Frequently Asked Questions - Slim Espresso Maker 20 Bar Pressure Beautiful

How do I descale the espresso machine?

Fill the water tank with a mixture of 1 part white vinegar to 3 parts cold water. Attach an empty portafilter and brew basket. Place containers under the portafilter and steam wand. Turn on the machine, run steam for at least 45 seconds, then run the double shot cycle until the tank empties. Repeat if needed, then rinse with fresh water by running a full tank through.

How can I adjust the single or double shot volume?

Press and hold the desired shot button (single or double) for 3 seconds. Water will begin to flow. Release the button when the desired volume is reached. The new volume is saved. To reset to factory settings, press and hold both single and double buttons for 3 seconds until the lights flash 5 times.

What should I do if no steam comes from the steam wand?

The steam nozzle may be blocked. Use the larger end of the cleaning pin to clear the steam wand outlet. Also ensure the function dial is set to STEAM and the machine has preheated (steam light solid, not flashing). If still blocked, remove and clean the frothing tip.

How do I texture milk for a cappuccino?

Use cold milk in a cold frothing pitcher, filled no more than 1/3 full. Press the STEAM button and wait for it to illuminate solid. Turn the dial to STEAM, purge any water, then submerge the tip just below the milk surface. Move the pitcher in a circular motion to create microfoam until 140-150°F. Turn dial to STANDBY, wipe wand, and purge briefly.

Why is my espresso not producing crema?

Possible causes: coffee is old or stale, grind is too coarse, tamping is too light, or dose is too small. Use fresh, finely ground coffee, tamp firmly (about 30 lbs of pressure), and ensure the basket is properly filled. Also preheat cups and portafilter with a blank shot.

How do I clean the steam wand?

After each use, wipe the wand with a wet cloth. Purge steam for a few seconds to clear milk residue. Regularly remove the frothing tip and soak in hot water, then use the cleaning pin to clear any blockages. Never immerse the machine in water.

What does it mean when the single and double buttons flash?

If the buttons flash during brewing, it indicates the water tank is empty. Refill the tank and press any button to return to standby. If they flash when turning on, the function dial is not in STANDBY position – rotate it to STANDBY.

Can I use coffee pods with this machine?

Yes, you can use coffee pods designed for espresso machines. Ensure the pod fits snugly in the filter basket and that no part hangs over the edge. Use the single basket for pods if needed. Avoid using pods that are too large or incompatible.

How often should I descale the machine?

Descaling is recommended every 3 months, depending on water hardness and frequency of use. If you notice reduced flow or strange noises, descale sooner. Always use a vinegar-water solution (1:3 ratio) and rinse thoroughly afterward.

What is the warranty coverage?

The machine carries a 2-year limited warranty on mechanical defects and 90 days on non-mechanical parts from the date of purchase. It covers repair or replacement at the manufacturer's discretion. Normal wear, misuse, and unauthorized repairs are not covered. Proof of purchase is required.

The art of extracting espresso

Consistency is key when it comes to a great shot of espresso. Optimal flavor is achieved as the brewing temperature is maintained. Grounds are pre-infused with low, steady water pressure before extraction. Shot volumes are automatically dispensed and can be adjusted to taste. The result is a perfectly balance, rich and flavorful espresso. The perfect espresso shot is all about achieving a balance of acidity, sweetness and bitterness. Many factor play a major role: temperature of the water: portafilter, and serving cups are crucial. Filter baskets and steam wand must be clean: coffee beans fresh and perfectly roasted. The fineness or coarseness of the grind, dose of ground coffee, and tamping pressure should be consistent when experimenting to achieve your perfect pull.

   EXAMPLE: to change the volume on the single shot - press and hold the single shot for 3 seconds, water will begin to flow. Once you have the desired amount, release the single shot button to stop water flow. The new volume is now set, and can be re programmed at any time.

Texture Milk for Espresso Drinks

1. Transition to Steam. IMPORTANT: Make sure the frothing jug is cold before texturing. Refrigerate or run cold water into the jug before use.

CAUTION: After extracting espresso, the steam wand is hot. Always use the silicone covers and tabs installed on the steam wand to rotate and swing the wand into the perfect position.

1. Fill the stainless steel frothing jug no more than one-third (1/3) full with fresh, cold milk (skim milk froths best) and place it next to the Espresso Maker.

