position.
When the coffee switch light stop flashing(the knob is on

and put the cup into the drip tray.
NOTE:

noise out from the machine as it is pumping the water
with a high pressure.
2. While during operation , if there is suddenly a loud noise
from the machine, which may due to the water in the
water tank is not enough for pumping.

NOTE:
1. During operation, if the espresso is dripping out and
doesn’t flow smoothly. Please check if the water is not
enough and add water in time. If not, please check
whether the coffee powder is tamped too firmly, which
will also cause the espresso flow unsmoothly and comes
out a little volume.
2. The portafilter should be removed after a while as the
machine need to relieve the pressure. Otherwise,the
steam will splash out because of the strong
pressure.Please remove in parallel.
3. Because high pressure, the water will fully penetrate
into the coffee powder, it takes time for water to pass
through and flow out of the coffee powder. So it is normal
that the excess coffee will drip off.
