Functions

TURNING OFF THE MACHINE
To turn the machine off, press the POWER button. Alternatively, the machine has auto-off, if it is not used for 30 minutes.

FILTER BASKETS
This machine includes 4 filter baskets; 2 x Single Wall and 2 x Dual Wall. Single Wall filter baskets should be used when grinding fresh whole coffee beans. They allow you to experiment with grind, dose and tamp to create a more balanced espresso.

Dual Wall filter baskets should be used when using pre-ground coffee. They regulate the pressure and help to optimise the extraction regardless of the grind, dose and tamp pressure or freshness.

Regardless of whether you use Single Wall or Dual Wall filters baskets, use the 1 CUP basket when brewing a single cup and the 2 CUP basket when brewing two cups or a stronger single cup or mug. You will need to adjust the grind amount and size if switching from a single to a double basket, or vice versa.

The provided filter baskets are designed for:

• 1 CUP basket = approx. 8 – 11g
• 2 CUP basket = approx. 16 – 19g

NOTE: You may need to experiment with how much coffee is dosed into the filter basket or how long the grinder needs to run to achieve the correct dose. For example; when using a finer espresso grind with the Single Wall filter baskets, you may need to increase the grind amount to ensure the filter basket is correctly dosed.

THE GRIND

NOTE: This machine is designed only for whole roasted coffee beans. Avoid grinding unroasted green and under-roasted coffee beans. These are dense and not brittle enough to run through a burr grinder. This will damage or break burr grinders and even pose a safety risk. 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 basket and the taste of the espresso. If the grind is too fine (looks like powder and feels like flour when rubbed between the fingers), the water will not flow through the coffee, even when under pressure. The resulting espresso will be OVER EXTRACTED, dark in colour and bitter in flavour. If the grind is too coarse, the water will flow through the ground coffee in the filter basket too quickly. The resulting espresso will be UNDER EXTRACTED and lacking in colour and flavour.

SETTING THE GRIND SIZE
This machine has 30 grind settings to select from, with the size selected displayed on the LCD screen. The default grind size is 15. When adjusting the grind size, a bar will display on the LCD indicating a faster or slower pour.

Use the GRIND SIZE selector on the left side of the machine to adjust the grind size.

GRINDING COFFEE USING THE DOSING FUNNEL™ 54

• Fill the hopper with fresh coffee beans.

• Insert the required filter basket into the portafilter.

• Attach and twist the dosing funnel onto the portafilter.

• Insert the portafilter (with the dosing funnel) into the grinding cradle.

• If required, press the FILTER SIZE button to select the filter basket size; Single or Double.

• If required, turn the GRIND AMOUNT dial to change the grind time; clockwise to increase the time and anti-clockwise to decrease.
  NOTE: The default grind times are 9.5 seconds for a 1 cup filter and 13 seconds for a 2 cup filter.

• Press and release the portafilter to activate the automatic dosing. The LCD will show the filter basket filling.

• If you need to pause the grinding function, press and release the portafilter. The LCD will show PAUSED, it will remain paused for 10 seconds before returning to READY mode.

• Press and release the portafilter to resume grinding.

NOTE: It is normal for the portafilter to appear overfilled with ground coffee.

MANUAL DOSING
To manually dose the coffee, press and hold the portafilter in the grinding cradle until the desired amount of ground coffee has been dosed. To stop grinding, release the portafilter. The timer will count up, displaying the grind time.

TAMPING THE GROUND COFFEE

• Remove the portafilter from the grinding cradle.
• Tap the portafilter several times to collapse and distribute the coffee evenly in the filter basket.
• Using the tamper, tamp down firmly (approx. 10-15kgs of pressure). The amount of pressure is not as important as consistent pressure every time.
• After tamping, remove the dosing funnel from the portafilter.

NOTE: As a guide, the top edge of the cap on the tamper should be level with the top of the filter basket AFTER the coffee has been tamped.
NOTE: We recommend quality 100% Arabica beans with a ‘Roasted On’ date stamped on the bags, not a ‘Best Before’ or ‘Use By’ date. Coffee beans are best consumed between 5 – 20 days after the ‘Roasted On’ date. Stale coffee may pour too quickly from the portafilter and taste bitter and watery.

TRIMMING THE DOSE
The Razor™ precision dose trimming tool allows you to trim the puck to the right level for a consistent extraction.

• Insert the Razor™ dose trimming tool into the filter basket until the shoulders of the tool rest on the rim of the basket. The blade of the dose trimming tool should penetrate the surface of the tamped coffee.

• Rotate the Razor™ dose trimming tool back and forth while holding the portafilter on an angle over a knock box to trim off excess coffee grinds. Your filter basket is now dosed with the correct amount of coffee.

• Wipe excess coffee from the rim of the filter basket to ensure a proper seal is achieved in the group head.

PURGING THE GROUP HEAD
Before placing the portafilter into the group head, run a short flow of water through the group head by pressing the 1 CUP button. This will stabilise the temperature prior to extraction and preheat the portafilter for a consistent shot temperature.

INSERTING THE PORTAFILTER

CAUTION: DO NOT insert the portafilter with the dosing funnel in the group-head. Place the portafilter underneath the group head so that the handle is aligned with the INSERT position. Insert the portafilter into the group head and rotate the handle towards the centre until firm resistance is felt.

EXTRACTING ESPRESSO

• As a guide the espresso will start to flow after 8–12 seconds (infusion time) and should be the consistency of dripping honey.
• If the espresso starts to flow after less than 7 seconds, you have either under dosed the filter basket and /or the grind is too coarse. This is an UNDER EXTRACTED shot.
• If the espresso starts to drip but doesn’t flow after 13 seconds, the grind is too fine. This is an OVER EXTRACTED shot.

PRE-PROGRAMMED SHOT VOLUME – 1 CUP
Press the 1 CUP button once, the button will flash, indicating that it has been selected. The LCD will display PRE-INFUSE and the shot clock will start counting up. Once pre-infusion is complete, the shot will start extracting. A pre-set single espresso volume of approx. 30ml will be extracted. The machine will automatically stop once the pre-set volume has been extracted.

PRE-PROGRAMMED SHOT VOLUME – 2 CUP
Press the 2 CUP button once, the button will flash, indicating that it has been selected and the LCD will display PRE-INFUSE and the shot clock will start counting up. Once pre-infusion is complete, the shot will start extracting. A pre set double espresso volume of approx. 60ml will be extracted. The machine will automatically stop once the pre-set volume has been extracted.

Turn the STEAM dial back to a vertical position to stop steaming. Different brands and types of milk and milk alternatives will texture differently.

• Start with fresh cold milk.
• Fill the milk jug to between the MIN and MAX markings.
• Lift the steam wand and insert into the milk jug with the steam wand tip 1-2cm below the surface of the milk, close to the right-hand side of the jug at a 3 o’clock position.
• Turn the STEAM dial to the .
• Keep the steam wand tip just under the surface of the milk until the milk is spinning clockwise, producing a vortex (whirlpool effect).
• 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 sufficient 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 (60-65°C) when the jug is hot to touch.
• Once the desired temperature has been achieved, turn the STEAM dial back to the vertical position.
