COFFEE MAKING TIPS & PREPARATION
The flavour of your coffee will depend on
many factors, such as the type of coffee
beans, degree of roast, freshness, coarseness
or fineness of the grind, dose of ground coffee
and tamping pressure.
Experiment by adjusting these factors
just one at a time to achieve the taste
of your preference.
TEXTURING MILK
•
Always start with fresh cold milk.
•
Fill the jug just below the “V” at the
bottom of the spout.
•
Position the steam tip above the drip
tray and lift the steam lever to purge the
steam wand of any condensed water.
•
Insert the steam tip 1-2cm below
the surface of the milk close to the
right hand side of the jug at the
3 o’clock position.
•
Lift the steam lever.
•
Keep the tip just under the surface of the
milk until the milk is spinning clockwise,
producing a vortex (whirlpool effect).
•
With the milk spinning, slowly lower the
jug. This will bring the steam tip to the
surface of the milk & start to introduce
air into the milk. You may have to gently
break the surface of the milk with the tip
to get the milk spinning fast enough.

EXTRACTION GUIDE
•
Keep the tip at or slightly below the
surface, continuing to maintain the
vortex. Texture the milk until sufficient
volume is obtained.
•
Lift the handle of the jug to lower the tip
beneath the surface, but keep the vortex
of milk spinning. The milk is at the
correct temperature (60-65°C) when the
jug is hot to touch.
•
Move the steam lever to the CLOSED
position BEFORE taking the tip out of
the milk.
•
Set the jug to one side, lift the steam
lever to purge out any residual milk
from the steam wand and wipe steam
wand with a damp cloth.
•
Tap the jug on the bench to collapse
any bubbles.
•
Swirl the jug to “polish” and re-integrate
the texture.
•
Pour milk directly into the espresso.
•
The key is to work quickly, before the
milk begins to separate and the crema
dissipates.
HINTS & TIPS
•
Always use freshly ground coffee
for a superior flavour and body.
•
Use freshly roasted coffee beans,
with a roasted-on date and use within
2 weeks of roasted-on date.
•
Store coffee beans in a cool,
dark and dry container. Vacuum
seal if possible.
•
Buy coffee beans in small batches
to reduce the storage time and store
no more than one week’s supply at
any time.
•
Grind beans immediately before
brewing as ground coffee quickly
loses its flavour and aroma.
