Care and cleaning

Note: When the espresso machine is turned on it will go through an Auto Clean cycle. This removes any old coffee grinds from the coffee brewing unit.

The coffee making process involves extracting oils out of coffee grinds to make espresso coffee. Deposits of these oils build up over time and affect the taste of the coffee and operation of the espresso machine.

Regular cleaning of the Café Barista™ guarantees a constant coffee quality and a trouble-free operation.

Regular cleaning

Important: Switch the espresso machine off before cleaning. Let the espresso machine cool down. Do not use scratching, scouring or corrosive agents. Clean the housing inside and outside with a damp cloth only.

Important: Never put the espresso machine or parts of the espresso machine into the dishwasher.

Important: Never pour water into the coffee bean hopper as you will damage the grinding mechanism.

Important: To prevent damage to the espresso machine do not use alkaline cleaning agents when cleaning, use a soft cloth and a mild detergent.

•Clean the drip tray, cup resting grid, coffee waste container and water reservoir with warm soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly, be sure to rinse the water reservoir with fresh water.

•Remove the coffee bean hopper from time to time, dispose of the coffee residue and give it a wipe to remove the film of oil from the coffee beans.

•Empty drip tray regularly. However be sure to take note of the red floating level indicator, once which appears through the cup resting grid, empty the drip tray immediately.

•The steam nozzle and frothing attachment need to be cleaned after each frothing process. To clean the steam nozzle, simply wipe clean with a damp cloth. When using the frothing attachment, after each use remove it from the steam nozzle and clean thoroughly in warm water to remove milk remains. Additionally, should the air inlet at the base of the steam nozzle become blocked, open it using a pin or a thin piece of wire.
