A LIFETIME OF EXPERIMENTATION (continued)

STEP 6 - INSERTING THE PORTAFILTER

STEP 7 – EXTRACTING THE ESPRESSO

PRE-PROGRAMMED DOSE – ONE CUP

Place the portafilter underneath the group head so that the handle is aligned with the insert graphic.

Insert the portafilter up into the group head and rotate the handle to the right until resistance is felt, this will be at an approximate 90° angle to the machine.

Ensure all the button surrounds on the control panel are illuminated, indicating the machine has reached the correct temperature for brewing, and is ready for use.

Ensure the drip tray and portafilter are in place.

Place one or two pre-warmed cups beneath the portafilter outlet.

NOTE: PRE-BREW FUNCTION When a single or double coffee is selected, the machine will pump water momentarily, followed by a pause then continues to pump the water through to the ground coffee in the portafilter. The ground coffee is moistened by a small amount of water before full extraction then expands resulting in greater pressure build-up to extract all the oils and full flavour from the ground coffee.

Press the one cup button once. A preset dose of approximately 30mls will be delivered. A pumping noise will be heard in this operation. The machine will automatically stop once the preset pour has been delivered.

NOTE: The amount of espresso extracted in the cup will vary depending on your grind and dose amounts.

NOTE: When using a 1 cup filter, for optimal flavour, you should only extract approximately 30ml. When using a 2 cup filter, for optimal flavour, you should only extract approximately 60ml.
