Product Specification

Things to Know

1. The taste of espresso depends on the amount and type of coffee used.
2.  The particular taste of a coffee bean depends on several factors, but its taste and aroma are the result of the roasting process. Coffee beans roasted for a longer time and at higher temperatures are darker in colour. Darker coffee beans release more flavour than lighter ones. There are coffees of varying quality on the market. Each type of roasting is characterised by a mixture of beans roasted at a certain temperature and with a certain type of aroma.
3.  Pump espresso machines require a finely ground blend. Be sure topurchase the desired blend that can be used with espresso machines. It is preferable to use a grinder mill rather than a blade mill because the latter releases too much coffee powder and produces an irregularly ground blend.
4.  It would be ideal to grind the coffee just before use.
5. We recommend storing the coffee in an airtight container, in a cool, dry place, away from heat sources.
6.  Espresso can be recognised by its dark colour, rich taste and typical “natural cream”.
7.  Cappuccino is a special combination of espresso and hot frothed milk. It can be served with a sprinkling of cinnamon, nutmeg or cocoa. 08. Serve espresso coffee immediately after preparing it.
8.  Serve espresso in coffee cups and cappuccino in breakfast cups.

Before First Use

3.  Press the Power button, the Power indicator light turns on and the coffee machine starts to preheat automatically. Once the preheating is finished, the TEMP Ready indicator will light up continuously. This preheating process takes about 2 minutes.

4.  Place a empty cup under the Steam Wand. Tum on the Steam Knob, then press the Espresso button. Let the hot water flow out of the Steam Wand about 80 ml, then press the Espresso button again and turn off the Steam Knob. This process is let the water flow into the empty pump for the first use.
   NOTE:
   There will be a loud noise and little shake when the machine running first time. It’s normal for a 20 bar pump. The noise will be weak in the future using.

5. Insert the Filter into the Filter Holder. (see image.1)

6. Insert the Filter Holder without coffee grounds into the Brew Head with a 45° movement to the left and turn it to the right to lock it in place. The Portafi.lter must be perpendicular to the machine or slightly tilted towards the right. (see image.2)

7. Place a empty cup under the Filter Holder and press the Espresso button.

8. After the cup has been led with water, press the Espresso button again to stop and pour the water out. Now your coffee machine is ready to use.

Preparing the Espresso

A cold filter holder, filter and cup can reduce the extraction temperature enough to significantly affect the quality of your espresso.
We recommend to preheat them before extraction.

1. Remove the Filter Holder and fill the Filter with coffee grounds using the Tamp Spoon provided with the machine.
   • We recommend 7-9g for single shot and 13-15g for double shot. The amount will vary depending on your preferences.

2. Tamp the coffee grounds with the Tamp spoon. The coffee grounds must be pressed evenly to obtain a well evelled and flat surface. Remove any coffee residue from the edge of the Filter Holder.

3. Insert the Filter Holder into the Brew Head with a 45° movement to the left and turn it to the right to lock it in place. The filter holder must be perpendicular to the machine or slightly tilted towards the right.

Making the Espresso

1. Make sure the Steam Knob is on “OFF” position.
2.  Place pre-warmed cup(s) beneath the filter holder.
3.  Press the Espresso button to”–“, the machine starts to make espresso coffee.
4.  When the desired amount is reached, press the Espresso button to “O” to stop.

The coffee will be more or less intense depending on the amount of water used and, if prepared following the correct procedure, it will have the typical hazelnut/brown coloured “natural cream”.
To brew another espresso, slowly and carefully remove the filter holder, moving it to the left. Be careful not to bum yourself with the water left on the coffee grounds. Once the filter holder has been removed, some water will still drip. This is due to the water pressure in the system. Remove the grounds from the filter and any residues from the brew head.
NOTE: There will be a big noise when the machine making espresso. It’s normal for a 20 bar pump.
NOTE: Please press the Power button to tum off the machine after using.

Frothing Milk

To prepare a traditional cappuccino or latte, we recommend:

• using cold, fresh whole milk. The density of the frothed milk will depend on the milk fat content.
• using stainless steel, circular, rounded milk jugs, narrower at the top, with a spout, necessary to make cappuccino decorations.

Before starting, it is important to slightly move the Steam Wand outwards in order to insert the jug directly under it and facilitate the movements required to froth the milk correctly.
Continue as follows:

1. Press the Steam button to”-“. The indicator of TEMP Ready will off indicating that the machine starts to preheating. Once the preheating has fmished, the TEMP Ready indicator will light on again.

2.  Tum the steam knob slightly counterclockwise to eliminate any condensation from the wand then close the knob again.

3. Place the jug, half-flled with cold milk, under the steam tube.

4. Place the steam tube just below the surface of the milk. If it is inserted too deep, the milk will not be frothed; if it is not inserted deep enough, big bubbles will be produced and then disappear immediately. Make sure that the hole of the steam tube is kept above the surface of the milk. (see image.3)
   It is important to keep the steam tube not at the centre but close to the edge of the jug, with an appropriate angle to produce a stronger vortex.

5. Turn the steam knob to 4 position. The steam will come out of the steam tube.
   NOTE: The entire operation should last no longer than 60 seconds.
   NOTE: To froth the milk correctly, the steam tube must always be in contact with the milk and not with the froth. Therefore, as the layer of froth increases, the jug must be slightly raised trying to keep the Steam Tube in contact with the milk, without touching the bottom of the jug.

6. Once the desired frothing milk has been achieved, the steam tube must be pushed deeper to heat the milk well.
   NOTE: It is advisable to always keep a hand on the rounded part of the jug to feel the temperature increase of the unfrosted milk.

7. Once the desired result has been achieved, turn the steam knob to “OFF” position to stop dispensing steam and remove the jug.
   NOTE: To make the froth more compact, it is advisable to lightly tap the jug on a flat surface after frothing.

8. To avoid the steam wand being blocked, it is important to turn on the steam knob to purge out any residue milk from the steam wand, then turn it off.

9. Press the steam button to “O” to quit the steam mode. Pour the frothed milk into the coffee.

WARNING   The steam wand may be very hot during and after use. To avoid burns, move it only by placing your fears on the rubber tip fitted on the steam wand.
Attention:
