3 Tips for Brewing

• To extract the fullest flavor from your coffee beans, we recommend using whole coffee beans that have been freshly ground each time espresso is prepared.
• In addition to the coffee used, using fresh cold water that is free of chlorine, odors and other impurities will help ensure the perfect espresso.
• Store your espresso grounds in an airtight container, and in a cool, dry place to retain the flavor. Grounds should not be kept for long periods of time as the flavor will be reduced.
• Do not fill your portafilter (7) and selected sieve to the brim. Using the coffee scoop included, use 1 level spoon (13) of grounds per shot of espresso.
• If you do not use the machine for more than 5 consecutive days, rinse and drain the water tank (3).

• Before removing the water tank (3) to fill or empty it, always turn the machine off.
  • Always place the unit on a flat, stable, heat-resistant work surface.

• To ensure your espresso stays at optimum temperature, we recommend that you preheat your cups.

• Before brewing, the portafilter (7) must be turned to the right as tight as possible to prevent the portafilter from loosening due to high pressure.

CAUTION: In order to avoid possible burns to body parts and/or other injury from hot steam and water or damages to the machine.

1. Never remove the water tank

(3) or the portafilter (7) while your machine is brewing espresso or frothing milk. The Control Knob (5) should be in the "O" position before you remove the portafilter (7) to make additional cups of espresso. If you need to add more water to the tank, turn the Control Knob to the "O" position and power off the machine by pressing the Power Button (11) on the side of the machine so that the blue light is turned off.

3 Tips for Brewing

1. If espresso does not flow from the portafilter (7) (only drips very slowly), the sieve is blocked. Turn off the appliance and allow it to cool down. Check that the coffee is not too finely ground, chapter 5a.
2. Use caution when removing the portafilter (7). The metal parts may still be very hot. There may also be hot water floating on the top of the ground coffee. Hold the portafilter only by its handle and dispose of the brewed coffee grounds by using the thumb guard.
3. If steam is not released from the frothing wand (10), the frother is blocked. Turn off the appliance and allow it to cool down. Clean the frothing wand as described in chapter 8b.
4. In order for your machine to work properly time after time, clean the frothing sleeve (12), frothing wand (10), and frothing tip after each use.

4 Operation and use

The Power Button will light solid blue while the indicator light on the Control Knob (5) will start to blink, indicating the machine is heating up.

Rinse the internal components before making espresso. Fill the water tank and pump a few ounces of water through the brew head (6) and the frothing wand (10). Follow the procedure in chapter 4 for "Warming Internal Components & Cups" to rinse the machine before first use.

4.2 Filling the Water Tank

Remove the water tank (3) by lifting up on the handle (2). Open the lid (1) and fill the water tank with fresh cold water between the MIN and MAX markings.

Close the lid (1) and replace the water tank by pushing down firmly, to ensure the tank is properly engaged.

4 Operation and use

4.3 Control Panel

4.3.1 The Power Button

The Power Button (11) on the side of the machine turns the machine on and off. When the machine is turned on, the indicator light on the Control Knob (5) will start to blink red, signifying that the machine is warming up the heating system. The initial heat-up time is under one minute at normal room temperature. When the indicator light illuminates solid blue, the internal components are heated and ready to brew coffee. To turn the machine off, ensure the Control Knob is in the "O" position and press the Power Button on the side of the machine to turn it off.

4.3.2 The Control Knob

The Control Knob (5) has three positions:

Position	Symbol	Explanation
Left brewin		coffee
Middle		standby, cup warming, preparedness
Right steam		production through the frothing spout

During brewing or steaming, the indicator light inside the Control Knob (5) may start to blink or change color, specifying the heating system is on, maintaining the proper temperature for brewing or steaming.

4 Operation and use

Always turn the Control Knob (5) to the "O" position before turning off the machine.

4.3.3 Warming Internal Components & Cups

Before making espresso, it is important to pre-warm all the internal components in the appliance and the cups. This short procedure will add 10° to 15° F to the first cup of espresso.

1. Fill the water tank (3) with fresh cold water as described in chapter.
2. Make sure the Control Knob (5) is in the "O" position.
3. Turn on the machine by pressing the Power Button (11) located on the side of the machine. The indicator light on the Control Knob (5) begins to blink red as the machine begins to heat.
4. Place the sieve inside the portafilter (7) (without coffee) 3 for proper sieve placement.

5. Make sure the thumb guard does not cover the sieve.

6. Align the portafilter (7) to the "INSERT" on the left side of the brew head (6), while pushing the portafilter up. Turn the portafilter firmly to the right towards the "LOCK" on the middle of the brew head, until it feels tight.

In the beginning it might not be possible to turn the portafilter all the way to the "LOCK" position. Just make sure the portafilter is firmly placed. Over time the portafilter can be moved closer to the "LOCK" position.

1. Place one or two espresso cups underneath the portafilter. Once the indicator light illuminates solid blue, the machine is ready for coffee brewing.
2. Turn the Control Knob (5) to the left towards the "Cup icon". Hot water will be pumped through the portafilter (7) into the cups.
3. Turn the Control Knob (5) back to the center towards the "O" to stop the flow of hot water.

