Beans and the Bean Hopper
The Integra is configured to deliver both regular and decaffeinated espresso beverages.
Whole espresso roast beans are placed in the bean hopper compartments, which are gravity fed to the grinders. Always use fresh, whole espresso roast beans to ensure a quality beverage.
WARNING: Never place espresso roast beans in the grinder using your hand(s).
WARNING: Do not place ground coffee, or other foreign materials, in the bean hopper.
Storing Espresso Roast Beans
Espresso roast beans are typically sealed in airtight packaging by the roaster. Once the bag has been opened, the freshness of the beans will begin to decrease.
NOTE: Do not store espresso roast beans in a freezer.
Bean Hopper
The large bean hopper compartment (right side) holds approximately 3lbs/1.5kg of regular beans, and the small bean hopper compartment (left side) holds approximately 2lbs/1kg of decaffeinated beans. Hoppers for only one bean hold approximately 5lbs/2.5kg of beans.
The bean hopper must be placed on the machine with the large bean hopper compartment on the right side, or the hopper will not properly feed beans into the machine.
Directions for Filling Bean Hopper

  1. Remove the hopper lid.
  2.  Pour the beans into the hopper compartments.
  3. Replace the hopper lid.

NOTE: If it is necessary to remove the bean hopper, insert both hopper stoppers first. Be sure to remove the hopper stoppers when finished.
DO Use fresh, whole, espresso roast beans.
DO NOT Place ground coffee into the bean hopper.
DO NOT Place foreign materials in the bean hopper.
DO NOT Feed beans into the grinder by hand.
The Hopper Stopper
The hopper stopper prevents beans from passing through the hopper chute when a bean hopper with beans is being removed from the machine.
Using the Hopper Stopper

  1. To insert a hopper stopper, slide it between the beans and the interior hopper wall.
  2.  Use pressure when inserting the hopper stopper, to ensure that there is no space between the interior hopper wall and the hopper stopper.
  3. With both hopper stoppers in place, a full hopper can be removed from the machine.

NOTE: Both hopper stoppers must be used when removing the bean hopper.
To remove the hopper stoppers once the bean hopper is back in its proper position on top of the Integra, simply pull the hopper stoppers out of the bean hopper compartments.CONCORDIA 2900 Integra Coffee System - Bean
Hopper
Removing a Bean Hopper
Once both hopper stoppers are in place, simply lift the bean hopper upwards.

Milk and the Milk System

Refrigeration Unit
The Integra features an on-board refrigeration unit to house the milk used for drinks. The refrigeration unit is designed to ccommodate one standard, off- the-shelf one gallon/four liter  milk container.
The following types of milk can be used in the Integra:

  • Whole
  • 2%
  • 1%
  • Non-Fat

WARNING: Do NOT use any type of flavored milk in the milk delivery system. The sugars in flavored milk (including eggnog) can damage the machine and clog the milk delivery tubes. Flavored milk can only be used on machines with the steam wand option. For more information on the steam wand option, please see page 21.
NOTE: For machines with the optional steam wand feature, flavored milks can be heated using the steam wand.
Placing Milk in the Machine

  1. Open the refrigeration unit door and partially place the opened milk container in the refrigeration unit.
  2.  Place the milk pick-up tube in the milk container.
  3. Slide the milk container into the refrigeration unit while feeding the milk pick-up tube fully into the milk container.
  4.  Close the refrigeration unit door.

DO make sure the milk pick-up tube is fed into the middle of the container.
DO NOT place the milk pick-up tube into the milk container handle.
DO NOT kink or bend the milk pick-up tube.
DO NOT pull excessively on the milk pick-up tube.
Checking the Refrigeration Unit Temperature The temperature for the refrigeration unit is always displayed on the blue LCD.
If the refrigeration unit door has been open for an extended period, it is normal for the temperature will rise. To have the refrigeration unit return to the proper temperature, close the refrigeration unit door, and then check the temperature in an hour. If the temperature is not correct at that time, please contact Concordia Coffee Systems for assistance.

The Flavor System

Integra 1 and Integra 4 machines only
The Integra 1 and Integra 4 provide flavors for customer drinks. The Integra 1 offers an option for chocolate sauce and the Integra 4 offers options for chocolate sauce, caramel or vanilla syrup, or chai. These flavors are automatically dispensed and infused into the milk to ensure an even distribution of flavor in the drink.
Flavor Storage
The flavor storage area contains the flavors used to make the drinks. Each dispensing tube has a colored band, and each flavor box has a corresponding sticker with the same color. It is important to ensure the sticker color on the flavor tube matches the sticker color on the flavor box, to ensure customers receive the correct flavor in their drink and to prevent flavor tubes from being contaminated with secondary flavors.

