outlet & turn the power on.
- Press the ON/OFF BUTTON to start the
machine.
The ON/OFF LIGHT will illuminate & pulse
to indicate it is warming up.
When both the ON/OFF & READY LIGHTS
are fully illuminated, the machine is ready.

Portafilter.
- Insert the Portafilter into the Group
Head.
To ensure that the Portafilter is in the
correct position, align the Portafilter

Thermoblock Fast Heating System
The thermoblock ensures
quick heat up
,
and a precise water temperature for the
best coffee extraction, and milk frothing.
The thermoblock is fitted with a
PID controller
which continually monitors
the water temperature to ensure water is
always delivered to the coffee grinds at the
precise temperature needed.
An espresso is made with hot rather than
boiling water. The thermoblock heats the
water so that the
espresso extracts at 198°F
(just below boiling point) for optimum
extraction of oils from the coffee grinds.
Temperatures above this will burn the
grinds resulting in a bitter taste.
15 BAR Italian Pump
The thermoblock works in conjunction
with the pump to deliver the correct water
temperature at the
correct pressure
for
complete extraction of oils, coffee solids
and aroma.
The 15 BAR pump is fitted with a
pressure
relief system
, to limit the pressure to 15
bar (for protection from over-pressure).
After extraction, when the DIAL is
returned to the vertical READY position,
any remaining pressure will be released
(purged) into the Drip Tray.
Pre-Infusion
Small amounts of water are released onto
the tamped coffee grinds prior to the steady
flow of water, for a richer flavored espresso.
Italian Crema System
Dual Wall Filter Baskets create additional
back pressure creating a subtle aeration
for a great espresso extraction and
steady
pour
. They ensure a rich velvety espresso
with a signature layer of golden crema.
Dual Wall Filter Baskets are designed for
use with pre-ground grinds, however they
can also be used with freshly ground grinds.
Auto Shot Volumetric Control
Auto Shot is the easiest way to create a
great espresso. Just select 1 or 2 SHOT
on the DIAL, and it
pours just the right
amount,
then automatically stops.
Café 58mm Group Head & Portafilter
The Group Head and the Portafilter are
commercial sized
, 58mm, just like your
local café.
The larger 58mm Portafilter holds
more coffee grinds, resulting in a true café
tasting coffee. The wider size ensures the
grinds are more
evenly spread
and easier
to fill, for improved flavor extraction.
The larger 58mm Filter Baskets allow
a
more consistent grind compaction
,
resulting in a better tasting coffee, and an
easier to empty used espresso pucks.
