12.Check the espresso pour. The ideal pour is dark and caramel with reddish reflections. The pour should hang vertically on each spout and resist like dripping honey.

13. Serve espresso immediately.

Caring for your Espresso Machine

14.Remove the filter handle from the group head (25).

15.Discard the used coffee grinds from the filter basket (26).

Tip: After each use of the espresso machine we recommend that a small amount of water is cycled through the group head as this will wash out any old or used coffee grinds stuck to the underside of the group head. Simply press the ‘MANUAL’ button and allow some water to run through.

Sleep Mode

After 1 hour of non-use the espresso machine will automatically switch to ‘SLEEP MODE’. An indication that the machine is in ‘SLEEP MODE’ is the light above the ‘POWER’ button will slowly flash red. After a further

26hours of non-use the espresso machine will turn off.
