Frequently Asked Questions - Pro Espresso Machine EM0112-0SL Emeril Lagasse

How do I make espresso with the Emeril Lagasse Pro Espresso Machine?

Fill the water tank, add coffee to the portafilter, tamp, fit it, press power to preheat, then press the single (1 cup) or double (2 cups) button for automatic mode, or hold the manual button for custom amount.

Why is no espresso coming out?

Possible causes: water tank empty, blocked portafilter/sieve, machine needs descaling, grind too fine/coarse, or too much tamping pressure. Check each and clean or adjust accordingly.

How do I clean the steam wand?

After each use, immerse the steam nozzle in a cup of clean water, turn steam knob to let steam purge for several seconds, then wipe with a damp cloth. The nozzle tip can be removed for washing.

What should I do if espresso leaks from the portafilter?

Ensure the portafilter is correctly fitted and turned fully to the right until it stops. Also check if the sieve is not overfilled or blocked.

How often should I descale the machine?

Descale when the clean icon ⚙️ appears (after approx. 500 cycles) or monthly with a vinegar solution. Follow the descaling procedure in the manual.

Can I use ESE pods?

Yes, use the 1-shot (smaller) sieve for ESE pods. Fill and tamp as usual.

What does the flashing caution icon mean?

The caution icon ! appears if the steam/hot water knob is open during brewing, manual brew >60 sec, steam >180 sec, or hot water >90 sec. Close the knob or allow the machine to cool/reset.

How do I froth milk?

Press the steam button, wait for preheat, then submerge the steam wand in cold milk. Turn the knob counterclockwise and move the jug in circular motions. For large bubbles keep nozzle near surface; for micro foam keep it submerged.

What is the auto shutoff feature?

The machine automatically turns off after 25 minutes of inactivity. Press the power button to restart.

How do I clean the machine before first use?

Wash portafilter, sieves, and tamper in warm soapy water. Run a brew cycle without coffee, and clean the steam system by purging steam through the wand.

Instructions for Use

Making Espresso

Espresso can be enjoyed on it's own or used for many popular espresso based variations such as Latte, Cappuccino, Americano, etc. Your espresso maker can make a single shot (approx. 30ml), or a double shot (60ml) of espresso.

Your Espresso maker can make drinks automatically or under manual control.

Filling the portafilter

1. Decide whether you are making a single shot or double shot.
2. For a single shot fit the 1 shot (smaller) sieve into the portafilter; for a double fit the 2 shot (larger) sieve (Fig. D). For ESE (easy serving espresso) pods use the 1 shot sieve.

3. Use the measure to fill the sieve (Fig. E). For a single shot use 1 measure and for a double use 2 measures (Fig. F). The coffee in the measure should be level and not heaped (Fig. G).

4. Lightly tamp (compress) the coffee into the portafilter using the flat end of the measure (Fig. H) until it is level. You need to compact the coffee just enough to create resistance to the water as it passes through the coffee. Too loose and the water passes easily through the coffee and the full flavour won't be extracted. Too tight and it will be difficult for the water to pass through the coffee and the flavour will be harsh and bitter.

Fitting the portafilter

1. Make sure the rim of the portafilter is free from any coffee debris. Fit it into the machine with the handle facing out to the left so that is aligned with the ▪ mark (Fig. J).
2. Push the portafilter upwards then turn it to the right until it stops (Fig. K). To remove the portafilter, turn it to the left until the handle lines up with the ⚪ mark.

Cleaning the steam nozzle after each use

1. Clean the steam nozzle and the swivel arm immediately after every use.
2. Immerse the steam nozzle in a cup of clean water.
3. Turn the steam/hot water control knob counterclockwise. Let steam escape into the clear water for several seconds.
4. Repeat the process several times if necessary.
5. Finally, carefully remove the steam nozzle and wipe it and the swivel arm with a clean damp cloth before replacing it.

Tips

Place your espresso cups on top of the unit where they will be gently warmed.

To get a hotter espresso, warm the portafilter before use. Fit the sieve into the portafilter, fit the portafilter and run the brewing process for 5-10 seconds to heat the filter up. Then, remove the portafilter and use it as normal to make espresso. Be aware when handling the portafilter and sieve that they will be hot after doing this.

After several uses of the steam function, the temperature of the unit can become high and this will prevent further brewing until the machine has cooled a little. You can use the hot water function to cool the machine more quickly. The machine will release steam at first; when water begins to dispense, the unit will be cooled to brewing temperature again.

Care & Maintenance

Cleaning

1. Unplug the appliance and let it completely cool down.
2. Clean the exterior surfaces and the steam nozzle with a slightly damp cloth and then dry them thoroughly. Make sure that no water enters the product interior. The steam nozzle tip can be removed by pulling it downwards and it can then be washed separately.
3. Remove the portafilter and sieve and empty out the coffee grounds. Wash under running water and dry thoroughly.
4. Wipe the area on the machine where the portafilter fits.
5. Empty the drip tray when you have finished using the machine, or when the drip tray full indicator pops up.

■ use the cleaning tool to unblock the openings in the portafilter.

The steam nozzle, sieves, drip tray and drip tray cover can be cleaned in a dishwasher.

Descaling

After approximately 500 cycles, the clean icon ⚙️ will appear in the display indicating that the unit should be descaled. This is a warning and will not affect coffee making but the icon will remain lit until it is reset after descaling the appliance.

Over time, calcium deposits or “scale” may build up in your brewer. Scale is non-toxic, but if left unattended, can hinder brewer performance and cause premature failure. Regularly descaling your machine helps to maintain beverage quality, as well as the lifespan of the heating element, and other internal parts that come in contact with water throughout the brew process.

A full cleaning with vinegar is recommended once a month. More frequent cleanings may be required in areas with higher water hardness. If using a proprietary descaling product, follow the manufacturer's instructions.

1. Pour fresh water and the specified amount of decalcifier into the water tank. Use a 50/50 mix when using a vinegar solution.
2. Repeatedly start the brewing process and also use the 'hot water' process to clean the steam nozzle and internal components.
3. Do this until the water tank is empty. If necessary, repeat this process.
4. After descaling, rinse the product several times by brewing water with no coffee to remove any decalcifier residue.
5. To reset the light, hold the 📋/💡 button and the manual 📋/💡 button at the same time for 5 seconds. The clean icon ⚙️ will go off.
