Programming your espresso machine
The Espresso Vita has programming capabilities. Based on café settings the ‘SINGLE’ and ‘DOUBLE’ espresso functions are set at 30 and 60mls. However by following a few simple steps the coffee maker can personalise the espresso machine to achieve a serve of espresso to exactly how they like it.
Programming Single Espresso
1.To start programming the espresso machine needs to be in ‘STAND BY MODE’. So the machine is plugged in and switched on at the power point, but the machine itself is not powered on.
2.Prepare the filter handle. Fit the group handle with the single filter basket (12) and fill with finely ground coffee (14).
Using the coffee tamp supplied, tamp the coffee grinds (15). Secure the group handle to the group head (17)(18).
3.Place a cup under both pouring spouts (19).
4.To commence programming press and hold down both the ‘SINGLE’ and ‘DOUBLE’ espresso buttons while still holding down these buttons briefly press the ‘POWER’ button and release all buttons. The lights around the coffee buttons will start to slowly flash, dimming up and down.
5.Press the ‘SINGLE’ espresso button once to start the espresso pour.
6.Allow the espresso to pour until the desired level. Once the desired level is reached stop the espresso pour by pressing the ‘SINGLE’ espresso button. A long beep will signify that the new setting for the ‘SINGLE’ espresso operation has been programmed and stored into the machines memory.
7.The espresso machine will then go into ‘READY MODE’ and is ready to make espresso at the push of a button.
