The Little Guy recommends that you select a coffee bean to your own liking. Note that the extraction from The Little Guy is slightly milder than a conventional commercial espresso machine and, if used correctly, The Little Guy produces a smooth even flavour. You can change the overall ‘taste' of your coffee by adjusting your milk quantity.
We also recommnd 36th Parallel Coffee Roasters. https://www.36parallelcoffee.com.au/
"Things to check:
Again, heat source combined with grind and dosing technique when loading your basket with coffee affects your crema. Refer to our extraction video.

Cleaning The Little Guy's body — lock the group handle and boiler lid into place. Use a soft wet soapy cloth to wipe the Little Guy clean. Rinse under warm water and dry with a tea towel. Using a microfibre cloth also works well.
Cleaning the group handle — pull the basket from the handle and wash both separately in warm soapy water. Rinse, then dry with a tea towel or microfibre cloth.
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 The Little Guy's in regular use. If you're storing The Little Guy 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 (refer to our Hints & Tips video for removal) — fold a tea towel into a soft pad, take The Little Guy and turn upside down, resting the top of the head on the tea towel. Using the allen key from The Little Guy Kit, remove the screw in the shower screen in The Little Guy's head. 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 into the head and secure the screw, using the allen key to tighten.
Clearing the steam wand nozzle — the nozzle at the end of the steam wand will be finger/hand tightened. Simply unscrew the nozzle, wash in warm soapy water and use a small paperclip, with blunt end, to clear the hole (avoid using a pin or anything with a sharp end). 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 a Little Guy authorized service centre.
