You will just need to adjust the frothing dial so less froth comes and out and I just made more shots of coffee if I wanted it stronger. Hope this helps

After a week the frother stopped working after I left milk in it overnight, which curdled. I cleaned it, but now it won't suck up milk, it just steams, and if I turn the dial fully to the left it explode steam out the top of the frother.

Anyone knows how to fix it?

Hi Matthew, have you tried soaking the whole black part that comes out from the milk frothing area? you might find it has milk dried up in there?

Can you use this to make long black?

You can press espresso once for single shot twice for double shot, or hold down for 3 seconds to just run water through the coffee until you press it again to stop the flow. I don't know if that's a long black.

You buy bags of ground coffee beans .. as this machine doesn’t grind the coffee..the bags of coffee can be bought from coles (supermarkets) for around $9 a 500gram bag...heaps of flavours..my favourite is “Italian espresso “... Hope that you found this helpful...

How do i get the milk to froth for my cappuccino?

F. Fuller

F. Fullerasked

My husband likes to have a double shot long black but instead of filling the cup with hot water and adding his expresso shots he just continuously does expresso shots till the cup is full. I’m not a coffee drinking so finding it difficult to figure out how to explain to him that’s not right. I asked when I bought the coffee from a local coffee place and was told you fill the cup then add your shots.. so question is, can this machine fill the cup with just hot water first ? Or do you need to add that from the kettle? Which is what I’ve been doing when I make it but seems silly that you need to use a separate water sauce so thinking I’m missing something .. any tips?

I’m not sure if this is what your husband wants but you can try using the double espresso ports filter, fill till about 14-15gr of coffee. Long press the espresso button till it starts. Hope this helps.

That is what he was doing repeatedly until his cup was full lol. I’ve taken this machine back though and purchased a different brand. Still the same issue so I think we must just have big cups of coffee lol

Rinse milk container. Fill with clean water and hold down latte button for 3 seconds to steam the water through into a jug or cup. Hope this helps.

What is the lock-unlock knob on the back of the milk container on the Anko Semi Automatic coffee maker for? And, do you set it to lock or unlock when using the machine?

Set it to lock. You unlock it and take it out to clean the inside of the milk reservoir area. When you pop it back in, make sure it's locked. I'm guessing there's a bit of steam pressure in there to froth the milk.

Oz R.

Oz R.asked

Do I store the milk reservoir in the fridge with the lid (including dispensing tube and froth control knob) on or is that lid electrical and not to be put into fridge? Also do we need to "prime the unit" each time before use? ty for any prompt assistance you can give me in this matter

Richie
Richie

Yep. I put my entire milk reservoir into the fridge, lid and all. There are no electrical components in the reservoir's lid. The milk is processed by pressurized steam that is fed into the lid from the main bit of the machine. Cheers.

I bought the semi automatic coffee machine two weeks ago. It has been fine for 2 weeks. Today no milk is coming out. I followed the trouble shooting in the manuel and have washed it in warm soapy water and cleaned the system using the latte/clean method, used oold milk but nothing has worked. Any ideas?

Rebecca D.asked

This coffee machine is making my coffee undrinkably burnt every time. I'm using the same plain ground beans in my stove top old fashioned Italian style maker and they are smooth as. What can I do to help? I was bought this as a gift and I'm ready to throw it out less than two weeks later. Feel bad as my husband completely doesn't understand any green living principles and I would never buy myself an electrical device when something manual will do. But I hate it. Oh and every cup when I take out the handle after it's like sludge, not a nice firm brown disc.

I found that a heaped scoop that is tamped down level with the top of the cup works perfectly. If you can't get it right that way I would take it back and ask for another one, sounds like you've got a dodgy one. I know the other model of Kmart Coffee Machine has a lot of people complaining about burnt plastic taste. Mine tastes as good as a coffee shop one and has no flavour or aftertaste at all.

Burnt plastic is exactly the taste
