Preparing the machine for use
Before you switch on
There is nothing to remove, peel off, portafilter baskets to assemble or any thing else to do
other than lift the machine onto the counter, wash the cold water tank, fill it with filtered water.
Flushing the machine before 1
st
use
I never like the idea of using a machine without thoroughly flushing it through, especially
considering that the machine may have stale water from factory testing (many months old), or
manufacturing residues, Isomac mention nothing about doing this in their handbook, but this
procedure is included in the UK Bella Barista guide “Getting the best from your Zaffiro”.
Key Features
Item/Description Picture Comments
The designers of the hot water/steam
could look to improve the design or add
an attachment. At the moment the system
works, but could be better.
Switching on the pump expels water, and
if at top of boiler cycle, steam+water
vigourously into a container. This water
splashes with a risk of scalding. I find it
easier to draw hot water into a milk jug,
and often even submerge the wand.
A simple accessory could make this much safer and more
suitable.
A simple push fit chromed metal sleeve,
with a rubber insert at the top and open at
the bottom. The water comes out at an
angle from the steam wand and would hit
the walls of the sleeve, dissipating the
energy. This water would then run down
the sides and exit the bottom in a much
more orderly and safer stream.
The accessory would simply be removed
before steaming. Much like the milk
frothing attachments on some coffee
machines
The machine just switches off when water
is low via a microswitch sensing the
weight of water in the tank. This is set
conservatively and there is usually about
500 ml of water or more in the tank when
this happens.
I shouldn’t say this, but if
you’re in the middle of an
espresso shot and it stops,
remove the cup tray and
press lightly on the tank to
finish your shot. Never do this
for any other purpose (e.g.
drawing water) as you do not
want the pump to run dry
A source of rattles on my machine was
the front of the water tank against the thin
dividing steel partition
A small piece of foam tape
(sticky on one side and stuck
onto the steel panel), solved
the noise problem.
This pad was located
between the plastic tank and
the steel at the point
indicated.
We will be talking to Isomac
