Sunbeam EM8910 manual Setting the number of cups and dispensing coffee

Making an espresso with beans (continued)

Setting the number of cups and dispensing coffee

•Place one or two cups under the espresso pour spouts. The height of the pour spouts can be adjusted to suit the height of your cup to reduce heat loss and espresso splashes. Simply slide the espresso pour spouts up or down. See figure 17.

•Press the button once or twice in order to select 1 or 2 cups. See figure 18. LCD: Indicates <<1 CUP>> or

<<2 CUPS>>.

•Press the "OK" button.

•The espresso is now made.

Note: In the coffee making process, the ground coffee is dampened by a small amount of water. Known as pre-infusion, this helps in achieving maximum extraction of oils from the coffee grinds. Following

a short pause, the actual brewing process commences.

Note: You may stop the pour of coffee at any

time by briefly pressing the "OK" button. LCD: Indicates

<<CANCELLED PLEASE WAIT>>.

Note: If you have not dispensed coffee for a long period of time with the espresso machine switched on, you should rinse the brewing system before dispensing again. Start the rinsing process by pressing the "RINSE" button See figure 19.

LCD: Indicates

<<RINSING PLEASE WAIT>>.

With this additional rinsing phase the brewing unit is brought back to the initial operating temperature.
