Dear customer,
Thank you for your purchase of the CASABREWS Espresso Co ee Machine. To ensure
you get the best use of this machine, please take the time to read this manual
and learn how to use this espresso machine with integrated grinder, even if
you are an experienced home barista – this machine may be di erent to ones you
have operated before. In these operating instructions, you will learn how to
use the product optimally and safely, and with a little experimenting you will
soon find your preferred settings. We hope that you enjoy it!
BEFORE FIRST USE
Remove and discard all labels and packaging materials attached to your espresso machine.
Ensure you have removed all parts and accessories before discarding the packaging.
Remove the packaging and the plastics bags containing the accessories.
Clean the water tank, portafilter, filter baskets, milk jug and drip tray
using warm water and a gentle dishwashing
liquid. Rinse well, then dry thoroughly before reassembling.
FILLING THE WATER TANK
Fill the water tank with cold tap water to below the MAX marking indicated on the side of the water tank.
NOTE: Replace the water daily. The water tank should be filled with fresh, cold tap water before NOTE: each use
ATTACHING THE COFFEE BEAN CONTAINER
-
Insert the coffee bean container into the top of the machine. Ensure the mark “ ” on the container aligns with the mark “ ” on the machine.
-
Turn the container clockwise to attach it in place. Make sure the mark “ ” is pointed at the mark “ ” on the machine.
-
Fill the bean hopper with fresh coffee beans.
NOTE: The freshness of the coffee beans will affect the flavor of the coffee and the pressure of extraction. DOUBLE Stale coffee may pour too quickly from the portafilter and taste bitter and watery, which also leads to no pressure when brewing. To get the best flavor and extraction, we recommend changing the coffee beans in the container at least once a week.
ATTACHING THE FILTER HOLDER BRACKET
Attach the portafilter bracket to the machine by lifting it slightly, then pushing it downwards.
INITIAL USE
It is necessary to rinse the machine and prime the heating system before the first brew.
-
Fill the water tank with cold tap water, and fill the coffee bean container with fresh coffee beans.
-
Insert the plug into a wall outlet with suitable voltage (120V~, 60Hz).
-
Press the Power button. The button indicators turn on and the coffee maker starts to preheat automatically. Once the preheating has finished, all the buttons will light up continuously. The machine is in READY mode.
This preheating process takes about 2 minutes. -
Place an empty cup under the steam wand.
-
Press the HOT WATER button, and let the hot water dispense from the steam wand for eight seconds, then return the steam knob to OFF. This process lets the water flow into the empty pump for the first use.
-
Pour out the hot water and place the empty cup under the brew head.
-
Press the single button once. Let the machine run a single shot cycle.
-
After the brewing cycle has finished, pour the water out.
Now your machine is ready to use.
HOW TO USE THE GRINDER
When grinding coffee beans, the grind size should be fine, but not too fine. The grind size will affect the rate at which water flows through the ground coffee in the filter, the pressure of extraction and the taste of the espresso.
If the grind is too fine, the water will not flow through the coffee, even when under pressure. The resulting espresso will be OVER-EXTRACTED, dark in color and bitter in flavor.
If the grind is too coarse, the water will flow through the ground coffee in
the filter too quickly, and the pressure
will be under 5 bar. The resulting espresso will be UNDER-EXTRACTED and
lacking in color and flavor.
SETTING THE GRIND SIZE
This machine has 15 grind settings to select from. The smaller the number, the finer the grind size; the larger the number, the coarser the grind size.
For a new user, we suggest setting the grind setting to 8 initially, and then make adjustments depending on the extraction of the coffee and the pressure shown by the pressure gauge.
Select a finer grind setting when the pressure is under 5 bar, then retry.
Select a coarser grind setting when the pressure is over 12 bar, then retry.
The grind setting will vary depending on the coffee beans you use. You may need to experiment with the grind setting to achieve the ideal pressure.
NOTE : Do not initially set the grind setting at 1-3. It’s possible no ground coffee will be dispensed because the grind settings are too fine when the machine is new. The grinds will improve with use of the machine.
