Dialing in and daily workflow
- Use fresh coffee and begin near the machine’s recommended dose.
- Distribute the grounds evenly and keep the portafilter rim clean before locking in.
- Watch flow and shot time, but make the final decision by taste. Grind finer for a very fast, thin shot and coarser for a choked or overly slow shot.
- Texture milk immediately after extraction when making a milk drink, then purge and wipe the wand.
- Change only one grind, dose, yield, or temperature variable at a time so the result is understandable.
What is included
- 58 mm stainless-steel portafilter
- Stainless-steel milk jug
- Single-wall filter baskets

Cleaning and ownership
Follow touchscreen cleaning prompts, purge and wipe the Auto MilQ wand after every use, keep milk-sensor contact surfaces clean, and never put water into the grinder. Fresh beans still require dialing in; accept the guidance, taste the result, and adjust when needed.
