GENERAL OPERATION
Attaching the Drip Tray
Place the drip tray grill on top of the drip tray.
Machines with color, attach the drip tray
protection guard cover on the drip tray.
Slide the drip tray into the machine.
NOTE
Using the drip tray protection guard cover
is optional. But note that using the drip tray
protection guard can protect your drip tray
from dents and scratches.
Setting the Grind Size
NOTE
This machine is designed only for whole
roasted coee beans. Avoid grinding unroasted
green and under-roasted coee beans. These
are dense and not brittle enough to run
through a burr grinder. This will damage or
break burr grinders and even pose a safety risk.
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
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 20, 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 17). 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 coee beans.
Insert the required filter basket into the
portafilter.

EN
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 coee 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.
NOTE
It is normal for the portafilter to appear
overfilled with ground coee. Untamped coee
is three times the volume of tamped coee.
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 coee
has been dosed.
To stop grinding, release the portafilter.
This will release the grinding activation
switch and stop the grinding function.
Tamping the Ground Coee
Once grinding is complete, carefully remove
the portafilter from the grinding cradle.
Tap the portafilter several times to collapse
and distribute the coee 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 coee 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 coee.
Rotate the Razor™ dose trimming tool back
and forth while holding the portafilter on
an angle over a knock box to trim o excess
coee grinds. Your filter basket is now dosed
with the correct amount of coee.
Wipe excess coee 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.
Inserting the Portafilter
NOTE
DO NOT insert the portafilter with the dosing
funnel in the group-head.

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’.
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/

PREHEATING
Heating your cup or glass
A warm cup will help maintain the coee’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 aect 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 coee
as moisture can encourage ‘channeling’
where water-by-passes the ground coee
during extraction.
SELECTING A FILTER BASKET
Single Wall Filter Baskets
Use Single Wall filter baskets if grinding fresh
whole coee 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 coee.
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.

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 coee, this is approx.
2 level scoops of the provided coee scoop.
2 CUP basket = approx. 16-19g.
If using pre-ground coee, this is approx.
3 level scoops of the provided coee scoop.
If using freshly ground coee, this is approx.
4 level scoops of the provided coee scoop.
The reason for this dierence is that pre-
ground coee is often coarser and hence
occupies more volume than coee that is more
finely ground.
NOTE
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. 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 coee beans, the grind size should
be fine but not too fine. The grind size will
aect the rate at which the water flows through
the ground coee 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 coee 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 coee 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 Coee, 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 coee 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 coee will depend
on many factors, such as the type of coee


beans, degree of roast, freshness, coarseness
or fineness of the grind, dose of ground coee,
and tamping pressure.
Experiment by adjusting these factors
just one at a time to achieve the taste
of your preference, see ‘Extraction Guide’.
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 eect).
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 sucient 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 o 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 coee 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.
Coee beans are best consumed between
5–20 days after the ‘Roasted On’ date.
Ideally only grind directly before the
extraction to maximize flavor.
Buy coee beans in small batches to reduce
the storage time.
Store coee beans in a cool, dark and dry
container. Vacuum seal if possible.
