reached operating temperature. The flashing boiler light signifies the heat of the steam boiler,
the boiler light will flash until it has reached operating temperature as well.
When the machine is in standard operating mode the top right button draws water through the
steam tap. Tapping it once toggles the steam tap on and will continue to draw water until
toggled off. The hot water tap will only draw water once the steam boiler has begun building
pressure.
Holding down the boiler button for five seconds will turn off the steam boiler, turning its light off.
Holding the boiler button down for five seconds while it is off will turn the steam boiler back on
and turn the boiler light on.
The one cup and two cup buttons on the left side of the control panel are for brewing espresso.
They are both preset to dose about 1.5 ounces of espresso. If your first few attempts at pulling a
shot seem very far off in terms of the amount of espresso coming out before the machine stops,
see the programming mode below on how to program volumetric dosing.
At this point your machine is set up and ready for use. Now you’ll get to dial in your grinder and
begin pulling shots. Your grinder should come with a user manual, describing how to adjust the
grind coarser and finer to get your espresso dialled in for the shot desired.

EXTRA FEATURES
Programming mode:
When the machine is in standard operating mode holding down the power button for five
seconds, this will make the power light flash as well as the 95 light. To leave programming
mode tap the power button one more time and it will stop flashing and return to normal
operation. From programming mode you can adjust multiple functions on the machine.
Tapping the hot water button in programming mode will bring the machine up one degree
Celsius until it comes back down. The “95” preset is closer to 94 degrees Celsius. So
illuminating the “100” light will set the brew boiler at 95 degrees Celsius, 105 at 96 degrees, etc.
Tapping the one cup or two cup button will begin to change the volumetric dose set for the
button pressed. In order to accurately change the volumetric dose you will need a portafilter with
coffee needs to be in the group head to slow down the flow of water so the machine can
accurately read how much water is desired per dose. Once you have the desired amount of
espresso tap the button you are currently programming again to stop the shot and save the new
volumetric dose. If you attempt to change the volumetric dose without a portafilter with a puck in
place you will not get accurate dosing results.
