6.MAKING COFFEE
Wipe off excess coffee
grounds from the rim of the
filter basket.
Fit the coffee handle securely
into group head
– to ensure
it does not release during
coffee extraction. Make sure
the coffee handle is properly
locked into position by moving
it to the
right
to give a tight fit.
Otherwise the handle can
twist and release during coffee
extraction.
Place coffee cup(s) onto drip
tray.
Place one hand on the base
of the machine to secure it.
Hold the lever with the other
hand, keeping your elbow
above the lever.
Push the lever down in a single
motion while standing over
the machine and keeping your
elbow above the lever at all
times.
You’ll hear and feel
water entering the group head
chamber.
Hold the lever in this position
until coffee begins to drip
through.
Release the lever which will
slowly return to the upright
position.
For more coffee, pull the lever
down once more. Wait for
coffee to drip and release
lever. The second extraction of
coffee will flow more quickly.
When the lever is
fully
raised,
remove the coffee handle by
slowly and carefully pulling it
horizontally to the left until a
pressure releasing hiss is
heard. Allow the pressure to
slowly release to avoid splat-
tering the coffee grounds.

7.FROTHING OR HEATING MILK
Purge the steam wand of con-
densation by releasing steam
into a container.
Fill a stainless steel jug with
the required amount of milk.
Avoid filling jug much more
than half way.
Immerse the tip of the steam
wand into the centre of the
jug, just below the surface of
the milk.
Turn on the steam tap until you
hear a soft “psst-psst” sound,
which indicates the milk is
being frothed. As the milk level
rises, lower the jug to ensure
the wand stays just under the
surface of the milk to maintain
the “psst-psst” sound.

You can froth or heat milk while
coffee is being extracted.
To do this:
When the milk is sufficiently
frothed, lower the steam wand
into the milk to heat it.
Move the wand around the
milk to ensure even heating.
Do not boil the milk!
Correct temperature can be
judged by holding your hand
against the jug. When the
temperature is too hot to the
touch, wait four seconds or so,
then turn off the steam.
Remove the jug and immedi-
ately release a small amount
of steam into a container to
flush any milk deposits from
the tip of the wand. Otherwise,
the milk will dry, possibly
blocking the wand and caus-
ing a health hazard. Also wipe
the steam wand with a clean
damp cloth to remove any milk
before it dries.

Refilling the boiler
When the boiler level is less
than a quarter full, turn off the
machine. Then open the steam
tap and allow
all
the boiler
steam to release into a jug or
suitable container.
Remove the boiler cover. Use a
cloth, as the cover will be hot.
Carefully undo the boiler plug
(it could be hot!), and refill the
boiler. Replace the boiler plug
and boiler cover and turn on
the machine. It should be
ready to make coffee in
around five minutes.
