I find if I put it on steam for a minute or two after a coffee and have the milk frother turned off it pumps out the remaining water in the grounds out making it a lot easier to clean out the sieve. I usually also press the steam button and let the little heat guage get to the cup picture before turning it off to make the coffee to make sure it's hot enough to make the coffee.
Best video for this machine, i hadn't used it for ages, now again with beautiful lavazza coffee. I run a 3 of cups through steamer to heat machine and the cup, then i have nice hot cup of coffee, i hate coffee that goes cold, a cold cup will take alot of heat from drink. I had been overfilling the holder, so thanks for that too. Need a plastic spatula to remove the coffee afterwards from the holder, really stuck inside. Great review, glad i bought this machine.
Mr Andrew i have two questions the first one is how often we must clean our machine with the solution durgol like once a week or once a month and the second one we can use filtered water or table water or just tap water
Hi Andrew, did you ever have to fix an airlock in the machine; Mine seems to have a blockage preventing it from pumping water. In my Delonghi this is sorted with letting air out from the steam wand but it doesn't work with this one. Any ideas appreciated.
I have this model... I'm not sure if I understood your question right, but I'm guessing non-pressurized. Because only the basket that holds the coffee grinds is presurized... The portafilter is there only to hold the bascket locked against the group head.
I got this machine second hand and been using for about 5 months. I don't have foam in my coffee anymore even though I tried it with lots of different coffees. I also used the solution to clean it inside thinking that maybe it's the reason but no use. Any idea?
The interior diameter of the large basket is 52 mm. I am wondering if the portafilter and the group head can accomodate a standard 58.2 mm basket... I don't have experrience with these things, but I'm guessing you might know more, since you asked about the diameter...
Extremely noisy and doing nothing. It's not pumping any water. Trying to relase steam by pressing Steam button and turning steam control in the direction of + but nothing happens within minutes...
when i press the coffee button my machine start doing weird it just push hot water and do nothing, i tried doing better but its not going with me, you have a solution?
i have been using it for 4 months..lately, i have noticed that the coffee it makes is bitter (same coffee brand as before) and I cannot figure out why this is happening.
That might be because the coffee that you use is grind too course (too big). Try Lavazza Oro or Lavazza Espresso, they are grined much finer... Take care also not to over-extract it, because that's when it gets a burnt taste. This guy in the video is definitely running too much water through the coffee. If you want a longer drink, just keep the espresso short, and add some hot water in the cup over it.
You might be putting too much coffee in the basket. Look for the indicator line inside the basket and put the grined coffee only up to that level. It's written Max on it.
Thank you. I never would have found out that this machine has 1000 +- 200 Watt, and finally I know that this special espresso machine has 15 bar. And it has even an "on" switch. Oh, and there is a spoon! This alone must be worth the price of the whole machine!
Turn the steam dial at the side of the machine to the minus side, thats for steaming milk, i also use it to heat the cup, by turning it completely to the + side. It takes about 3 cup lots of steam , first two not so hot, to heat the cup, then put ur cup under the coffee outlet turn the steam fully to negative on the side, then just press the cup icon only for a beautiful cup of coffee, hopefully this helps, enjoy beautiful coffee

Is any way to make the machine stop automatically after some amount of coffee?
I bought it today and messed up a bit... but your video helped me.

