Frequently Asked Questions - SEMS 1350 A2 SILVERCREST

How to prepare a perfect espresso?
For a perfect espresso, use a fine grind suitable for portafilter machines. For a single espresso, dose 7-9 g of powder, tamp with even pressure of about 15 kg up to the MAX mark in the filter. Make sure the surface is smooth without cracks. Preheat the cup and the portafilter. Extraction should last about 30 seconds. Adjust temperature and grind according to your preferences.
How to use the steam wand to froth milk?
Press the steam button (20) to heat the appliance. When the LED ring is lit continuously, immerse the steam wand in cold milk (max. 5°C) just below the surface. Turn the rotary switch towards the steam symbol. Incorporate air by holding the wand on the side to create a whirlpool. When the volume increases by 50%, immerse the wand deeper. Stop the steam before removing the wand. Clean the wand immediately after use.
How to descale the machine?
When all LED rings are lit continuously, the appliance requests descaling. Empty the tank and fill it with 1 liter of descaling solution (follow the manufacturer's instructions). Place containers under the steam wand and the brew head. Press the steam button (20) for 5 seconds to enter the menu, then turn the rotary switch towards the hot water symbol. Press the steam button to start the program. After descaling, rinse the tank and run a rinse cycle with clean water.
What to do if the espresso is too cold?
First, check that you have preheated the cup on the warming plate or with hot water. You can also adjust the espresso temperature in the menu: hold the steam button (20) for 5 seconds, then press the single espresso button (18) to choose between low, medium, or very hot. A dark roast requires a lower temperature, a light roast a higher temperature.
What to do if the espresso flows too quickly and is too light?
This indicates under-extraction. Check the grind: it should be fine. Increase the amount of espresso powder (7-9 g for single, 14-18 g for double). Tamp more firmly (about 15 kg) and evenly to avoid cracks. Make sure there is no powder on the rim of the filter. Also check that the filter is not clogged.
How to adjust the water hardness?
Enter the menu by holding the steam button (20) for 5 seconds until the 3 LED rings flash alternately. Press the double espresso button (19). The rings show the current hardness. When the levels scroll, press the button corresponding to the desired hardness (soft, medium, hard). The ring flashes 3 times to confirm. The default setting is hard water. Adapt according to your tap water.
How to adjust the espresso volume?
The machine allows you to memorize the volume via brew time (20 to 75 seconds). For a single espresso, prepare the filter and portafilter with the powder, place the cup, then press and hold the single espresso button (18). The brewing starts. When the desired amount is reached, release the button. The ring flashes 3 times to save. Do the same for double espresso with button 19.
How to clean the steam wand?
After each milk frothing, wipe the wand with a clean cloth. For deep cleaning, let the wand cool, then remove the filling sleeve. Wash it by hand with mild detergent and rinse thoroughly with hot water. Wipe the inner tube with a damp cloth. Replace the sleeve. It is recommended to disassemble the wand once a day.
How to restore factory settings?
Enter the menu by holding the steam button (20) for 5 seconds. Place a container under the steam wand. Turn the rotary switch towards the hot water symbol. Press the single espresso button (18). The 3 LED rings flash several times together. Then turn the rotary switch to OFF. The settings return to default values.
What to do if all LED rings are lit continuously and the appliance does not work?
This means the appliance needs descaling. Follow the descaling procedure described in the manual. Once descaling is complete, the rings will turn off and the appliance will be ready again. If the problem persists, contact after-sales service.

SILVERCREST SEMS 1350 A2 - Inserting/replacing the filter - 1SILVERCREST SEMS 1350 A2 - Inserting/replacing the filter - 2
Print on the underside:
1-cup 2-cup

Inserting the filter

  1. Select the desired filter 1 or 2.
  2. Press the filter 1/2 into the portafilter 17. This is somewhat difficult because the filter has to sit firmly in the portafilter.

Removing the filter

As the filter 1/2 is firmly seated in the portafilter 17, there is a little trick to remove it.

  1. Place the unused filter 1/2 on the notch 16 on the portafilter 17 as shown.
  2. Use this filter to pry the other one out of the portafilter.

SILVERCREST SEMS 1350 A2 - Removing the filter - 1

  1. Connect the mains plug 7 to a wall socket.
  2. Press the on/off switch 8!

  3. All LED rings 18, 19, 20 light up one after the other.

  4. The LED rings 18, 19 flash regularly. The device heats up.

NOTE: if the LED rings 18, 19 flash rhythmically, turn the dial 4 all the way to OFF.

When the LED rings 18, 19 are continuously lit, the device is ready to be used.