WARNING Only grind roasted coffee beans in this machine. Do not process any other foods, such as nuts, spices or liquids, to avoid damaging the grinder. Please do not operate the grinder when it is empty, i.e. without coffee beans.
SELECTING THE FILTER SIZE
This machine includes 2 single filters: a “single espresso” filter and a “double espresso” filter.
The provided filters are designed for:
single espresso filter = approx. 11-13g
double espresso filter = approx. 19-21g
Insert either the single or double espresso filter into the portafilter.
Select the single espresso size filter if you want to make a single espresso and double espresso size filter if you want to make a double
You will need to adjust the grind amount and size if switching from a single to a double filter, or vice versa.
GRINDING THE COFFEE BEANS
The amount of ground coffee will affect the rate at which water flows through the coffee in the filter, the pressure of extraction and the taste of the espresso.
Too much ground coffee will lead to OVER-EXTRACTION, and not enough will lead to UNDER-EXTRACTION.
AUTOMATIC GRINDING
-
Ensure the filter bracket is locked in place.
-
Insert the portafilter into the bracket.
-
Push and release the portafilter to activate automatic grinding. The default auto-grinding time is 14 seconds. The grinder will grind for 14 seconds then stop automatically.
-
If you need to stop the grinding process, push and release the portafilter. The machine will stop grinding.
-
Push and release the portafilter to resume grinding.
-
To set the new auto-grinding time, push and hold the portafilter in the bracket until the desired amount of
ground coffee has been ground. Once the portafilter is released, the coffee maker will beep and set this grinding time as the new auto-grinding time.
NOTE: It is normal for the portafilter to appear overfilled with ground coffee.
MANUAL GRINDING
To manually grind the coffee beans, push and hold the portafilter in the bracket until the desired amount of ground coffee has been dispensed. To stop grinding, release the portafilter.
NOTE: The grinding time will vary depending on the coffee beans you use. You may need to experiment with how long the grinder needs to run to achieve the correct amount.
HOW TO TAMP THE GROUND COFFEE
DISTRIBUTING THE GROUND COFFEE
-
Remove the portafilter from the bracket.
-
Using the distributor, tamp down firmly. Rotate the distributor to even the surface of the ground coffee.
TAMPING THE GROUND COFFEE
- Using the tamper, tamp down firmly using approx. 11-22 lbs (5-10kg) of pressure.
- Wipe excess coffee from the rim of the filter to ensure a proper seal is achieved in the brew head.
As a guide to using the right amount of ground coffee, the top edge of the metal cap on the tamper should be level with the top of the filter after the ground coffee has been tamped.
Also, the MAX marks on both of the filters are intended to assist in identifying the right amount of ground coffee more easily.
The surface of the ground coffee should not be beyond the MAX mark after tamping, otherwise the portafilter might not be able to be locked into the brew head.
HOW TO MAKE ESPRESSO
INSERTING THE PORTAFILTER
Place the portafilter underneath the brew head so that the handle is aligned with the INSERT position. Insert the portafilter into the brew head and rotate the handle towards the center until firm resistance is felt.
MAKING ESPRESSO
- Place the pre-warmed cup(s) beneath the portafilter.
- Press the single or double button for desired volume. The machine starts brewing.
- The pre programmed volume of a single espresso is approx. 30ml, and the double espresso is approx 60ml.
- The machine will automatically stop once the pre-set volume has been extracted.
IDEAL EXTRACTION
The gauge needle indicates the extraction pressure. When it is positioned anywhere within the 5-12 zone during extraction, it means the espresso has been extracted at the ideal pressure.
Features:
- Flows slowly like warm honey.
- Crema is golden brown with a fine mousse texture.
- Espresso is dark brown.
UNDER-EXTRACTION
When the gauge needle is in the 0-5 zone during extraction, you either do not
have enough ground co•ee in the
filter and /or the grind is too coarse. This is an UNDER-EXTRACTED shot
Features:
- Flow is fast like water.
- Crema is thin and pale.
- Espresso is pale brown.
- Tastes bitter/sharp, weak and watery.
Solutions
- Select a finer grind setting and retry.
- Increase the amount of ground co•ee and retry.
- Increase the tamping pressure and retry.
