Using the Saeco Aulika Evo Top Super-Automatic Espresso Machine is easy. First, fill the water container with fresh water and the coffee bean container with your favorite coffee beans. Then, turn on the machine and wait for it to heat up. You can use the capacitive interface with backlit icons to select your desired drink. For milk drinks, if you have the Top version, the high - speed milk function will quickly froth the milk. When using the machine, make sure it's placed on a stable surface. Also, keep it away from heat sources and water splashes. For maintenance, use the AquaClean water filters to reduce the need for frequent descaling. You only need to descale the machine after brewing about 5,000 cups. Clean the grinder regularly to ensure optimal performance. Wipe the exterior of the machine with a damp cloth to keep it looking good.
