Pressure gauge and espresso extraction
![Electrolux - 800 - Pressure gauge and espresso extraction Pressure gauge and espresso extraction]()
Ideal espresso extraction
A good quality espresso flows steadily from the portafilter with a consistency similar to warm honey. The ideal brewing pressure is between 6 and 12 on the pressure gauge (B). The top layer, the crema, has a caramel color.
Under extraction
If the pressure is lower than 6 on the pressure gauge (A), the espresso flows too fast and becomes sour, acidic and watery. The reasons can be that the coffee grounds are too coarse, the amount of coffee grounds is not sufficient, the coffee beans are old or the coffee grounds are not pressed hard enough with the tamper.
Over extraction
If the pressure is higher than 12 on the pressure gauge (C), the espresso flows too slowly and becomes bitter. The reasons can be that the coffee grounds are too fine, the amount of coffee grounds is too much or the coffee grounds are pressed at too high force with the tamper.
If you use the correct settings and tamper force but the espresso quality remains poor, refer to "Troubleshooting".

Settings and adjustments
To adjust the coffee grind
When the coffee grind is adjusted correctly, the coffee grounds have the same granularity as salt. For freshly roasted coffee beans the recommended setting is 10-15 but the type and quality of coffee beans can make adjustments necessary.
Turn the bean hopper clockwise or counterclockwise to the wanted setting between 0-30. A lower number gives a finer grind. A higher number gives a coarser grind.

Cleaning and care
Espresso machine
The espresso making process involves extracting oils out of coffee grounds. Deposits of coffee grounds and oils build up over time, affecting the coffee taste and operation of the espresso machine.
Running water through the brewing head and steam wand, before and after making each coffee, is the easiest way to keep your espresso machine clean.
Every time before use
- Run water through the brewing head. Refer to "To make an espresso coffee".
Every time after use
- After frothing milk, immediately purge the steam wand by turning the dial to hot water for 1-2 seconds and then clean it with a damp sponge or cloth. Refer to "To froth milk".
- Remove the filter basket from the portafilter with the end of the cleaning brush.
![]()
- Clean the filter basket, portafilter and milk jug with warm water.
![]()
Only the filter baskets and the milk jug are dishwasher safe. - Examine the drip tray float. If it is higher than the surface of the drip tray, it is necessary to empty the drip tray.
- Remove the drip tray.
- Empty the drip tray.

- Clean the shower head with a damp cloth.
![]()
Coffee grinder
Conical burrs are used to grind coffee beans to a suitable grind size for espresso extraction.
Static-free system is equipped to prevent coffee grinds from ejecting outside of the filter basket during grinding.
Deposits of coffee grounds and oils build up over time, affecting the coffee taste and operation of the integrated grinder.
Weekly or at least once every two weeks
- Remove remaining coffee grounds from the grinding cradle and the grind outlet with the cleaning brush.
![]()
- Clean the grinding cradle and the grind outlet with a damp sponge or cloth and then with a dry cloth.
Every 1-2 months
If the grinder is used daily, the burrs need to be cleaned to ensure best performance of the integrated grinder. Regular cleaning helps the burrs achieve consistent grinding results, which is especially important when grinding coffee beans for espresso.
![]()
Never use caustic or abrasive cleaners, and never immerse the product in liquid.
- Make a note of the current grind setting. This is to make sure that you get the same setting after cleaning.

![]()
- Clean the burrs, grinder collar, grind chamber and grind outlet. Refer to "Every 1-2 months".
Descaling
After continued use, your espresso machine may develop a build-up of mineral deposits and therefore require occasional descaling.
We recommend descaling your espresso machine every 4-6 months, although this period will depend on the hardness of water and frequency of use.
Descaling reminder
When the product senses that the water consumption is at 15 liters, the descale light comes on. The descale light stays on until the descaling procedure is completed. You can stop the descaling reminder and restart the water consumption monitor by restoring all factory settings. Refer to "To restore to factory settings".
Note: If the descaling procedure is not fully completed or stopped at any of the steps, it is necessary to restart the procedure from the beginning.
