Description

MDMV 20Bar Espresso Coffee MachineImportant Usage Notice - Single Boiler System

This espresso machine uses a single boiler heating system, which means the machine switches between two different temperatures:

  • Brewing espresso: approximately 90-95 C
  • Steaming milk: approximately 110-115 C

Because these two functions require different temperatures, the machine needs a short time to adjust between brewing and steaming.
This is completely normal and ensures optimal coffee extraction and milk frothing performance.

Recommended Workflow for Cappuccino & Latte

For the best results when preparing milk-based drinks such as cappuccino or latte, please follow the steps below.

Step 1 - Preheat the Machine

Turn on the machine and allow it to preheat until the brewing temperature reaches approximately 95 C.

Step 2 - Brew the Espresso

Select the Cappuccino or Latte button to start brewing coffee.
Wait until the espresso extraction is fully completed and the coffee stops dripping.

Step 3 - Activate Steam Mode

Press the Milk / Steam button and wait until the temperature increases to approximately 115 C, which is the correct temperature for steaming milk.

Step 4 - Start Steaming Milk

Open the steam knob to release steam.

When the steam knob is first opened, a small amount of hot water may come out for 1-3 seconds before normal steam appears.
This occurs because condensation inside the steam pipe must be released first.

After normal steam appears, place the steam wand into the milk and begin frothing.

After Frothing Milk

After finishing milk frothing, please follow these steps before making another espresso:

  1. Turn off the Milk / Steam button
  2. Open the steam knob again and place a container under the steam wand
  3. Allow hot water to discharge from the steam wand
  4. Wait approximately 60 seconds until the machine temperature drops back to about 95 C
  5. Close the steam knob

The machine is now ready to brew the next cup of espresso.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does water come out before steam?

When the steam knob is first opened, condensation inside the steam pipe may be released.
This can produce a short flow of hot water for 1-3 seconds before normal steam begins.

This behaviour is normal for single-boiler espresso machines.

Why do I need to wait before making the next coffee?

Milk steaming requires a higher temperature (about 115 C) than espresso brewing (about 90-95 C).

After steaming milk, the machine needs a short time to cool down before brewing the next espresso.

Waiting about 60 seconds allows the temperature to return to the correct brewing range.

Why is my espresso too watery?

This may happen if:

  • Coffee grind is too coarse
  • Too little coffee powder is used
  • Coffee is not tamped firmly

For best results, use fine espresso grind coffee and tamp evenly.
