Instructions for use

23. Continue pumping until you reach the desired dose of coffee at a ratio of 1:2 (36g espresso to 18g ground coffee)

Achieving the best results

• Buy freshly roasted coffee from local roasters
• Use filtered water
• Use a scale to weigh the ground coffee and the amount of espresso you make
• Grind the coffee only right before brewing. We recommend using a high-quality hand grinder with ceramic grinding stones
• Use a tool to distribute the coffee in the basket before using the tamper
• For the perfect espresso, use a so-called “naked” portafilter, which is obtained by removing the portafilter head. It allows you to observe the entire extraction, identify blind spots and uneven extraction

Cleaning the filter basket

• Pump about 20-30 times over a sink or glass to remove all water
• Unscrew the portafilter. The coffee grounds in the basket should be dry
• Remove the basket from the portafilter. Some parts may still be hot
• Lift the coffee pod out of the basket

Cleaning the coffee maker

It is important to clean the Picopresso regularly after each use. Good care will ensure that you can use your Picopresso for many years. Do not put any of the Picopresso parts in the dishwasher!
After you have removed the coffee pod from the basket, it is time to clean the coffee maker itself:

• Pour clean water into the water tank
• Pump over a sink or empty container to clean the pump system. Pump out all the water
• Wash all parts under running water
• Let all parts dry separately before reassembling

Troubleshooting

The Picopresso has been designed with the addition of a pressure relief valve. When the pressure in the filter basket is too high, a safety valve opens to allow water to return to the water tank. If the valve has opened, wait a few minutes before trying to make another espresso.
For a perfect espresso, it is important to maintain the internal pressure between 8 and 12 bars and avoid any opening of the pressure relief valve. To achieve this, there are 3 parameters that need to be controlled:

• amount of ground coffee. Too much ground coffee in the filter basket increases the internal pressure
• fineness of the coffee grind. Grinding the coffee too finely increases the internal pressure
• pumping speed. Fast pumping increases the internal pressure

If the coffee does not flow or the flow is negligible:

• reduce the pumping speed
• grind the coffee a little coarser
• reduce the amount of ground coffee

If the coffee flows out too easily and does not reach the crema:

• grind the coffee finer
• increase the amount of ground coffee up to a maximum of 18 g
