Freshly grind your beans using setting 3-5 on the Dualit coffee grinder or use a pre-ground coffee suitable for espresso machines.

Select the appropriate sized cup filter (16-17) depending on whether you are making one espresso, a double or two singles. Make sure it’s dry.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Some very small coffee grounds can block the cup filters. To prolong the life of your machine use the enclosed filter papers with each serving.

Align the filter holder (5) with the open lock symbol, insert, then rotate 450 to the closed lock symbol.

Place 1 or 2 warmed cups or a mug under the nozzles of the filter holder. Make sure your cups are directly under both nozzles.

To extract your espresso, turn the control knob (3) anti-clockwise to the cup symbol. You will hear the pump operating.

Using the measuring spoon (18), measure out one level spoon per serving into the cup filter. Use 2 level spoons if using the 2 cup filter.

With the other end of the measuring spoon, ‘tamp’ the coffee grounds LIghTLY. Tamping too hard, will stop water flowing through the ground coffee.

Wipe the edge of the cup filter clean. If you don’t, a water tight seal will not form and water or coffee will leak from the brewhead (4).

The espresso will flow out of the filter nozzles. This may take a few seconds. The temperature light (11) may cycle on / off; this is normal.

When the cup has been filled to the desired level (about 15-20 seconds for an espresso) turn the control knob to the ‘off’ position.
