STEP 3 - TAMPING THE COFFEE
• Tap the Portafilter several times to
distribute the coffee evenly in the Filter.
Tamp down with the tamping end of the
provided Measuring/Tamping Spoon.
• Wipe excess coffee from the rim of the
Filter to ensure a proper seal in the
Group Head is achieved.
STEP 4 - PURGING THE
GROUP HEAD
• Ensure the Selector Control is in the
center ‘Standby’ position and plug the
power cord into a 110/120V power
outlet. Press the Power On/Off button
to ‘On’. The button surround will
illuminate. A vibrating sound will be
heard, this is normal.
• The heating light will flash while
the machine is heating. During this
time you may notice some water is
automatically released into the Drip
Tray. This is normal. It ensures the
internal thermoblock heating system is
at the optimal temperature for extracting
espresso. When the machine has reached
the correct operating temperature, the
heating light will go out.
• Before placing the Portafilter into the
Group Head, run a short flow of water
through the Group Head. This stabilizes
the temperature prior to extraction. To
do this, turn the Selector Control to the
right 'Espresso' position. A pumping
noise will be heard then water will
flow through. After 5 seconds, turn the
Selector Control back to the center
'Standby' position to stop the water
flow. You may notice water and steam
is automatically released into the Drip
Tray. This is normal.
NOTE
The heating light will flash or
illuminate completely while the
machine is heating or maintaining
the correct temperature. During this
time you may notice water and steam
is automatically released into the Drip
Tray. This is normal. Always ensure
the heating light is not flashing or
illuminated before extracting espresso.
STEP 5 - PRE-HEATING THE CUP
• A warm cup will help maintain the
coffee’s optimal temperature. Pre-heat
your cup by rinsing with hot water
(refer to 'Steam & Hot Water Button',
page 18) and place on the Cup
Warming Tray.
STEP 6 - INSERTING THE
PORTAFILTER
• Place the Portafilter underneath the
Group Head so that the handle is
aligned with the INSERT position. Insert
the Portafilter into the Group Head and
rotate the handle towards the center
until resistance is felt. This will be at an
approximate 90° angle to the machine.
STEP 7 - EXTRACTING ESPRESSO
• Ensure the heating light is not flashing
or illuminated before extracting
espresso.
• Place pre-warmed cup(s) beneath the
Portafilter.
• Turn the Selector Control to the right
'Espresso' position. A pumping noise
will be heard.
• After a few seconds, aromatic coffee
will start to flow.
NOTE
Due to the Triple Prime™ Pump, coffee
will not start to flow immediately. This
unique feature releases three bursts
of hot water to moisten the ground
coffee in the Portafilter. The ground
coffee expands resulting in greater
pressure build-up to extract all the
oils and fullest flavor from the
ground coffee.
NOTE
If the espresso starts to drip but
doesn’t flow after approximately
15 seconds, then you have either over
dosed the Filter with too much coffee
and/or the grind is too fine. This is an
OVER EXTRACTED shot.
• When sufficient coffee has flowed, turn
the Selector Control back to the center
'Standby' position.
• You may notice the heating light
illuminate and water and steam
automatically release into the Drip Tray.
This is normal.
STEP 8 – TEXTURING MILK
The espresso machine features a 360°
Swivel Steam Wand with removable Froth
Enhancer. The Froth Enhancer creates a
large amount of froth with very little effort.
If less froth is required, remove the Froth
Enhancer and store it in the Storage Tray.
To reattach the Froth Enhancer, ensure the
steam holes on either end are clear. Slide
either end onto the Steam Wand, firmly
pushing upwards onto the rubber surround.
• There are two phases to texturing milk.
The first is stretching the milk to aerate
it and the second is swirling the milk
to make it silky smooth. These two
operations should blend into one.
• Always start with fresh cold milk. Fill the
jug half way.
• 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.
