5.2 Tips for Making the Perfect Espresso
1 – Coffee Beans/Grinds
1 – All of the flavor comes from the beans, choose different kinds of roasts and beans according to the type of coffee you make. 2 – For making espresso, medium- or dark-roasted coffee beans are well-suited. If you use light-roasted coffee beans, the final coffee will be lighter in both its color and flavor. 3 – Fresh, quality coffee beans will give you the best possible extraction. Bad beans will not only affect your grinding results but also ruin your final coffee. There are many types of beans on the market. To ensure best grinding results, high quality beans are recommended. 4 – Old coffee beans, no matter what the grind setting is, will have a fast extraction and will produce an under extracted tasting espresso. 5 – Buy coffee grinds well-suited for espresso if you don’t want grinding. When using pre-ground bagged grinds, try to dose in half the grinds then tamp &repeat again.
2 – Grind Size
The grind size will affect the rate of water flow through the coffee in the filter
basket and the flavor of the espresso. To make good espresso, a fine grind is
a must. Coarse coffee grinds can make the extraction too fast and lead to an
under extraction. But also note don’t use too fine grinds to avoid water
blockage or overflow from the portafilter. After tamping, make sure wipe
away any excess coffee grinds on the edges of the portafilter before installing
it to the machine.
around 7g
3 – Grind Dose
Add a proper amount of coffee grinds to the portafilter, the dose of the
single cup is around 7 grams, and the double cup is around 14 grams but not
past the MAX line.
single cup
around 14g
double cup
12
5. Espresso Making Guide
NOTE 1 – A spoon of flat coffee grinds is approximately equal to 7g. Collect
the coffee grinds with the spoon and shake it gently to make the surface flat,
the amount of coffee grinds is around 7g. One spoon coffee grinds (7g) can
make one cup of top-grade coffee, while two spoons (14g) are two cups of top-
grade coffee. 2 – Use the Single-cup Filter when brewing a single cup and the
Doublecup Filter when brewing two cups or a stronger single cup or mug. 3 –
You may need to experiment with how much coffee is put into the filter or how
long your grinder needs to run to achieve the correct dose. 4 – Tap the
portafilter several times to distribute the coffee grinds evenly in the filter
basket. 5 – It is normal for the correct dose of coffee grinds to appear
overfilled in the filter before tamping.
4 – Tamping Force
Tamp the coffee grinds firmly with pressure around 10-15kg but not too hard to
avoid water blockage or overflow from the portafilter. After tamping, make
sure wipe away any excess coffee grinds on the edges of the portafilter before
installing it to the machine.
NOTE 1 – Isolating changes to grind size & tamping force will assist in
producing a consistent taste every time. 2 – After tamping make sure wipe away
any excess coffee grinds on the edges of the portafilter before installing it
to the machine. 3 – If the coffee grinds exceed the MAX line after being
tamped, you can continue to tamp. If the grinds are too firm to tamp down,
take some grinds out and then re-tamp.
5 – Water Temperature
Before brewing,make sure the knob is in the” “position and the temperature is
suitableat this point, the Manual, 1SHOT and 2SHOT buttons will be solid blue
light on.
13
5. Espresso Making Guide
Take note of the below 2 cases of misoperation: CASE 1 – Low Temperature The
machine is just turned on and in the process of pre-heating, the 3 buttons
start to blink blue light slowly, so it has not reached a suitable temperature
for brewing coffee. Before brewing coffee, make sure the pre-heating process
has finished, at this point, the Manual, 1 SHOT and 2 SHOT buttons will be
solid blue light on. CASE 2- High Temperature The suitable temperature for
brewing coffee is around 92 degrees Celsius(198 degrees Fahrenheit). If you
accidentally turn the knob to the Steam icon or immediately brew coffee after
steaming, the temperature will be too high, and it is not suitable for brewing
coffee. What to do ? If you accidentally turn the knob to the steam icon,
return the knob to the ” ” position, and the pressure relief hole will make a
loud”CiCi”noise with some steam coming out from the drip tray, wait to cool
down to an appropriate temperature for coffee, at this point, the Manual,
1SHOT and 2SHOT buttons will be solid blue light on, then turn the knob to the
coffee icon, press the button of the cup volume to brew coffee. If the machine
just finished steaming, do not brew coffee immediately. Make sure to return
the knob to the ” ” position, you can follow the above for cooling down the
machine till to the suitable temperature and then brew coffee, otherwise, the
machine will release high-temperature water from the group head and cause the
coffee to burn.
6 – Cups If for 2 shots with 1 cup, it is recommended that the capacity of the
cup is about 100ML. While for 2 shots with 2 cups or 1 shot with 1 cup, it is
recommended that each cup is about 50ML. The cups without pre-heating or too
large will make the temperature of the espresso drop quickly, resulting in a
poor flavor.
