FAQ Frequently Asked Questions

The machine features an integrated portafilter and basket with a single outlet hole. While this may resemble a pressurised system, it functions as a non-pressurised basket—similar to those found in many premium machines. This setup allows for a more authentic espresso experience, provided the coffee is correctly ground and tamped.

You can brew using either finely ground espresso coffee or compatible capsules. The machine supports standard Nespresso^®-style pods (including L’OR, Jacobs, Lavazza, Kimbo, and Café Royal). No need to pierce the pods yourself—an adapter is included to handle that automatically.

For best results with ground coffee, use espresso-grade grounds, tamp them lightly, and ensure the portafilter is securely fastened.

This may be due to one of the following:

• The coffee grounds are too coarse. Use a very fine espresso grind.
• The portafilter or filter basket is not properly secured or installed.
• The coffee is not tamped correctly (too loose or too tight).
• The basket or outlet is blocked—clean and reassemble carefully.

No. The Omnia^® Espresso On the Go is designed exclusively for heating water and brewing espresso. Do not attempt to heat milk or any other liquids.

The recommended maximum capacity is 80ml, although 50ml is ideal for producing optimal crema and flavour. Use purified or filtered water to reduce scale build-up and extend the machine’s lifespan. Avoid using mineral or tap water with high mineral content.

At room temperature (25°C), heating 50ml of water to brewing temperature (96°C) and extracting the coffee takes approximately 200 seconds. Larger volumes of water will increase heating time accordingly.

No, the Omnia^® Espresso On the Go cannot be used during charging. Please wait until it is fully charged before brewing.

Use a USB charger with an output of 5V/3A (15W) or higher. Chargers below 15W (such as Apple’s 5W adapter) are not sufficient.
You may charge using either a USB-C to USB-C cable or a USB-A to USB-C cable, depending on your power source.

If charging fails, try using a different USB-C cable. If the issue persists, please contact: customerservice@omniasweden.com.

After a long press to initiate heating, the machine will emit a beep and the LEDs will flash to indicate that it is in progress. Once heating is complete, extraction will start automatically.

No. Once the water and coffee are loaded, the machine handles the heating and extraction automatically. Just press the button and wait—your espresso will be ready shortly.

The machine is designed to stop automatically after the brewing cycle. If it does not, you can manually stop the process with a single press of the power button.

• Five flashing lights and three beeps
  The battery is too low. Please charge the machine fully before using.
• Machine doesn’t heat despite being plugged in
  Insufficient charge. Charging is required even if connected to power.

The machine includes a simple self-cleaning cycle. To maintain hygiene, rinse the basket and water chamber after use, and occasionally run a cycle using only clean water.

Avoid using boiling water to clean the outer shell, as it may cause discolouration. A sponge and mild detergent are sufficient for general cleaning.

• Ensure the portafilter is tightened securely.
• Check that the correct basket is installed and free from blockage.
• If needed, press the button twice quickly to initiate a double-extraction mode.
• Clean the unit and retry.

Omnia® Classic is a construction made up of three parts. The parts must always be used together and provide both heat from above and below. The Omnia® oven is a specially designed round shape with a hole in the middle. It stands on a bowl-shaped base that also has a hole in the middle. The bowl shape conducts warm air from the heat source along the underside of the Omnia® oven and provides heat from below. The center holes in the base and the Omnia® dish allows the heat from the stove to rise up through the construction, hit the lid and provide heat from above. The lid has ventilation holes.

No, do not put water in the base. The bottom heat rises from the hot air.

Be careful with the heat, on a gas stove it’s easy to get too hot.

• On portable electric hot plate 2,000 W – use high heat.
• On an alcohol stove (like Origo/Cookmate) with an output of 2,000 W – a little less than half the output is usually fine.
• On a gas hob 2,500 W – start off testing just above the lowest flame.

Hint!

For short cooking times (10–20 minutes in total) and on an electric hot plate, the stainless steel base can be preheated on high heat for about 3 minutes. This facilitates the heating of the oven. Some bread and cakes need to be kick-started with a preheated base and oven at highest heat for 1 minute. Much like when you set a baking tray in a regular hot oven to get extra effect.

No! Aluminum should be washed by hand to avoid discolouration.

No, it is not dangerous. You can keep using your Omnia. The Pan will just be a little rougher and not as nice and smooth as before.

No, the Omnia is made only in aluminium.

No, induction only produces under heat. And not enough.

The stainless steel base is magnetic and therefore works on induction. But the shape of the bowl means that there is not enough heat. In addition, it doesn’t create any hot air that provides the heat from above. Do not use Omnia® Classic on induction.

Yes, the Omnia works great on an electric burner, preferably 2000W.

Yes, you can.

Yes, the Omnia works on a Trangia stove. Place the oven where you would normally use the frying pan.

Yes indeed. Omnia can used on all sources of heat except induction hobs. The challenge can be to figure out the right heat for the Omnia.

Our recipes are based on being prepared in an Omnia® Classic Original 2L. Omnia® Classic Maxi 3L is 50 percent larger. Therefore, in most recipes, you can increase the amount by half to double the batch. Start by increasing by half a batch only for recipes where the ingredients will rise in the pan during cooking. The cooking times are the same.

Wash it with warm water and washing-up liquid. It is also dishwasher safe.

Try washing it with lemon water.

Tips from customers:

Preheat the oven at home to 175 °C/350 °F. Wash the silicone mould and place it in the oven for about 30 minutes.

No, not at all. Everything you can do with a silicone mould, you can also do directly in a well-greased and floured (when baking) Omnia® pan. The silicone mould primarily provides easier cleaning of the dish. The moulds are especially appreciated by those who cook gratins and other food that normally sticks to the pan. When baking, the silicone mould makes it easier to pick up and tap out the bread or cake.

Damage to the Silicone Mould is usually caused by heat that is too high. Either the base was not used (it must always be used!) or the heat from the cooker was too high. If you are using an LPG cooker, it is especially important to be careful with the heat.

Therefore, in most recipes, you can increase the amount by half to double the batch. Start by increasing by half a batch only for recipes where the ingredients will rise in the pan during cooking. The cooking times are the same.

Yes. If you use the Silicone Mould, it should always be generously greased and if you are using it to bake, flour it too.

The best way to clean the Omnia® oven is to let it stand for a while with cold water in it. The cold water dissolves the starch in the food. Then wash with a little washing-up liquid in warm water as usual.

No! Aluminum should be washed by hand to avoid discolouration.

No, it is not dangerous. You can keep using your Omnia. The Pan will just be a little rougher and not as nice and smooth as before.
