Page 17

Guide to the perfect espresso

Before starting to prepare for making espresso, ensure the espresso machine is in espresso/hot water mode, so the red light on the power button and the orange light on the button are illuminated.

Note: Should the espresso machine not be in espresso/hot water mode so the orange light on the button is not on, the coffee maker needs to press the button to activate the espresso/hot water mode.

Preheat Glasses

1.Preheat the glasses/cups by filling them with hot water as this will assist to preserve the crema of the espresso. Set the glasses/ cups aside.

Preheat Filter Handle and Filter Basket

2.Select the appropriate filter basket and place it into filter handle (14).

Tip: Use the one cup filter basket for a single serve of espresso and the two cup filter basket for a double serve of espresso.

3.Take the filter handle, hold it under the group head and purge water. With the filter basket positioned under the group head turn the operating dial anticlockwise to the espresso setting to start the water flow and turn it back to the off position to stop (15).

4.Dry the filter basket.

Dosing and Tamping

5.Using the measuring spoon supplied, place finely ground coffee into the filter basket (16).

6.Rest the filter handle with the filter basket in position onto the benchtop. Take the coffee tamp, apply firm level packing pressure (17), twisting 90 degrees to polish the grounds. This seals the surface of the coffee cake.

7.Brush any excess coffee grounds from around the edge of the filter basket (18).

Important: Be sure not to over dose the filter basket with coffee.

Tip: The coffee dosage and the degree of tamping should remain the same every time you make a coffee the only thing that should vary is the coarseness of the coffee grounds and this will vary depending on the bean. For example to achieve a slower espresso pour rate use a finer grind and a coarser grind for a faster espresso pour rate.

Tip: Ensure the coffee tamp is dry because if it is wet the coffee grinds will stick to it.

The Espresso Pour

8.Lock the filter handle onto the group head (19)(20).

9.Empty the glasses/cups and place below the pouring spouts (21).

Note: Check to see that the espresso machine is ready for use, remember that if 'READY' is not displayed on the LCD the espresso machine is adjusting the temperature of the heating system.

10.Turn the operating dial anticlockwise to the espresso setting to start the pour and turn it back to the off position to stop (22).

11.Check the espresso pour. The ideal pour is dark and caramel with reddish reflections.

12.Serve espresso immediately.

Caring for your Espresso Machine

13.Remove the filter handle from the group head (23).

14.Discard the used coffee grinds from the filter basket (24).
