Sunbeam's Safety Precautions

FOR YOUR SUNBEAM BARISTA PLUS ESPRESSO MACHINE WITH GRINDER AND TIMER:

• Always place the unit on a flat, level surface.
- Do not place in a cabinet when in use.
- Do not operate without water in reservoir. Fill Water Reservoir with only clean and cold water. Observe the maximum filling volume is 2.8 litres.
- Check the Bean Hopper for the presence of foreign objects before using.
- Do not pour water or any other liquid into the Bean Hopper or Grinder.
- Do not attempt to re-grind ground coffee.
- Do not remove the Group Handle during the espresso pour or water flow as the unit is under pressure. Removing the Group Handle during either of these operations can lead to a scalding or injury.
- The Steam and Hot Water Wand becomes very hot during texturing milk and water flow. This may cause burns in case of contact, therefore avoid any direct contact with the Steam Wand.
- Do not allow the Power Cord to come into contact with the hot parts of the machine, including the Warming Plate & Steam Wand.

  • Do not place hands directly under the steam, hot water or espresso pour as this can lead to a scalding or injury.
  • The temperature of accessible surfaces may be high when the appliance is operating. Even after use, the heating element surface is subject to residual heat after use.
  • Always operate the Grinder with the Bean Hopper inserted in the Grinder.
  • Always switch off and unplug at power outlet before cleaning the Espresso Machine and integrated Grinder.
  • Children should not perform cleaning and user maintenance without supervision.
  • Always switch off and unplug at power outlet if there is any problem during the grinding or coffee making process.
  • Do not place your hand in or near the Burrs while the Grinder is in operation.
  • Always switch off and unplug at power outlet before touching any part of the Grinder that moves during use.
  • Do not use an appliance for any purpose other than its intended use. Injury could occur from misuse.

Grind Timer

When the GRIND light is illuminated, the grinder is ready for use.

The grind timer allows you to measure and adjust the amount of coffee ground to achieve a better extraction.

For example, on grind setting 16 - 20:

1 shot takes 13-17 secs to grind.

2 shots take 19 - 23 to grind.

The higher the grind setting, the shorter the grind time. The lower the grind setting, the longer the grind time.

Shot Timer

When the POUR light is illuminated, the MANUAL, 1 CUP and 2 CUP buttons are ready for use.

The shot timer allows you to target the ideal shot time, giving you the feedback to finesse your grind and tamp settings to achieve a better extraction.

Coffee reaches its optimal flavour between the 20 to 30 second shot time. The shot time can vary between coffee bean and roast type. As a guide, aim to achieve an extraction time between 20 to 30 seconds for both 1 shot and 2 shot pours.

An under extracted shot may taste sour, acidic and watery. An over extracted shot may taste bitter, dry and grainy.

Achieving the perfect shot comes with time practicing. Use the Timer's feedback to adjust your grind and tamp pressure to master your coffee creations.

P. ON/OFF Button & Light

Press button to turn on the machine. The ON/OFF LIGHT will illuminate & pulse to indicate it is heating up.

Temp° IQ Shot Control™

Optimum temperature

SUNBEAM Barista Plus EMM5400 - Optimum temperature - 1

The Temp° IQ Shot Control™ is an exclusive technology developed by Sunbeam for your Barista Plus. This 3 way system delivers the accurate & stable water temperature that is needed for consistently great tasting coffee.

• Thermoblock Technology

The Thermoblock ensures fast heat up, and precise water temperature for the best espresso extraction & milk steaming. Only the required amount of water is heated for speed and efficiency. The Thermoblock heats water so that espresso extracts at 92°C for the optimum extraction of oils from the tamped coffee grinds. Temperatures above or below will result in burnt/bitter or weak tasting espresso.

- Advanced PID Controller

The PID monitors and controls the Thermoblock to ensure water is always delivered to tamped coffee grinds at the precise temperature needed.

•GentlePre-infusion

Small amounts of water are gently introduced onto the tamped coffee grinds prior to the steady flow of water, for a richer flavoured espresso. (For different Pre-infusion profiles, see page 23)

58mm Commercial Size Group Head & Handle

SUNBEAM Barista Plus EMM5400 - 58mm Commercial Size Group Head & Handle - 1

Tips for Grinding & Tamping

1. Coffee Beans

For optimum flavour & extraction:

  • Buy freshly roasted coffee beans in small 250g batches to reduce the storage time.
  • Use within two weeks of opening.
  • Store coffee beans in a dry, airtight container. Place in a cool dark cupboard.

Important: Old coffee beans, no matter the Grind Setting, will have a fast extraction and will produce an under extracted tasting espresso.

2. Grind Setting

You may need to vary the Grind Setting when using different coffee beans and depending on bean freshness. The range of 30 Grind Settings allows for precision adjustment, controlling the grind size & ultimately the characteristics of the resulting extraction. It may take several incremental adjustments before you reach your optimum Grind Setting. Dial in Grind Setting based on pour time & taste see Espresso Extraction Guide.

