STEP 3 - TAMPING THE COFFEE

•Tap the Portafilter several times to distribute the coffee evenly in the Filter. Tamp down with the tamping end of the provided Measuring/Tamping Spoon.

•Wipe excess coffee from the rim of the Filter to ensure a proper seal in the Group Head is achieved.

NOTE

The heating light will flash or illuminate completely while the machine is heating or maintaining the correct temperature. During this time you may notice water and steam is automatically released into the Drip Tray. This is normal. Always ensure the heating light is not flashing or illuminated before extracting espresso.

STEP 5 - PRE-HEATING THE CUP

STEP 7 - extracting ESPRESSO

•Ensure the heating light is not flashing or illuminated before extracting espresso.

•Place pre-warmed cup(s) beneath the Portafilter.

•Turn the Selector Control to the right 'Espresso' position. A pumping noise will be heard.

•After a few seconds, aromatic coffee will start to flow.

STEP 8 – TEXTURING MILK

The espresso machine features a 360° Swivel Steam Wand with removable Froth Enhancer. The Froth Enhancer creates a large amount of froth with very little effort. If less froth is required, remove the Froth Enhancer and store it in the Storage Tray. To reattach the Froth Enhancer, ensure the steam holes on either end are clear. Slide either end onto the Steam Wand, firmly pushing upwards onto the rubber surround.

•The heating light will flash while the machine is heating. During this time you may notice some water is automatically released into the Drip Tray. This is normal. It ensures the internal thermoblock heating system is at the optimal temperature for extracting espresso. When the machine has reached the correct operating temperature, the heating light will go out.

•Before placing the Portafilter into the Group Head, run a short flow of water through the Group Head. This stabilizes the temperature prior to extraction. To do this, turn the Selector Control to the right 'Espresso' position. A pumping noise will be heard then water will flow through. After 5 seconds, turn the Selector Control back to the center 'Standby' position to stop the water flow. You may notice water and steam is automatically released into the Drip Tray. This is normal.

STEP 6 - inserting the

PORTAFILTER

•Place the Portafilter underneath the Group Head so that the handle is aligned with the INSERT position. Insert the Portafilter into the Group Head and rotate the handle towards the center until resistance is felt. This will be at an approximate 90° angle to the machine.

coffee expands resulting in greater pressure build-up to extract all the oils and fullest flavor from the ground coffee.

NOTE

If the espresso starts to drip but doesn’t flow after approximately

15 seconds, then you have either over dosed the Filter with too much coffee and/or the grind is too fine. This is an OVER EXTRACTED shot.

•When sufficient coffee has flowed, turn the Selector Control back to the center 'Standby' position.

•You may notice the heating light illuminate and water and steam automatically release into the Drip Tray. This is normal.

•There are two phases to texturing milk. The first is stretching the milk to aerate it and the second is swirling the milk to make it silky smooth. These two operations should blend into one.

•Always start with fresh cold milk. Fill the jug half way.

•Position the tip of the Steam Wand over the Drip Tray. Press the Steam button then turn the Selector Control to the left 'Steam/Hot Water' position. The heating light will flash then illuminate completely. During this time, condensed water may purge from the Steam Wand before steam starts to flow. This is normal.
