First-time use cycle
Rinse and get your machine ready to operate. This is only required for the
first time use out of the box.
NOTE: There will be a loud noise and a little shake when you run the machine for the first time. This is normal for the 20-bar pump. The noise will decrease with further use.

Pre-heat the brewing system
A cold brew head, portafilter, filter, and cup can reduce the extraction
temperature. For the optimal coffee temperature, preheat the coffee maker at
least once before brewing.
Making espresso
Frothing milk
Making hot water
ATTENTION: OVER-HEATING PROTECTION.
Do not brew coffee immediately after frothing milk. The boiler must be cooled
down first, otherwise the temperature and the pressure inside the machine will
be too high, and the machine will go into the over-heating protection mode.
When in over-heating protection mode, the machine will not brew coffee, and
the 1 CUP and 2 CUP buttons will flash alternately when pressed.
Proceed as follows to cool down the machine:
User Tips
- The taste of espresso depends on the amount and type of coffee grounds used.
- 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 color. Darker coffee beans release more flavor than lighter ones.
- Espresso machines require a finely ground blend. We recommend using a grinder mill rather than a blade mill.
- Fresh, quality coffee beans will give you the best possible flavor extraction.
- We recommend storing the coffee in an airtight container, in a cool, dry place, away from heat sources.
- Serve espresso coffee immediately after preparing it.
The pressure gauge
-
Under-Extracted Zone
When the gauge needle is positioned in the lower zone during extraction this indicates that the espresso has been extracted with insu©cient pressure .
-
Ideal Espresso Zone
When the gauge needle is positioned anywhere within the solid gray zone during extraction, this indicates the espresso has been extracted at the ideal pressure.
-
Over-Extracted Zone
When the gauge needle is positioned in the upper zone during extraction, this indicates that the espresso has been extracted with too much pressure.
