OPERATING

Resetting Default Volumes

To reset the machine to the default 1 CUP and 2 CUP shot volumes, press and hold the PROGRAM button until the machine beeps three times. Release the PROGRAM button. The machine will return to its original default volume settings and default espresso water temperature (see ‘Advanced Temperature Mode’, page 19).

NOTE

Default settings: 1 CUP shot volume is approx. 1oz / 30ml. 2 CUP shot volume is approx. 2oz / 60ml.

Manual Shot Volume

Manually control low pressure pre-infusion time and shot volume without re-programming the preset shot volume.

Press and hold the 1 CUP or 2 CUP button. The extraction will enter low pressure pre-infusion until the button is released. When the 1 CUP or 2 CUP button is released, extraction will continue at full pressure. Press the 1 CUP or 2 CUP button again once the desired volume of espresso has been extracted.

PROGRAM

PRESS & HOLD

NOTE

For optimal flavor when using a

1 CUP filter basket, you should extract approx. 1oz / 30ml. When using a

2 CUP filter basket, you should extract approx. 2oz / 60ml.

Espresso Pressure Gauge

Low Pressure Pre-Infusion

The gauge needle will be positioned in the pre-infusion zone at the start of the extraction indicating the machine is in low pressure pre-infusion mode.

The low pressure pre-infusion gradually increases water pressure to gently expand grinds for an even extraction before increasing to full pressure.

Ideal Espresso Zone

The gauge needle, when positioned anywhere within the solid grey zone during extraction, indicates the espresso has been extracted at the ideal pressure.

OPERATING

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 flavor.

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 ¼–¾” (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 (140–149°F or 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.
