The 'wait' message appears when the machine's overflow prevention function is triggered. However, sometimes it's triggered in abnormal circumstances. Here are some common reasons and tips to avoid this:
Ensure the security tape on the scale is removed.
Place the cup before starting to grind (to avoid impacting the scale's judgment)
Make sure the cup isn’t touching the machine wall during brewing (to prevent sensitive weight detection)
Do not remove or replace the cup midway through brewing, as a sudden decrease in weight will pause the process.
When brewing using the app, align the actual brew method with cup type (i.e. Omni Dripper or Other drippers), so the machine adjusts the threshold and avoids overflow.
Don't add extra beans into xPods (as measurements are already precise)
We are proactively working on seeing how we can further improve the user experience on this functionality. Meanwhile, to not waste the coffee already in the dripper, please have a try at:
1. brewing recipe with skipped grind mode: quick press right-knob three times to reboot machine, connect to app, scan recipe card, edit a recipe to turn off grind mode, and proceed to brew.
or
2. brew manually: quick press right-knob three times to reboot machine, go directly into brewing module by pressing middle knob, and dispense water manually to complete brew process.
If you are still experiencing the "waiting" situation after performing the above, please contact our customer support and provide your user email, machine sn code, and a video recording of the occurrence for further investigation.
When you notice that the grind size is inaccurate, you may use the grinder calibration feature.
xBloom Studio there will be a spiral clearing mechanism before the powder is discharged, which basically does not need to be cleaned on a daily basis, but it is recommended that you regularly use the complimentary brush to sweep the powder drop opening and the bottom of the grinder for residual powder.
xBloom Studio is designed with an intelligent cleaning trigger mechanism, which will automatically perform an additional idle sweeping program after grinding is completed. This process will effectively remove the coffee bean residue inside the grinder, minimize the residual coffee powder from affecting the quality and taste of the next round of grinding.
Want to connect your xBloom to your phone AND iPad, or your partner/friend want to use the machine via app as well? While we don't have a machine "sharing" function with the xBloom Studio, however, due to the machine's easy Bluetooth connection, you simply need to disconnect from the machine, leaving it "free" to be connected by another device. Only one mobile device can actively control an xBloom Machine at a time.
Depending on the app that you are currently using, please see detailed instructions.

How to use an external water source?
The xBloom Studio features an internal pump, allowing you to choose between using the included water tank or connecting to an external water source with 1/4" OD tubing. For non-pressurized sources like a 5-gallon jug, simply attach the tube (up to 19 inches long) directly to the machine. For integration into a pressurized system from your home or filter system, we recommend purchasing our Water Inline Pressure Regulator accessory to ensure safe and seamless plumbing.
Whether from the built-in water tank or directly hooked to your water system with an external pipe, enjoy the flexibility to use it whenever and however you prefer.
