Getting Started

Drip Tray

■ Remove the packaging from the drip tray before using the machine.

General Information

Espresso is sensitive to bean selection and grind size. We recommend to start with a grind size of 7 to 9. Overly fine grounds may result in clogging and short shots. See page 14 for instructions on dialing in your perfect shot.

Place drip tray in place prior to powering the machine on. Machine purges when powered on.

Functions

Buttons

Power

Press the Power button to turn on the espresso machine.

Grind

Press the Grind button once for a single espresso and twice quickly for a double espresso.

Single (Espresso)

Espresso is a full-flavored coffee drink served as a concentrated shot. Cappuccinos, Flat Whites, and Lattes are all made with an espresso shot.

Default setting: 13-15-grams of coffee yields 30 mL of espresso (1oz)

Double

This will create a cup that has double the water and extraction time.

Default setting: 18-20 grams of coffee yields 60 mL of espresso (2oz).

NOTE: Coffee ground amounts and espresso volumes may vary depending on bean type and machine settings.

NOTE: Using an overly coarse grind will result in an overflowing portafilter and weaker coffee. Larger grind sizes can be used for other coffee types.

NOTE: Using an overly fine grind size may result in not enough grounds to fill the filter, as well as overpressure. Finer grind settings are included for user to adjust grind size as grinder dulls with use.

To set Default Dispense Amount:

Press and hold Single, Double, or Grind until the desired amount of liquid or grounds is dispensed. Stop pressing the button to save the new amount.

NOTE: Espresso volumes are inherently small, and the range of volume adjustment is finite. If the dispense is not stopped during changing the default volume, the machine will default to the maximum setting.

NOTE: Changes to volumes may affect the flavor of the espresso.

NOTE: To return the machine to factory default settings press and hold Single, Double, and Grind buttons for 3 seconds.

NOTE: Only the Single shot grind amount can be adjusted manually. To adjust Double grind amount, refer to the SmartHQ app.

Control Knob

Steam

Steam is used to heat up liquids through the steam wand.

CAUTION

To avoid possible burns

to body parts and/or other injury from hot steam, do not touch liquids or steam wand during or after steaming. Do not remove pitcher until steaming is complete. Hold milk pitcher by the handle.

Hot Water

The Hot Water function dispenses hot water from the steam wand. No coffee is used during this function.

Alerts

Grinder

The Grinder indicator will appear for one of three reasons.

Bean Hopper Removed: The Grinder indicator will illuminate SOLID RED if the hopper is removed or not locked into place. Place hopper into the machine and rotate to locked position to resolve.

Locked Rotor: The Grinder indicator will FLASH RED when the grinder is locked up or blocked. Clear grinder with provided brushes to resolve. Locked rotor error can be removed after the issue is resolved and grinding repeated, machine times out or is powered down. Refer to page 16.

Continuous Runtime: The Grinder indicator will FLASH WHITE, meaning the grinder has been running for at least 3 minutes and needs to cool down for 6 minutes. Once the grinder has cooled, the indicator will disappear and the machine is ready to use again.

Add Water

Add water indicator appears when water tank is low on water or water tank is missing.

WiFi

Your espresso machine is WiFi compatible. See page 20 for how to connect and use the SmartHQ app.

Clean

Clean alert will appear when it is time to run a descale cycle for best operation and life span of the machine. See page 15 for descaling process.

NOTE: If there is a delay longer than a few seconds between heating and steaming, the heating will shut off and need to be repeated.

1. Turn the control knob back to neutral when complete.

NOTE: Use a hot, wet cloth to wipe off steam wand after every use. It is also recommended to purge the steam wand immediately after every use by quickly turning Steam back on for a short time.

NOTE: After every steam cycle your machine will automatically release internal pressure as it is cooling down by slowly pumping access water and steam into the drip tray. Steam coming out of the drip tray is normal during this process. DO NOT remove the drip tray until the process is complete.

Hot Water

NOTE: If using the Hot Water function after steam, allow the machine to dispense excess steam before using this function per note above.

NOTE: Hot water volume and temperature can be adjusted via the SmartHQ app.

1. Place your desired cup or milk pitcher provided under the steam wand.

2. Turn the control knob on the front of the espresso machine to Hot Water.

Using Your Espresso Machine

How to Wake the Machine

Make sure the control knob is in the neutral position. Press the Power button to wake the machine.

Turn On/Off Sounds

Press and hold the Single and Grind buttons together for 3 seconds to turn off all sounds.

Factory Reset

Press and hold the Grind, Single and Double buttons together for 3 seconds to turn reset all programmable settings back to the factory settings.

Overpressure

This means the coffee grounds are too small, there are too many grounds, or the grounds are packed too tight in the portafilter. Overpressure is indicated by all functional button lights FLASHING WHITE. To fix, dispose of grounds, and try again by increasing the ground size, decreasing the dosage, or tamping the grounds with less pressure.

Overpressure may occur more often at first, especially with finer grind sizes.

Portafilter and Filters

To remove filters from the portafilter, use the flat end of the cleaning brush to lift the filter out of the portafilter.

If there is too much resistance while inserting the portafilter into the group-head, there are too many coffee grounds in the filter. Remove some grounds and try again.

Ground puck may be difficult to remove from the filter. Use an utensil to remove grounds. Excessive impact to portafilter to remove grounds may result in damage.

