GENERAL OPERATION

Setting the Grind Size

The grind size will affect the rate of water ﬂow

through the coffee in the ﬁlter basket and

the ﬂavor of the espresso. When setting the

grind size, it should be ﬁne but not too ﬁne

and powdery.

There are numbered settings on the

GRIND SIZE selector. The smaller the number,

the ﬁner the grind size. The larger the number,

the coarser the grind size. We recommend you

start at setting 5 and adjust as required.

Setting the Grind Amount

Set the GRIND AMOUNT dial to the

3 o’clock position as a starting point. Adjust

towards LESS or MORE as required to adjust

the dose amount so the metal cap on the

supplied tamper is level with the top edge of

the ﬁlter basket rim, AFTER tamping.

TIPS

It is normal that the GRIND SIZE selector

and GRIND AMOUNT dial will need to be

adjusted a few times to achieve the correct

extraction rate. Start with the suggested

settings, extract an espresso, then refer to the

Extraction Guide, page 21, to determine what

adjustments need to be made.

Selecting the Filter Size

Insert either the 1 CUP or 2 CUP ﬁlter basket

into the portaﬁlter (see ‘Selecting a Filter

Basket’, page 18). Press the FILTER SIZE

button to select SINGLE if using the

1 CUP ﬁlter basket, or DOUBLE if using the

2 CUP ﬁlter basket.

SINGLE

FILTER SIZE

DOUBLE

Automatic Dosing

• Ensure the hopper is locked into position and

is ﬁlled with fresh coffee beans.

• Insert the required ﬁlter basket into the

portaﬁlter.

• Attach and twist the dosing funnel onto the

portaﬁlter.

• Insert the portaﬁlter (with the dosing funnel)

into the grinding cradle.

• Push and release the portaﬁlter to engage the

grinding activation switch, then allow fresh

ground coffee to ﬁll the portaﬁlter.

• Grinding will automatically stop, however if

you wish to stop grinding before the cycle has

ﬁnished, push and release the portaﬁlter.

13

EN

NOTE

It is normal for the portaﬁlter to appear

overﬁlled with ground coffee. Untamped coffee

is three times the volume of tamped coffee.

Manual Dosing

• If you prefer to manually dose, with the

portaﬁlter inserted in the grinding cradle,

push and hold the portaﬁlter to engage the

grinding activation switch. Continue holding

until the desired amount of ground coffee

has been dosed.

• To stop grinding, release the portaﬁlter.

This will release the grinding activation

switch and stop the grinding function.

Tamping the Ground Coffee

• Once grinding is complete, carefully remove

the portaﬁlter from the grinding cradle.

• Tap the portaﬁlter several times to collapse

and distribute the coffee evenly in the

ﬁlter basket.

• Using the tamper, tamp down ﬁrmly approx.

22-33 lbs (10-15 kg) of pressure. The amount

of pressure is not as important as consistent

pressure every time.

• After tamping, remove the dosing funnel

from the portaﬁlter.

NOTE

As a guide to dose, the top edge of the metal

cap on the tamper should be level with the

top of the ﬁlter basket AFTER the coffee has

been tamped.

Trimming the Dose

The Razor™ precision dose trimming tool

allows you to trim the puck to the right level for

a consistent extraction.

the Razor™

Precision dose trimming tool

• Insert the Razor™ dose trimming tool into

the ﬁlter basket until the shoulders of the tool

rest on the rim of the basket. The blade of

the dose trimming tool should penetrate the

surface of the tamped coffee.

• Rotate the Razor™ dose trimming tool back

and forth while holding the portaﬁlter on

an angle over a knock box to trim off excess

coffee grinds. Your ﬁlter basket is now dosed

with the correct amount of coffee.

• Wipe excess coffee from the rim of the ﬁlter

basket to ensure a proper seal is achieved in

the group head.

Purging the Group Head

Before placing the portaﬁlter into the group

head, run a short ﬂow of water through the

group head by pressing the 1 CUP button.

This will stabilize the temperature prior

to extraction.

14

Inserting the Portaﬁlter

NOTE

DO NOT insert the portaﬁlter with the dosing

funnel in the group-head.

When using a 2 CUP ﬁlter basket, you should

extract approx. 2oz / 60ml.

ESPRESSO PRESSURE GAUGE

Low Pressure Pre-Infusion

The gauge needle will be positioned in the

pre-infusion zone at the start of the extraction

indicating the machine is in low pressure pre-

infusion mode. The low pressure pre-infusion

gradually increases water pressure to gently

expand grinds for an even extraction before

increasing to full pressure.

Ideal Espresso Zone

The gauge needle, when positioned anywhere

within the solid grey zone during extraction,

indicates the espresso has been extracted at

the ideal pressure.

Under Extracted Zone

The gauge needle, when positioned in the

lower zone during extraction, indicates the

espresso has been extracted with

insufﬁcient pressure.

16

This occurs when the water ﬂow through the

ground coffee is too fast and results in an

under extracted espresso that is watery and

lacks crema and ﬂavor.

Causes for under extraction include the grind

being too coarse and/or insufﬁcient coffee in

the ﬁlter basket and/or under tamping.

Over Extracted Zone

The gauge needle, when positioned in the

upper zone during extraction, indicates

the espresso has been extracted with too

much pressure.

This occurs when the water ﬂow through the

ground coffee is too slow and results in an over

extracted espresso that is very dark and bitter

with a mottled and uneven crema.

Causes for over extraction include the grind

being too ﬁne and/or too much ground coffee

in the ﬁlter basket and/or over tamping.

USING THE STEAM/HOT WATER DIAL

Steam

• Position the steam wand tip over the drip tray.

• Turn the STEAM/HOT WATER dial to the

STEAM position. The STEAM/HOT WATER

light will ﬂash to indicate the machine is

heating to create steam. During this time,

condensed water may purge from the steam

wand. This is normal.

NOTE

When the machine creates steam, a pumping

noise can be heard. This is the normal opera-

tion of the 15 bar Italian pump.

• When the STEAM/HOT WATER light stops

ﬂashing the steam wand is ready for use.

• Before inserting the wand into the milk,

pause the steam by returning the dial back to

the STANDBY position. Then within

8 seconds, insert the steam wand tip ¼–¾”

(1–2cm) below the surface of the milk, close to

the right hand side of the jug at the 3 o’clock

position and quickly turn the dial back to the

STEAM position. Pausing the steam avoids

the milk splashing out of the jug (this pause

function lasts for 8 seconds only).

• Once the milk is at the correct temperature

(140–149°F or 60–65°C) and the jug is hot

to touch, return the dial to the STANDBY

position BEFORE removing the jug.

• For more tips on milk texturing, refer to

‘Texturing Milk’, page 20.

NOTE

After 5 minutes of continuous steaming, the

machine will automatically disable the steam

function. The STEAM/HOT WATER light will

ﬂash. When this occurs return the dial to the

STANDBY position.

Hot Water

• Turn the STEAM/HOT WATER dial to

the HOT WATER position. The STEAM/

HOT WATER light will ﬂash to indicate the

machine is heating to create hot water.

• When the STEAM/HOT WATER light stops

ﬂashing the hot water is up to temperature.

Hot water will pour from the hot water outlet

and can be used for making Americanos and

pre-heating cups.

• To stop the hot water, return the dial to the

STANDBY position.

AUTO PURGE

Immediately after the espresso, hot water and

steam functions, the machine will purge water

into the drip tray. This ensures the thermocoil

is at the optimal temperature.

17

EN

TIPS

Ensure the drip tray is ﬁrmly pushed in

place and emptied whenever the Empty Me!

indicator is displayed.

SLEEP & AUTO OFF MODE

The machine automatically switches to

SLEEP MODE after 1 hour. During this time,

the POWER button light will ﬂash slowly.

After 3 hours, the machine will switch to

AUTO OFF MODE.

To re-activate the machine, press any button

except for the POWER button. The POWER

button light will ﬂash while the machine re-

heats. A pumping sound will be heard. This is

normal. When the machine has reached the

correct operating temperature, the POWER

button light will stop ﬂashing and all button

lights on the control panel will illuminate.

ADVANCED TEMPERATURE MODE

PRE-HEATING

Heating your cup or glass

A warm cup will help maintain the coffee’s

optimal temperature. Pre-heat your cup by

rinsing with hot water from the hot water outlet

and place on the cup warming tray.

Heating the portaﬁlter and ﬁlter basket

A cold portaﬁlter and ﬁlter basket can

reduce the extraction temperature enough to

signiﬁcantly affect the quality of your espresso.

Always ensure the portaﬁlter and ﬁlter basket

are pre-heated with hot water from the hot

water outlet before initial use.

NOTE

Always wipe the portaﬁlter and ﬁlter bas-

ket dry before dosing with ground coffee

as moisture can encourage ‘channeling’

where water-by-passes the ground coffee

during extraction.

SELECTING A FILTER BASKET

Single Wall Filter Baskets

Use Single Wall ﬁlter baskets if grinding fresh

whole coffee beans.

Single Wall ﬁlter baskets allow you to

experiment with grind, dose and tamp to create

a more balanced espresso.

1 CUP 2 CUP

Dual Wall Filter Baskets

Use Dual Wall ﬁlter baskets if using

pre-ground coffee.

Dual Wall ﬁlter baskets regulate the pressure

and help to optimize the extraction regardless

of the grind, dose, tamp pressure or freshness.

1 CUP 2 CUP

NOTE

Regardless of whether you use Single Wall or

Dual Wall ﬁlter baskets, use the 1 CUP basket

when brewing a single cup and the 2 CUP

basket when brewing two cups or a stronger

single cup or mug.

19

EN

NOTE

You will need to adjust the grind amount and

size if switching from a single basket to a

double basket, or vice versa.

The provided ﬁlter baskets are designed for:

1 CUP basket = approx. 8-11g.

If using pre-ground coffee, this is approx.

