 35 seconds for both one-cup and two-cup shots.
- After extraction, remove the used grindings. Rinse the filter and keep it clean to prevent clogging. When there is no ground coffee left in the filter, lock the filter holder in the machine and let hot water run to finish cleaning.

Customisable shot volume

Adjusting the espresso volume

Press and hold either the single espresso button or the double espresso button for 3 seconds, depending on which mode you want to set. You have now entered the setting mode. Then press the espresso button again; coffee will start to come out and the espresso button will flash at the same time. When you have reached the desired amount, press the espresso button again so coffee will stop coming out. The setting of the Individual espresso amount is now complete and is saved for the next operation.
- The individually adjustable amount of espresso coffee ranges from approx. 30 ml to approx. 400 ml.

Reset to factory volume

Simultaneously press and hold the single espresso button and the double espresso button for 3 seconds to restore the factory setting.

Customisable extraction temperature

The thermoblock heating system has an espresso extraction temperature of 92^ . But you can adjust the extraction temperature used for espresso coffee, in a 2^ setting between 92^ - 96^ , to suit different types of roasted coffee beans and personal preferences.

NOTE: higher temperatures increase bitterness and decrease acidity. Lower temperatures decrease bitterness and increase acidity.

• Press and hold the grinding button and the single espresso button simultaneously for 5 seconds; a beep will sound. The power button will start flashing rapidly. The extraction temperature setting is then started:
• Press the grinding button, the indicator will illuminate, and the extraction temperature will be 92^ .
  Press the single espresso button, the indicator will light up and the extraction temperature will be 94^
• Press the single espresso button, the indicator will light up and the extraction temperature will be 94^ .

NOTE: if no button is pressed within 5 seconds after entering a custom mode setting, the machine will return to the READY state.

Espresso preparation

1. Heating the cup - hot water function

Place a cup on the table and insert the steamer. Turn the knob to the hot water position and heat the cup after 20 - 30 seconds. You can also heat the cup on the top of the machine when it is in the READY state (hotplate).

2. Head, filter holder and filter

• Hold the filter holder under the extraction head while the water is flowing. Clean the filter with a dry cloth.
• Dose the filter with the ground coffee beans and press it evenly to the indicated level.

NOTE: do not press too hard. Use the coffee presser lightly to avoid jamming the coffee machine, if the coffee beans are too tight. the water cannot flow through the filter holder and may cause blockages or leaks.

• Wipe off excess grindings to clear the edges.
• Hold the filter holder flat, align, insert, and rotate it into the extraction head. The filter holder must be in the central position.

NOTE: if the filter holder is not installed parallel to the machine, coffee will splash and drip out of the hole.

3.Cup position

• Place the cup in the drip tray under the filter holder.

ENGLISHENGLISH

• Place a cup in the drip tray. If the cup is high, you can remove the drip tray cover.

4. Espresso extraction

Press the single espresso button or the double espresso button: the extraction will start and stop automatically.
- The resulting coffee cream will be golden brown in colour with a fine mousse texture.

TIPS: the filter holder must be removed after a while to release the pressure. Otherwise, steam will splash out due to the strong pressure. Remove the filter holder in parallel. Due to the high pressure, the water will completely penetrate the coffee powder and it will take some time before it is poured out. It is therefore normal for leftover coffee to drip.

NOTE: when the coffee machine starts to operate, a noise will be heard as it pumps water under high pressure. During operation, if you suddenly hear beeps while the single espresso button and the double espresso button are flashing, it may be because there is not enough water in the tank for pumping. If so, pay attention to the volume of water and add it in time.

5. Cleaning the filter holder

Wait 20 seconds to remove the filter holder from the extraction head after pouring the coffee to avoid any splashing. Remove any coffee residue from the filter holder. Clean it with a damp cloth. Check if the drip tray needs to be emptied and wash the filter holder with lukewarm water.

Milk frothing

• Milk froth is the result of milk vaporisation. Properly foamed milk has a thick microfoam. Steps to follow include positioning the steamer, adjusting the position of the milk jug and reaching the correct temperature. Follow the steps below to create the microfoam.
• Add 100 - 150 ml of cold milk at about 4^ to a clean, cold stainless steel milk jug. Fill it to the bottom of the nozzle.

WARNING: the volume of milk will increase or stretch during frothing, so do not overfill the milk jug.

Turn the steam/hot water knob towards steam, the steam button will light up. When the steam button is fully illuminated, the machine is ready to froth.

NOTE: for best results every time, make sure that the steam has heated up before frothing the milk. Steam is ready when the light on the steam button is fully illuminated. Place a cup under the nozzle then turn the knob to froth. Wait a few seconds, water will come out of the nozzle. Be careful with the steam. Then pour the water out of the cup to release the excess water. Once the water has been cleaned, turn the steam off by turning the knob back to the

vertical OFF position. Be careful not to burn yourself with steam.

