The drink at the end of the video is a double shot cappuccino. The appearance may change when the drink settles.

Why is the coffee only lukewarm immediately after brewing? It is obviously preheating in the few moments before beginning the brew.

@river_peak8 ай бұрын
the froth selector knob is so unintuitive. so all the way to the right with the plus sign is for the least amount of froth??
@mrwilly418 ай бұрын
So far I am disappointed with the strength of the coffee. I used the double filter size, filled it with Starbucks fine mocha grounds, lighty tamped it, and tried a double cappuccino. Pleanty of froth, but very, very weak on the coffee side. When I tried to add more expresso to my drink, it came out pretty watery for the amount of coffee used. In my normal coffee maker the amount used would have been too strong for me. I feel like I am wasting coffee with this unit. I will try an Americano next time, the cappuccino is just too weak with no real way to strengthen it.😢

your problem is you’re using flavored grounds, you need to use pure espresso. i recommend cafe bustelo

You should make a longer video explaining the froth volume because the way it is displayed is misleading and you end up with a huge mess

Okay. To All in the comments section! I think I found something! So, I was very determined to get a cup of espresso this morning. So I spent about an hour trying to figure out why the machine was not dispensing water for first time use priming. I just happened to put some weight/pressure on the espresso water reservoir (while it was in the cleaning mode), kind of pushing/pressing it downward, and boom, there it went. It started to dispense water from the milk reservoir tank for priming. Hope this helps someone.

@Gourmia8 ай бұрын
One clean cycle is enough. If you haven't already, wash and dry each part before first use. Once all parts have been cleaned and the clean cycle is completed, you can start making drinks. Note: The user manual has been updated, it is best to follow the downloadable version here: www.gourmia.com/item.asp?item=10421 Enjoy!

if youre talking about the layers of the drink.. theres steamed milk + milk foam + coffee!! the foam is very light so it always stays at the top. the coffee itself also creates a very dark foam which is separate & adds to the layers