2 level scoops of the provided coffee scoop.

2 CUP basket = approx. 16-19g.

If using pre-ground coffee, this is approx.

3 level scoops of the provided coffee scoop.

If using freshly ground coffee, this is approx.

4 level scoops of the provided coffee scoop.

The reason for this difference is that pre-

ground coffee is often coarser and hence

occupies more volume than coffee that is more

ﬁnely ground.

NOTE

You may need to experiment with how much

coffee is inserted into the ﬁlter basket or

how long the grinder needs to run to achieve

the correct dose. For example, when using

a ﬁner espresso grind with the Single Wall

ﬁlter baskets, you may need to increase the

grind amount to ensure the ﬁlter basket is

correctly dosed.

THE GRIND

If grinding coffee beans, 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 basket 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 basket

too quickly. The resulting espresso will be

UNDER EXTRACTED and lacking in color

and ﬂavor.

COFFEE DOSE AND TAMPING

Follow the instructions for:

1. Setting the Grind Size, page 12.

2. Setting the Grind Amount, page 12.

3. Selecting the Filter Size, page 12.

4. Automatic Dosing or Manual Dosing,

page 12-13.

5. Tamping the Ground Coffee, page 13.

6. Trimming the Dose, page 13.

PURGING THE GROUP HEAD

Before placing the portaﬁlter into the group

head, run a short ﬂow of water through the

group head by pressing the 1 CUP button.

This will purge any ground coffee residue from

the group head and stabilize the temperature

prior to extraction.

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.

EXTRACTING ESPRESSO

• Place pre-warmed cup(s) beneath the

portaﬁlter and press the 1 CUP or 2 CUP

button for the desired volume.

• Due to pre-infusion time, the espresso will

not start to ﬂow immediately.

• As a guide, the espresso will start to ﬂow after

4–7 seconds (infusion time) and should be

the consistency of dripping honey.

• If the espresso starts to ﬂow after less than

3 seconds you have either under dosed the

ﬁlter basket and/or the grind is too coarse.

This is an UNDER-EXTRACTED shot.

• If the espresso starts to drip but doesn’t ﬂow

after 8 seconds, then you have either over

dosed the ﬁlter basket and/or the grind is too

ﬁne. This is an OVER-EXTRACTED shot.

A great espresso is about achieving the perfect

balance between sweetness, acidity and bit-

terness. 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, see ‘Extraction Guide,’

page 21.

TEXTURING MILK

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 just below the “V” at the bottom

of the spout.

• Position the steam wand tip over the drip

tray and turn the STEAM/HOT WATER

dial to the STEAM position. The STEAM/

HOT WATER light will ﬂash to indicate the

machine is heating to create steam. During

this time, condensed water may purge from

the steam wand. This is normal. When the

STEAM/HOT WATER light stops ﬂashing

the steam wand is ready for use.

NOTE

When the machine creates steam, a pumping

noise can be heard. This is the normal

operation of the 15 bar Italian pump.

• Before inserting the wand into the milk,

pause the steam by returning the dial back to

the STANDBY position. Then within

8 seconds, insert the steam wand tip ¼-¾”

(1-2cm) below the surface of the milk, close to

the right hand side of the jug at the 3 o’clock

position and quickly turn the dial back to the

STEAM position. Pausing the steam avoids

the milk splashing out of the jug (this pause

function lasts for 8 seconds only).

• Keep the tip just under the surface of the

milk until the milk is spinning clockwise,

producing a vortex (whirlpool effect).

• With the milk spinning, slowly lower the jug.

This will bring the steam tip to the surface of

the milk & start to introduce air into the milk.

You may have to gently break the surface of

the milk with the tip to get the milk spinning

fast enough.

• Keep the tip at or slightly below the surface,

continuing to maintain the vortex. Texture

the milk until sufﬁcient volume is obtained.

• Lift the jug to lower the tip beneath the

surface, but keep the vortex of milk spinning.

The milk is at the correct temperature

(140-149°F or 60-65°C) when the jug is

hot to touch.

• Turn off steam BEFORE taking the tip out

of the milk.

• Set the jug to one side. Immediately wipe the

steam wand with a damp cloth. Then, with

the steam wand tip directed over the drip tray,

brieﬂy turn steam on to clear any remaining

milk from inside the steam wand.

• Tap the jug on the bench to collapse

any bubbles.

• Swirl the jug to “polish” and re-integrate

the texture.

• Pour milk directly into the espresso.

• The key is to work quickly, before the milk

begins to separate.

HINTS & TIPS

• Fresh, quality coffee beans will give you the

best possible extraction.

• We recommend quality 100% Arabica beans

with a ‘Roasted On’ date stamped on the bag,

not a ‘Best Before’ or ‘Use By’ date.

• Coffee beans are best consumed between

5–20 days after the ‘Roasted On’ date.

Ideally only grind directly before the

extraction to maximize ﬂavor.

• Buy coffee beans in small batches to reduce

the storage time.

• Store coffee beans in a cool, dark and dry

container. Vacuum seal if possible.
