COFFEE MAKING TIPS & PREPARATION
COFFEE MAKING TIPS & PREPARATION
PRE-HEATING
Heating your cup or glass
A warm cup will help maintain the coff ee’s
optimal temperature. Pre-heat your cup by
rinsing with hot water and place on the cup
warming tray.
Using the hot water outlet
Turn the Steam/Hot Water dial to the Hot
Water position. The Steam/Hot Water LED on
the front panel will begin to fl ash indicating
the Hot Water function has been selected &
the Thermo-coil is increasing in temperature.
Hot Water will be dispensed from the Hot
Water spout. Turn the dial back to STANDBY
to stop the fl ow of Hot Water
Heating the portafi lter and fi lter basket
A cold portafi lter and fi lter basket can
reduce the extraction temperature enough
to signifi cantly aff ect the quality of your
espresso. Ensure the portafi lter and fi lter
basket are preheated with hot water before
initial use.
NOTE
Wipe the fi lter and fi lter holder dry
before dosing with ground coff ee as
moisture can encourage ‘channeling’
where water by-passes the ground
coff ee during extraction.
SINGLE WALL FILTERS
Single Wall fi lters (1 & 2 CUP) are designed to
be used with freshly ground coff ee and allow
you to experiment with grind and dose, to
create a more balanced espresso.
THE GRIND
When grinding coff ee beans, the grind size
should be fi ne but not too fi ne. The grind size
will aff ect the rate at which the water fl ows
through the ground coff ee in the fi lter basket
and the taste of the espresso.
If the grind is too fi ne (looks like powder
and feels like fl our when rubbed between
fi ngers), the water will not fl ow through the
coff ee when under pressure. The resulting
espresso will be OVER EXTRACTED, dark
in colour and bitter in fl avour If the grind
is too coarse the water will fl ow through
the ground coff ee in the fi lter basket too
quickly. The resulting espresso will be UNDER
EXTRACTED lacking in colour and fl avour.
