MAKING THE ESPRESSO

EXTRACTION

Don't try to extract more than an espresso shot of coffee (about 44 ml) or the flavour will rapidly

deteriorate until only brown water is produced.

7.A good espresso will have 2–3mm of light brown or cream foam (crema) on top. If you have no crema or only a thin crema, please refer to the barista training on page 8 or the troubleshooting section on page 28.

8.Remove the cups and serve while hot.

BARISTA TIP: If you often make several espressos in one session, invest in a table-top 'knocking block' so that you can empty and refill the filter more quickly and easily.

Having produced your espresso, you may now want to top it up with either hot water (Americano) or frothed milk (cappuccino or latté).

N.B. It is quite normal for the orange temperature indicator light to be on during this process as it is heating water as it uses it. Keep the steam wand well inside the cup so that the hot water doesn't splash you.

ADDING WATER OR MILK GB

HOT WATER FOR AN AMERICANO

2.Remove the froth nozzle (16) from the steam wand, swing the wand out from the side of the machine and put it inside your cup or teapot.

3.Flick the steam/water

select or (13) to the water setting.

4. Wait for the temperature

light (12) to go out.
