Who owns the OTTO company?
OTTO espresso Pty Ltd is the owner and developer of OTTO - A 100% Australian owned and managed business.

How does OTTO work ?
OTTO�s brewing system is completely sealed and is independent of the body. Steam and water will pass freely between the body and brewing system, occasionally exiting between the head, boiler and body. It is normal for water to pass between the body and the boiler at OTTO�s base. This is avoidable by filling the boiler accurately. Click here for more info.

Is OTTO easy to clean ?
Cleaning OTTO's body - lock the group handle and boiler lid into place and place OTTO on a sink top. Use a soft wet soapy cloth to wipe OTTO clean. Rinse under warm water and dry with a tea towel.

Cleaning the group handle - pull the basket from the handle and wash the handle and basket in warm soapy water. Rinse, then dry with a tea towel.

Maintenance of the boiler - the boiler is solid stainless steel and has an electro polished surface. There is no need to empty the boiler when OTTO's in regular use. If you're storing OTTO for any longer than a week we do recommend using a clean absorbent cloth or towel to soak residual water from the boiler and dry the inside surface.

Removing the shower screen - in the front pocket of the OTTO travel case you'll find an alan key. This is provided so you can remove and clean the shower screen in OTTO's head. Fold a tea towel into a soft pad, take OTTO and turn upside down, resting the top of the head on the tea towel. Use the alan key to remove the screw in the shower screen. Gently leaver the black head seal from the inside of the head and remove the seal and shower screen together. Wash the screen in warm soapy water, rinse, then dry with a tea towel. Replace the screen and seal back in to the head and secure with screw, using the alan key to tighten.

Clearing the steam wand nozzle - the nozzle at the bottom of the steam wand will be finger tightened. Simply unscrew the nozzle, wash in warm soapy water, using a narrow poultry pin to clear the hole. Rinse the nozzle with clean water and refit to the steam wand using your fingers to tighten.

This is all the maintenance required at home. Any work required beyond these simple steps will need to be carried out by an OTTO authorized service centre.

What Grinder should I use with OTTO?
OTTO produces quality espresso from 'finely ground' coffee beans. As the grind recommended is slighly finer than your traditional espresso grind, we recommend that you ask your barista or coffee appliance retailer for a grinder that can grind coffee close to the consistancy of a Turkish grind.

What Beans should I use with OTTO?
The ideal taste of coffee is very subjective. OTTO recommends that you select a coffee bean to your own liking. Note that the extraction from OTTO is slightly milder than a conventional espresso machine and, ussed correctly, OTTO produces a smooth mild taste. You can change the overall 'taste' of your coffee by adjusting your milk quantity

What do I do if I want to make multiple coffee's from OTTO?
Refer to the instruction manual. You should always let OTTO cool down after each use. Using OTTO immediately after a cycle without cooling will probably produce burnt coffee that will be unpleasant to drink