Black Yellow White Red
 Chocolate  Caramel  Vanilla Chai

CONCORDIA 2900 Integra Coffee System - Flavor Storage

It is necessary to periodically check the flavor boxes, as the available flavor levels are not automatically monitored by the machine. Lift the box to check the level of flavor; if the box is very lightweight, the flavor level is getting low and it may be necessary to replace the box.
Do NOT lift a flavor box by grabbing a connector.
Replacing Empty Flavor Boxes
Before replacing a flavor box, verify the bag is empty.
For chocolate sauce boxes, the bag inside the box may crease or partially collapse and it may only be necessary to manipulate the bag for chocolate sauce to flow properly. For instructions on how to do this, please contact Concordia Coffee Systems for assistance.
Removing a Flavor Box Connector

  1. To catch any flavor drips, place a cleaning rag under the nozzle.
  2.  Hold the nozzle in place with one hand.
  3.  Grasp the connector with your other hand.
  4. Using your thumb, push on the left side of the connector handle to release the connector, and then pull from nozzle.

CONCORDIA 2900 Integra Coffee System - Box ConnectorOnce the nozzle is removed from the connector, remove the empty box from the flavor storage area. Do NOT place the nozzle on the floor.
NOTE: It is normal for a small amount of syrup or sauce in a bag. A small amount of syrup or sauce may also drip when the nozzle is removed from the bag.
Replacing a Flavor Box

  1. Open the flavor box at the “OPEN HERE” location, and then extract the connector.

  2. Remove the protective seal from the connector.

  3.  Clean the nozzle and o-ring thoroughly with a wet cloth to remove any debris, provide lubrication, and remove any syrup or chocolate sauce residue.
    IMPORTANT: Wet the black o-ring seal at the tip of the nozzle with water prior to inserting it into a new flavor box. Inserting a dry o-ring will result in leaks.

  4. Hold the connector firmly in your hand.

  5. Firmly insert the correct color-coded nozzle into the connector, until the nozzle handle clicks into place.

WARNING: Do not try to insert the nozzle without holding the connector, or the connector may be pushed into the box.
Chocolate Sauce
It is necessary to pre-warm the chocolate sauce to a minimum temperature of 85°F/29°C, otherwise it will not flow properly. If chocolate sauce is not flowing and the flavor box is not empty, confirm the warming tray is on and operating. If it is not, contact Concordia Coffee Systems for assistance. The power switch for the chocolate sauce flavor tray is on the back of the tray.
NOTE: It can take up to 24 hours for a bag of chocolate to warm up to the proper temperature. The warming tray has room for two boxes of chocolate sauce. Due to the length of time necessary to fully heat a box of chocolate sauce, storing a second box of chocolate sauce on the warming tray is strongly recommended.
WARNING: The chocolate flavor tube may rupture if cold chocolate sauce is used.

FAQ

Q Can I use different types of espresso roast beans?

Yes. You are free to choose the type of bean that you will use in the Integra. If you plan to change the type of beans being used, you must schedule a calibration service call.

Q Can I use regular coffee beans in my espresso machine?

No. Use only espresso roast beans.

Q Can I change the brand of milk?

Yes. Changing the brand of milk may result in a noticeable change in drink quality.

Q Can I change the type of milk on offer?

Yes. You are free to use any type of milk that you desire. If you change from whole milk to 2%, you may notice a difference in steamed and foamed milk, but this difference is not significant enough to affect overall drink quality.

Q Can I use flavored milk(s) in my espresso machine?

No. Never use flavored milk, such as eggnog or chocolate milk. The machine’s internal components are not designed to handle the additional sugars in flavored milk. For machines with the optional steam wand feature, flavored milks can be heated using the steam wand.

Q How do I cancel a drink?

Press the CANCEL button to stop the pouring of a drink.

Q How do I change the cup size? For example, I want to change from a 12oz/360mL cup to a 10oz/300mL cup.

Contact Concordia Coffee Systems to schedule a Calibration Service Call, and a Concordia-Certified Technician will adjust your machine to the new drink size. A Calibration Service Call is not covered under the Machine Warranty or Extended Service Agreement.

Q If I want to clean my bean hopper, how do I pull them off the machine without spilling the beans?
