Frequently Asked Questions

• Water is dripping from one of the group heads

  This may be due to a dirty group solenoid. To clean the system, please run a clean using the blind filter provided and the coffee cleaning powder. Repeat the process if needed.

• The hot water is discoloured and has an off-aroma

  This is caused by the milk, is really important to purge the steam arm after frothing the milk. If the water is discoloured, please drain your boiler by taking hot water from the coffee machine and allow the machine to fill up with fresh water, eventually the water will become clear.

  The machine may display ‘flashing lights’, as the machine is constantly refilling. If this occurs then turn the machine off and back on and allow the machine to completely fill. You may need to wait until the machine heats up to the correct temperature.

• All lights on my coffee machine are flashing on and off

  Check your main water supply and ensure that the valve is open and switched on. Re-start the machine by turning off and then on again.

• My coffee machine has no steam or hot water (lights are on)

  Check the position of the main switch and ensure that it’s set to the ‘On’ position.  Let all of the steam valves open. If the issue persists, please contact an engineer using the contact form below.

• Espresso Coffee is not flowing at the correct speed/consistency

  One of the main factors which determines the flow speed is how the coffee grinder is set.
  Please adjust the grinder to ‘fine’ for a faster flow, or, ‘course’ for a slower flow.
  Ensure that there is water pouring from the group head.
