USING YOUR COFFEE MACHINE –
MAKING COFFEE
To achieve optimum performance from your Espresso Machine, follow this procedure.
Beware of hot surfaces around the Grouphead and Showerhead when inserting
or removing the Filter Holder. Ensure Grouphead Heat Shield is correctly fitted.
Risk of burns and scalding.
The basis of all coffee beverages is an espresso shot – a single or double shot of strong,
black coffee. Ground coffee only has a three-day shelf life, so only grind the amount of coffee
required at a time. Use a medium grind suitable for espresso machines.
Too fine
might block
the Filter,
too coarse
will result in a weak and under-extracted espresso.
When making a milk-based drink, always make the espresso before steaming or frothing the
milk to ensure optimum coffee extraction temperature.
Your appliance has an automatic shut off feature to save energy. The machine will turn off after
15 minutes of no use. There will be an audible click as the Power Switch returns to the ‘Off’
Position.
