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

• DO NOT use highly ltered, 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, 1 CUP and 2 CUP lter baskets. Use the 1 CUP lter basket when brewing a single cup and the 2 CUP lter baskets when brewing 2 cups 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 lter baskets are designed for: 1 CUP lter basket = 8-11g 2 CUP lter basket = 16-19g Single Wall Filter Baskets 1 CUP 2 CUP Single Wall lter 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 lter 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.EN

THE GRIND Setting the Grind Size FINER GRIND SIZE TURN COARSER GRIND SIZE TURN The grind size will aect the rate of water ow through the coee in the lter basket and the avour of the espresso. When setting the grind size, it should be ne but not too ne and powdery. There are 25 settings on the GRIND SIZE dial. To adjust the grind, rotate the dial to the back of the machine to go ner, or rotate the dial towards the front of the machine to go coarser. The smaller the number, the ner the grind size. The larger the number, the coarser the grind size. We recommend you start at the No.16 setting 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 portalter. A ner 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 3 seconds, reducing the grind time by 3 seconds. DOSING

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

• Insert the lter basket required, into the portalter.

• 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 portalter is inserted securely in the cradle, the bean hopper is locked in position and the tamp lever is in the up-home position.12 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 portalter 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 portalter. This is the level that you are aiming for.EN

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 ash. DOSE

• Press the ‘Dose’ button to add 'A Bit More' grinds to the portalter, 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 portalter 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 3 seconds. 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 portalter, 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 ash to indicate more grinds is needed into the portalter. Press the ‘Dose’ button to add ‘A Bit More’ coee grinds. Dose Top-up This feature is ideal when the portalter already has coee but needs more. For example, in situations where:

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

• Removing the portalter 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 portalter basket preventing coee waste, starting a fresh grind cycle, or updating the auto grind time. To initiate the top up, the portalter will need to be inserted into the cradle and tamped. If the tamp level displays an under dose, the dose button will 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.14 NOTE

• This feature is only available on 'Auto' mode.

• This feature may require 2 to 3 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 portalter 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 lter 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 portalter on an angle over the knock box to trim o excess coee. Manual Dosing

MANUAL DOSEAUTO 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 counter clockwise for less grind time. Grinder Purge It is recommended to purge the retained grinds left in the burrs or chute prior to making the rst 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 0.5 seconds, and it will stop once the ‘Dose’ button is released. In auto mode, after doing a purge it is required to remove the portalter, discard the grind from the basket and re-insert the portalter into the grinding cradle to return the machine to its standby mode.EN

Purging the Group Head Before placing the portalter into the group head, run a short ow of water through the group head by pressing the 1 CUP button. This will purge any ground coee residue from the group head and stabilize the temperature prior to extraction. Inserting the Portalter Wipe excess coee grinds from the rim of the lter basket to ensure a proper seal is achieved in the group head. Place the portalter underneath the group head so that the handle is aligned with the INSERT position. Insert the portalter into the group head and rotate the handle towards the centre until resistance is felt. Extracting Espresso

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

• If the espresso starts to ow before 7 seconds you have either under dosed the lter basket and/or the grind is too coarse. This is an UNDER-EXTRACTED shot.

• If the espresso starts to drip but doesn’t ow after 12 seconds, then you have either over dose the lter basket and/or the grind is too ne. This is an OVER-EXTRACTED shot. A great espresso is about achieving the perfect balance between sweetness, acidity, and bitterness. The avour of your coee will depend on many factors, such as the type of coee beans, degree of roast, freshness, coarseness or neness 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.16 EXTRACTION GUIDE OPTIMUM 8-11g (1 CUP) 16-19g (2 CUP) 25-30 SEC BALANCED

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

• Release the button to start the extraction.• Press the 1 CUP or 2 CUP 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 1 CUP and 2 CUP buttons for 3 seconds, the buttons will illuminate and ash.

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

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 ow.• Maximum ow out of hot water volume is 240 ml. WARNING Cup temperature is approximately 90°C (194°F). Be careful in handling hot beverages.EN

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 owing strongly.

• Turn the steam dial to the STANDBY position to pause the steam, then within 8 seconds, 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 3 o’clock position.

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

• 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 (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.
