Sincreative CM5700 User Manual

Tap the filter holder several times to collapse and distribute the coee grounds evenly in the filter.
Tamp down firmly using approx. 11-22lbs (5-10kg) of pressure.
The amount of pressure is not as important as ensuring that
consistent pressure is applied.
As a guide to using the right amount of coee grounds, the top edge of the metal cap on the tamper
should be level with the top of the filter after the coee has been tamped.

This can happen when the water flow through the ground coee is too fast,
resulting in an under extracted espresso that is watery and lacks crema and
flavor. Possible causes for under extraction include: the grind being too
coarse, insucient coee in the filter, insucient tamping, or a combination
of any of these.
To resolve this:
01. Select a finer grind setting and retry.
02. Increase the amount of coee grounds and retry.
03. Increase the tamping pressure and retry.

Making espresso
While the machine is making espresso, a pumping noise can be heard.
This is normal operation of the 20 bar Italian pump.
Note:
The amount of espresso extracted into the cup will vary depending on your grind
size, amount of coee used, and tamping pressure.
Note:
Tamping the coee grounds
Ensure the steam volume regulator is switched to the OFF position before making espresso.
Press the 1 CUP button to make a single espresso or the 2 CUP button
to make a double espresso.
SINGLE
DOUBLE
Volume of 1 CUP espresso: approx. 1-1.5oz (30-50ml)
Volume of 2 CUP espresso: approx. 2-2.5oz (55-85ml)

Grinding the coee beans
To stop grinding, release the filter holder. This will release
the grinding activation switch and stop the grinding func-
tion.
Insert the filter holder into the bracket, push and hold the filter
holder to engage the grinding activation switch.
Continue holding until the desired amount of ground coee has
been dosed.
Selecting the filter size
We recommend the grinding amount as below:
11-13 g for a single espresso
18-21 g for a double espresso
SINGLE
DOUBLE
We do not recommend that you select grind levels 1-3 initially. They are
too fine when the machine is new and will become more suitable with
prolonged use of the machine.
2 CUP1 CUP
Insert either the 1 CUP size filter or 2 CUP size filter into the filter holder. Select the 1 CUP size filter if
you want to make a single espresso and 2 CUP size filter if you want to make a double.
You may need to experiment with how much coee is inserted into the filter basket or
how long the grinder needs to run to achieve the correct dose.
Note:
Before first use, please carry out the initial operation procedure as per the operating instructions (see
“Prior to initial use” section for full details). This guide does not replace the description in the operating
instructions. Before you start, read and follow the “safety” chapter and observe the “Appliance parts”
chapter. The user manual also contain further tips about correct handling, cleaning and descaling, as
well as a “Faults and rectification” section.
Setting the grind size
Pre-heating
Before brewing espresso each time, we recommend rinsing through the brewing unit once with hot
water, together with the filter holder and the respective filter, and pre-heating the cup(s).
01. Press the ON/OFF button and let the machine heat up.
02. Place the espresso cup(s) under the filter holder and press the button of single espresso.
03. Carefully pour out the remaining water in the filter and wipe the filter dry.

The grind size will aect the rate of water flow through the coee in the filter basket and the flavor of the
espresso. When setting the grind size, it should be fine, but not too fine.
The grind size selector has 15 grind settings. The smaller the number, the
finer the grind size; the larger the number, the coarser the grind size.
We recommend you start at setting 8-10 and adjust as required.
Dierent espresso beans will most likely require dierent settings.
We also recommend the grinding time as below:
The grinding time for dierent settings
Type of Espresso Filter
Single Espresso Filter
Double Espresso Filter
Grinder Size
Setting at 8 Setting at 9 Setting at 10
13 seconds
19 seconds 17 seconds
12 seconds 11 seconds
15 seconds
The grinding time will vary depending on the coee bean you used. You may need to
experiment with how long the grinder needs to run to achieve the correct dose.