4 Operation and use

CAUTION: Never leave the machine unattended during brewing or steaming. You always must turn the Control Knob (5) back to the center position towards the "O" position to stop brewing.

1. Empty the cups and remove the portafilter (7). All parts are now pre-warmed. TIP! Place espresso cups upside down on the warming platform (4) on top of the machine. When the machine has been turned on for approximately 15 minutes, the warming platform will be heated and can be used to pre-warm cups instead of using hot water from the machine.

5 Preparing

5.1 Preparing Espresso

5.1.1 Selecting the Coffee Grind

This is an important step in the espresso making process as the finely ground coffee must have uniform consistency.

• The correct grind should look like salt.
• If the grind is too fine, the water will not flow through the coffee and cause too much pressure to build up in the machine. These grinds look like powder and feel like flour when rubbed between fingers.

- If the grind is too coarse, the water flows through the coffee too quickly, preventing a full-flavored extraction. Tip! Be sure to use a quality burr grinder for uniform consistency. Blade coffee grinders are not recommended for espresso brewing because the grind is not as consistent.

- If you are experiencing problems with taste (bitter, sour, under extracted, etc.) adjust the grind size of the coffee and/or switch the brand or roast of whole bean coffee.

5.1.2 Preparing the Machine for Brewing

1. Make sure the indicator light is illuminated solid blue and the Control Knob (5) is in the "O" position.
2. Make sure there is water in the water tank (3) and your cup(s) are prewarmed as described in earlier chapters.
3. Make sure the drip tray (9) and drip tray grid (8) are placed correctly on the unit.

5.1.3 Filling and Inserting the Portafilter

1. Select from the two sieves (14-15) that come with your machine depending on the amount of cups you wish to prepare (1 or 2 cups).

5 Preparing

1. Place the sieve in the portafilter (7) and ensure it sits level.
2. Fill the selected sieve with fresh, finely ground coffee. Clean any excess coffee from the rim of the portafilter (7). This will assure proper fit under the brew head (6).
3. Tamp or compress coffee using the flat side of the coffee scoop/tamper (13). Do not overfill the sieve. This might cause clogging or overflow.
4. Position portafilter (7) underneath the brew head (6) and align the portafilter to "INSERT" while pushing the portafilter up. Turn the portafilter firmly to the right towards "LOCK" until it feels tight.

5.1.4 Brewing Espresso

If you are planning to make cappuccino, please refer to the next section "Making Cappuccino" after reading "Brewing Espresso."

1. After you prepare the machine and ground coffee as described in the previous sections you are ready to start brewing your espresso.
2. Place 1 or 2 small cups under the portafilter (7). For brewing two cups at a time, you can place the cups under the portafilter ensuring each one of them is directly under one of the two spouts.

3. Once the indicator light in the center of the Control Knob (5) illuminates solid blue, the machine is heated to the proper temperature. Rotate the Control Knob to the left towards the "Cup icon", to start brewing. The pump is audible for a short moment as the grounds are pre-infused with water. Then, after a short pause, the espresso will begin to flow into the cup(s).

4. When the cup is filled to the desired level, turn the Control Knob (7) back to the "O" position. Keep cup(s) under the spouts for an additional few seconds to be sure all of the espresso has dripped out.

5 Preparing

CAUTION: The machine must be turned off manually. Do not leave machine unattended while brewing. You must manually stop the brewing process. This will avoid overflow, spillage and potential hazards and damages.

After the espresso is brewed, the machine automatically creates a bit of steam and pushes the remaining water from the pump into the drip tray (9). This ensures that there will be no rest-water in the heating system. After preparing a few cups of espresso, carefully pull the drip tray out of the machine, empty and replace.

1. After the machine has cooled down, carefully remove the portafilter from the brew head (6) by holding it by the handle and pulling it towards the left. Using the thumb guard to secure the sieve in the portafilter, turn the portafilter (7) upside down to empty. Rinse the sieve and portafilter with water.

2. If you wish to brew additional espresso, repeat the process above. Add freshly ground coffee into the sieve as described in chapter 5c, "Filling and Inserting the Portafilter," lock the portafilter (7) back underneath the brew head (6) and follow the instructions to brew espresso again (items 2-5 from this section).

3. Once you have prepared the desired amount of espresso, make sure the Control Knob (5) is in the "O" position and turn off the machine by pressing the Power Button (11) on the side of the machine. Allow the machine to cool down before removing parts and accessories prior to cleaning.

5 Preparing

1. For cleaning instructions, refer to chapter 8.

CAUTION: The metal parts of the portafilter (7) might still be very hot. Always use caution when handling the machine and the removable parts. Make sure to use the thumb guard when discarding the grounds. Cool these parts by running under cold water.

5.1.5 Making Cappuccino

Cappuccino is the combination of one or two shots of espresso with an equal or larger amount of hot milk and milk froth.

When frothing the sieve and portafilter (7) should be assembled in the "LOCK" position. For best results always start with fresh, cold milk (about 34°F).

