The LED flashes while the machine is heating up. When it stops flashing it means that the machine is ready to dispense coffee. If the machine is not used for 9 minutes it goes into standby and starts flashing intermittently. To use the machine, switch it off and on again.
The tank always has to be full, otherwise the machine won’t dispense coffee. The water needs to be replaced daily to make good coffee. It is necessary to use a descaling filter that needs to be placed in the tank. The drip tray should be emptied after 12-14 cups of coffee. The machine needs to be cleaned frequently. The plastic parts can be washed with a sponge or in the dishwasher while the parts with electric circuits must not be immersed in water. If the machine is not used for a long time, dispense other cups of water. For further information, please contact the assistance service.

The Design Department of Casa del Caffè Vergnano has chosen these colours to give a vintage look to the machine. If you prefer a more classic style, the Trè Legno machine with a black cable might be ideal for you.
If this happens, we advise you to wait until the LED stops flashing – only then will the machine be ready to dispense coffee – and to preheat your coffee cup, e.g. under hot water from the tap, to obtain the perfect espresso.
