8. Place the frothing jug under the nozzle of the frothing arm.

9. Slowly open the “ ” dial by turning it counterclockwise,

then press and hold the “ ” button. This activates the water pump and fills the frothing boiler with water. After a few seconds, water will start flowing from the nozzle.

10. When the jug is about half full, release the “ ” button

and close the “ ” dial by rotating it clockwise until it stops. The frothing boiler is now ready for use.

11. If no espresso is desired at this time, press the “ ”

button to turn the Espresso Machine off. NOTE: Do not press the “ ” or “ ” buttons without water in the tank. Damage to the water pump may occur. For the finest results when brewing espresso, see the “Before Brewing: The Elements of a Great Espresso” section.

1. Make certain the water tank has an adequate supply of

water (the water level should be between the “max” and “min” fill lines).

2. Select the small- or large-capacity filter basket. Use the

small-capacity basket for one cup (30 ml) of espresso, and the large-capacity basket for two cups (60 ml). The small-capacity basket can be used with paper coffee pods.

3. Press the filter basket into the filter holder until it snaps

into place. Do not fill the filter holder with coffee at this time.

4. Position the filter holder underneath the brew head and

align the filter holder handle with the “ ” on the left side of the metal trim ring. Raise the filter holder into the brew head, then move the filter holder handle to the right so that it aligns with the “ ” on the metal trim ring.

5. Press the “ ” button to turn the Espresso Machine on.

6. Wait until the Espresso Machine has reached operating

temperature; this will take approximately 6 minutes. When the espresso boiler temperature gauge needle climbs into the “ ” zone, the Espresso Machine is ready to brew.

7. Remove the filter holder from the brew head by moving

the handle to the left. Place one level measure of ground coffee (or a paper coffee pod) in the small filter basket, or two measures of ground coffee in the large basket. Be sure to use a fine espresso-style grind for your coffee.

8. Using the tamper, tamp the coffee down firmly with a

twisting motion. Make sure the surface of the coffee is as level as possible. See the “Leveling” and “Tamping” sections for more details.

9. Sweep any excess grinds from the rim of the filter holder,

and insert the filter holder into the brew head.

10. Place one or two espresso cups on the drip plate under

the spouts of the filter holder. Press the “ ” button, and espresso will start to flow into cups. When the desired amount of espresso has been brewed, press the “ ” button to stop brewing. NOTE: Do not remove the filter holder when brewing.

11. The Espresso Machine is equipped with a 3-way solenoid

valve that instantly releases pressure in the brew group when the water pump is switched off, so the filter holder can be removed immediately after brewing. Remove the filter holder by moving the handle to the left. When knocking coffee grounds from the filter basket, avoid striking the filter holder handle.

12. After removing the filter holder, place a cup under the

brew head and press the “ ” button for a second or two. This cleans the shower screen and flushes any coffee oils and grounds that have migrated into the brew head.

13. To brew more espresso, repeat steps 6 through 12, but

see the barista tips below. Barista Tips When brewing multiple cups:

1. Use a towel to clean and dry the filter basket before filling

with coffee. This will help ensure even coffee extraction.

2. To maintain the proper brewing temperature, it is

important to keep the brew group warm, so:

• Do not rinse the filter holder with tap water – doing so will cool the filter. It’s best to wipe leftover grounds from the filter with a towel.

• When you’re busy with other tasks, like grinding coffee or frothing milk, keep the empty filter holder warm by attaching it to the brew head. Frothing and steaming milk requires a bit of practice, but you’ll be surprised how quickly your skills will develop. The Artisan Espresso Machine gives you all the tools you need: a stainless steel jug shaped especially for frothing, a frothing arm that adjusts horizontally and vertically for a comfortable working position, a frothing nozzle designed to enhance frothing, and a “ ” dial that lets you precisely control the volume of frothing steam.

1. Press the “ ” button to turn the Espresso Machine on.

2. Wait until the Espresso Machine has reached operating

temperature; this will take approximately 6 minutes. When the frothing boiler temperature gauge needle climbs into the “ ” zone, the Espresso Machine is ready to froth.