IMPORTANT: When texturing milk, the volume will double. Do not over-fill the frothing jug.

1. Press the STEAM button. When pressed, the STEAM button will flash. As temperature is achieved and steam is built, the button will illuminate solid. (See Figure 11.)

2. Turn the function control dial to STEAM. Make sure the steam wand is over the drip tray. Once steam is emitted from the wand (not water), turn the function control dial to STANDBY. (See Figure 12.)

3. Quickly place the tip of the steam wand at the surface of the milk and turn the function control dial to STEAM. Place the frothing pitcher on an angle, and make sure the wand is approximately 1/3-inch from either edge of the frothing pitcher. The steam wand should barely break the milk's surface to create fine micro-bubbles. Moving the wand in a circular motion, texture the milk until the desired volume is reached. When the milk temperature reaches between 140-150°F, it is ready, or 160°F for extra hot.

4. Turn the function control dial to STANDBY. Drop the pitcher down to remove the steam wand.

5. Pour. After texturing, swirl the milk around for several seconds to incorporate the milk at the bottom, with the micro-foam on top. Tap the frothing pitcher on the counter until the milk appears shiny and few bubbles remain. Pour textured milk as soon as possible. Swirl the espresso slightly to break the surface tension of the cream. Slowly introduce the micro-foam, integrating it with the espresso.

6. Wipe the steam wand with a wet kitchen towel and use the silicone tab to swivel the wand back over the drip tray.

NOTE: To avoid milk build up on and inside and the outside of the steam wand, ensure to purge the steam wand after every use. Make sure the steam wand is over the drip tray and turn the function control dial to STEAM - leave on for a few seconds and then turn.

1. Press the power button on the side of the unit to turn the espresso machine on. The SINGLE and DOUBLE button indicator lights will flash, and the STEAM indicator light will illuminate solid. When the unit is finished preheating all 4 of the indicator lights will illuminate solid in the standby mode.

While brewing, only the selected button (either SINGLE OR DOUBLE), and the power button will function.
3. To adjust the coffee volume press and hold either the SINGLE or DOUBLE button for 3 seconds. The selected button indicator light will begin to flash. Release the button once the desired volume is reached. The coffee volume has now been adjusted and the unit will return to standby mode (the max volume for the SINGLE shot is 100ml and 150ml for the DOUBLE shot.
4. To reset the coffee volume to factory settings: During standby mode press and hold both the SINGLE shot and DOUBLE shot buttons for 3 seconds, then the SINGLE and DOUBLE indicator lights will flash 5 times. This indicates that the coffee volume has been reset and the unit will then return to standby mode.
5. Press the STEAM button and the indicator light will begin to flash indicating that the unit is preheating. Once the STEAM button indicator light is solidly lit; this indicates that the unit is heated to the correct temperature. Rotate the knob on the side of the unit to the steam position. The water pump will start working and the STEAM button indicator light will flash. Rotate the knob back to the STANDBY position, and the steam function will turn off and the STEAM indicator light will stay solidly lit. To return to the standby mode press the STEAM button again, and all four button indicators will become solidly lit.
6. The SINGLE and DOUBLE shot buttons will flash quickly if they are pressed to brew coffee after frothing milk. To be able to brew coffee right after frothing milk do the following:
7. Rotate the knob to the HOT WATER position. Place the steam wand over the drip tray, into a cup or frothing pitcher. Hot water will start to come out of the steam wand and the SINGLE indicator light will flash. When the boiler has cooled down, and the temperature is low enough to

brew coffee, the water pump will stop working and the SINGLE, DOUBLE and STEAM indicator lights will begin to flash. Rotate the knob to the STANDBY position and the unit will return to the standby mode and you will be able to brew coffee.

1. During standby mode rotate the knob to the HOT WATER position and both the SINGLE and DOUBLE indicator lights will be solidly lit. Hot water will begin to come out of the steam wand. Rotate the knob back to the STANDBY position and the hot water will shut off and the unit will return to standby mode.

2. If the knob is at the STEAM position before pressing the POWER switch on, the SINGLE, DOUBLE, and STEAM indicator lights will flash until the knob is rotated to the STANDBY position.

3. The steam function maximum working time is 2 minutes, and the hot water function the maximum working time is 2 minute.