Barista Tip:

After adjusting the Grind Setting it is important to purge (for 1-2 sec) a small amount of coffee grinds from the Grinder. This removes the coffee grinds of the previous Grind Setting; ensuring the next espresso extraction is made entirely of the coffee grinds from the new Grind Setting.

  • For finer coffee grinds, use a lower grind setting. Finer grinds produce a longer grind time and a slower extraction.
  • For coarser coffee grinds, use a higher grind setting. Coarser grinds produce a shorter grind time and a faster extraction time.

Turn clockwise = finer grind Finer grind = longer grind time & slower extraction 24 22 20 18 16 Turn anti-clockwise = coarser grind Coarser grind = shorter grind time & faster extraction

3. Filter Baskets

- Single Wall Filter Baskets

These work with freshly ground coffee grinds and are supplied with the Barista Plus.

These are available for purchase from Sunbeam. Details are on the back page.

4. Grind Dosage & Tamp Force

For best results, the amount of coffee grinds dosed should remain consistent.

Note: It is normal for the correct dose of coffee grinds to appear overfilled in the Filter Basket before tamping.

Evenly tamp (press) coffee grinds to the level indicated, with firm force 10-15kg.

One Cup Two Cup Tamp Force 10-15kg 13-15g 20-22g

Remember practice makes perfect. Visit Sunbeam Coffee Hub for online barista tutorials.

Tips for Perfect Espresso Extraction

The way the espresso pours will tell you everything.

1. Extraction Pour Time

Extraction Pour Time is a good indicator of the quality of the pour. The optimum time per shot varies between types & freshness of coffee beans. However, in general, the pour time should be between 20-30 seconds for both One & Two Cup shots.

2. Type of Extraction

- Optimum Extraction

A quality pour has a steady flow with a consistency similar to that of warm honey. The resulting crema is dark golden. The sweetest flavours & oils have been extracted creating a rich tasting espresso.

- Under Extraction

The pour is fast & light in colour, the resulting crema is thin with a creamy light brown colour which quickly dissipates. This occurs when too little of the essential

oils, flavours & colours from the coffee grinds have been extracted. This creates a sour tasting espresso.

• Over Extraction

There may be no pour, or it may be slow & drip throughout the entire pour. The resulting crema is very dark. This occurs when too much of the essential oils, flavours & colours from the coffee grinds have been extracted. This creates a bitter tasting espresso.

3. Look for Colour Change

The optimum shot contains 3 elements: Heart: At the base - starts out dark brown. Body: Blends with the heart - becomes a rich caramel with reddish reflections. Crema: The layer on top of the body - dark golden.

^^^ Grind time estimates are based on grind setting 16-20. The higher the grind setting, the shorter the grind time. The lower the grind setting, the longer the grind time.

Tips for Milk Texturing

Milk texturing is the steaming of milk.

Key Elements of Textured Milk

Milk that has been textured correctly has a thick, rich microfoam with a silky sheen. Texturing involves both heating and aerating milk using steam. Vital elements include positioning of the Steam Wand, when to adjust the Milk Jug position and reaching the correct temperature. Use the below steps to help you create café-style microfoam.

1. Fill Milk Jug

Add cold milk around 4^ C into a chilled clean Stainless Steel Jug. Fill to the bottom of the spout.

Note: The volume of milk will increase or 'stretch' during texturing, so don't overfill the Jug.

FILL MAX 4°C

FINISHED MAX

A larger capacity Milk Jug is available for purchase from Sunbeam. Details are on the back page.

2. Steam Warm Up

Turn DIAL to STEAM. For best milk texturing results every time, allow steam to heat up. Steam is ready when STEAM LIGHT is fully ON. You will also hear the Pump start. Pause steam by returning DIAL to the vertical position.

0 STEAM PAUSE 0

3. Position

Place the Steam Wand Arm in the Jug spout at the 12 o'clock position, with the Steam Wand Tip in the milk at the 3 o'clock position, a finger width away from the edge of the Jug. Keep Steam Wand Tip just under the surface of the milk. Turn DIAL back to STEAM position to start texturing. A whirlpool action should be created in the Jug.

12 FINGER WIDTH 3

SUNBEAM Barista Plus EMM5400 - Position - 2

natural_image Illustration of a laboratory setup with a beaker, pipette, and coiled tubing (no text or symbols)

4. Sound

How air is introduced to the milk determines the consistency of the foam. If large gulps of air are added to the milk, the foam will have large bubbles. Introducing air to the milk in a controlled, gentle fashion indicated by a gentle hissing sound, will ensure the milk has fine aerated microfoam.

Barista Tip: Milk Texturing Sounds

• Gurgling - Tip not deep enough, raise Jug.
- Smooth Hissing - Just right for latte.
- Screeching - Tip too deep, lower Jug.

5. Keeping Steam Tip Position

As the steam heats & textures the milk, the milk will stretch causing the level of the milk in the Jug to rise. As this happens follow the level of the milk by lowering the Jug, keeping the Steam Wand Tip just below the surface.

