Step One: Inspect the Box and the Machine for Damage

Remove the machine from the box and place it on a stable, level surface.
Before turning on the machine, inspect for damage that may have occurred during shipping. If you notice any damage, contact us immediately.
Save all packaging as this is needed for returns and repairs.

Step Two: Water Quality and Filling your Reservoir

Before we introduce any water to your machine, it's important to test it to ensure it's adequately soft.
Use the included water test strips to verify the hardness of your water.
Ideally, we're looking for a water hardness around 50ppm

Once you've checked to make sure your water is perfectly softened and filtered, it's just about time to fill the machine's reservoir.
Verify the water intake lines sit at the bottom of the water tank and fill the machine's reservoir.

Plug in your machine and turn on the power switch
Right away, the machine will automatically start filling and heating the boiler.
After waiting about 10-15 minutes, you're ready to pull your first shots. With coffee in your portafilter, lock it into the group head and flip the shot switch. Once you've reached your desired weight or volume, flip the switch again to stop the pump.