If you're making everyday 4 coffees it will be wisely to clean it every 3 months
Please subscribe thanks
Hi Andrew, did you ever have to fix an airlock in the machine;
Mine seems to have a blockage preventing it from pumping water. In my Delonghi this is sorted with letting air out from the steam wand but it doesn't work with this one.
Any ideas appreciated.
Same initial problem. Unable to release steam so water is not pumping... Is there any trick how to start using this device?
Hi, i have the same machine but the coffee is not foamy like that of yours. Has it got to do with the machine or with the coffee?
you need to grind the coffee freshly and do a thin grind and compress and tamp more coffee.
Thank you. I was looking for exactly this kind of review. 👌
Does this machine have a pressurized or non-pressurized portafilter?
I have this model... I'm not sure if I understood your question right, but I'm guessing non-pressurized. Because only the basket that holds the coffee grinds is presurized... The portafilter is there only to hold the bascket locked against the group head.
@@purpleldv966 pleas what is the size of the portafilter of your model
Its pressurized basket
I got this machine second hand and been using for about 5 months. I don't have foam in my coffee anymore even though I tried it with lots of different coffees. I also used the solution to clean it inside thinking that maybe it's the reason but no use. Any idea?
Buy new one geizhals 🖕🏿
In my experience with the machine, you'll get foam only with the bigger basket that it comes with...
Hello great job thank you. I have a question how many mm is the double espresso filter?
You welcome please subscribe thanks. Diameter 5cm high 2cm
The interior diameter of the large basket is 52 mm. I am wondering if the portafilter and the group head can accomodate a standard 58.2 mm basket... I don't have experrience with these things, but I'm guessing you might know more, since you asked about the diameter...
Can I use this machine to make french coffee?
C'est quoi pour vous un café français ?
which coffee do you use? thanks
Lavazza medium 5/10 strength, lovely coffee
@@patrickokeeffe6998 Lavazza is expensive commodity coffee, try a good specialty coffee. Taste difference is day and night
4:35 and 4:40 - the temp is not constant while extracting
It's a cheap machine. Of course there no PID or anything.
Does anyone know if I can fit a 58.2 mm basket in the portafilter of this machine?
i think that 60mm diameter is appropriate this macine

Too
did you figure it out? mine doesn't either
Perhaps the tube that sucks the water up isn't connected properly. I had that problem.
Hello! Are there any disassembly instructions? Hot water just doesn't come out. Standard cleaning doesn't help.
did you figure it out, mine is the same
How long do you have it?It has 3 years guarantee
when i press the coffee button my machine start doing weird it just push hot water and do nothing, i tried doing better but its not going with me, you have a solution?
Same problem. Probably the pump is broken
How much did it cost?
60 euros
Ciao una domanda dove posso trovare la guarnizione ... Ho la stessa macchina del caffè
i have been using it for 4 months..lately, i have noticed that the coffee it makes is bitter (same coffee brand as before) and I cannot figure out why this is happening.
Descale it.
Check if you have problem with the temperature of the machine and make a good clean at all parts
I have same machine but coffee from it comes out watery and not foamy, with burnt and bland taste.
same. I just bought this machine. I might check with another brand of coffee as I don't grind my own.
That might be because the coffee that you use is grind too course (too big). Try Lavazza Oro or Lavazza Espresso, they are grined much finer...
Take care also not to over-extract it, because that's when it gets a burnt taste. This guy in the video is definitely running too much water through the coffee. If you want a longer drink, just keep the espresso short, and add some hot water in the cup over it.
what diameter it has the portafilter?
60mm
hi ! my i know what's the size of the portafilter ? 58mm ?
60mm
Good or Bad coffre?please!!!
It can make a decent coffee, but its far from true espresso of course.
Mines not sucking up the water! Help
Too
did you figure it out? mine isnt either
Τι κόψιμο καφέ παίρνει;
When do you know when u ready? Do you count? And how long then?
Understanding when the color coffee is changing to transperent it takes 10 to 15 sec
What cut has your coffee?
Lavazza qualita rossa
@@TechGuruAndrew me too but coffee doesn't have as much foam on top.. 😒

I can't lock it. Any idea?

Thanks man, !!!!
Mine doesn't suck any water
did you figure it out? mine doesn't either
Sad ću isprobati svoj aparat, prvi put.
There was no water coming out machine
U must fill the container st the back fairly close to full, hopefully u haven't a faulty one.
Too
did you figure it out? mine doesn't either
@@patrickokeeffe6998Why it must be full with water?For one cup of coffee you need to full it?And the remaining water?
Super

Nice 👌
Crappy machine, when you try to make coffee, water is only dispensing from the steampipe
Turn the steam dial at the side of the machine to the minus side, thats for steaming milk, i also use it to heat the cup, by turning it completely to the + side. It takes about 3 cup lots of steam , first two not so hot, to heat the cup, then put ur cup under the coffee outlet turn the steam fully to negative on the side, then just press the cup icon only for a beautiful cup of coffee, hopefully this helps, enjoy beautiful coffee
Then close the dam steam wand from the round dial on the side!
