AUTO PURGE
For extracting espresso immediately after
using the steam function, the machine
features an auto purge function.
The auto purge function ensures the
ground coffee will not be burnt by the initial
water flow from the thermoblock heating
system being too hot. The initial water is
automatically released into the Drip Tray
after steaming to ensure the thermoblock
is at the optimal temperature for extracting
espresso. Your espresso will always be
extracted at the optimal temperature
ensuring only the best flavors are extracted.
If you find water around the front of the
machine, it may be the auto purge function.
Ensure the Drip Tray is firmly pushed in
place after extracting an espresso or using
the steam and hot water functions. Empty
the Drip Tray regularly.
STEAM & HOT WATER BUTTON
• The machine will automatically default
to the Steam button when the machine is
first turned on.
• Both buttons cannot be operated at the
same time.
• To select steam, position the tip of the
Steam Wand over the Drip Tray. Press
the Steam button then turn the Selector
Control to the left 'Steam/Hot Water'
position. The heating light will flash
then illuminate completely. During this
time, condensed water may purge from
the Steam Wand before steam starts to
flow. This is normal.
• To select hot water, remove the Froth
Enhancer from the Steam Wand. Press
the Hot Water button then turn the
Selector Control to the left 'Steam/Hot
Water' position. Hot water will dispense
from the Steam Wand. Hot water can
be used to pre-heat cups or to make
Americanos, tea, hot chocolate or
instant oatmeal.
NOTE
The machine is not designed to supply
large quantities of hot water. The more
hot water dispensed, the cooler it
becomes.
• If the machine remains on, the last
button used (Steam or Hot Water) will
stay illuminated.
NOTE
Always clean the Steam Wand and
Froth Enhancer after every use. Refer
to 'Cleaning the Steam Wand & Froth
Enhancer', page 21.
HINTS & TIPS
The flavor of your coffee will depend on
many factors, such as the type of coffee
beans, degree of roast, freshness, coarseness
or fineness of the grind, dose of ground
coffee, and tamping pressure. Experiment by
adjusting these factors just one at a time to
achieve the taste of your preference.
The Coffee
• We recommend using freshly roasted
coffee beans, with a 'roasted on' date
and use within 2 weeks of 'roasted
on’ date. The beans should be ground
immediately before brewing as ground
coffee quickly loses its flavor and aroma.
• Pre-ground coffee can be used but
should not be kept for longer than
1 week as flavor will diminish.
• Store coffee (beans or pre-ground) in a
cool, dark and dry container. Vacuum
seal if possible. Do not refrigerate or
freeze.
• Buy coffee (beans or pre-ground) in
small batches to reduce the storage
time and store no more than one weeks
supply at any time.
The Grind
• Always ensure the grind size of
the coffee is suitable for espresso/
cappuccino machines. The grind size
should be fine but not too fine. The grind
size will affect the rate at which the
water flows through the ground coffee in
the Filter and 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 coffee even when under pressure.
The resulting espresso will be OVER
EXTRACTED, dark in color and bitter
in flavor.
• If the grind is too coarse the water will
flow through the ground coffee in the
Filter too quickly. The resulting espresso
will be UNDER EXTRACTED and
lacking in color and flavor.