3. Fill the frothing jug 1/3 full with cold milk.

4. With the frothing arm pointed into an empty cup,

open the “ ” dial for a moment to purge excess water from the line. To open the “ ” dial, turn it slowly counterclockwise; to close the “ ” dial, rotate it clockwise until it stops.

5. With the “ ” dial closed, adjust the frothing arm so

it’s in a comfortable working position, and submerse the tip of the frothing nozzle just below the surface of the milk in the frothing jug.

6. Slowly open the “ ” dial by turning it counterclockwise.

The farther the “ ” dial is rotated, the greater the volume of steam that will be released. Tilt the jug to one side to create a whirling motion in the milk, keeping the tip of the frothing nozzle about 5 mm below the milk’s surface. If large bubbles are being created or if the milk spatters, the nozzle is being held too high.

7. As the froth expands, it will be necessary to lower the jug.

8. When the frothed milk has expanded to about 3/4 the

volume of the jug, lower the frothing nozzle into the jug to finish steaming (heating) the milk. Keep the jug tilted to maintain a whirling motion in the milk. Steam the milk until it’s between 60 and 74°C. (At these temperatures, the jug will be very warm to the touch.) Avoid scalding the milk, which occurs at 80 degrees.

9. Before removing the frothing arm from the milk, close

the “ ” dial by turning it clockwise until it stops. This prevents splattering. Frothing and steaming milk

• Clean the frothing arm and nozzle immediately after use. See the “Care and cleaning” section.

• Lower fat milks are generally easier to froth. Skim milk can be tricky because it froths very easily, with a tendency to form large bubbles and dry peaks that mar its texture. Hot water can also be dispensed from the frothing arm. This provides a convenient way to make Americanos, tea, or hot chocolate. Filling a demitasse with hot water is also a great way to warm it before brewing espresso. NOTE: Always dispense hot water into an empty container – dispensing into a cup or jug containing other ingredients may cause splattering.

1. Press the “ ” button to turn the Espresso Machine on.

2. Wait until the Espresso Machine has reached operating

temperature; this will take about 6 minutes. When the frothing boiler temperature gauge needle climbs into the “ ” zone, the Espresso Machine is ready to dispense hot water.

3. With the frothing arm pointed into an empty cup, open the

“ ” dial by turning it slowly counterclockwise. Then press and hold the “ ” button to dispense water. NOTE: Residual frothing steam may exit the nozzle before water dispenses. It may take several seconds for water to begin flowing from the nozzle.

4. When the desired amount of water has been dispensed,

release the “ ” button and close the “ ” dial by turning it clockwise until it stops.

1. Turn off the Espresso Machine.

2. Unplug the Espresso Machine from the wall outlet,

or disconnect power.

3. Let the Espresso Machine, and any attached parts

or accessories, cool.

Dispensing hot water Preparing cappuccino To prepare cappuccino, froth and steam the milk before brewing the espresso. This allows the froth to jell slightly and fully separate from the milk. Once the milk is prepared, brew one cup (30 ml) of espresso into a cappuccino cup, then pour the frothed and steamed milk into the cup with a gentle shaking motion. For a show-stopping flourish, top your cappuccino with chocolate shavings. Ultimately, the choice of milk is a matter of experimentation and taste. The most important factors in producing a superior froth are experience and good refrigeration: the colder the milk you use, the better.

Keeping the Artisan Espresso Machine clean is vital to brewing the best espresso possible. Stale coffee oils on the filter holder, filter baskets, and shower screen will ruin the flavour of the most expertly prepared coffee, and any milk left on the frothing arm should be removed. Before cleaning the Espresso Machine The frothing arm and nozzle should always be cleaned after milk is frothed.

1. Remove the frothing sleeve from the frothing nozzle by

pulling it downward. The frothing sleeve can be washed in warm, soapy water. Make sure any openings in the sleeve are free of residue.

2. Wipe the frothing arm and nozzle with a clean damp cloth.

Do not use an abrasive scouring pad.

