S1 Dream-T Espresso Machine
Owner’s Manual

In full power mode the machine is able to heat both boilers at the same time. This is helpful if
you want to be able to pull a shot and steam milk at the same time.
When full power mode is turned off then it is only able to heat one boiler at a time and will
always give priority to the coffee boiler. In this mode it is recommended to pull a shot and
steam milk separately or the machine may lose steam pressure if done at the same time.
Warning:
Using the machine in full power mode in a 15 amp outlet should never be done.
Failure to follow this warning could pose a fire hazard and is not recommended.
Offset
The temperature drop between the boiler and grouphead. Should be set to 10°F/5°C for
all versions previous to 1.19. From firmware version 1.19 and later it should be set to 0°F/0°C.
PID
The settings used to determine how power is applied to the coffee heater. These settings
should not be changed or it will affect the performance and temperature stability of the
machine. The PID settings should be programmed as follows.
P
- 300
I
- 100
D
- 10000
Reset
Resets the EEPROM chip on the control board. For firmware version 1.14 or later the
following procedure must be done before using the machine after a reset.

also be done if the control board is replaced.
Note: In version 1.19 the Factory menu has been removed and the features can be accessed
without a password. The reset feature has also been removed.
Brewing Espresso
First let me begin by explaining the three main variables of preparing great espresso.
1. Quantity of ground coffee
2. Tamping
3. The grind

Loosely fill the basket slightly mounding over the top. Then
lightly run your finger arched across the basket from left to right, right to left, front to back,
and then lay your finger flat on the basket and go from back to front to remove any excess
coffee. This technique helps fill any voids in the basket to help achieve an even extraction.
