The filter holder, drip tray, boiler outlet, carafe, and water tank should be removed and cleaned by hand as needed. On the espresso side, the cappuccino nozzle should be removed and cleaned along with the steam spout after each use-make sure all the milk residue has been removed.For routine maintenance, the outside of the machine can be wiped with a damp cloth as needed. Since this coffee maker has two different functions, it requires a little more maintenance than a single-function machine, but it’s still relatively simple. The Spruce Eats / Donna Currie Cleaning: A little more effort, but worth it Note that the water will run out of the back of the machine if it’s over-filled. A scale on the side of the drip reservoir shows how much water has been added, but we found it difficult to see the water level. The water is measured by using the drip or espresso carafe. However, the reservoirs should never be holding water for long periods of time, since the machine is designed to brew the amount of water you put in it. Neither of the water reservoirs is removable, despite that being mentioned on some sales sites, so they only get cleaned during descaling. Likely, that’s the sort of mistake you’d make only once, but it’s something to be aware of, particularly if you have lots of houseguests trying to use it. That button was turned on before we added water to the boiler, and since the side lever was switched to the steam function, we started spraying hot steam everywhere before we figured out what we’d done wrong.
The on/off button for the espresso side is more obvious, which led to a rather messy glitch during our testing.
One controls the espresso side and the other controls the drip coffee side. While it’s a small feature, we have to note that the pouring spout on the drip carafe worked very well, unlike some that drip, dribble, and spill.Ī downside to it being two machines in one is that there are two on/off buttons.