7 – Shot Volume The Single-shot Mode & Double-shot Mode use duration to
control espresso volume. The duration times are preset, but can be
reprogrammed (We suggest pre-setting the volumes of your shot modes, about
40mL per cup is
14
5. Espresso Making Guide
recommended. For more details, refer toRe-programming Shot Volume’, page 22). 1 SHOT Mode & 2 SHOT Mode Press either the 1 SHOT button or the 2 SHOT button to extract espresso at the preset volume. The extraction will start using the low-pressure pre-infusion. The machine will stop after the preset volume has been extracted. NOTE 1 – The amount of espresso extracted in the cup will vary depending on your grind size and grind dose settings. 2 – If you want to end brewing in the 1 SHOT/2 SHOT Mode, press the corresponding button to stop brewing. Manual Shot Volume Manually control the low-pressure pre-infusion time and shot volume without reprogramming the preset shot volume. Step 1 – Press MANUAL button and the extraction process will enter low pressure pre-infusion. Step 2 – Press the MANUAL button again when the desired volume of espresso has been extracted. TIPS 1 – Due to pre-infusion time, the espresso will not start to flow immediately. 2 – As a guide, the espresso will start to flow after 47 seconds (infusion time) and should be the consistency of dripping honey. 3 – If the espresso starts to flow after less than 3 seconds you have either under dosed the filter, the grind is too coarse and/or the tamping force is too light. This is an UNDER EXTRACTED shot. 4 – If the espresso starts to drip but doesn’t flow after 8 seconds, then you have either over dosed the filter, the grind is too fine and/or the tamping force is too heavy. This is an OVER EXTRACTED shot. 5 – A great espresso is about achieving the perfect balance between sweetness, acidity and bitterness. The flavor of your coffee will depend on many factors, such as the type of coffee beans, degree of roast, freshness, coarseness or fineness of the grind, dose of coffee grinds, and tamping force. 6 – Experiment by adjusting these factors just one at a time to achieve the taste of your preference, seeExtraction Guide’, page 16.

6. Milk Frothing Guide
6.1 Brief Introduction
Milk frothing is the steaming of milk. Key Elements of Frothed Milk The steam
only heats the milk. The milk also needs to be aerated (add air) to create the
micro-foam, and needs to be blended well together. Milk that has been frothed
correctly has been heated to between 140-149°F, and has a thick, rich micro-
foam with a silky sheen. It’s all about the temperature, positioning of the
Steam Wand and when you move the Milk Jug.
6.2 Tips for Making the Perfect Milk Frothing
1-Milk variety Use whole milk instead of skim milk, as skim milk is not
suitable for frothing. 2-Milk temperature Use fresh whole milk at 38 – 46
(3-8). 3-Milk volume Use about 100mL of milk
24
6. Milk Frothing Guide
4-Milk foam cup Use a 300-350mL stainless steel milk foam cup. 5-Water
temperature Please wait for the MANUAL1 SHOT, and 2 SHOT buttons to stop
flashing steadily, this means the heating is complete.
6-Use the correct method to froth milk Step 1 – Turn the knob to the steam
icon, and release some steam out from the steam wand before performing milk
frothing, return the knob to the ” ” icon. Step 2 – Hold the position below
the tip of the milk foam cup and the bottom of the milk foam cup with your
left hand, and hold the handle of the milk foam cup with your right hand. Arms
at 12 o’clock. Step 3 – The steam wand outlet is at 3 o’clock, and the milk
just soaks to the 2mm-4mm position of the steam wand outlet, never over the
small air vent, otherwise, poor milk foam will result. Step 4 – The position
of the left hand is fixed, and the right-hand turn the knob to the steam icon
to start frothing the milk.
NOTE Frothing makes a smooth hissing sound.
Step 5 – Check that the milk is swirling. Step 6 – As the milk level rises,
lower the milk foam cup to keep the steam wand outlet below the surface. Step
7 – When the desired micro-foam is reached, submerge the steam wand halfway.
Step 8 – Milk frothing is complete when the base of the milk foam cup is too
hot to touch for 3 seconds. Step 9 – Return the knob to the ” ” icon; Step 10
– Use the damp cloth to move the position of the Steam Wand so as to avoid
scalding due to the high temperature of the Steam Wand. Step 11 – Remove the
milk foam cup from the Steam Wand.

7.4 Descaling Warning Guide
1 – In daily use, limescale gradually builds up inside the machine’s water
pipes and heaters where water flows through. This machine can brew coffee or
froth milk independently and these 2 functions with independent water pipes,
hence each time either brewing coffee or frothing milk will be considered as
one count of use. 2 – We suggest descaling the machine when the machine
reaches a certain count of use. The number”100″mentioned below is the total
count of use that includes both coffee brewing and milk frothing. The
descaling warning will be shown when the machine has cumulatively worked for
100 cycles. At that moment, the 1 SHOT, 2 SHOT, and MANUAL buttons will flash
white light simultaneously for about 10 seconds. The descaling cycle can be
exited at any point by pressing any button. But the descaling warning will be
shown every time after canceling the descaling warning as the machine hasn’t
finished the descaling yet. To finish descaling, refer to “8. Cleaning &
Maintenance”, page 32.
