Quick start

Prepare the machine fully before starting an extraction.

Charge fully

Charge the machine using a compatible USB-C adapter. A full charge takes approximately 2.5 hours.

Disassemble the lower section

Unscrew the cup, pressure chamber and relevant coffee adapter from the main body.

Load your coffee

Choose either the capsule adapter or portafilter basket for ground coffee, following the instructions below.

Assemble the pressure chamber

Fit the loaded adapter into the pressure chamber and secure it firmly to the main body.

Position the cup

Place the main body above the long cup or use an optional stand with a suitable cup.

Add water and brew

Add hot or room-temperature water, replace the lid securely and select the correct extraction method.

Prepare and brew

Use one brewing system at a time.

Coffee capsule

  1. Use a Nespresso-compatible capsule or one of the same size.
  2. Press the capsule firmly into the capsule adapter.
  3. Place the capsule adapter upside down inside the pressure chamber.
  4. Check that it is seated correctly before tightening.

Ground coffee

  1. Insert the portafilter basket into the pressure chamber.
  2. Add one scoop, approximately 8 g, of coffee.
  3. Use coffee particles larger than 0.45 mm; overly fine coffee may clog the machine.
  4. Press the coffee flat with the scoop and fit the portafilter lid tightly.

Using hot water

Add water at 92°C or above. Hold the power button for 1.5 seconds to unlock, then hold it for 2 seconds to start extraction. The green light flashes downward as extraction begins.

Using room-temperature water

Press the power button briefly to start heating and extraction. The red indicator flashes upward while heating. At extraction temperature, it turns green and flashes downward while extracting.

Stop at any time: press the power button during heating or extraction.

Water quantities

Estimated output per full charge