  1. To switch off, press the on/off switch again ⏻ 8. All LED rings 18, 19, 20 go out.

NOTES:

  • The espresso machine heats up again if it is left ready for use for a long time. The LED rings 18, 19 flash briefly. Wait until the LED rings 18, 19 are again continuously lit.
  • The espresso machine switches off automatically if no buttons have been pressed for 30 minutes.

8.4 Rinsing the device

If you have not used the device overnight, for example, or if you are using it for the first time, we recommend that you flush the device once to fill the pipes with fresh water.

Requirement: the device is ready to be used. The LED rings 18, 19 are permanently lit.

  1. Pour fresh tap water into the water tank 6.
  2. Place a container under the steam nozzle 10.
  3. Turn the dial 4 in the direction of the symbol 🎨 and allow approx. 100 ml of water to run through. The LED ring 18 flashes. Water is rhythmically pumped through the device.
  4. Set the dial 4 back to OFF.
  5. Wait until the LED rings 18, 19 are lit continuously.
  6. Place a container under the brewing head 14 and press the button 📋 19 to rinse the brewing head.
  7. When the process is complete, the LED rings 18, 19 will again be lit continuously.

NOTE: when you use the device for the first time, make approx. 5 cups of espresso and pour them away. The first cups will not taste very good.

8.5 Preheating the cups

When the device is ready for use, the hot plate 3 will be heated up.

- Place the cups on the hot plate 3 to preheat them.

Alternatively, you can use the cup you want to preheat for flushing. This allows you to preheat the brewing head 14, filter 1/2 and portafilter 17 and the cup in one step.

Another possibility is preheating with hot water from the steam nozzle 10 (see "Extracting hot water" on page 43).

8.6 Preheating the filter and brewing head (flushing)

Rinse the filter 1/2 and the brewing head 14 with hot water right before preparation. This preheating of the filter and brewing head (flushing) improves the taste of the espresso.

NOTE: when preparing multiple espressos in succession, flushing is only required before the first one.

Requirement: the device is ready to be used. The LED rings 18, 19 are permanently lit.

  1. Insert the portafilter 17 with the selected filter 1/2 without espresso powder under the brewing head 14.
  2. Insert the portafilter 17 with the handle at ▼.
  3. Turn the handle of the portafilter 17 to the right as far as ▼ 🔒

SILVERCREST SEMS 1350 A2 - Preheating the filter and brewing head (flushing) - 1

natural_image Illustration of a coffee maker using a pour-overpan with a hand mixer (no text or symbols)
  1. Place a cup under the portafilter 17.

  2. Press the button 12

- The LED ring 📁 19 flashes.

- The LED ring 📄 18 goes out.

- Hot water flows through the portafilter 17 into the cup.

  1. When the process is complete, the LED rings 18, 19 will again be lit continuously.

  2. Turn the handle of the portafilter 17 to the left as far as ▼ and remove it downwards.

  3. Leave the hot water in the cup to pre-heat and pour it out immediately before the brewing process.

  4. Dry off the portafilter 17 with filter 1/2.

9. Measure and tamp the espresso powder

NOTES:

- When buying espresso powder, make sure that the degree of grinding is suitable for portafilter machines. The degree of grinding must be fine. This is often indicated on the packaging.

- For a single espresso you need approx. 7 - 9 g of espresso powder, for a double espresso approx. 14 - 18 g.

The aim of tamping is to compress the espresso powder evenly in the filter 1/2. The surface of the espresso powder should be even and free from cracks so that the water is pressed evenly through the espresso powder during production. Cracks or thin spots mean that the water can find its way more quickly here ("channelling") - at the expense of taste.

  1. Place espresso powder into the filter 1/2 until it is full and slightly heaped.

SILVERCREST SEMS 1350 A2 - NOTES: - 1

natural_image Illustration of a granular material being poured into a container (no text or symbols)
  1. Distribute the espresso powder evenly in the filter 1/2 without pressing on it. To do this, you can easily tap the portafilter 17 onto the work surface and spread it out without pressure, for example with a teaspoon.

SILVERCREST SEMS 1350 A2 - NOTES: - 2

natural_image Diagram of a mechanical device with a lever and textured component (no text or symbols)
  1. Now place the tamper 9 straight down onto the espresso powder. Press evenly on the espresso powder until it reaches approximately the MAX marking in the filter 1/2.

SILVERCREST SEMS 1350 A2 - NOTES: - 3

natural_image Diagram of a mechanical device with a downward arrow indicating force or direction (no text or symbols present)

NOTES:

• Even pressure is more important than strong pressure!
- A pressure of approx. 15 kg is optimal. You can practice this using a personal scale.
- To avoid cracks: never knock on the portafilter 17 after tamping!

  1. Carefully lift off the tamper 9.
  2. Wipe off any loose espresso powder from the edge of the filter 1/2.

10. Preparing an espresso

SILVERCREST SEMS 1350 A2 - Preparing an espresso - 1

DANGER! Risk of injury through scalding!

