Maintenance & Cleaning
Wipe the surface gently with a soft, damp cloth. Do not immerse in water or use harsh cleaners. Use the included heat-resistant pad to protect your skin from hot cups. Recharge only when the device is cool to avoid battery protection lockout.
Best Practices for Espresso Accuracy
Enable High resolution for precise dose monitoring. Use Flow-Rate visuals to assess pre-infusion and peak flow. In bar environments, activate auto-reset and set Zero Tracking to 2d to maintain calibration. For pour-over, Mode 7 allows you to track the flow during manual brews.
