Under Extracted Zone
The gauge needle, when positioned in the
lower zone during extraction, indicates the
espresso has been extracted with insufficient
pressure.
This occurs when the water flow through the
ground coffee is too fast and results in an
under extracted espresso that is watery and
lacks crema and flavour.
Causes for under extraction include the grind
being too coarse and/or insufficient coffee in
the filter basket and/or under tamping.
Over Extracted Zone
The gauge needle, when positioned in the
upper zone during extraction, indicates the
espresso has been extracted with too much
pressure.
This occurs when the water flow through the
ground coffee is too slow and results in an over
extracted espresso that is very dark and bitter
with a mottled and uneven crema.
Causes for over extraction include the grind
being too fine and/or too much ground coffee
in the filter basket and/or over tamping.
USING THE STEAM/HOT WATER DIAL
Steam
• Position the steam wand tip over the drip tray.
• Turn the STEAM/HOT WATER dial to the
STEAM position. The STEAM/HOT WATER
light will flash to indicate the machine is
heating to create steam. During this time,
condensed water may purge from the steam
wand. This is normal.
NOTE
When the machine creates steam, a pumping
noise can be heard. This is the normal
operation of the 15 bar Italian pump.
• When the STEAM/HOT WATER light stops
flashing the steam wand is ready for use.
• Before inserting the wand into the milk,
pause the steam by returning the dial back
to the STANDBY position. Then within
8 seconds, insert the steam wand tip (1–2cm)
below the surface of the milk, close to the
right hand side of the jug at the 3 o’clock
position and quickly turn the dial back to the
STEAM position. Pausing the steam avoids
the milk splashing out of the jug (this pause
function lasts for 8 seconds only).
• Once the milk is at the correct temperature
(60–65°C) and the jug is hot to touch, return
the dial to the STANDBY position BEFORE
removing the jug.
For more tips on milk texturing, refer to
‘Texturing Milk’, page 23.
NOTE
After 5 minutes of continuous steaming, the
machine will automatically disable the steam
function. The STEAM/HOT WATER light will
flash. When this occurs return the dial to the
STANDBY position.