3. Plug into an earthed outlet.

4. Turn the Espresso Machine on, and let the boilers reach

operating temperature. Point the frothing arm into an empty cup and open the “ ” dial momentarily to run steam through the frothing nozzle. This will clean the nozzle tip. Cleaning the frothing arm and nozzle W10553375B_01_EN_v05.indd 13 8/28/17 11:57 AM14

2. Wash the shower screen in warm, soapy water, and rinse

3. Place the shower screen into the brew head with the

smooth side facing down, and attach with the shower screen screw. Turn the screw clockwise until snug. NOTE: When the shower screen is attached, the centre screw should be flush with the surface of the screen. If it is not, remove the screen, turn it over, and reattach it. Do not use abrasive cleansers or scouring pads when cleaning the Espresso Machine, or any Espresso Machine part or accessory.

• Wipe the Espresso Machine housing with a clean, damp cloth and dry with a soft cloth.

• Wash the filter holder in warm, soapy water and rinse with clean water. Dry with a soft cloth. Do not wash the filter holder in a dishwasher.

• The filter baskets, drip tray, drip plate, water tank, and frothing jug can be washed in the top rack of a dishwasher, or by hand in warm, soapy water. If washing by hand, be sure to rinse with clean water and dry with a soft cloth.

Cleaning the housing and accessories Once every 75 to 100 cups of espresso, the shower screen should be removed from the brew head to clean thoroughly.

1. Using a short screwdriver, remove the screw at the centre

of the shower screen by turning it counterclockwise. Once the screw is free, the shower screen should drop from the brew head.

• Use the shower-screen brush or a damp cloth to brush or wipe coffee grounds from the brew head gasket and shower screen. Cleaning the shower screen For the best tasting espresso, prime the Espresso Machine with fresh water after a long period of non-use. Priming will also ensure that the boilers are filled and the Espresso Machine is ready to operate. Priming after long periods of non-use

1. Remove the tank, empty any stale water, replace, and fill

the tank with fresh water to the max fill line.

2. Fill the boilers with the fresh water. For instructions, see

the “Filling and rinsing the boilers” section.

6. Open the “ ” dial by turning it counterclockwise, then

press and hold the “ ” button for 15 seconds to dispense cleaning agent through the frothing arm and nozzle.

7. Press the “ ” button to turn the Espresso Machine off.

8. Wait 20 minutes, then repeat steps 4–7. Every 20 minutes,

keep repeating steps 4–7 until nearly all the solution in the tank has been run through the Espresso Machine. Do not allow the tank to run completely dry.

9. Remove the water tank and rinse with fresh water, then

replace and fill with fresh water to the max fill line. Press the “ ” button to turn the Espresso Machine on, and flush the Espresso Machine by quickly dispensing the contents of the tank, alternating between the brew head and frothing arm. Do not allow the water tank to run completely dry.

10. Attach the shower screen to the brew head. See the

“Cleaning the shower screen” section for instructions. Be sure to add additional fresh water to the tank for brewing.

Calcium deposits (“scale”) from water will build up in the Espresso Machine over time and may impair espresso quality. NOTE: Scale should be removed every two months; local hard-water conditions may require more frequent descalings. Use a packaged descaling agent or appropriate decalcification tablets to remove scale.

1. Remove the shower screen from the brew head. See the

“Cleaning the shower screen” section for instructions.

2. Make certain the water tank is empty. Following the

directions on the descaling agent packet, mix the descaling solution and add it to the tank.

3. To catch the cleaning solution, place a large cup under the

brew head (do not attach the filter holder), and another under the frothing nozzle.

4. Press the “ ” button to turn the Espresso Machine on. It

is not necessary for the boilers to heat before proceeding to the next step.

5. Press the “ ” button and dispense cleaning agent through

brew head for 15 seconds; press the “ ” button again to shut off. Descaling Winter storage care for your KitchenAid Espresso Machine

