• Plug the power cord into the power outlet.

• Press the POWER button. The POWER button will flash while the machine is heating. (Light will flash for up to 55seconds while the machine is heating.) When the correct temperature has been reached, the 1CUP and 2CUP buttons and the POWER button on the control panel will illuminate. First Use Priming and Flushing the Machine It is recommended to complete a water flushing operation to ensure the machine has been conditioned. When the machine has reached STANDBY mode, run the following steps.

• Place a cup under the group head and press the 2CUP button to run hot water through the group head.

• Place a cup under the hot water spout. Rotate the dial to ‘Hot Water’ position and run water through the hot water outlet for 10seconds.

• Position the steam wand over the drip tray. Rotate the dial to ‘Steam’ position and activate steam for 10seconds.

• Discard the contents of the cup.

• Repeat this cycle 3times. Discard the contents of the drip tray and refill the water tank up to the max line.

• Insert the portafilter into the grinding cradle, press and hold ‘Dose’ button for 3seconds. Remove the portafilter and discard any grinds. NOTE

• Top up the water daily. The water tank should be filled with fresh, cold tap water before each use.

• DO NOT use highly filtered, demineralized, or distilled water in this machine. This may aect the taste of the coee. FILTER BASKETS This machine includes both single and dual wall, 1CUP and 2CUP filter baskets. Use the 1CUP filter basket when brewing a single cup and the 2CUP filter baskets when brewing 2cups or a stronger single cup or mug. 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: 1CUP filter basket = 8-11g 2CUP filter basket = 16-19g Single Wall Filter Baskets 1 CUP 2 CUP Single Wall filter baskets should be used when grinding fresh whole coee beans. These allows you to experiment with grind and dose to create a more balanced espresso. Dual Wall Filter Baskets 1 CUP 2 CUP Dual Wall filter baskets should be used when using pre-ground coee and older beans that are past the 30-day roast date. These regulate the pressure and helps to optimize the extraction regardless of the grind, dose, or freshness.14 THE GRIND Setting the Grind Size FINER GRIND SIZE TURN COARSER GRIND SIZE TURN The grind size will aect the rate of water flow through the coee 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 25settings on the GRIND SIZE dial. To adjust the grind, rotate the dial to the back of the machine to go finer, or rotate the dial towards the front of the machine to go coarser. The smaller the number, the finer the grind size. The larger the number, the coarser the grind size. We recommend you start at the No.16setting and adjust as required. NOTE

• When making changes to the grind size, the new auto dosing time will be calculated after your next tamp and updated for the dose cycle following that.

• For most bean varieties, the grinder will automatically switch o when the beans get too low to complete a dose. TIP Changing the grind size aects the dose in the portafilter. A finer grind size may cause an under dose requiring ‘A Bit More’. A coarser grind size may cause an over dose. To avoid an over dose, press and hold the ‘Filter’ button for 3seconds, reducing the grind time by 3seconds. DOSING

• Ensure the bean hopper is locked on the machine and filled with fresh coee beans.

• Insert the filter basket required, into the portafilter.

• Insert the portafilter securely into the dosing cradle.

• Press ‘Dose’ button to start grinding. The light blinks until grind cycle is completed. DOSE NOTE If the ‘Dose’ button is not illuminated, check that the portafilter is inserted securely in the cradle, the bean hopper is locked in position and the tamp lever is in the up-home position.EN

TAMPING When the grind cycle is completed, the ‘Tamp’ light indicator blinks.

• Push the lever downwards to the end position until a beep sound plays. This will tamp the coee grinds in the portafilter using a consistent amount of tamp force. Pushing the lever slowly and consistently will help to improve the puck appearance. BEEP!

• Release the lever slowly upwards to the home position after tamping. TIP It is recommended to tamp twice to achieve a very polished coee puck. Below is a table of DOSE LEVEL indicator bars: DOSE LEVEL TAMP DOSE LEVEL TAMP DOSE LEVEL TAMP DOSE LEVEL TAMP DOSE LEVEL TAMP Ideal Severe Under Dose Under Dose (under middle bar) Over Dose (above middle bar) Severe Over Dose

• The bar on the machine indicates ideal tamp level and the right amount of coee grind is in the portafilter. This is the level that you are aiming for.16

HOW TO CORRECT AN UNDER OR

OVER DOSE? An under or over dose can occur when fresh beans are added to the hopper; when coee beans age; a dierent type of coee bean is used or if a change is made to the grind size. What to do when dose level is below the ideal middle bar?

• When tamp is below the ideal middle bar, the machine is switched to ‘A Bit More’ mode, the ‘Dose’ button light will flash. DOSE

• Press the ‘Dose’ button to add ‘A Bit More’ grinds to the portafilter, then complete a tamp for an updated dose level reading.

• When ideal dose level is reached, the machine will automatically update the auto dose time for the next cycle. What to do when dose level is above the ideal middle bar?

• When tamp is above the ideal middle bar, remove the portafilter from the cradle.

• Use the Razor Trimming Tool. (refer to Trimming the Dose section)

• The machine will calculate how much to reduce the auto grind time and apply this for the next cycle.

