2 Press the Espresso or Double Espresso button to start brewing (Fig. 25). To stop dispensing
before the machine is finished, press the button again.
When the On/Off button indicator flashes, the machine is in the preheating mode and brewing
cannot be started. When all button indicators are solid on, brewing can be started.
After brewing is completed, there may be steam and pump noise above the drip tray. This is
normal and indicates that the machine is depressurizing.
When the brewing pressure is too high, the machine will stop dispensing coffee to maintain the
desired coffee taste. At this time, the indicator keeps flashing. In such cases, brew coffee again.
The Espresso volume is about 40 ml and Double Espresso volume about 80 ml by default.
Brewing Americano
An Americano is made by pouring hot water from the water spout over a shot of espresso.
1 Switch on the machine and wait until it is ready for use.
2 Place the preferred filter basket into the portafilter.
3 Grind coffee beans with the machine.
4 Use the calibrated tamper to tamp the ground coffee.
5 Put the portafilter into the brewing head and align the portafilter with the "triangle" mark and
place it upward inside the brewing head (Fig. 23). Then, rotate the portafilter counterclockwise
to the center to lock it (Fig. 24).
6 Place a large cup under the spout openings of the portafilter and the hot water spout (Fig. 26).
7 Press the Americano button to start brewing.
8 After the Espresso shot has finished brewing, hot water will be poured on top from the water
spout to finish the americano.
The hot water spout may become hot. To avoid the risk of burns, let it cool down first.
Optimized brew
Pressure is an important factor for brewing espresso. The pressure gauge indicates the pressure and
helps to monitor the optimal extraction of your espresso shots.
-
The optimal range marked by the solid white line represents the best pressures for extraction.
-
The range marked by the dotted line on the left represents under-extraction.
-
The range marked by the dotted line on the right represents over-extraction.
