COFFEE MAKING TIPS

& PREPARATION

PRE-HEATING

Heating your cup or glass

A warm cup will help maintain the coffee’s optimal temperature. Pre-heat your cup by rinsing with hot water from the hot water outlet and place on the cup warming tray.

Heating the portafilter and filter basket

A cold portafilter and filter basket can reduce the extraction temperature enough to significantly affect the quality of your espresso. Always ensure the portafilter and filter basket are pre-heated with hot water from the hot water outlet before initial use.

NOTE

Always wipe the filter basket and portafilter dry before dosing with ground coffee as moisture can encourage ‘channeling’ where water by-passes the ground coffee during extraction.

THE GRIND

When grinding coffee beans for espresso, the grind size should be fine but not too fine. The grind size will affect the rate at which the water flows through the ground coffee in the filter basket and the taste of the espresso.

If the grind is too fine (looks like powder and feels like flour when rubbed between fingers), the water will not flow through the coffee even when under pressure. The resulting espresso will be OVER-EXTRACTED, dark in color and bitter in flavor.

If the grind is too coarse the water will flow through the ground coffee in the filter basket too quickly. The resulting espresso will be UNDER-EXTRACTED, lacking in color and flavor.

Automatic Grinding,

Dosing & Tamping

•Ensure hopper is filled with fresh coffee beans. We recommend quality 100% Arabica beans with a 'Roasted On' date stamped on the bag, not a 'Best Before' or 'Use By' date. Coffee beans are best consumed between 5–20 days after the 'Roasted On' date. Stale coffee may pour too quickly from the portafilter spouts and taste bitter and watery. Never put pre-ground coffee in the hopper.

•Align portafilter handle with the INSERT position on the grind outlet. Lift to insert portafilter into the grind outlet and rotate to the center position.