DEDUCT TIME FROM AUTO DOSE

When an over dose is anticipated to occur before grinding, due to; changing to a coarser grind size, changing beans, or running out of beans on previous grind cycle; press and hold the ‘Filter’ button for 3seconds. DOSING MODES Automatic Dosing MANUAL DOSE AUTO MANUAL This is the default dose function of the machine and the mode that will be most commonly used. The amount of coee grinds will automatically dose into the portafilter, and the machine will provide guidance on achieving the ideal amount through the Dose Level Gauge. The machine will adjust the ideal dose on the next grind. Under Dose (A Bit More) After tamping the ‘Dose’ button will flash to indicate more grinds is needed into the portafilter. Press the ‘Dose’ button to add ‘A Bit More’ coee grinds. Dose Top-up This feature is ideal when the portafilter already has coee but needs more. For example, in situations where:

• Removing the portafilter during grinding and failing to re-insert within 5seconds time out.

• Removing the portafilter after a full grind cycle without tamping skimming o the top of the coee pile. The machine can top up from that amount already in the portafilter basket preventing coee waste, starting a fresh grind cycle, or updating the auto grind time. To initiate the top up, the portafilter will need to be inserted into the cradle and tamped. If the tamp level displays an under dose, the ‘Dose’ button willEN

blink indicating a top up. Press the ‘Dose’ button to start the grind and it will dose the right amount to get the ideal level. NOTE

• This feature is only available on ‘Auto’ mode.

• This feature may require 2to3 top up cycles to reach an ideal dose.

• The set auto grind time will not be aected by this feature.

• Machine will not start a top up with an over dose or ideal level. Remove the portafilter and trim the excess with the razor. Over Dose (Trimming the Dose) the Razor

precision dose trimming tool allows you to trim the puck to the right level for a consistent extraction. Insert the Razor

into the coee basket until the shoulders of the tool rest on the rim of the filter basket. The blade of the dosing tool should penetrate the surface of the tamped coee. Rotate the Razor

dosing tool back and forth while holding the portafilter on an angle over the knock box to trim o excess coee. Manual Dosing MANUAL DOSE AUTO MANUAL Press the ‘Manual Dose’ button to switch to manual dose mode. The light around the Manual Dose Dial and the Manual light will illuminate when in manual mode. Select the dose amount by turning the dial clockwise for more or counterclockwise for less grind time. Grinder Purge It is recommended to purge the retained grinds left in the burrs or chute prior to making the first coee of the day. Old grinds may aect the in-cup quality and coee taste. Purging will ensure only fresh coee makes it into your cup. To purge, press and hold the ‘Dose’ button. The grind will start after 0.5seconds, and it will stop once the ‘Dose’ button is released. In auto mode, after doing a purge it is required to remove the portafilter, discard the grind from the basket and re-insert the portafilter into the grinding cradle to return the machine to its standby mode.18

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 1CUP button. This will purge any ground coee residue from the group head and stabilize the temperature prior to extraction. Inserting the Portafilter Wipe excess coee grinds from the rim of the filter basket to ensure a proper seal is achieved in the group head. 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

• As a guide, the espresso will start to flow after 8-12seconds (infusion time) and should be the consistency of dripping honey.

• If the espresso starts to flow before 7seconds 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 12seconds, then you have either over dose 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 bitterness. The flavor of your coee will depend on many factors, such as the type of coee beans, degree of roast, freshness, coarseness or fineness of the grind, and the dose of ground coee. Experiment by adjusting these factors just one at a time to achieve the taste of your preference.EN

• Press and hold the 1CUP or 2CUP button for the desired pre-infusion time.

• Release the button to start the extraction.

• Press the 1CUP or 2CUP button again to stop the extraction. NOTE Pressing any button during extraction will stop extraction and the machine will return to standby mode.

PROGRAMMING SHOT VOLUME

• Press and hold both the 1CUP and 2CUP buttons for 3seconds, the buttons will illuminate and flash.

• Press the 1CUP button to start the extraction.

• Press the 1CUP button again to stop the extraction. The modified volume will be saved. To set the 2CUP volume, follow the above steps but select the 2CUP button to start and stop the extraction.20

The machine has a dedicated hot water outlet.

• Turn the dial on the right, from STANDBY to HOT WATER.

• Turn the dial back to STANDBY to stop hot water flow.

• Maximum flow out of hot water volume is 8fl.oz(240ml). WARNING Cup temperature is approximately 194°F(90°C). Be careful in handling hot beverages. TEXTURING MILK There are two phases to texturing milk, stretching, and heating. These two operations should blend into one with the goal being silky smooth textured milk at the correct temperature.

• Start with fresh cold milk of choice.

• Fill the milk jug between the min and max level.

• Position the steam tip over the drip tray and turn the dial from STANDBY to STEAM and wait until the steam is flowing strongly.

• Turn the steam dial to the STANDBY position to pause the steam, then within 8seconds, insert steam wand tip into milk jug and turn dial back to STEAM position.

• Insert the steam tip 1-2cm below the surface of the milk close to the right-hand side of the jug at the 3o’clock position.

• Keep the tip just under the surface of the milk until the milk is spinning clockwise, producing a vortex (whirlpool eect).EN

• With the milk spinning, slowly lower the jug. This will bring the steam tip to the surface of the milk and 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 sucient volume is obtained.

• Lower the tip beneath the surface but keep the vortex of milk spinning. The milk is at the correct temperature 140-149°F (60-65°C) when the jug is hot to comfortably touch.

• Move the steam dial to the STANDBY position before taking the tip out of the milk.

• Set the jug to one side, turn dial to STEAM to purge out any residual milk from the steam wand and wipe steam wand with a damp cloth.

• 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.

CAUTION: BURN HAZARD

Pressurized steam can still be released, even after machine has been switched o. Children must always be supervised. Adjusting Water Temperature Dierent beans may require dierent water temperatures to extract their optimum flavor.
