FILLING
1. Remove the water tank by lifting it upwards (Fig A).
2. Fill the water tank with cold, fresh water to the
max
marking (Fig. B).
3. Refit the water tank (Fig. C). Ensure it is correctly fitted and fully seated.
MAKING ESPRESSO
Espresso can be enjoyed on it’s own or used for many popular espresso based variations such as Latte, Cappucinno, Americano, etc. Your
espresso maker can make a single shot (approx. 30ml), or a double shot (60ml) of espresso.
Filling the portafilter
1. Decide whether you are making a single shot or double shot.
2. For a single shot fit the 1 shot (smaller) sieve into the portafilter; for a double fit the 2 shot (larger) sieve (Fig. D).
3. Use the measure to fill the sieve (Fig. E). For a single shot use 1 measure and for a double use 2 measures (Fig. F). The coffee in the
measure should be level and not heaped (Fig. G).
4. Lightly tamp (compress) the coffee into the portafilter using the flat end of the measure (Fig. H) until it is level. You need to compact
the coffee just enough to create resistance to the water as it passes through the coffee. Too loose and the water passes easily through
the coffee and the full flavour won’t be extracted. Too tight and it will be difficult for the water to pass through the coffee and the
flavour will be harsh and bitter.
Fitting the portafilter
1. Make sure the rim of the portafilter is free from any coffee debris. Fit it into the machine with the handle facing out to the left so that is
is aligned with the
U
mark (Fig. J).
2. Push the portafilter upwards then turn it to the right until it stops (Fig. K).
• To remove the portafilter, turn it to the left until the handle lines up with the
U
mark.
Brewing
1. Place a cup/cups on the drip tray under the outlet of the portafilter. You can make a single shot into one cup, a double shot into one
cup or a double shot shared between two cups by placing two cups side by side under the outlet and preparing the portafilter with
the 2 cup sieve.
2. Make sure that the steam control is set to the off ( A ) position.
3. Switch the unit on by moving the control to the on ( F ) position.
4. The unit will start to heat up. The status gauge pointer will move to the preheat ( C ) position and the light will slowly pulse on and off.
5. Once the unit has heated up the pointer will move to the ready ( B ) position and the light will remain on.
6. Move the control to the brew ( G ) position. Your coffee maker will pump a small amount of water into the filter before pausing for a few
seconds. This pre-infusion step ensures that the maximum flavour is extracted from the coffee.
7. After pre-infusion (approx. 5 seconds), coffee will start to come out of the portafilter.
IMPORTANT: Do not leave the machine
unattended while brewing. The machine will continue to dispense coffee for up to 60 seconds. It is up to you to manually stop
the machine once sufficent coffee has been made (typically, this is 30 ml for a single shot, 60 ml for a double)
. To stop brewing,
move the control from the brewing ( G ) position to the on ( F ) or off ( A ) position.
8. When you have finished, move the control to the off ( A ) position.
STEAM/HOT WATER FUNCTIONS
The steam/hot water functions can be used to heat milk, froth milk and heat drinks that have cooled.
Steaming milk
1. Move the control to the steam position ( D ). The gauge will move to the preheat ( C ) position as the unit heats up. Once the
temperature is correct, the gauge will move to the ( D ) position.
2. Fill a small jug with milk.
3. Hold the jug under the steam nozzle with the nozzle beneath the surface of the milk.
4. Turn the steam/hot water control counterclockwise. The further counterclockwise you turn the control, the more steam is produced.
5. When the milk is heated to your satisfaction, turn the steam/hot water control clockwise to the off ( A ) position.
6. Clean the steam nozzle.
Frothing milk
1. Follow steps 1 and 2 under ‘Steaming milk’. Use cold milk from the refridgerator for best results.
2. Hold the jug under the nozzle as above and open the steam/hot water control as desired.
3. To make frothy milk with large bubbles, hold the nozzle just under the surface of the milk and make circular motions with the jug as
steam is released (Fig. L).
4. To make frothy milk with small bubbles (micro foam), hold the nozzle fully under the surface of the milk and make circular motions with
the jug as steam is released (Fig. M).
5. Turn the steam/hot water control clockwise to the off (
A
) position when you are finished.
6. Clean the steam nozzle.
