Manual and Automatic Modes
There are two modes used for the brew cycle, Manual, and Automatic. Current mode is shown
in the upper left corner of the display in the upper data window. “MANUAL” = Manual, “AUTO”
= Automatic. The mode is set in the MENU function.
Manual Mode
This mode gives the barista complete control over the brew cycle. Once a portafilter is inserted
and ready for use the user may initiate the brew cycle by starting Pre-Infusion or go directly to
Brew. In the brew cycle pressing the actuator for the phase that is running, (Slow Blink), will
stop the brew cycle, pressing the other actuator, (Steady Dim), will change to that phase.
For example: User starts the Pre-Infusion phase and after the desired time has elapsed starts
the Brew phase. Pressing the Brew actuator will finish the cycle, pressing the Pre-Infusion
actuator will change the brew cycle to the low pressure Pre-Infusion phase.
Note: When Brew phase is started the elapsed time will continue to count up in the Brew phase
window of the display.
Automatic Mode
Automatic settings are shown in the lower data window when idle, A1 and A2. Settings are
shown on three lines:
AUTO 1: 10/300 [Auto 1, 10 second Pre-infusion, 300 Pulse Brew]
AUTO 2: BEST/350 [Auto 2, BEST Pre-infusion, 350 Pulse Brew]
Pre-infusion options
OFF: No Pre-infusion goes directly to Brew.
BEST: Machine determines the optimal puck saturation and starts Brew.
TIME: Sets seconds for Pre-infusion to run. Can go up to 6 minutes to accommodate
pour over shots.
Brew options
0 (Zero): No Brew. Used mostly when Pre-infusion is for pour overs.
PULSES: Runs Brew using the amount of Pulses entered.
Pressing the Pre-Infusion actuator will start AUTO 1, pressing the Brew actuator will start AUTO
2. When started the cycle will run for the pre-set time and stop. The program will be shown in
the upper data window when running, “AUTO:1”, or “AUTO:2” The cycle may be stopped
anytime by pressing the current phase actuator. For example, if in the Pre-Infusion phase,
pressing the Pre-Infusion actuator will cancel the cycle.
