Maintenance
How to look after your Espresso Series 1
A thermoblock machine, such as the Quick Mill Pop, Pegaso and Orione, heats the water as it passes through. It is quick to warm up but sensitive to limescale, so regular descaling is the most important maintenance. Here is the schedule and the products we recommend.
Good to know about the Fellow Espresso Series 1
Fellow recommends descaling every three months with their descaler or a liquid, biodegradable descaler. Do not use vinegar.
You start backflushing in the maintenance menu. The disc sits under the storage pad and is used with the portafilter and cleaning detergent.
Cold, soft and filtered water reduces limescale deposits and gives a better taste.

Water and filters
The right water protects your machine
The target is 2–4 °dH. Measure the hardness with the BWT water test and use a filter in the tank, and the longer interval will be enough. Do not use distilled water.
Water tank
The Espresso Series 1 runs from a water tank. Use an in-tank filter and replace it every 2–3 months.