Espresso demands a very fine, very consistent grind. Blade grinders and inexpensive burr grinders usually fall short when it comes to producing the grinds needed for outstanding espresso. The best espresso requires a quality burr grinder, like the KitchenAid Burr Grinder. A good burr grinder will maximise the flavour and aroma of espresso by producing an extremely consistent grind with very little frictional heating. TROUBLESHOOTING PROBLEMS BEFORE BREWING: THE ELEMENTS OF A GREAT ESPRESSO Fresh coffee beans Before the Espresso Machine is even plugged in, you’ll need several elements to produce great coffee. Great coffee can only come from fresh coffee beans, properly roasted. Many baristas recommend buying beans roasted no darker than a medium roast, the colour of which appears as an even chocolate brown. This roast preserves the natural sugars and flavour of the bean, which sets the stage for excellent espresso. A medium roast is the darkest a bean can be roasted without oils developing on the surface. Darkly roasted beans – which appear dark brown or nearly black – look great, but the extra roasting overwhelms the more delicate coffee flavours and caramelises any sugars. A heavy “roasted” coffee flavour, often bitter and sharp, will predominate with a dark roast. To preserve the freshness of coffee beans: Keep beans in an opaque, airtight container and store them in a cool, dry place. Refrigeration is not recommended, as condensation tends to form on the beans whenever the container is opened. Freezing can help preserve beans stored for an extended period, but it will also impair flavour. Great tasting water An often overlooked element of great espresso is the brew water. If you don’t enjoy the flavour of your tap water, don’t use it to brew espresso – use bottled, purified water instead. Since it doesn’t take long for fresh water to acquire a “flat” quality and taste, it’s also a good idea to change the water in the tank often and refill the boilers after a long period of non- use. Do not use highly mineralised water or distilled water – they can damage the Espresso Machine. The right grind — and grinder W10553375B_01_EN_v05.indd 16 8/28/17 11:57 AM17 EnglishEnglish Tamping compresses the coffee into a level disc that provides uniform resistance to the high-pressure brew water. Properly leveled and tamped coffee will produce an even extraction of coffee compounds – and great espresso. Coffee that is tamped too softly will be deformed by the brew water, resulting in uneven extraction, a fast brewing time, and mediocre espresso. Coffee tamped too firmly will slow the brewing time, making for a bitter, overextracted beverage. Proper tamping technique

1. The tamper handle should be grasped like a doorknob,

with the base of the handle firmly against the palm. When tamping, try to keep the tamper, wrist, and elbow in a straight line.

2. With the bottom of the filter holder resting on a solid

surface, gently press the tamper into the coffee with the goal of creating a level surface. Remove the tamper from the filter basket with a slight twisting motion – this will help prevent the tamper from pulling up chunks of coffee. Properly leveled coffee

ESPRESSO BREWING TECHNIQUES

Brewing temperature Water temperature and temperature consistency have a direct impact on the flavour of espresso. Great espresso comes from brewing at an optimum temperature, ideally between 90º–96º C. To ensure proper brewing temperature: Always attach the filter holder (with filter basket) to the brew head when the Espresso Machine is heating. This warms the filter.

• Always wait until the boilers are fully heated before brewing – approximately 6 minutes.

• Dose and tamp your coffee quickly, and brew immediately. This prevents the filter holder from cooling significantly.

• Never rinse the filter holder with cool water if you are brewing additional cups. After knocking the old grounds from the filter, wipe leftover grounds from the basket with a clean towel. Make sure the filter basket is dry before adding more coffee.

• Keep the empty filter holder attached to the brew head when you’re engaged in other tasks, like grinding or frothing.

• Warm a cup or demitasse by placing it on top of the Espresso Machine before brewing. Cups can also be heated instantly with steam from the frothing arm. Grinding Great espresso demands the freshest coffee, and the freshest coffee is always ground immediately before brewing. The most delicate aromatic compounds in coffee go stale within a few minutes of grinding, so grind only as much as you intend to brew immediately. Dosing Dosing is the process of measuring ground coffee into the filter basket. A single cup (30 ml) of espresso requires 7 grams of coffee – two cups, twice that. If filled level with finely ground coffee, the scoop included with the Artisan Espresso Machine is a near perfect measure for one cup of espresso. If you’re dosing coffee without the aid of a measuring scoop, it is important not to overfill the filter basket. Coffee needs room to expand when brewing. If the coffee is crushed against the shower screen, it will prevent an even dispersion of water across the filter, leading to uneven extraction and poor espresso. Here’s how to tell if you’re overfilling the filter basket:

1. Fill the basket, level the coffee, and apply a good tamp

(see the “Tamping” section).

