Question 2

How to use the BEABA BIB' EXPRESSO Baby Food Maker to prepare baby meals?

Accepted Answer

The BEABA BIB' EXPRESSO is a versatile bottle warmer designed to facilitate the quick preparation of baby meals. It combines three essential functions: instant bottle preparation, warming in a water bath, and sterilization of equipment. Here’s how to use each mode to prepare your baby’s meals.

Instant Preparation Mode: This is the fastest mode to prepare a bottle in just a few seconds. First, fill your empty bottle with room temperature or cold water. Open the lid of the heating unit and pour this water into the tank. Close the lid and press the instant preparation button. The button blinks during heating (the duration varies depending on the amount of water). As soon as the water reaches about 37°C (body temperature), the button stays on and the device emits 3 beeps. Then fill your bottle with the necessary amount of milk powder and place it on the rack of the receptacle. Hold down the water distribution button until the bottle is filled. Check that all the water has drained from the tank. There may be a little water left at the bottom: wipe it with a clean cloth or tilt the device forward while holding the button down. To turn off, press the button again. For hygiene, consume the bottle quickly after preparation, within a maximum of 2 hours.

Water Bath Mode: This mode allows you to warm bottles or small jars of food. Unplug the device and completely empty the heating unit before using it in water bath mode. Open the lid, fill with water up to the “Max.” line, then place the bottle or jar inside. Depending on the quantity and initial temperature of the food, press button 1 (room temperature food or small quantity: about 7 minutes) or button 2 (food taken from the refrigerator or large quantity: about 13 minutes). At the end of the cycle, the button turns off and the device emits 3 beeps. Remove the container using a cloth to avoid burns. Mix the contents of the jar and shake the bottle before checking the temperature. Caution: never use the water from the water bath to prepare a bottle.

Microwave Sterilizer: Before sterilizing your bottles, clean them with hot soapy water and rinse thoroughly. Place the bottles and accessories in the provided sterilizer/bottle holder (capacity up to 3 bottles depending on the model). Fill with water up to the central mark, about 200 ml. Place the sterilizer in the center of the microwave. Heat for 4 minutes for a 900 W microwave, or 6 minutes for a 750-800 W microwave (do not exceed this time). Let cool for 2 minutes in the microwave, then open the lid to let the steam escape. Completely empty the sterilizer by tilting it gently. Let it dry or wipe with a clean cloth before reusing.

Important Maintenance: Before the first use, run two self-cleaning cycles (press the Clean button with about 100 ml of water). Regularly clean the device with a damp cloth. Periodically descale the tank with a mixture of 50 ml of water and 50 ml of white vinegar: let it sit overnight, then empty and rinse with two cycles of clear water. Regular descaling is essential for the longevity of the device. Caution: never immerse the device in water and do not use chemical descalers.

Question 3

What do buttons 1 and 2 correspond to on the Baby Food Maker BEABA BIB' EXPRESSO?

Accepted Answer

On the Baby Food Maker BEABA BIB' EXPRESSO, buttons 1 and 2 are used exclusively in steam mode to warm up bottles and jars. They allow you to choose the heating time based on the initial temperature and the amount of food to be warmed.

Button 1: Use this button to warm up food at room temperature with a small amount (about 7 minutes of heating). Ideal for a bottle or a jar taken out shortly before.
Button 2: Use this button to warm up food taken out of the refrigerator with a large amount (about 13 minutes of heating). Select this button if your bottles or jars are colder and if you have a significant amount to warm up.

To use the steam mode: first fill the heating unit with water up to the

Question 4

What does the red blinking of the button on the BEABA BIB' EXPRESSO Baby Food Maker mean and how can I resolve this issue?

Accepted Answer

The blinking of the button on your BEABA BIB'EXPRESSO can have two different meanings depending on the context. A normal and regular blinking of the button during heating is a sign that the device is functioning properly. This blinking lasts about 7 to 13 minutes depending on the selected cycle, until the water reaches the ideal temperature of about 37°C. At this point, the button stays continuously lit and the device emits 3 beeps to signal the end of the preheating.

A persistent red blinking after the normal cycle indicates a malfunction. The most common causes are lack of water in the tank, improper assembly of parts, a blockage in the system, or limescale buildup. Here’s how to diagnose and resolve the issue:

Check the water level: Unplug the device and fill the heating tank up to the “Max.” mark (about 100 ml for the self-cleaning cycle). An insufficient water level immediately triggers an automatic shutdown with an alert signal.
Check the assembly: Unplug the device, remove the sterilizer/bottle holder, and unlock the heating unit. Ensure that all parts are properly clicked in and that no food residue is blocking the water passage.
Descale the device: Limescale is the most common cause of malfunction. With the device unplugged and cold, pour a mixture of 50 ml of water and 50 ml of white vinegar. Let it sit overnight, then empty the contents. Repeat if necessary. Then plug in the device and run two heating cycles with only clear water (about 100 ml) to completely rinse the tank. Clean the inside with a damp cloth.
Clean the water circuits: Pour 100 ml of water into the tank, close the lid, and press the cleaning button. Wait for the self-cleaning cycle to finish (3 beeps signal). Completely empty the contents using the water dispensing button.

If the red blinking persists after these checks, it may indicate a more serious technical problem with the heating system or control electronics. We recommend contacting BEABA customer service for specialized assistance or possible repair. Regular descaling every month significantly extends the lifespan of your device and prevents most malfunctions.
