BREWING ESPRESSO

For the finest results when brewing espresso, see “Techniques of a Barista” on page 28.

1.Make certain the water reservoir has an adequate supply of water (the water level should be between the “max” and “min” fill lines).

2.Select the small or large capacity filter basket. Use the small capacity basket for a single shot of espresso (1 oz [30 ml]), and the large capacity basket for a double shot (2 oz [60 ml]). The small capacity basket can be used with paper coffee pods.

3.Press the filter basket into the portafilter until it snaps into place. Do not fill the portafilter with coffee at this time.

4.Position the portafilter underneath the brew head and align the portafilter handle with the arrow located on the left side of brew group housing. Raise the portafilter into the brew head and tighten it with a firm twist to the right. When in place, the portafilter handle will point forward or slightly to the right.