OVER-EXTRACTION
When the gauge needle is in the 12-20 zone during extraction, you either have too much ground coffee in the filter and /or the grind is too fine. This is an OVER-EXTRACTED shot.
Features:
- Flow drips very slowly or not at all.
- Crema is dark and spotty.
- Espresso is very dark brown.
- Tastes bitter and burnt.
Solutions
- Select a coarser grind setting and retry.
- Decrease the amount of ground coffee and retry.
- Decrease the tamping pressure and retry.
HOW TO PROGRAM THE VOLUME OF SINGLE/DOUBLE ESPRESSO
PROGRAMMING ESPRESSO VOLUME\
- Press and hold the single and double espresso buttons simultaneously for 5 seconds. The HOT WATER button will turn off and the single espresso and double espresso buttons will flash.
- Press the single or double button, the machine starts to brew. The single or double button will flash while brewing.
- To stop the extraction at the desired level, press the single or double button again, and then press the HOT WATER button. The machine will beep to indicate that the custom setting has been remembered. The custom setting can now be activated by pressing the single or double button.
NOTE: The adjustable volume for a single espresso ranges between 20 ml/0.68 oz and 60 ml/2.03 oz, and a double espresso ranges between 60 ml/2.03 oz and 100 ml/3.38 oz. The machine will fail to program volumes outside of these ranges.
RESETTING TO DEFAULTS
To reset the machine to the default volume of single espresso, press and hold the single espresso button for 5 seconds. The single espresso button will flash twice indicating the default volume of single espresso has been reset.
HOW TO MAKE HOT WATER
The hot water function can be used to clean and preheat cups, or to add hot water manually.
To activate the hot water, press the HOT WATER button. The machine will start to dispense hot water from the steam wand.
To stop the hot water, press the HOT WATER button again.
NOTE: The hot water will stop automatically after approx. 45 seconds.
HOW TO FROTH MILK
It is recommended to purge the steam wand prior to frothing milk.
- Position the steam wand over the drip tray and turn the STEAM knob to the PRE-HEAT position. The machine starts to preheat, and the indicator will flash.
- Once the preheating has finished, the indicator will light up continuously.
- Turn the knob to MAX position.
- Let the steam come out of the steam wand for approx. 8 seconds, then return the knob to PRE-HEAT
position.
This process is to purge out the residual water inside the steam wand.
We recommend using cold, fresh whole milk. The density of the frothed milk will depend on the milk fat content.
- Fill the milk jug to between the MIN and MAX markings.
- Lift the steam wand and insert it into the milk jug with the steam wand tip just below the surface of the milk, close to the right-hand side of the jug at a 3 o’clock position.
- Turn the STEAM knob to the MAX position.
- Keep the steam wand tip just under the surface of the milk until the milk is spinning clockwise, producing a vortex.
- With the milk spinning, slowly lower the jug. This will bring the steam wand tip to the surface of the milk and start to introduce air into the milk.
- Gently break the surface of the milk with the tip to get the milk spinning fast enough.
- Keep the steam wand tip at or slightly below the surface, continuing to maintain the vortex. *Texture the milk until su¬cient volume is obtained.
- Lift the jug to lower the tip beneath the surface but keep the vortex spinning. The milk is at the correct\ temperature (140-149°F / 60-65°C) when the jug is hot to the touch.
- Once the desired temperature has been achieved, turn the STEAM knob back to the OFF position.
- Remove the steam wand from the milk jug.
- Wipe the steam wand with a clean, damp cloth. Then return to a lowered position over the drip tray
NOTE: Ensure the STEAM knob is in the OFF position before removing the steam wand from the milk NOTE: jug.
After frothing milk, it is recommended to purge the residual milk from the steam wand.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
CAUTION To prevent damage to the appliance, do not use alkaline cleaning agents when cleaning, use a soft cloth and mild detergent.
DESCALING
After regular use, hard water can cause mineral buildup in and on many of the inner functioning components, reducing the brewing flow, brewing temperature, power of the machine, and the taste of the espresso.
We recommend doing a DESCALE cycle at least once a month.
- Empty the drip tray and reattach it to the machine. Remove the water tank.
