Introducing the exclusive world of espresso through the global leaders,
De’Longhi. Based in Treviso, Italy, we grew up appreciating the taste and
aroma of a good cup of coffee.
Discover the barista brewing inside you: now you can make authentic espressos,
lattes and cappuccinos to suit your taste, in the comfort of your kitchen. Enjoy!
Recommendations for producing
a better espresso:
1.
Use freshly ground espresso.
2.
Store coffee beans in a cool, dark and dry
container. Vacuum sealed if possible.
3.
Pre-heat your espresso and cappuccino cups
using the cup warmer storage on the top of
the machine.
4.
Ensure your first coffee is the ideal temperature
by pre-warming the filter / filter holder before
making coffee. Simply fit the filter / filter holder
(without coffee) into the machine and place a
cup underneath. Select the single cup option
and ‘purge’ the machine allowing hot water to
pass through the filter into the cup.
5.
Use one level scoop of freshly ground coffee
for best results. This is roughly 7 grams.
6.
Tamping the coffee is recommended to produce
an even compact bed of coffee for brewing.
7.
Tamping is important as applying too little
pressure will cause the coffee to be weak
(under extracted) and applying too much
pressure may result in thick, burnt coffee
(over extracted).
8.
Grind size can affect the brew strength. If
coffee is ground too coarse, then coffee will
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
flow too quickly and be weak (under extracted).
Coffee that is ground too fine will flow slowly
and may be thick or burnt (over extracted).
9.
Remove any residual coffee grounds from
the filter / filter holder rim before placing
into the machine for brewing.
10.
Brewing should take between 20 and 25
seconds. If your espresso is brewing outside
of this range, refer to tip #7 and adjust.
Recommendations for producing
a better cappuccino or latte:
1.
Once steam has been selected ‘purge’ the
steam nozzle/frother to eliminate any excess
water before you start frothing the milk.
2.
Always use fresh, cold milk. Some milks that do
not require refrigeration will not produce an
acceptable foam.
3.
Once you have frothed the milk tap the jug on
the counter to remove any large air bubbles
4.
‘Spin’ or swirl the milk to ensure the milk and
foam combine a little and to give it a glossy finish.
5.
Pour the milk/foam immediately after spinning/
swirling to ensure that milk and foam do
not separate.
