Extracting an Espresso
STEP 1 – FILLING THE WATER TANK
• Ensurethecharcoalwaterfilterissecurelyfittedinsidethetank.Referto›CareandClea-
ning‹, ›Installing the Filter in the Water Tank‹
• Fillthewatertankwithcoldtapwatertothemaximummarkonthesideofthetankand
slide the water tank carefully back into position at the back of the machine.
• Plugthepowercordintoapoweroutlet.
• PressthePOWERbuttonto›on‹,thePOWERbuttonsurroundwillflashwhilethemachine
is heating. When the correct temperature has been reached, all the button surrounds on the
control panel will illuminate.
STEP 2 - PRE-WARMING THE CUPS
This will help maintain the espresso’s optimal temperature when brewed into the cups.
• Thecupwarmingplatewillstarttowarmasthemachineheats.
• Runhotwaterfromthegroupheadwithouttheportafilter inserted by holding down the
-button on the front, right hand side of the machine, then place the cups on the warming tray.
Note: Check the water level before use and replace the water daily. The water tank should
be refilled with fresh, cold tap water before each use. Do not use mineral or distilled water
oranyotherliquid.
STEP 3 – PREPARING THE SINGLE WALL FILTER
• PlacethesingleordoubleshotSingleWallFilterintotheportafilter.
When brewing into a larger mug, always use the double shot filter and
onlyextract2oz.Ifyourequirealargerserving,addthehotwaterfirst
andthenextracttheespresso.
• Preheattheportafilter by placing underneath the group head. Rinse with hot water from
the group head by holding down the double shot button on the front, right hand side of the
machine. Dry the portafilter thoroughly before use.
Unlike the Dual Wall Filters, the Single Wall Filters have no markings on the underside of
the filter.
• Placetheportafilter into the grinding cradle
• PresstheFILTERSIZEbuttonaccordingtothefiltersize(singleshotordoubleshot)you
select.
STEP 4 – ADJUSTING THE GRIND SIZE
• Whensettingthegrindsizeitshouldbefinebutnottoofineorpow-
dery. The grind will effect the rate at which the water flows through the
ground espresso in the filter and therefore the taste of the espresso.
• Ifthegrindistoofine(lookslikepowderandfeelslikeflourwhen
rubbed between fingers), the water will not flow through the ground
espresso even when under pressure. The resulting espresso will be over
extracted,toodarkandbitter,withamottledandunevencremaontop.
• Ifthegrindistoocoarsethewaterwillflowthroughthegroundespressotooquickly.Thiswill
resultinanunder-extractedespressolackinginflavorandwithoutthethickcremaonthetop.
STEP 5 – ADJUSTING THE GRIND AMOUNT
• WhengrindingforaSingleWallFilterusingafinerespressogrind,
you will need to increase the grind amount to ensure the filter is correct-
ly filled.
• Toincreasethegrindamount,turntheGRINDAMOUNTdialbeyond
the DUAL WALL setting to obtain the correct amount of ground espresso.
Note: You may need to try step 4 and 5 a few times, slightly adjusting
the GRIND SIZE and GRIND AMOUNT dials each time until you reach your desired com-
bination.
STEP 6 – GRINDING THE BEANS
• Fillthehopperwithfreshcoffeebeans.
• Ensuretheportafilter is inserted into the grinding cradle.
• Ensure the FILTERSIZEbuttonreflectsthefiltersizeinsertedinthe
portafilter.
• ForAutoStartandStopGrinding-pushtheportafilter in once to
activate the grinding switch, then allow the portafilter to be filled with
fresh ground espresso.
Note: To stop the auto grinding midway through a grinding cycle, push the portafilter in
once, or press the FILTER SIZE button.
• Formanualgrinding-pushandholdtheportafilter in until the desired amount of ground
espresso has been delivered.
