Auto Shot is the easiest way to create a great espresso. Just press the 1 SHOT Button or 2 SHOT Button to pour right amount, then it will automatically stop. All Extraction Buttons can be customised to deliver the shot volumes preferred.

• Pre-Infusion
  Small amounts of water are released onto the tamped coffee grinds prior to the steady flow of waterfor a richer flavored espresso.

• 2-in-1 Portafilter
  The Portafilter holds coffee grinds for a true cafe tasting coffee. Its perfect size ensures the grinds are more evenly spread and easier to fill for imporved flavor extraction.

• 20 BAR Pump
  The thermoblock works in conjunction with the pump to deliver the correct water temperature at the correct pressure for complete extraction of oils, coffee solids and aroma.

• A Buoy Inside The Drip Tray
  Remind you the water is full. It’s detachable for easy cleaning.

• Cup Warming Plate
  A heated metallic plate on top of the machine keeps your cups warm, so that the coffee flavour will not be influenced by cold parts.

Espresso Making Guide

Brief Introduction

Coffee Beans/Grinds

• All of the flavor comes from the beans, choose different kinds of roasts and beans according to the type of coffee you make.
• 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.
• 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.
• Old coffee beans, no matter what the grind setting is, will have a fast extraction and will produce an under extracted tasting espresso.
• 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.

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.

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.

NOTE

• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• Tap the portafilter several times to distribute the coffee grinds evenly in the filter basket.
• It is normal for the correct dose of coffee grinds to appear overfilled in the filter before tamping.

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

• Isolating changes to grind size & tamping force will assist in producing a consistent taste every time.
• After tamping make sure wipe away any excess coffee grinds on the edges of the portafilter before installing it to the machine.
• 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.

Water Temperature

Before brewing,make sure the knob is in the“ ”position and the temperature is suitable，at this point, the Manual, 1SHOT and 2SHOT buttons will be solid blue light on.

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 tem-perature 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.

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.

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 sug-gest pre-setting the volumes of your shot modes, about 40mL per cup is 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 recommended. For more details, refer to ‘Re-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 4‒7 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 sweet-ness, 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, see ‘Extraction Guide’, page 16.

NOTE
Ensure coffee beans or pre-ground grinds are fresh, as old coffee beans no matter the Grind Setting will have a low flavor and bad taste.

Milk Frothing Guide

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.

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

4. Milk foam cup
   Use a 300-350mL stainless steel milk foam cup.

5. Water temperature
   Please wait for the MANUAL，1 SHOT, and 2 SHOT buttons to stop flashing ste- adily, this means the heating is complete.

6. Use the correct method to froth milk

7. 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.

8. 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.

9. 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.

10. 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.

11. Step 5 – Check that the milk is swirling.

12. Step 6 – As the milk level rises, lower the milk foam cup to keep the steam wand outlet below the surface.

13. Step 7 – When the desired micro-foam is reached, submerge the steam wand halfway.

14. Step 8 – Milk frothing is complete when the base of the milk foam cup is too hot to touch for 3 seconds.

15. Step 9 – Return the knob to the “ ” icon;

16. 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.

17. Step 11 – Remove the milk foam cup from the Steam Wand.

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. Turn the knob to the coffee icon and long press the MANUAL button for 3 seconds to run the water out in the water tank to enter the descaling cycle and cancel the descaling warning. 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.