- During the preparation of espresso, hot steam is released from the brewing head 14. The brewing head is still hot even after preparation. Do not touch it or put your hands or other body parts in the steam under any circumstances.

NOTES:

  • If you wish to use a taller container, you can remove the drip grid 13 and place the container directly into the drip tray 12.
  • This device has a pre-brewing function. For this reason, the device briefly pauses at the start of espresso extraction.

10.1 Extracting a single espresso

11. Tips for the perfect espresso

Preparing the perfect espresso is not always easy right away. So feel free to experiment a little until the result suits your taste. Here are a few tips on what you can pay attention to:

  • There are big differences in the quality and taste of espresso powder. Try out different types for yourself.
  • When buying espresso powder, make sure that the degree of grinding is suitable for portafilter machines. The degree of grinding must be fine. This is often indicated on the packaging.

- Only change one thing at a time, e.g. only the pressure when tamping or only the amount of espresso powder, so that you can see the effect of this change.

- You can recognise the perfect production by the following points:

  • The production takes approx. 30 seconds.
  • The espresso flows slowly into the cup.

• Under-production can be recognised by the fact that the espresso flows quickly like water into the cup. It tastes watery, maybe a little sour.

Remedy:

  • Check that the espresso powder is ground finely enough.
  • Use more espresso powder.
  • Make sure that the espresso powder is evenly compacted without cracks.
  • Exert more pressure when tamping.

• Over-production can be recognised by the fact that the espresso drips slowly into the cup and tastes bitter.

Remedy:

  • Use less espresso powder.
  • Do not exert too much pressure when tamping.

- Different types of espresso require different water temperatures to develop

the optimum flavour. For dark roasting the temperature should be lower and for light roasting higher.

  • Clean your espresso machine regularly. Coffee residues or clogged pores alter the taste.
    • Always use fresh tap water that is not too hard. If your tap water is hard, you can use filtered water from a commercially available water filter.

12. Extracting hot water

SILVERCREST SEMS 1350 A2 - Extracting hot water - 1

DANGER! Risk of injury through scalding!

13. Frothing the milk

SILVERCREST SEMS 1350 A2 - Frothing the milk - 1

DANGER! Risk of injury through scalding!

Hot steam and hot water are released when using the steam nozzle 10. The steam nozzle becomes very hot. Only touch the steam nozzle by the plastic handle. Never put hands or other parts of your body in the steam.
- When frothing milk with the steam nozzle 10: dip the steam nozzle into the milk before you start the steam function. And stop the steam function before you pull the steam nozzle out again.

You can froth milk with the steam nozzle 10. This requires a bit of practice.

Tips:

  • Try milk from different producers.
  • Milk with higher protein content foams more.

  • A higher fat content results in a creamier foam.
    • Always use cold milk from the refrigerator (approx. 5 °C).

  • When foaming, the milk should not become boiling hot. Higher temperatures change the taste and cause the milk foam to disintegrate. An indication: if you use a metal pot, the right temperature is reached when the sides of the pot are too hot to hold in your hand.
  • When the milk has finished foaming, do not wait too long. Otherwise some of the milk foam will begin to dissolve again.

Requirement: the device is ready to be used. The LED rings 18, 19 are permanently lit.

  1. Fill a container at most up to half way with cold milk.

  2. Press the button 20.

  3. The LED ring 20 flashes.

  4. The device heats up for steam production.

  5. When the device is ready for steam production, the LED ring 🔊 20 is lit continuously.

  4. Let some steam come out and then pause by setting the dial 4 to OFF.

  5. Immerse the steam nozzle 10 into the milk and turn the dial 4 back towards the symbol ♦. ⚙️

Tips:

  • Immerse the steam nozzle 10 just below the surface so that air is introduced into the milk ("drawing phase").
  • Do not dip the steam nozzle into the centre of the jug, but to the side, so that a vortex is created.

  • When the volume of the milk has visibly increased (approx. 50%), immerse the steam nozzle 10 a little deeper. The vortex should remain. Now the air bubbles are distributed more finely ("rolling phase").

  • When the milk foam has the desired consistency, set the dial 4 to OFF.

NOTE: the total maximum time for steam production is 120 seconds. The function then stops automatically. Set the dial 4 back to OFF. Afterwards, the device switches to cooling mode (the LED rings 18, 19 flash rhythmically).

  1. Add the milk foam to the espresso as quickly as possible.
  2. Wipe the steam nozzle 10 with a clean cloth immediately after foaming milk to remove any milk residue.
  3. Turn the dial 4 again briefly in the direction of the symbol 🚗 until steam emerges. This removes milk residues from inside the steam nozzle 10.
  4. Finally, set the dial 4 to OFF.