SUNBEAM Barista Plus EMM5400 - Keeping Steam Tip Position - 1

Note: Some adjustments to technique will be required when using non-dairy milk.

Tips for Milk Texturing

6. Amount of Foam

Create the amount of microfoam you want. Cappuccinos traditionally have more microfoam than flat whites. (See Coffee Styles to Try, pages 18-19)

7. Immerse Tip

After creating the desired amount of foam, immerse the Steam Wand half depth way into the milk. This heats all the milk and pulls in milk instead of air. This ensures the milk & foam are blended together, making it denser & smoother.

SUNBEAM Barista Plus EMM5400 - Immerse Tip - 1

natural_image Illustration of a mechanical device with a knob and handle, showing motion direction (no text or symbols)

8. Correct Temperature

An indication of reaching correct milk temperature is when the Milk Jug base can only be touched comfortably for approximately 3 seconds.

Barista Tip: Milk Temperature

  • Under - If not heated long enough, it will be warm with little texture.
  • Optimum - See below table.
    • Over - If heated for too long it will start to boil around 72^ C and will have a burnt taste with all texture lost.
MILKTEMPERATURE
Full & Skim 60-65°C
Almond55-65°C
Soy 55-60°C
Coconut65-70°C

Note: Above recommendations might vary from one milk brand to another and depending on your taste preference.

9. Purging the Steam Wand

When correct milk temperature has been reached, turn the DIAL to the vertical position and remove the Jug from the Steam Wand. Place Milk Jug to one side. Place the Steam Wand over the Drip Tray. Turn the DIAL to the HOT WATER position for a few seconds, then return the DIAL to the vertical position. This will remove any milk that has been sucked into the Steam Wand Tip.

HOT WATER 0 RETURN 0

10. Wipe Steam Wand

Wipe the Steam Wand Arm & Tip with a clean damp cloth to remove any milk residue.

11. Tap & Swirl the Jug

Gently tapping the Jug on the benchtop helps to release larger trapped air bubbles. Swirling helps the milk & froth to combine for an even consistency & a silky appearance.

Care & Cleaning - Grinder

Cleaning & Unblocking Grinder Burrs, Collar, Grind Chamber and Outlet

• 1-2Months

If the Grinder is used frequently (everyday), the Burrs need to be cleaned to ensure best performance of the integrated Grinder. Regular cleaning helps the Burrs achieve consistent grinding results, which is especially important when grinding coffee beans for espresso.

- Grind Off Excess Coffee Beans

  • The machine is on and in the READY state.
  • Make note of the current Grind Setting (to use as the starting point after cleaning).
  • Insert Two Cup Filter Basket into the Group Handle.
  • Insert Group Handle into Grinding Cradle.

- Cleaning Top Burr

  • Fold the two handles up and lift the Top Burr from the Grinder Collar.
  • Wash the Top Burr in warm soapy water with a mild detergent, rinse & dry.

Note: Spots & marks on the surface of the Burrs are part of the hardening process (for extra-long life). These marks do not affect the performance of the Grinder or the taste of the espresso.

- Cleaning & Unblocking Bottom Burr and Grind Chamber

  • Use the Cleaning Brush or a Vacuum Cleaner to thoroughly clear the parts and surfaces in the Grind Chamber of fine coffee grinds. A damp cloth can be used to wipe the inside of the Grind Collar.

Note: After cleaning, the optimum Grind Setting may have changed. To find the optimum Grind Setting use the information on pages 14-15.

Adjusting Bottom Burr

The Conical Burrs are made of hardened Stainless Steel for extra-long life. However, after prolonged use, the Bottom Burr may require adjustment to compensate for wear.

If the coffee grinds are too coarse when the Grind Setting is below 2 and the espresso is consistently under extracted, the Bottom Burr may need adjusting.

Contact Sunbeam (details are on the back page) should you think that the Bottom Burr needs adjustment.

Prior to contacting Sunbeam Customer Care, please ensure that you are using freshly roasted beans and that the Top Burr is seated correctly.

Important: Old coffee beans, no matter the Grind Setting, will have a fast extraction and will produce an under extracted tasting espresso.

Important: If the Top Burr is not seated correctly the Grinder will produce coarse coffee grinds. Grind off excess coffee beans and clean the Top Burr & Grind Chamber.

Descaling Cycle - Espresso Machine

After continued use, your Espresso Machine may develop a build-up of mineral deposits and therefore require occasional descaling.

We recommend descaling your Espresso Machine every 4-6 months, although this period will depend on the hardness of water and frequency of use.

Descaling Solution

You have 3 options:

A. Sunbeam Espresso Machine Descaling Tablets (EM0010).

or

B. Sunbeam Liquid Descaler (KE0100).

or

C. White vinegar & warm water.

A & B descaling solutions are available for purchase from Sunbeam. Details are on the back page.

Descaling Cycle

The Descaling Cycle takes approximately 10 minutes to complete.