Single and Double Layer Filters

- Double Layer filters provide more consistent results between varying grind sizes and bean types and generally result in more crema.

- Single Layer filters are more sensitive to grind size adjustments and bean types but allow for more adjustability.

Using Your Espresso Machine

Dial In Instructions

Dial in your machine by altering the different parameters to create the best tasting shot for a particular coffee choice. Once the machine is “dialed-in”, you can create repeatable results with ease.

1. Select a desired grind size. (Setting 7-9 is the recommended starting point)
2. Grind and weigh coffee for an espresso shot (18-20g worth of grounds for double, 13-15g for single). Directions on how to change the grind function are on page 9.
3. Gently tap the sides of the portafilter to even out the coffee distribution.
4. Tamp firmly to create a level surface, wipe the excess coffee grounds from the edges of the portafilter and brew your espresso.
5. Weigh the liquid espresso to find the brew ratio. Brew ratios are personal preference, but can be used to guide your taste as well.

- Brew ratio is defined as the ratio of coffee grounds in the portafilter to liquid espresso.

- Example: If 18g of coffee grounds yields 36g of liquid espresso, this is a 1:2 brew ratio.

Ristretto 1:1 to 1:2

Espresso 1:2 to 1:3

Lungo 1:3 to 1:4

- The water volume can be increased or decreased to alter the brew ratio. Directions on how to do so are on page 9 of the manual.

1. Aim for a brew time between 20-40 seconds for your shot.

2. Time is recorded from when the function starts to when espresso stops dispensing into cup.

3. If time is below range, use a finer setting or larger water volume.

4. If time is above range, use a coarser setting or lesser water volume.

5. If brew time is within range, taste the espresso.

Sour shot Use a	finer setting or larger water volume.
Bitter shot Use a	coarser setting or lesser water volume.
These are guidelines, adjust per preference.

Other Tips

• It is important to only change one parameter at a time, and keep other variables constant through this process.
• If you prefer a milk-based espresso drink, taste the espresso with your milk choice as it will affect the flavor profile.

Care and Cleaning

WARNING

Allow heating element to completely cool to avoid risk of fire or

injury and disconnect power prior to cleaning or service.

CAUTION

To avoid possible burns to body parts and/or other injury from

hot steam, do not touch liquids or steam wand during or after frothing. Do not remove pitcher until steaming is complete. Hold milk pitcher by the handle.

■ Press and hold the Power and Double button together for 3 seconds to put the machine into system emptying mode.
■ The machine will beep once and Power and Double will flash to confirm the action.
■ The system will empty water into the drip tray and return to idle when complete.

Checking Your Water Hardness

Included with the machine is a Water Hardness Test Kit. Please follow the instructions on the package using the same water that will be used to make espresso. Once results are gathered, please refer to the SmartHQ app to set the water hardness level.

Tips

Espresso is often mistakenly thought of as a drink made with darker roast beans. Some coffee roasters even mark their product as "Espresso Coffee". This is misleading because espresso is mainly distinguished from other coffee drinks by the correct grind size and brew process, not the type, origin, or roast of the coffee beans. Any coffee bean can be used in making your espresso!
■ Use the hot water button to heat up your espresso cup before brewing. Espresso has a very small volume and will cool quicker if brewed in a cold cup.
■ Some functions can be adjusted within the SmartHQ App to meet your specific preferences or coffee type. Reference the SmartHQ section on page 20.
The top of the espresso machine can act as a cup warmer if left on for an extended period of time. If using the machine for longer than an hour, place your cups on the top of the machine to heat them up before use.
- Milks or Milk substitutes with higher fat contents are better at creating a creamier, thicker foam, while Low/Non-fat Milk or Milk substitutes are better at creating a lighter foam with larger bubbles.
It is recommended that the edge of the tamper is aligned with the edge of the portafilter when tamping. Adjust the amount of grounds to achieve optimal coffee puck thickness.

Your espresso machine can be used to make an unlimited number of espresso based drinks. Frothed milk drinks like Cappuccinos and Lattes are classics admired by many.

Make sure to brew espresso BEFORE using steam. Steam function requires higher temperatures than espresso and brewing espresso immediately after steaming will affect the taste of espresso.

Cappuccino

This drink is made with espresso, milk, and large amount of microfoam. Do not fill the milk pitcher above half way to avoid microfoam overflow during steaming. Frothed milk may be as much as doubled in volume.

Latte

This drink uses espresso and steamed milk with a smaller head of foam.

■ How to steam milk:

NOTE: Steam wand may purge hot water while preheating. Introduce steam wand into milk after preheating.

1. After steam is preheated and ready, place the tip of the steam wand right under the surface of the milk at the edge of the milk pitcher at approximately a 45^ angle to create a vortex. Start steaming. The longer milk is steamed under the surface the more microfoam is created. Once desired amount of microfoam is reached, dip the steam wand lower into the milk and continue to steam until desired temperature is reached. Place a hand under the pitcher to feel the change in temperature. Once the bottom is warm enough to feel uncomfortable, optimal temperature is achieved.
2. Large bubbles can be broken into smaller bubbles by light tapping of the milk pitcher.

NOTE: To heat up milk, you want to position the steam wand lower into the pitcher to prevent air from entering the milk and creating bubbles. This will result in a steamed milk with a smaller head of foam.
