The temperature of the machine is set to have a water temperature at 93°C when the water hit the coffee in the pod. That is the right temperature to ensure the right extraction of the coffee and caffeine from the beans.
The temperature in the cup is influenced by a variety of factors, for example, environmental, the temperature of the cup itself (that’s why professional barista keep the cups hot) or the distance of the cup from the brewing nozzle. If you want a hotter coffee in your cup, try to run the machine without a pod for few seconds so the hot water warmup the cup. Then, pop your pod and sip the coffee.

No sweat. It can happen. The pod container is designed to fit up to 10-12 used pods maximum. But sometimes you might forget to empty and it can get jammed.
If that is your case, firmly hold the machine in place and with your other hand pull the container forward away from the machine. Gently but firmly. Swing it left and right until it pops out.
If you forget to empty the pod container and it gets too full, one or more pods can remain pilled up inside of the machine. If that is your case, after emptying the pod container, unplug the machine, and with a non sharp tool GENTLY push the pod that got jammed in the machine forward and down.
Our machine works only with our pods and vice-versa. We carefully engineered our pod and our machine to constantly deliver the best cup of coffee.
