COWSAR 20 Bar Espresso Machine with Milk Frother, Compact Stainless Steel

1. Add one level scoop of ground coffee to the single-cup filter or two scoops to the double-cup filter. Tamp evenly without exceeding MAX. 2. Lock the portafilter into the brew head and place a prewarmed cup, or two cups for a double shot, on the drip tray. 3. Press Single or Double; press the same button again to stop early. Watch the gauge and adjust grind, dose, or tamping to reach the optimal zone. 4. After brewing, wait 30 sec before removing the portafilter, then empty and rinse it. 1. Use cold milk and press Steam; wait until its light stays solid. 2. Turn the knob ON and purge for 10 sec until steam is steady, then turn it OFF. 3. Keep the steam outlet just below the milk surface, tilt the pitcher, and turn the knob ON to draw in air. As the milk expands, move the outlet slightly deeper to create a whirlpool. Starting too deep may heat the milk without enough foam. 4. Turn the knob OFF before removing the pitcher. Wipe and purge the wand; metal parts are hot. 1. Remove the red shipping plug under the tank. Fill with clean water without exceeding MAX, then reinstall. 2. Fit an empty filter in the portafilter, lock it into the brew head, and place a container on the drip tray. 3. Keep the steam/hot water knob at OFF. Power on; wait until the lights stay solid. 4. Press Double Cup to flush. When finished, remove and rinse the portafilter. Place a container under the steam wand, turn the knob ON to flush it with hot water, then return it to OFF. 1. Hold Single or Double for 3 sec until its indicator flashes. 2. Press the same button once to start dispensing, then press it again when the desired amount is reached; the setting is saved for next use. 3. The valid range is 10-25 sec for Single and 20-50 sec for Double; inputs below the minimum time are not saved. 4. To restore factory volumes, hold Single and Double together for 3 sec. Both indicators flash 3 times to confirm the reset. 1. Dissolve one descaling sachet in 1.2 L of water, let it stand for 5 minutes, then fill the tank. 2. Place a 500 ml container under the brew head and a 1 L container under the steam wand. 3. In standby, hold Steam for 5 sec to start. After about 11 minutes, when the Single and Double lights flash faster, turn the knob ON to flush the steam outlet, then return it to OFF within 1 minute. 4. Refill with clean water and repeat the cycle twice. Keep clear of hot water and steam. 1. If coffee or steam output becomes weak or stops, turn off and unplug the machine, then let it cool completely. 2. Remove the filter and use the thinner end of the included cleaning pin to clear blocked holes. 3. Use the thicker end to clear the steam wand opening. Rinse the parts, reinstall them securely, and run a water-only cycle before brewing. 4. Never insert the pin while the machine is hot, powered on, or under pressure. What product protection and technical assistance are included? Your espresso machine includes 12 months of product protection. Our team can assist with questions about setup, brewing, cleaning, and troubleshooting. They are always ready to help. Is this espresso machine beginner-friendly? Yes. Simple buttons support single or double shots, while the pressure gauge helps beginners understand extraction. Programmable volumes and dual brewing for grounds or compatible capsules make daily use flexible and approachable. Is the espresso machine easy to clean and maintain? Yes. The water tank, drip tray, drip plate, and steam nozzle are removable. A reminder appears after 500 cycles, and the built-in descaling program performs the main cycle in about 11 minutes. Rinse parts regularly and follow the manual. How do I get hotter, more consistent espresso? Preheat for about 35 seconds and brew when the Power, Single, and Double lights stay solid. For hotter espresso, run a water-only cycle to warm the cup, filter, and portafilter. PID and NTC help regulate temperature. Brew before steaming. Which capsules are compatible with this machine? The capsule filter fits compatible small oval capsules only, not every shape or size. This machine has no built-in grinder, so whole beans must be ground separately.