The way the air is introduced into the milk determines the consistency of the foam. If too much air is added to the milk, the foam will have large bubbles. The controlled and gentle introduction of air into the milk will ensure that the milk has a fine microfoam. You will also hear the water pump start to pump; this is normal.
- As the steam heats and foams the milk, the level of milk in the jug rises. While this is happening, keep the foam nozzle just below the surface. As the milk level rises, lower the jug to keep the nozzle just below the surface. When you get the desired microfoam, clip the sprayer halfway into the water. The milk is ready when the base of the jug is too hot to touch.

Tip

Milk temperature

Low: if it is not heated sufficiently, it will be lukewarm and untextured.
Optimal: 60 65^
- Too high: if heated for too long, it will start to boil at around 70^ , taste burnt and lose all texture.

Steamer purging and cleaning

• When the correct milk temperature has been reached, turn the knob to the vertical position and remove the milk jug from the steamer. Place the jug to one side. Place the steamer over the drip tray. Turn the knob to the hot water position for a few seconds and then return the knob to the vertical position. This will remove milk residue from the steamer nozzle.
• Wipe the steamer and its nozzle with a damp cloth to remove any milk residue. To maintain optimum foaming performance, always clean the steamer after use.

Hot water

When hot water is dispensed through the steamer, it will do so for 5 minutes and then stop automatically. Hot water can be used to prepare black coffee, hot drinks such as tea, instant soups and to heat cups before making espresso. To do that:

• Press the power button to turn the machine on. When the power button, grinding button, single espresso button and double espresso button are fully illuminated, the machine is in the READY state for all functions.
• Place the cup on the table and turn on the steam. Turn the steam/hot water knob clockwise to select the hot water function. Hot water will come out of the nozzle of the steamer.
  To deactivate the hot water, turn the knob back to the vertical OFF position.

Auto switch-off

• If there is no operation after 25 minutes, the machine will switch to automatic switch-off mode. All button lights and indicator lights will go out.

ENGLISHENGLISH

• To reactivate the machine, press the power button and the machine will return to Standby.

Warning due to lack of water

During operation, if you suddenly hear boeps while the single espresso button and the double espresso button are flashing, this may be because there is not enough water in the tank for pumping. Due to water shortage, the machine may have high temperature and pressure in the filter holder, so we recommend that you follow the steps below:
- Press the single espresso button or the double espresso button to exit the coffee function. - Remove the filter holder for cleaning and do not reuse ground coffee residues.
Turn the steamer so that it points to the drip tray. Turn the steam/water knob to the steam function to release the pressure.
- When you stop to release the pressure, turn the steam/water knob to the vertical OFF position.
- Fill the tank with cold filtered water. Do not exceed the MAX mark. Close the water cover and place it on the back of the machine.
- Press the power button, the machine will beep. When the power button, grinding button, single espresso button and double espresso button are fully illuminated, the machine is in the READY state for all functions.

Restore all default settings

You can easily reset all settings to factory defaults. To do this, press and hold both the single espresso button and the double espresso button at the same time for 3 seconds.

4. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Purging water from the extraction head and steamer before and after each brew is the easiest way to keep the espresso machine clean.

NOTE: do not use alkaline, abrasive, or metallic cleaning agents or scouring pads as these will scratch the surface of the parts.

• Let the water run until it stops automatically.

Cleaning the filter holder bracket

Remove any ground coffee residue from the filter holder bracket and grinder spout. wipe it off with a damp cloth and dry it with a dry cloth.

Hopper cleaning (every 2 - 3 months)

• If the grinder is used frequently (e.g., every day) it is necessary to clean the hopper regularly.

WARNING: to prevent damage to the machine, do not use alkaline or abrasive cleaning agents or metal scouring pads.

NOTE: do not immerse the machine in water or any other liquid.

• Turn the machine off and unplug it from the mains socket.

• Remove the hopper cover.
  Turn the hopper lock counterclockwise to unlock the hopper.

• Remove the hopper from the machine and store the remaining coffee beans in an alrtight container to preserve their freshness.

NOTE: we suggest not to disassemble or remove the hopper when there are still coffee beans inside. Otherwise, the hopper may jam. Once the coffee beans inside the hopper have been used up, the hopper can be disassembled and removed.

Dscaling cycle

• To ensure that your coffee machine works efficiently and provides good tasting coffee, it is necessary to periodically clean the internal piping with a descaling solution.
  We recommend descending your espresso machine every 4 - 6 months, although this period will depend on the frequency of use.
• The descending warning will be displayed when the machine has been operated cumulatively for 500 cycles. At this point, the cleaning and descending indicator light will flash, which means that the machine needs to be descaled. After that, it will return to its normal state. The descending warning will be displayed every time you switch on the machine if you do not cancel it.

D escaling solution, we suggest 4 options:

a. A tablet for descending the espresso machine.
b. Liquid descaler
c. White vinegar/warm water
d. Descalng powders such as citric acid

For specific cleaning methods, please refer to the instructions of your descaling solution supplier.

Descending cycle

NOTE: if the descending cycle is not completed or stops in the middle of any of the descending steps, you will have to restart the cycle from the beginning.

• Fill the water tank with a descending tablet, liquid descaler, white vinegar or descending powder.
• Add cold filtered water and insert the water tank into position.
• Place two containers.
• Place a 1 litre container under the extraction head and another container under the vaporiser.
• Check the power supply.
