Remove the reservoir from the machine if necessary and fill it with fresh, clean water. Make sure it is securely placed back into the machine before proceeding.<\/li><li><strong>Inspect Water Pump<\/strong>: Verify that the water pump of your espresso machine is working correctly. Turn on the machine and listen for the sound of the pump. If you do not hear anything or notice a weak flow of water, the pump may be malfunctioning. In such a case, consult the manufacturer&#8217;s manual for troubleshooting steps or seek professional assistance.<\/li><li><strong>Clear Water Lines<\/strong>: Examine the water lines to ensure there are no blockages impeding the flow of water. Disconnect the water lines if needed and clean them thoroughly to remove any debris or build-up. Reconnect the lines securely once cleaned to guarantee a smooth water flow during the espresso brewing process. Remember that any blockages in the water lines can hinder the espresso-making process and affect the quality of your brew.<\/li><\/ul><style scoped>#gspb_heading-id-gsbp-i2uu8g0m-nlxo{margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;}.gspb_heading_sep_gsbp-i2uu8g0m-nlxo{display:flex;align-items:center;}.gspb_heading_sep_gsbp-i2uu8g0m-nlxo >.gspb_heading_sep{width:40px;}.gspb_heading_sep_gsbp-i2uu8g0m-nlxo .gs-numhead__circle{border:3px solid #2184f9;border-radius:50%;box-sizing:content-box;display:inline-block;font-weight:700;text-align:center;overflow:hidden;color:#2184f9;}.gspb_heading_sep_gsbp-i2uu8g0m-nlxo .gs-numhead__circle{width:calc(40px - 6px);min-width:calc(40px - 6px);height:calc(40px - 6px);line-height:calc(40px - 6px);font-size:24px;}.gspb_heading_sep_gsbp-i2uu8g0m-nlxo .gspb_heading_sep_before{margin-right:17px;}.gspb_heading_sep_gsbp-i2uu8g0m-nlxo{margin-top:2.5rem;margin-bottom:1.4rem;}<\/style><div class=\"gspb_heading_sep_gsbp-i2uu8g0m-nlxo\"><div class=\"gspb_heading_sep gspb_heading_sep_before\"><div class=\"gs-numhead__circle\"><span>3<\/span><\/div><\/div><h2 id=\"gspb_heading-id-gsbp-i2uu8g0m-nlxo\" class=\"gspb_heading gspb_heading-id-gsbp-i2uu8g0m-nlxo \">Clean Machine Components<\/h2><\/div><p>Regularly clean the group head, portafilter, and steam wand. Use a clean, damp cloth to wipe down the group head after each use. Remove any coffee grounds or residues that might have accumulated. For a deeper clean, backflush the group head with a blind portafilter and a cleaning agent recommended by the manufacturer. This will help remove any oils or coffee particles that may be affecting your espresso&#8217;s flavor.<\/p><p>Next, clean the portafilter by soaking it in warm, soapy water. Use a brush to scrub away any remaining coffee oils or grounds. Rinse thoroughly and let it dry before using it again. Finally, clean the steam wand by purging it before and after each use. Wipe it down with a damp cloth to remove any milk residues. Use a steam wand cleaning solution regularly to prevent milk buildup that can affect the quality of your steamed milk. By keeping these components clean, you&#8217;ll ensure your espresso machine performs optimally and your beverages taste their best.<\/p><style scoped>#gspb_heading-id-gsbp-d9qghq72-r134{margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;}.gspb_heading_sep_gsbp-d9qghq72-r134{display:flex;align-items:center;}.gspb_heading_sep_gsbp-d9qghq72-r134 >.gspb_heading_sep{width:40px;}.gspb_heading_sep_gsbp-d9qghq72-r134 .gs-numhead__circle{border:3px solid #2184f9;border-radius:50%;box-sizing:content-box;display:inline-block;font-weight:700;text-align:center;overflow:hidden;color:#2184f9;}.gspb_heading_sep_gsbp-d9qghq72-r134 .gs-numhead__circle{width:calc(40px - 6px);min-width:calc(40px - 6px);height:calc(40px - 6px);line-height:calc(40px - 6px);font-size:24px;}.gspb_heading_sep_gsbp-d9qghq72-r134 .gspb_heading_sep_before{margin-right:17px;}.gspb_heading_sep_gsbp-d9qghq72-r134{margin-top:2.5rem;margin-bottom:1.4rem;}<\/style><div class=\"gspb_heading_sep_gsbp-d9qghq72-r134\"><div class=\"gspb_heading_sep gspb_heading_sep_before\"><div class=\"gs-numhead__circle\"><span>4<\/span><\/div><\/div><h2 id=\"gspb_heading-id-gsbp-d9qghq72-r134\" class=\"gspb_heading gspb_heading-id-gsbp-d9qghq72-r134 \">Adjust Grinder Settings<\/h2><\/div><p>If the espresso is coming out too fast or too slow, adjust the grinder settings to achieve the correct extraction time. <strong>Grind finer<\/strong> if the coffee is flowing too quickly. <strong>Grind coarser<\/strong> if the espresso is extracting too slowly.

Start by making small adjustments and pulling a test shot to evaluate the extraction time.<\/p><p>When adjusting the grinder settings, remember to <strong>purge<\/strong> any old coffee grounds before pulling a test shot. This helps ensure that your changes are accurately reflected in the next shot you pull. Continue to make incremental adjustments until you achieve the desired extraction time, usually between 25-30 seconds for a standard espresso. Keep experimenting and tasting your shots to find the perfect grind size for your espresso beans and machine.<\/p><style scoped>#gspb_heading-id-gsbp-gipwlyzh-8dtb{margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;}.gspb_heading_sep_gsbp-gipwlyzh-8dtb{display:flex;align-items:center;}.gspb_heading_sep_gsbp-gipwlyzh-8dtb >.gspb_heading_sep{width:40px;}.gspb_heading_sep_gsbp-gipwlyzh-8dtb .gs-numhead__circle{border:3px solid #2184f9;border-radius:50%;box-sizing:content-box;display:inline-block;font-weight:700;text-align:center;overflow:hidden;color:#2184f9;}.gspb_heading_sep_gsbp-gipwlyzh-8dtb .gs-numhead__circle{width:calc(40px - 6px);min-width:calc(40px - 6px);height:calc(40px - 6px);line-height:calc(40px - 6px);font-size:24px;}.gspb_heading_sep_gsbp-gipwlyzh-8dtb .gspb_heading_sep_before{margin-right:17px;}.gspb_heading_sep_gsbp-gipwlyzh-8dtb{margin-top:2.5rem;margin-bottom:1.4rem;}<\/style><div class=\"gspb_heading_sep_gsbp-gipwlyzh-8dtb\"><div class=\"gspb_heading_sep gspb_heading_sep_before\"><div class=\"gs-numhead__circle\"><span>5<\/span><\/div><\/div><h2 id=\"gspb_heading-id-gsbp-gipwlyzh-8dtb\" class=\"gspb_heading gspb_heading-id-gsbp-gipwlyzh-8dtb \">Test the Machine<\/h2><\/div><ul><li><strong>Pull a shot of espresso<\/strong>: Insert the portafilter into the group head and start the extraction process.<\/li><li><strong>Observe the crema<\/strong>: Look at the quality and color of the crema on top of the espresso.

Then, you fill the portafilter with the ground coffee, tamp it down firmly, and lock it into the group head. Next, you start the extraction process by turning on the machine and allowing hot water to pass through the coffee grounds under pressure. You should aim to extract a shot of espresso within 25-30 seconds for optimal flavor.
