Filter Baskets: Pressurized or Non-Pressurized?

1. Your

Espresso Maker comes with 2 sets of filter baskets. Pressurized filter holders are

double wall construction and have only 1 hole on the bottom. Non-pressurized filter baskets

are thinner, single wall construction with many holes on the bottom. If you are new to the

third wave coffee culture, or if you are not using a dosed coffee grinder, it is best to use the

pressurized baskets.

2. It is best to use pressurized filter baskets when:

· Extracting espresso from pre-measured pods. Insert a single coffee pod into the empty 1 cup pressurized filter basket. To avoid water leakage, make sure that no part of the coffee pod filter hangs over the lip of the filter basket.

· Extracting espresso from pre-ground coffee. 3. Tamping is not critical, but should be consistent when using pressurized filter baskets.

4. Pressurized baskets produce larger bubbles in the crema.

5. Use the non-pressurized filter baskets when:

· Grinding fresh coffee beans.

For best results, use the

Burr Grinder for perfectly dosed, freshly ground MEDIUM

to FINE (espresso) coffee.

· Using a special dose coffee grinder.

6. The resulting brew is often less bitter.

7. Tamping is important. Use the tamper to apply consistent pressure. A smooth and level coffee surface is achieved by tamping evenly and firmly with a final polish or swirl.

Pull the Perfect Espresso Shot

The secret to a perfect espresso shot is all about achieving the perfect balance of acidity, sweetness, and bitterness. Many factors play a major role: temperature of the water; portafilter, and serving cups is crucial, filter baskets and steaming wand should be clean; coffee beans must be fresh and perfectly roasted. The fineness or coarseness of the grind, dose of ground coffee,
and tamping pressure should be consistent when experimenting to achieve your perfect pull.

1. Place empty cappuccino shot cups onto the warming plate before the pull. 2. Run a blank shot to preheat the cup and portafilter.

3. Plug the Espresso Maker into a 120V AC electrical outlet. All indicator lights should be OFF.

4. Fill the water tank with up to 2.1 liters of cold, preferably filtered water, using the markings
on the tank for reference. Close the lid. IMPORTANT! Be sure to add enough water for shots plus the first blank shot. NOTE: The water tank should always be filled past the MIN (5 oz.) mark. Never fill the water tank past the MAX (2.1 liter) mark.

5. Choose the appropriate filter basket. (Please see the detailed
description in the previous section: “Filter Baskets: Pressurized Figure 7 or Non-Pressurized?”) Insert either the 1 or 2 cup, pressurized or non- pressurized filter basket into the portafilter.
(See Figure 7.)

6. Align the portafilter handle with the INSERT symbol on the brew head. (See Figure 8.)

Figure 8

7. Turn handle counter-clockwise (to the right) until the portafilter handle is facing front and lined up with the LOCK. Make sure the portafilter is sealed and locked securely into
the brew head. (See Figure 9.)

8. Center a wide spouted container or cup onto drip plate under the 2-spout portafilter.

Figure 9

9. Press the POWER button to turn the Espresso Maker ON. The
single shot ( ) and double shot ( ) buttons will begin to flash. When the system is up to temperature, all 4 buttons on

10.Press either the single ( ) or double shot ( ) button. The motor will sound. Both spouts will stream hot water (a blank shot) to warm the espresso cup and portafilter and then turn OFF.

11.Remove the portafilter from the brew head. Turn the handle clockwise (to the left) to UNLOCK. The portafilter will drop
down from the brew head. (See Figures 10 and 11.)

Figure 10

12.Use the

measuring scoop (and scale if desired) to dose

ground espresso coffee and add to the filter basket. Use the

1 cup filter basket for a single espresso; the 2 cup filter for a

double espresso or 2 single espressos at the same time. (See Figure 11 Figure 12.)

13.Use the tamper to gently press the coffee and pack it. Make

sure the tamper is perfectly dry as any wet spots will result in

channeling. Wipe any loose coffee grounds from the rim of the portafilter to assure a proper fit into the brew head.

NOTE: When tamping for a double espresso, only tamp after the filter basket has been filled. Tamping between measures

Figure 12

may create a layer in the coffee that may hinder extraction.

}

14.Align the portafilter handle with the INSERT symbol on the

}

brew head and turn counter-clockwise until it is sealed and

}

securely locked. (See Figures 8 and 9.)

15.Press either the single ( ) or double shot ( ) button. The motor will sound. Both spouts

will stream thick, rich espresso. The

Espresso Machine is pre-set to deliver 2 oz. (single)

to 4 oz. (double) shots of espresso, before automatically turning OFF.

16.Remove the filter basket and discard used coffee puck. CAUTION: To avoid scalding or burns, do not attempt to remove the portafilter handle during the brewing process, or when any button on the control panel is flashing. IMPORTANT! Keeping your Espresso Maker clean and thoroughly rinsed is critical in pulling
the perfect shot. Always run water through the brew head and purge the steam wand
after each use.

Dial In Single or Double Shot Volume

1. The

Espresso Maker consistently dials in the perfect brew water temperature and

measures the perfect volume for every shot.

2. To adjust volumes for future shots, press and hold the single or double shot programmable button for 3 seconds to adjust and to dial in future single or double shot volume. Example: to
change the volume on the single shot ­ press and hold the single shot button for 3 seconds, water will begin to flow. Once you have the desired amount, release the single shot button to stop water flow. The new volume is now set, and can be re programmed at any time.

Texture Milk for Espresso Drinks

1. Transition to Steam. IMPORTANT: Make sure the frothing pitcher is cold before texturing. Refrigerate or run cold water intothe pitcher before use. CAUTION: After extracting espresso, the steam wand is hot. Always use the silicone covers and tabs installed on both the steam wand and the water dispenser to rotate and swing either wand into the perfect position.

2. Fill the stainless steel frothing pitcher no more than one-third (1/3) full with fresh, cold milk
(skim milk froths best) and place it next to the Espresso Maker. IMPORTANT: When texturing milk, the volume will double. Do not over-fill the frothing pitcher.

3. Press the STEAM PREHEAT button. When pressed, the STEAM PREHEAT button will flash. As temperature is achieved and
steam is built, the button will illuminate solid. (See Figures 13.)

Figure 13

4. Turn the function control dial to STEAM. Make sure the steam wand is over the drip tray. Once steam starts to come out from the wand, and not water you can change the dial back to standby. (See Figures 14.)
5. Quickly place the tip of the steam wand at the surface of the milk, and turn the functional control dial back to steam. Place the frothing pitcher on an angle, and make sure the wand is around one third from either edge of the frothing pitcher. The steam wand should barely break the milk’s surface to create fine microbubbles. Try and have the steam
