We know that no one likes to read machine instructions carefully, and since we have this in common, Incapto Coffee always think about every detail, that is why we have decided to do the complete task to bring you the summary.
Know all its functions
We must start by removing the coffee maker from the box, we proceed to remove the protective films. Make sure you have removed all the stickers, including the one on the indicator lights, in the same color as the machine.
Then, we have to find the ideal place to locate it and then connect it. Once this step is finished, we will tell you what each message that could appear means before you start preparing your first coffee.
A- If it flashes, there is no water
B- It informs us that coffee beans are missing
C- If it lights up permanently, it means that the coffee grounds compartment is full. If it does so intermittently, the drip tray or coffee grounds container is missing.
D- If it lights up continuously, it means that there is no coffee or that it is incorrectly placed. If it is intermittent, it is due to the lack of the side door that may be open or incorrectly positioned.
E- If it lights up continuously, it informs us that you need to carry out the descaling process, which includes our coffee maker. When you run out of the descaling product you can buy it on the website. Incapto Coffee or any specialized store. While the descaling process is carried out the light will be flashing.
How to use it correctly?
Now the next step is to place the external drip tray that has magnets. Subsequently, we use filtered or bottled water to fill the tank to the maximum level. Don't forget to use the lid as a handle. Try to fill it without removing it, this will avoid getting the electrical parts wet and causing incidents.
Finally, we fill the compartment with coffee. You must keep in mind that only coffee beans should be placed. If you use ground, instant, roasted or mixed coffee, we can damage the machine. Once this is done, we put an empty container and that's it! We can turn it on.
Know your coffee maker
When you use it for the first time you will notice that the coffee maker will take longer than usual. If this is the case and at the same time the hot water light flashes, we recommend that you press the button to start the purging process, in order to expel any air that is inside. The coffee maker Incapto Coffee, we advise you to throw away the first coffee you prepare in this machine. This is because the drink will not be 100% delicious, because the recommended amount of coffee has not been used.
It should be noted that, after you turn the coffee maker on and off, it will begin the rinsing process automatically, a function that will not cause you to waste water and will help to heat the pipe before preparing the drink and, of course, to keep it clean so you can enjoy a delicious cup of coffee. But if this seems unnecessary to you, the instruction manual explains how to deactivate this process.
The only thing left is to prepare the coffee, and to do this all the lights on the machine must be on and none of them blinking, so we proceed to remove the glass of water and put the cup that we are going to use. When we have everything completely assembled, we press the preference option and after a few minutes, we will see that all the lights turn on again to notify that our coffee is ready.
If the drink does not have the intensity that you like so much, you just have to adjust the grinding point, see if it is fine enough. Remember that this will always depend on your tastes.
Do not hesitate to contact us if you have any problems with the use of your super-automatic coffee maker, Incapto Coffee, we will be there to help you.
What can I prepare with my coffee maker?
If you want an exquisite, intense or mild coffee, your wishes can only come true by properly adapting our machine and here we will explain how to do it in the simplest way.
Well, for the preparation we must press on setting for two seconds and configure the option of our favorite coffee, later, three buttons will begin to flash, you will have to press any of these to memorize the volume you want. The one you selected is fixed and will begin to appear. Press again and hold until the desired amount comes out. Now the machine has memorized this preparation that you will enjoy again when you press that button.
It is important that you keep in mind that, during the first 10 seconds of the extraction, the flavors will be more intense, since the acids are extracted. During this process, we can see how the coffee begins to caramelize with the hot water and the sweet flavors appear. After 20 seconds, the machine extracts bitter flavors. That is why, the longer we brew the coffee, the bitter taste predominates even more.
Tips for a long coffee Exquisite!
That said, Incapto Coffee advises you the following to prepare a long coffee:
-If you are one of those who love the characteristic intensity of espresso, and you always want more, you can prepare two cups in one. Wait for the first brew to finish and press again to order the other.
-But if you like it long because the espresso is very intense or strong, just add hot water to make it softer.
-If you extend it directly with coffee, this will make it a bitter drink and you will not be able to distinguish the rest of the flavors.
Creamier espresso
If you want a creamy and delicious espresso, we advise you to preheat the cup, remember to use the correct one, so that a beautiful cream comes out, the ideal is to try to ensure that when serving the coffee, it falls on the side and not directly in the center.
In case the coffee maker runs out of coffee while it is grinding and even if not enough amount comes out, don't worry, it will prepare a much smoother drink.
Coffee without cream Why?
There are several reasons why our coffee does not have cream and they are the following:
-If the grinding point is very coarse, our coffee will have little consistency, it will even seem like “dirty water”. You will have to modify the option to fine grind. For this machine, it is advisable to do it while it is in operation, to prevent any grain from stagnating.
-Put a small amount of coffee for the soft or long option, add more water. With this we will have a drink with less cream and without intensity. The longer it is, the less cream it will have.
-If the machine is not hot enough, the coffee will have a less white cream. If the problem persists, it may be a limescale problem.
-When the coffee is not 100% fresh, it will hardly have cream. To avoid this, we must check the roasting date of our coffee before buying it, which is much more important than the expiration date. Although coffee does not expire, its organoleptic properties disappear.
It adjusts to your preferences!
As we highlighted above, the super-automatic machine is capable of making various types of preparation. For example, if you want a smoother and longer American-style coffee, you can achieve it by simply pressing the “hot water” option and finally mixing. But it's not all coffee, since it is also used to prepare infusions.
milk cream
It will be difficult to get the famous milk cream that we usually see in the Cappuccino that they sell in the cafeteria, since the machine is for home use and for obvious reasons has limitations. But the trick we use is to introduce air to the milk.
In super-automatic coffee makers, the duct for coffee and steam turn out to be the same. We recommend preparing the coffee first than emulsifying the milk, since the temperature necessary for steam is much higher than that of espresso; if we do it the other way around, the drink would have more bitter and burnt flavors.
How to clean it properly?
If you want to keep the coffee maker Incapto Coffee, Consider the following recommendations:
-The first thing you should do is remove the external drip tray to clean and dry it.
-Take out the internal waste tray and empty the container with clean water and dry it.
-You must open the side door, we take out the group, we clean it, dry it correctly and put it back in its place.
-Unlock the nozzle cover by turning counterclockwise, sometimes you may need pliers, then pull down to remove it. Pull the metal tube down to remove it. Wash with warm water and reinstall.
- If you activate the self-cleaning function, this should be done when the machine warns or once a month, everything will depend on the hardness of the water we use. To do this, we have to fill the water tank to its maximum point and add a packet of disqualifying powders. Our coffee maker will notify you when it is time to undergo self-cleaning. Avoid using any other cleaning product or vinegar, as this could damage the machine.
-If the ground coffee outlet is not properly cleaned, it can stick to the wall of the duct. It is suggested to clean this area following the duct to ensure that the coffee can reach the coffee maker. You can use a cleaning brush.
Why should I descale my coffee maker?
One of the main causes of breakdowns in any type of coffee maker is limescale. Because this can clog the machine and cause it to not heat enough, resulting in lukewarm coffee. That is why it is recommended to do the descaling process periodically.
When the determined amount of coffees has been made. The descaling icon will light up on our coffee maker. If the water you use is too hard, it is probably appropriate for this process.
How should I do it?
Now, the first thing we must do is fill the water tank and place descaling powders. At the same time, we must have a preferably large container so that all the water in the tank can fit.
Once this step is finished, we proceed to start descaling. When the panel is in standby mode, with all lights on. We have to simultaneously press the espresso button and the power button for at least 5 seconds. You will hear a sound and the espresso light and descaling light will flash.
