The first step in making a cappuccino/latte is to make a short espresso (see `Brewing the coffee'). [. . . ] Should the fine holes in the filters become blocked, then a clean, plastic dishwashing brush should be used (do not use a brush with metal bristles). · The brew head area should be wiped with a damp cloth to remove any remaining used ground coffee. Note decalcifying After regular use, hard water can cause limestone build up in, and on, many of the inner functioning components, reducing the brewing flow, power of the machine, and affecting the quality of coffee. We advise decalcifying the machine on a regular basis (every 2-3 months) using a mixture of white vinegar and water. Use the following as a guide: diluted solution (for softer water) · 1 part white vinegar · 2 parts cold tap water Concentrated solution (for harder water) · 1 part white vinegar · 1 part cold tap water · Wipe the steam wand with a damp cloth.
