It simply can not work like that.For the time it did work, I thought it worked well. I used this machine for a little over one year, once a day, sometimes twice. Price can't be beat though. But it is not built to last. For that period of time it worked great. However, one morning I found that the steam that needs to build up in the inner chamber to brew the espresso was just leeking out of seems in the construction of the maker.
Remove the water tank cap before removing the filter cup.4. You might also try adding a small amount of cocoa powder to the grounds.3. Allow steaming through the filter cup (or steam nozzle) to stop completely before removing the water tank cap or the filter cup. 1. To froth soy milk, try preheating the milk in a microwave oven -- about one minute per cup of milk, depending on the microwave power. Descale according to the schedule in the manual, or whenever you observe that steam is not coming out of the nozzle as rapidly as it used to, and frothing the milk is taking a lot longer.2. If you steam or froth milk regularly, descaling periodically is absolutely necessary to ensure that the steam nozzle does not eventually get clogged. If your coffee grind is course and water is moving through it too quickly, try using a tamper.
I had to throw it away. And it got worse the more I used it. I had this machine for a few weeks when it started leaking around the cup which holds the coffee. No matter how I inserted the coffee holder, every time steam of water evaporated.
its a piece of junk. I bought this product about a year ago and now when i try to make a cupof espresso half the water comes out of the steam nozzel when it is onthe coffee only setting.
Best all-around value. I've had a couple of these (they last about 3 years w/ daily use and abuse), and I've also given them as gifts. I can't start my day w/out a huge, honkin' latte, and this is a great machine for the price. Nothing fancy - it does exactly what you want for a great price.
