COFFEE PREPARATION
• How is the coffee extracted from the machine?
After selecting the desired beverage, the right amount of
coffee is dispensed automatically from the coffee box to the
mixing chamber. Mixed together with water, the coffee is
brewed creating a coffee cyclone that brings out all of the rich
flavour, aroma and creates a fine golden crema on black cups.
• Can I adjust the Coffee pre-settings?
You can customise the coffee settings to your taste
according to pre-defined menu settings. Please refer to the
User Manual page 8.
• While extracting coffee, does any message come up if there
is not enough coffee in the coffee box?
There is no sensor that indicates that the coffee is running
low. Please check before preparation as it is simple to check
the remaining coffee amount by looking at the coffee box.
• How long should coffee stay in the coffee box?
It’s recommended to consume within a month.
• Why do I have to use NESCAFÉ GOLD coffee and not
NESCAFÉ Original or Brasero?
The NESCAFÉ GOLD BLEND Barista System machine has
been designed to deliver the best of NESCAFÉ GOLD
coffees and Nestlé recommends to use NESCAFÉ GOLD.
Other products will obstruct the dosing system and block
the machine.
• Can I just stop in the middle of extraction as the cup
prepared is too long for my taste?
In case you do not have other choice (took a small cup), you
can stop the coffee preparation. However the system might
require afterwards a rinse (red icon) in order to empty the
remaining coffee from the system. In that case, please place
a cup on the drip tray, and press the corresponding flashing
button. To fully enjoy the experience, we recommend you to
adjust your preparation parameter to your taste, this is possible
on all black cups. Please refer to the User Manual page 8.
MILK PREPARATION
• How is the milk / coffee creamer transformed into frothed milk?
Our system uses a unique technology that froths the milk
without contact with the machine by dissolving the creamer
powder / by heating up the milk with a high velocity water jet,
thus creating a delicious beverage with ease. We recommend
you to use full fat milk for a longer lasting milk froth.
• I pressed the Cappuccino button, and milk does not come out.
You need to separately buy milk or creamer which you
have to place in your cup (please use measuring cup
for fresh milk) in order to have Cappuccino and Latte
Macchiato.
• How can I make my coffee more creamy / milky?
Please use full fat milk to make it more creamy / milky.
• Can I put milk into the water tank?
No, only water can be put into the water tank. Milk
should be poured directly into the cup.
MACHINE OPERATION
• What is the machine warranty?
Nestlé provide a 2 year warranty from the day of purchase. Please
ensure you keep the proof of purchase for returns/exchanges.
• Where does the machine come from?
The machines is designed & engineered in Switzerland,
assembled in China.
• Is it possible to use the machine abroad?
The NESCAFÉ GOLD BLEND Barista System machine has
specific voltage (see on the bottom, under the machine or
in the user manual) and should not be used otherwise.
• Why does paper cup keep moving on the drip tray
during beverage preparation?
The machine works with pressure pump and it creates some
vibrations. We strongly recommend not to use paper cups,
preferably porcelain cups.
• Why do I need to descale the machine and how do I
trigger the decaling process?
Depending on your water quality or water hardness, and
machine usage frequency, limescale will build over time in
your machine, to the point it obstruct water pipes. At that
stage, the machine can no longer dispense coffee and need
to be descaled. Please refer to the relevant chapters in the
User Manual page 17.
• How often should I clean the system?
Each time you refill the coffee box, you should do a regular
clean up at least the external dosing disks with a soft dry
cloth. This will remove the coffee powder, that over time
may create some blockage in the system.
• Does the jet nozzle come off from the machine for wash?
No, the jet nozzle does not need to be dismantled. If no
water comes through, it might be that there is some scale
inside blocking. In that case please refer to the “descaling”
procedure in the User Manual page 17.
• How do I clean the coffee box?
The coffee box (transparent) and the dosing disks
(coloured parts) should not be placed in the dishwasher.
The transparent part should not be cleaned under water but
with a soft cloth to remove coffee dust. The dosing disk can
be dismantled and cleaned with a wet cloth but need to
be dried for at least a full night before being reassembled.
In case there is some remaining humidity in the coffee box
after reassembly it will block the system. Please refer to the
User Manual pages 15-16 for detailed instructions.
• Although the water has been filled, the water supply
indicator blinks
Please empty your water tank and check nothing might be
blocking. It might be the case that some scale has built up
into the system over time and that the machine needs to be
descaled. Please refer to the User Manual page 17.
