Vigtige sikkerhedsinstruktioner
Ved brug af elektriske apparater skal grundlæggende sikkerhedsforanstaltninger altid følges for at reducere risikoen for brand, elektrisk stød og/eller personskade, herunder følgende:
- Læs alle instruktioner.
- Rør ikke ved varme overflader. Brug håndtag eller knopper.
- For at beskytte mod brand, elektrisk stød og personskade må ledning, stik eller apparat ikke nedsænkes i vand eller anden væske.
- Tæt opsyn er nødvendigt, når et apparat bruges af eller i nærheden af børn.
- Træk stikket ud af stikkontakten, når det ikke er i brug, og før rengøring. Lad det køle af, før du sætter dele på eller af, og før du rengør apparatet.
- Betjen ikke noget apparat med en beskadiget ledning eller stik, eller efter at apparatet ikke fungerer korrekt eller er blevet beskadiget på nogen måde.
- Brug af tilbehør, der ikke er anbefalet af apparatets producent, kan resultere i brand, elektrisk stød eller personskade.
- Må ikke bruges udendørs.
- Lad ikke ledningen hænge ud over kanten af bordet eller bordpladen eller røre ved varme overflader.
- Må ikke placeres på eller i nærheden af en varm gas- eller elektrisk brænder eller i en opvarmet ovn.
- Sæt altid stikket i apparatet først, og sæt derefter ledningen i stikkontakten. For at afbryde forbindelsen skal du slukke for en vilkårlig knap og derefter tage stikket ud af stikkontakten.
- Brug ikke apparatet til andet end tilsigtet brug.
Produkt overview
The FOHERE 20 Bar Espresso Machine is designed to deliver optimal flavor and barista-quality espresso at home. It incorporates several key technologies for precise brewing and milk texturing.

Billede: Overview of the FOHERE Espresso Machine, illustrating its 8 key technologies including preheating, pressure pump, powerful steam, constant temperature, pre-infusion, 3-in-1 portafilter, flow meter, and safety protection.
Nøglefunktioner:
- 20 Bar High-Pressure Pump: Ensures fast and stable extraction for rich crema and intense flavors.
- Powerful Steam System: Features a 360° rotating steam wand with 5 adjustable steam levels and 120 seconds of continuous steam for microfoam milk.
- Consistent Dose Amount: Offers flexible shot control for single, double, or manual espresso volumes.
- Three Filter Baskets: Includes a one-shot filter, a two-shot filter, and an easy-serve espresso (ESE) pod filter.
- Dynamisk præinfusion: Gently soaks ground coffee to ensure even extraction.
- Constant Temperature Technology: Utilizes PID temperature control and NTC temperature sensing for stable brewing temperature.
Opsætning
1. Udpakning
Carefully remove all packaging materials from the machine. Ensure all components are present: main unit, portafilter, filter baskets (single, double, ESE pod), measuring scoop/tamper, and water tank. Inspect the machine for any damage.
2. First Use / Priming the Machine
- Fill the water tank with fresh, cold water up to the MAX line.
- Place an empty cup under the coffee outlet and another under the steam wand.
- Turn on the machine. Allow it to preheat until the indicator light is stable.
- Run a cycle of hot water through the coffee outlet without coffee in the portafilter.
- Open the steam knob to release steam for 10-15 seconds to prime the steam system. Close the knob.
- Repeat steps 4 and 5 once more. The machine is now primed and ready for use.
3. Vandtank
The water tank is located at the back of the machine. Lift it to remove, fill with fresh, cold water, and place it back securely. Ensure it is properly seated to prevent leaks.
Betjeningsvejledning
1. Fremstilling af espresso
- Klargør portafilteret: Select the desired filter basket (single, double, or ESE pod) and insert it into the portafilter.
- Tilsæt kaffegrums: For a single shot, use approximately 7g of finely ground espresso coffee. For a double shot, use approximately 14g. Distribute the grounds evenly.
- Tamp kaffen: Brug den medfølgende tamper to press the coffee grounds firmly and evenly. Ensure a level surface.
- Fastgør portafilter: Sæt portafilteret i gruppehovedet, og drej det fast til højre, indtil det er sikkert låst.
- Placer kop(ker): Placer en eller to espressokopper på drypbakken under portafilterets tuder.
- Vælg skud: Press the single or double cup button. The machine will automatically dispense the programmed amount of espresso. For manual control, press and hold the single/double cup button for 3 seconds to enter setup mode, then press again to start extraction. Press a third time to stop.

2. Mælkeskumning
- Forbered mælk: Fill a stainless steel frothing pitcher with cold milk (ideally whole milk with >3% fat content) to just below the spout.
- Aktiver Steam: Turn the steam knob to the steam position. Wait for the machine to reach steaming temperature (indicator light stable).
- Rens damprør: Åbn kort dampknappen for at tømme eventuelt kondensvand ud. Luk knappen.
- Skummælk: Insert the steam wand tip just below the surface of the milk. Open the steam knob fully. Adjust the pitcher's position to create a swirling motion, incorporating air for foam.
- Varm mælk: Once desired foam is achieved, lower the wand deeper into the milk to heat it to approximately 60-65°C (140-150°F). Do not exceed 70°C (160°F).
- Stop med at dampe: Luk dampknappen, og fjern derefter kanden.
- Rengør stav: Tør straks dampdysen af med en damppistol.amp klud for at fjerne eventuelle mælkerester. Åbn kort dampknappen igen for at fjerne eventuel mælk fra indersiden af stangen.

3. Switching Between Espresso and Steam Modes
The machine allows for quick switching between espresso brewing and steam generation. To switch from espresso to steam mode, allow approximately 20 seconds for the machine to increase temperature. To switch from steam back to espresso mode, allow approximately 10 seconds for complete pressure relief.

Vedligeholdelse og rengøring
Regelmæssig rengøring og vedligeholdelse er afgørende for din espressomaskines levetid og optimale ydeevne.
1. Daglig rengøring
- Portafilter og filterkurve: After each use, remove the portafilter and discard the coffee grounds. Rinse the portafilter and filter basket under hot water. For the double-lined portafilter basket (approximately 47.5mm), ensure thorough rinsing to prevent coffee residue buildup between the layers. Allow to air dry completely.
- Gruppeleder: Wipe the group head with a damp cloth to remove any coffee grounds. Run a short cycle of hot water without the portafilter to rinse.
- Dampstang: As mentioned in the operating instructions, wipe the steam wand immediately after frothing and purge steam to clear any milk residue.
- Drypbakke: Tøm og rengør drypbakken regelmæssigt.
- Vandtank: Skyl vandtanken dagligt og fyld den op med frisk vand.
2. Afkalkning
Over time, mineral deposits (limescale) can build up in the machine, affecting performance. Descale your machine every 2-3 months, or more frequently if you have hard water. Use a commercial descaling solution designed for espresso machines and follow the product's instructions. Always rinse the machine thoroughly with several cycles of fresh water after descaling.