2. Attach the filter holder to the brew head, then remove

3. If the coffee in the filter holder has an imprint of the

shower screen or the shower screen screw, there is too much coffee in the filter basket! Leveling Leveling the coffee after it has been dosed into the filter is a critical technique for great espresso. If the coffee isn’t evenly distributed in the filter, tamping the coffee will create areas of high and low density. The high-pressure brew water will inevitably follow the path of least resistance, flowing heavily through the low-density coffee – overextracting the bitter Tamping coffee compounds – and flowing lightly through the higher density coffee, underextracting the flavourful essences. This uneven extraction results in thin, weak, bitter espresso. To level coffee in the filter basket:

• Make sure the filter basket is dry before adding coffee; moisture in the basket will create a path of least resistance for the brew water.

• After dosing the filter with coffee, level the coffee by sweeping a finger back and forth over the filter. Do not sweep in one direction only – this will cause the coffee to pile up on one side of the basket and produce uneven extraction. Try to impart a slight bowl shape to the coffee, with the centre lower than the sides.

• Make certain there are no gaps between the coffee and the sides of the filter.

• make sure your brew group and boilers are fully heated

• use a less-acidic blend of coffee …is whitish with thin brown streaks:

• review your tamping technique – the tamped coffee has fractured, or a gap has developed between the coffee and the side of the filter basket ...is thin and fast flowing:

• review your tamping technique – the tamp may not be firm enough to provide an even resistance to the brew water

• check coffee freshness …barely dribbles out of the filter holder:

• review your tamping technique – the tamp could be too firm

Volume Measuring tamping pressure 9 kilograms, 15 kilograms – how do you know how much tamping force you are actually using? Do what the baristas do: use a bathroom scale! Place a scale on a table or countertop, and tamp your coffee on top of it. Pretty soon, you will develop a feel for how much 9 or 15 kilograms of force is. The brew group and boilers are heated. The fresh coffee has been ground, dosed into the filter holder, expertly leveled, and precisely tamped. Now comes the moment of truth: brewing! For the best espresso, never extract more than one cup (30 ml) using the small filter basket or two cups (60 ml) using the large one. Brewing more will overextract the coffee and result in thin, bitter espresso. As it pours, perfect espresso is a deep reddish brown with a thick texture like honey running off a spoon. It often forms what are called mouse-tails, or thin syrupy streams. As increasingly bitter and acidic compounds are extracted, the espresso pour will begin to lighten; in some cases, the pour will become almost white. Expert baristas will watch the pour carefully and quickly stop brewing if it starts to lighten. Espresso Ristretto is espresso brewed with less than normal volume. Prepare the Espresso Machine to brew two cups, but stop brewing when only 45 ml have been extracted. What you’ve done is restrict the pour to include only the most flavourful and least bitter coffee oils and essences. Extraction rate Decades of experience have shown that the best espresso – whether a single or a double cup – takes about 20–25 seconds to brew. If your espresso is brewing much faster or slower than 20–25 seconds, and your tamping technique is good, adjust the grind! Grind finer for a slower extraction rate, and coarser for a faster one. Keep the dose and tamp the same. Coffee is sensitive to the ambient humidity and will absorb moisture readily. This will affect the extraction rate. In a humid environment, the extraction rate will slow down; in dry conditions, the extraction rate will speed up. You may find yourself adjusting the grind according to the season – or the day’s weather. Some grinders do not allow the fine adjustments necessary to correct the extraction rate. The best solution is to invest in the KitchenAid Burr Grinder. If this isn’t possible, experiment with the tamping pressure. Tamp with less force for a faster pour, and more force for a slower one.

3. After removing the tamper, some grinds may stick

to the side of the filter basket. Tap the filter holder gently on the table to jostle the grinds onto the tamped coffee disc. Do not tap too hard, or the tamped coffee will dislodge or fracture.

4. Apply a second, finishing tamp (also called a polishing

tamp). Press straight down on the coffee with about 15 kilograms of pressure, then relax the force slightly (to about 9 kilograms) and polish the coffee by turning the tamper completely around twice.

5. Inspect your tamp. The coffee disc should be smooth

and level with no gaps between the side of the filter basket and the coffee. The golden crema A mark of fine espresso is crema, the dense golden foam of emulsified coffee oils that captures the essence of coffee flavour. Good crema should be thick and cling to the side of the cup when it’s tilted; the best crema should be able to support a sprinkling of sugar for nearly 30 seconds.
