For espresso, i.e. Café Crème, fill the finely ground coffee into the corresponding filter (The marking
inside the filter basket can help you find the right amount of coffee).
Please make sure that the filter is inserted firmly into the porta filter.

spout.)

Only freshly ground coffee allows for an optimal coffee result. Therefore, use a
professional coffee grinder. In our assortment you will find several professional coffee
grinders.

We recommend to use a stainless steel tamper with a diameter of 58 mm for optimum
tamping.
6.4 Dispensing of hot water
1
Place an adequate water container (with a heat-insulated handle) under the hot water dispenser.

Press the hot water button on any of the control panels in order to release a pre-programmed amount of
hot water and the release will stop automatically. The release of hot water can be stopped ahead of time
by pressing the hot water button again.
Caution!
Place the nozzle of the dispenser into the water container in order to avoid injuries due to hot
water sprayings.
The cold water mixing valve allows for an individual adjustment of the hot water temperature (pic). It is
located at the middle part of the machine, below the drip tray.
Important
First set the cold water admixture and only then the filling quantity.
6.5 Dispensing of steam
The Barista A2/Barista A3 makes it possible to generate large amounts of steam in order to heat or froth
beverages, e. g. milk or punch. It is a professional espresso coffee machine with an enormous steam
volume. Therfore, within a few seconds you can prepare milk froth. Please pay attention to the instructions
below. Do not bring the milk to a boil, otherwise frothing milk will not be possible.
