OPERATING

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.

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.

OR

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.

WARNING

The metal parts of the portafilter will be very hot.

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.
