Instructions (Cont.)
8. Run a blank shot to preheat the cup and portafilter. Press the START/STOP
button (Fig. 12). This will stream hot water (a blank shot) to warm the cup and
portafilter, and then the START/STOP button light will turn off.
9. Add coffee. Following the instructions on pages 15-17, grind the appropriate
amount of coffee beans directly into the filter. Do not overfill the filter,
otherwise the portafilter will not lock properly in place.
10. Tamp. The supplied tamper is particularly heavy to help you pack the coffee
properly. Ensure the tamper is completely dry. Use it to evenly press the coffee
into the filter basket with an optimal pressure of approx. 15 kg, until the top of
the plate is flush with the top of the filter basket. To achieve a smooth and level
surface, tamp the coffee evenly and firmly with a final polish or swirl. Remove
any excess coffee from the rim to ensure proper fit under the group head.
NOTE: When tamping for a double shot, only tamp after you have filled the
filter basket. Tamping between measures may create a layer in the coffee
which may hinder extraction.
11. Engage the portafilter. Align the portafilter handle with the INSERT symbol
on the group head, then turn the handle anticlockwise (to the right) until it is
sealed and securely locked (see Fig. 11).
12. Add your cup(s). Empty the hot water from preheating out of your cup and
place it on the drip tray draining plate, making sure the espresso outlets at the
underside of the portafilter are pointing into the cup.
13. Select the desired settings (if they are different to the pre-sets):
a. Temperature (default - 70°C): Press the POWER button to switch off
the machine. Once it is off, simultaneously press the MENU and SHOT
buttons for at least two seconds. The machine will then enter temperature
adjustment mode. Press the MENU button repeatedly to cycle through
the temperature options - low (65°C), medium (70°C), and high (75°C).
Press the POWER button to switch on the machine. It will have
memorised the new temperature for future use.
