B1nXEiTbmNL Espresso Machine With Grinder
Product Information
The product is a coffee brewing machine that allows users to
make espresso. It features a pre-heating function, grind size
selector, filter size options, and automatic or manual grinding
capabilities.
Pre-heating the Brewing System
-
Fill the water tank with water.
-
Plug in the machine.
-
Press the ON/OFF button to turn it on.
-
Wait until all buttons are fully illuminated, indicating that
the machine is ready. -
Insert the filter holder into the group head, ensuring it is
level and rotated to the right. -
Place a cup under the filter holder on the drip tray.
-
Make sure the steam knob is in the OFF position.
-
Press the single or double button to start brewing.
-
Let hot water come out of the group head to preheat the brewing
system, filter, and filter holder. -
Empty the hot water from the cup.
Setting the Grind Size
The grind size selector has 15 settings. The smaller the number,
the finer the grind size; the larger the number, the coarser the
grind size. It is recommended to start with setting 8 and adjust as
needed. Avoid selecting grind levels 1-3 initially, as they may be
too fine for a new machine and become more suitable with prolonged
use.
Selecting the Filter Size
Insert the 1 CUP size filter or 2 CUP size filter into the
filter holder. Choose the 1 CUP size filter for a single-cup
espresso and the 2 CUP size filter for a double-cup espresso.
Grinding the Coffee Beans
Automatic Grinding:
-
Ensure the filter bracket is locked in place.
-
Insert the filter holder into the bracket and push it once to
engage the grinding activation switch. -
The grinder will automatically grind for 14 seconds (default
auto-grinding time) and then stop. You can reset the auto-grinding
time if needed. -
The automatic grinding process can be interrupted at any time
by pushing and releasing the switch.
Manual Grinding (Resetting the Grind Time):
- Refer to the instruction manual for detailed steps on resetting
the grind time.
Note: It is recommended to use fresh coffee beans to maintain
optimal brewing pressure. Avoid using coffee beans that have been
exposed to air for a long time, as it may affect the quality of the
espresso.
Recommended coffee beans: LAVAZZA espresso Barista, LAVAZZA
SUPER CREMA, STARBUCKS ESPRESSO ROAST. These can be easily found on
Amazon.
Operation Guide
Before initial use, please carry out the initial operation procedure as per
the INSTRUCTION MANUAL (see “Prior to initial use” section for full details).
This guide does not replace the description in the INSTRUCTION MANUAL. Before
you start, read and follow the “safety” chapter and observe the “Appliance
parts” chapter. The INSTRUCTION MANUAL also contains further tips for correct
handling, cleaning and descaling, as well as a “Faults and rectification”
section.
Pre-heating the brewing system
In order to get the best coffee brewing temperature. Before brewing espresso
each time, we recommend brewing coffee without coffee grounds once to preheat
the machine and cup(s).

Setting the grind size
The grind size will affect the water flow rate through the coffee grounds in
the filter basket and the flavor of the espresso.
The grind size selector has 15 grind settings.
The smaller the number, the finer the grind size; The larger the number, the coarser the grind size.

We recommend you start with setting 8 and adjust as needed.
Note: We do not recommend that you select grind levels 1-3 initially. They are
too fine for a
new machine and will become more suitable with prolonged use of the machine.

Selecting the filter size
Insert the 1 CUP size filter or 2 CUP size filter into the filter holder. Choose the 1 CUP size filter if you want to make a single-cup espresso, and choose 2 CUP size filter if you want to make a double-cup espresso.
We recommend the grinding amount as below:
11-13 g for a single espresso 18-21 g for a double espresso
1 CUP
2 CUP
Note:
The grinding time varies depending on the coffee bean you use. Please use fresh coffee beans! If your coffee beans are exposed to air for a long time, it will cause the oil in the
coffee beans to evaporate, leading to a low brewing pressure.
Here are some coffee beans we recommend: 1. LAVAZZA espresso Barista 2. LAVAZZA SUPER CREMA You can easily find these recommend coffee beans on Amazon!

Manual grinding (How to reset the new grind time?)
01. Insert the filter holder into the bracket, push and hold the filter
holder to engage the grinding activation switch. Continue to hold until the
desired amount of coffee has been ground.
02. To stop grinding, release the filter holder. This will release the
grinding activation switch and stop the grinding process.
03. Your espresso machine will set this grinding time as the new auto-
grinding time. When you grind the coffee bean next time, just push the
portafilter once, and the grinder will start to grind, the grinding time is
set to the last Manual Grinding Time.
Note:
If the manual grinding time exceeds 5 seconds, the machine will set this grinding time as the new automatic grinding time. If the manual grinding time is less than 5 seconds,
the machine will not set this grinding time as a new automatic grinding time.

Tamping the coffee grounds
How to use mat?
1. Gently put the tamper mat on the edge of table or countertop.
2. Align the table edge with the right triangle of the mat so that it will fit well with the table.
3. It is feasible to place the tamper and distributor on the mat.
4. Put the portafilter on the mat while tamping coffee grounds.
5. It can also be used to knock the espresso puck out of the portafilter.
Why use the distributor?
During espresso brewing, it’s common for an individual to tamp the loaded
portafilter by pressing it on the countertop edge with an espresso tamper. The
biggest problem with brewing espresso is the human error of irregular
compression, which causes channeling. Channeling may be described as uneven
compression distributed throughout the filter. Water finds the path of the
least resistance rather than evenly flowing through the entire bed. This
channeling leads to improperly saturated grounds, and poorly brewed espresso,
resulting in an unpalatable and bitter flavor.

How to use the distributor?
1. Put the distributor on to the portafilter.
2. Then rotate the distributor to even the surface of coffee grounds.
3. The surface of the coffee grounds is now even, but the inside of the coffee grounds is still loose.
How to tamp the coffee grounds?
Tamp down firmly using approx. 11-22lbs (5-10kg) of pressure.
The amount of pressure is not as critical as ensuring that consistent pressure
is applied.
As a guide for the right amount of coffee grounds, the top edge of the metal
cap on the tamper should be level with the top of the filter after the coffee
grounds have been tamped, and the amount of the coffee grounds after tamping
should reach the MAX line.

Note:

Wipe edges to remove any residual coffee grounds. Otherwise, the filter holder may be difficult to lock in or water may leak from the filter holder while brewing coffee.
Making espresso
Ensure the steam volume regulator is switched to the OFF position before
making espresso.
Press the 1 CUP button to make a single-cup espresso or the 2 CUP button to make a double-cup espresso.
Volume of 1 CUP espresso: approx. 1-1.5oz (30-45ml)
Volume of 2 CUP espresso: approx. 2-2.5oz (60-75ml)
Note:
The amount of espresso extracted into the cup will vary depending on your grind size, a mount of coffee grounds used, and tamping pressure.
While the machine is making espresso, a pumping noise can be heard, this is a normal operation of the 20 bar Italian pump.

Note:
Our machines are equipped with an automatic pressure relief function. After using the steam system, there will be a huge pressure buildup inside the machine, and the
machine will release steam from the drip tray to achieve the purpose of pressure relief. Please don’t worry
if you notice steam coming out of the drip tray. It means that the machine is starting a pressure relief
procedure.
