Frequently Asked Questions - 40791-IN HAMILTON BEACH

Why is espresso not flowing out?

Check that the water reservoir is full and properly fitted. Ensure coffee grounds are not overpacked. Clean the filter, filter holder, and brew head. Clear clogged holes with a toothpick or paper clip.

Why is the machine noisy?

Ensure the water reservoir is full and correctly positioned. Also check that the filter holder is properly locked.

How can I make stronger espresso?

Use fresh ground espresso and tamp firmly. Use sufficient coffee (1 tbsp per cup). Brew for a shorter time (30-45 ml per serving). Use a finer grind.

Why is my espresso too strong or bitter?

You may be using too much ground coffee or a grind that is too fine. Try reducing the amount or using a coarser grind. Also, do not brew for too long.

Why is it difficult to froth milk?

Use fresh, cold skim milk and a cold stainless steel cup. Move the cup up and down while frothing. Clean the frothing nozzle after each use.

How do I prime the pump before first use?

Fill the reservoir to MAX with cold water. Turn on the unit, wait for green ready light, then turn the knob to STEAM for 2 minutes. Then turn to BREW to dispense remaining water. Wash all parts.

How do I clean the frothing nozzle?

After each use, hold a cup of water under the nozzle and turn the knob to STEAM to flush. Every other use, remove the nozzle tip with the wrench and wash in warm soapy water.

Can I use ESE pods?

Yes. Use the shallow filter holder for a single ESE pod. Never put two pods in the filter holder. Ensure no grounds on the rim for a proper seal.

How do I steam milk?

Fill a metal or ceramic cup 1/3 full with cold milk. Place under the frothing nozzle, turn knob to STEAM, and heat until cup is warm. For froth, move cup up and down.

What is the warranty period?

Hamilton Beach offers a 2-year limited warranty from the date of purchase, valid only in India. It covers defects in material and workmanship. Proof of purchase is required.

Tips for Making Espresso

• For best results, use fresh-ground, dark, espresso roast coffee.
• If espresso preground coffee is used, store the unused portion in an airtight container and keep in a cool, dark area for up to one week.
• The grind of the coffee will affect the taste of the coffee and how the appliance works. If the grind is too coarse, water will flow too fast through the coffee and result in a weaker flavor. If the grind is too fine, the flavor may be too strong or bitter, and the grounds may clog the filter.
• For hotter espresso, preheat the filter holder, the ground espresso filter, and the pod filter by first brewing water into the cups for a few seconds and then emptying the brewed water. CAUTION: The filter holder, ground espresso filter, and pod filter are hot.
• Espresso beans may be ground in a coffee grinder. For best results, use the Hamilton Beach Coffee Grinder on the fine setting. If grinding espresso in a store or using a burr mill, then use a setting that is one to two notches coarser than the espresso setting.
• Grind your espresso so that it looks gritty, like salt or sand. It is too fine if it looks like powder and feels like flour. If the coffee is ground too fine, then the water will not flow through the coffee.
• Espresso pods make it even easier to brew a great cup of espresso and cleanup is as easy as throwing out the used pod. Pods can be purchased at many local coffee houses and specialty housewares stores. A Web search for "coffee pods" will also connect you with many coffee pod suppliers.
  • Always use cold water to make coffee. Warm water or other liquids could cause damage to the appliance.
• Filtered water will make the best-tasting coffee.

Troubleshooting

Espresso will not flow out.

• Is the water reservoir empty?
• Is the water reservoir properly fitted into position?
• Make sure that the coffee grounds are not overpacked in the filter.
- Is filter holder properly fitted into the espresso maker?
- Clean the filter, filter holder, and brew head.

- Holes in filter holder may be clogged. Clear with a toothpick or straightened paper clip.

Machine is noisy when operating.

• Is the water reservoir empty?
- Is the water reservoir properly fitted into position?
• Is the filter holder properly fitted into position?

Espresso is too weak.

• Always use fresh espresso ground coffee and tamp the ground coffee down firmly.
- The longer the brew time, the weaker the espresso (1 serving = 30 to 45 ml).
- Be sure there is sufficient ground coffee in the filter.
• Coffee grounds are too coarse.
- Try a different brand or roast of coffee.

Espresso is too strong or bitter.

• Too much ground espresso was used.
  • Grounds were too fine.
• Brew longer before turning control knob back to STANDBY.
  • Use the Hamilton Beach Coffee Grinder.

Difficult to froth milk.

• Always use fresh, cold milk (skim milk is recommended).
- Use a cold, stainless steel cup and move the cup slightly up and down while frothing.
- Clean the frothing nozzle.
- Trying to froth too much milk; reduce amount of milk in cup.
