MAKING THE ESPRESSO

EXTRACTION

Having heated the machine and filled the filter with coffee you are now ready to make your espresso.

1.Locate the filter holder (7) into the brewhead (6).

2.Ensure that the filter holder is square and well

seated in the brewhead, then rotate the handle to the right as far as possible. You will feel it locate in place.

INSERT ROTATE LOCK

IMPORTANT: Do not force it or you may damage the brewhead gasket (6). If it doesn't turn easily, try again as the filter holder may not be properly located in the brewhead.

3.Place 1 or 2 warmed cups under the nozzles of the filter holder. Make sure your cups are directly under both nozzles or your espresso will pour away into the drip tray (8).

Your Dualit machine will fit either an espresso

cup or a full-size mug under the filter holder – if you are making a long coffee you may wish to extract your espresso directly into a mug or larger cup.

4. To pour your espresso, turn the control knob (5) anticlockwise to the cup symbol. You will

hear the pump operating; this is quite normal.

NOTE: The control knob (5) may be a harder to turn when the machine is new. This will loosen with use.

5.When the coffee machine has reached the correct temperature for extraction, the orange temperature indicator light (12) will go out and the espresso will trickle out of the filter nozzles. This may take a few seconds.

6.When the cup has been filled to the desired level (about 20 – 25 seconds for an espresso) turn the control knob to the off position. Water will continue to flow for about 5 seconds after the machine is switched off.