- Fill the water tank to the MAX line indicated and add the descaling agent to the water. Reattach the water tank to the machine.
- Put an empty cup beneath the portafilter, and put another empty cup beneath the steam wand.
- Press and hold the HOT WATER button for 5 seconds to start the descaling cycle. The descaling cycle will last approx. 15 minutes.
- Once the descale cycle is complete, the machine needs to complete a rinse cycle.
- Empty the cups then put back in position. Empty any remaining descaling liquid from the water tank, then fill the water tank with plain water to the MAX line and reattach it to the machine.
- Press and hold the HOT WATER button for 5 seconds to start the rinse cycle.
- Once the rinse cycle is complete, the machine will beep and return to READY mode.
- Remove and rinse the water tank. Dry thoroughly before reattaching it to the machine.
CLEANING THE GRINDER
The grinder must be removed from the espresso machine for cleaning.
-
Turn the coffee bean container counter clockwise to remove it from the machine, and remove the bracket.
-
Press and hold the release button the red button below the mark ,then turn the grinder clockwise to
remove it and pull it downward and out. The grinder indicator will flash red. -
Turn the grinder upside down and rotate the powder collector clockwise( ), to remove it from the grinder via the locking position.
-
Clean the grinder and the powder collector carefully using the cleaning brush.
-
After cleaning, reattach the powder collector to the grinder by rotating it counter clockwise.
-
Insert the grinder into the machine upward as far as it will go. Then hold the grinder and turn it counter clockwise to lock it. Once the grinder is secured , you can hear a “click” sound and feel it tight in place.
The white grinder indicator light will remain lit. Reattach the coffee bean container and the bracket into the machine.
CLEANING THE BREW HEAD
The brew head interior and shower screen should be wiped with a damp cloth
after use to remove any ground
coffee particles.
Periodically purge the machine. Place an empty filter basket and portafilter into the brew head. Press the single button and run a short flow of water to rinse out any residual coffee. Remove the portafilter and rinse thoroughly.
CLEANING THE FILTERS AND PORTAFILTER
The filters and portafilter should be rinsed under hot water immediately after use to remove all residual coffee oils.
If any of the holes in the filter become blocked, use the pin provided to unblock the holes.
If the holes remain blocked, soak filter and portafilter in hot water for approx. 20 minutes. Rinse thoroughly.
NOTE: All parts should be cleaned by hand using warm water and a gentle dishwashing liquid. Do not clean any of the parts or accessories in the dishwasher.
CLEANING THE STEAM WAND
The steam wand should always be cleaned after frothing milk. Wipe the steam wand with a damp cloth.
After use, it is recommended to purge the steam wand for a couple of seconds, to clear any remaining milk. With the steam wand positioned down over the drip tray, turn the STEAM knob on for a couple of seconds to allow the machine to create steam for a couple of seconds before turning it back to the vertical position.
If the steam tip hole becomes blocked, it will reduce frothing performance. Use the provided cleaning needle to clear the hole.
If the steam wand is still blocked, unscrew the tip and soak the tip in hot water before using the cleaning needle to unblock again. Replace the tip back on the steam wand.
CLEANING THE DRIP TRAY
The drip tray should be removed, emptied and cleaned at regular intervals, particularly when the drip tray full indicator is showing PLEASE EMPTY TRAY.
Remove the drip tray from the machine and separate the parts. Wash all parts in warm soapy water with a soft cloth. Rinse and dry thoroughly before reassembling and reattaching to the machine.
ERROR MODE
LACK OF WATER
When the water is used up or the water tank is not attached in place, all the buttons will flash in red.
Once the water is filled or the tank is reattached, all the buttons will remain lit.
DESCALING SIGNAL
If the four indicators simultaneously flash red twice when the machine is turned on, it means that the machine has been running for 1000 working cycles and this is a reminder that descaling is required. The signal will be canceled as soon as a descaling cycle is completed.
OVERPRESSURE PROTECTION MODE
If the machine stops brewing and the single and double espresso buttons flash in red when brewing, this means the machine is in OVERPRESSURE protection mode. Press either the single or double espresso button. The machine will start to release the pressure automatically. All the buttons will light up in white continuously when the pressure is released.