5 Preparing

Do not use a pitcher which has just been washed in warm water. We also recommend a beverage thermometer for preparing the best frothed and steamed milk. The ideal end temperature for frothed or steamed milk is between 140°F - 165°F. Any type of milk can be used when frothing. Whole milk will produce good microfoam (small bubbles) while low-fat and fat-free milk will produce large, airy bubbles in the froth. Non-dairy milks will not hold the froth as well but can be steamed and heated for lattes.

5.1.6 Frothing Milk

1. First prepare espresso into a large, pre-heated cup as described in chapter 5d, "Brewing Espresso".
2. Fill a small stainless steel or ceramic pitcher 1/2 full with cold milk and set aside.
3. Before frothing, it is recommended to purge the frothing wand (10) of any hot water. Place a cup under the frothing wand (or turn the frothing wand directly into the drip tray (9)). Once the indicator light is solid blue, turn the Control Knob (5) to the right towards the "Steam icon". The indicator light blinks red for 5-8 seconds while the water is purged from the wand. Once the water is purged, the indicator light will turn blue, and steam is produced from the frothing wand. Turn the Control Knob back to the "O" position. The indicator light is now illuminated red indicating the machine is ready to froth/steam milk.

5 Preparing

1. Take the cold pitcher of milk and submerge the frothing wand (10) (with frothing sleeve (12) assembled) about two thirds into the milk inside the pitcher. Make sure the frothing sleeve does not hit the bottom of the pitcher during frothing.
2. With the frothing wand (10) submerged into the milk, turn the Control Knob (5) to the right towards the "Steam icon".
3. Steam will start to exit the frothing wand (10) releasing hot steam into the milk. During frothing, the machine's pump will make intermittent noise indicating that water is being pumped through the heating system to be converted into steam.

CAUTION: To avoid splattering of hot milk, do not let the opening of the frothing wand (10) go above the surface of the milk. Keep the frothing wand submerged in the milk during the entire frothing process.

CAUTION: Never remove the frothing wand (10) from the milk while the Control Knob (5) is still in the steam position. Always turn the Control Knob to the "O" position before removing the frothing wand from the milk or it could cause hot milk to splatter.

During brewing or steaming, the indicator light may turn off, change color, or blink, specifying the heating system is active and maintaining the proper temperature for brewing or steaming.

1. When the milk has doubled in volume, or, if you are using a beverage thermometer, when the milk has reached 165°F (68°C), turn the Control Knob (5) back to the "O" position.

5 Preparing

Carefully clean the frothing wand (10) and frothing sleeve (12) with a wet cloth immediately after steaming to avoid milk build up. Take care to avoid contact with hot parts.

1. Pour the frothed milk into the prepared espresso, now the cappuccino is ready. Sweeten to taste and add any ingredients you desire such as flavored syrups, extracts or cocoa powder/spices.

After frothing, we recommended you allow the machine to cool down for at least 5 minutes before making espresso again. This allows the machine to cool down from steaming temperature to the proper espresso brewing temperature. If indicator light is red, you may turn Control Knob (5) to the left to run water through the portafilter (7). This will cool down the system so espresso can be made after steaming. If multiple cappuccinos will be made, prepare all the es-pressos first into hot cups and then froth the milk after.

5 Preparing

1. Follow the instructions in point 3 above to purge the frothing wand (10) and to flush out any residual milk from the frothing wand and frothing tip. It is important to properly clean your frothing wand and frothing tip and wash the frothing sleeve (12) after each use to ensure the frother continues to work properly.

2. Turn the machine off by pressing the Power Button (11) on the side of the machine. Unplug the power cord and allow the machine to cool.

CAUTION: After frothing or steaming milk, the frothing wand (10), frothing tip, and frothing sleeve (12) will be VERY HOT! Do not contact metal parts! To avoid potential injury, always make sure that all parts have cooled down completely before handling.

5.1.7 Making Latte

Latte is the combination of one or two shots of espresso with an equal or larger amount of hot steamed milk with very little or no froth. Without the frothing sleeve (12), the frothing wand (10) will steam, not froth the milk. Remove the frothing sleeve then proceed with steaming the milk as described in chapter 6. Pour hot, steamed milk over espresso. Follow steps 9 & 10 above in chapter 6, "Making Cappuccino" to clean and power down the machine.

CAUTION: After frothing or steaming milk, the frothing wand (10) and frothing tip will be VERY HOT! Do not contact metal parts! To avoid potential injury, always make sure that all parts have cooled down completely before handling.

6 Cleaning and Maintaining Your Machine

6.1 Daily Cleaning

1. Always make sure the Control Knob (5) is in the ""O"" position and the machine is powered off by pressing the Power Button (11) on the side of the machine so that the blue light is turned off. Unplug the cord from the outlet and allow all of the parts to cool before cleaning.
2. Remove and wash the frothing sleeve (12) and wipe the frothing wand (10) with a damp cloth.
3. The water tank (3), sieves and drip tray (9) can be washed in a solution of hot water and mild liquid soap.
