  • The parts of the appliance and the accessories are not dishwasher safe.

Installing the appliance

Important!

  • When you install the appliance, you should respect the following safety warnings:
  • Water penetrating the coffee maker could cause damage. Do not place the appliance near taps or sinks.
  • The appliance could be damaged if the water it contains freezes. Do not install the appliance in a room where the temperature could drop below freezing point.
  • Arrange the cord in such a way that it cannot be damaged by sharp edges or contact with hot surfaces (e.g. electric hot plates).
  • The appliance gives off heat. After positioning the appliance on the worktop, leave a space of at least 3 cm between the surfaces of the appliance and the side and rear walls, and leave at least 15 cm of space above the appliance.

Connecting the appliance

  • Check that the main power supply voltage corresponds to that indicated on the rating plate on the bottom of the appliance.
  • Connect the appliance to an efficiently earthed and correctly installed socket with a minimum current rating of 10A only. If the power socket does not match the plug on the appliance, have the socket replaced with a suitable type by a qualified professional?

Filling the water tank

  • Open the Lid and lift upwards using the handle inside.
  • Then fill the tank with fresh clean water, taking care not to exceed the MAX level then close the lid.
  • Note: Do not exceed the maximum line of water marked on the tank.
  • More simply, the tank can also be filled without removing it, by pouring the cold water directly from a jug.
  • Note: Do not add hot water or other liquids. Make sure that the Water Reservoir is clean & free of any debris, as any fine particles can block the water flow and damage the Espresso Machine. Purified water is preferred.
  • Set up the water tank vertically align the buckles to the hole on the back of the machine, and press it down to be parallel to the top of the machine.
  • Note: Please pay attention to correctly inserting the water tank into the buckle installation along the track on the back of the device to ensure that the water tank will not move. Incorrect installation may cause fluid to leak out.
  • Note: It is normal for there to be water in the space under the tank. This should therefore be dried regularly with a clean sponge.

First use At first, use, rinse the internal circuit as follows:

  1. Press the ON/OFF button, the Power indicator light turns on and the coffee machine starts to preheat automatically the light indicator of the 1-Coffee and 2-Coffee buttons will start flashing until the preheating process is over.
  2. Once the preheating is finished, the 1-Coffee and 2-Coffee buttons will light up continuously, the appliance is ready for rinse.
  3. Place filter for 1 or 2 cups in the Portafilter. Insert Portafilter until it slides to the back and cannot be pushed in any further.
  4. Insert the Portafilter into the boiler outlet with a 45°movement to the left and turn it to the right to lock it in place. The Portafilter must be perpendicular to the machine or slightly tilted towards the right.
    • Note: No ground coffee in the filter.
  5. Place a container with a minimum capacity of 500 ml under the boiler outlet and press the 1-Coffee or 2-Coffee button, hot water will come out from the appliance, use the water to clean filters or cups. The water will stop when the light flashes.
    • Note: The default maximum water delivery time of 1-Coffee is 15 seconds, and The default maximum water delivery time of 2-Coffee is 28 seconds.
  6. Empty the container and put it under the hot water/steam spout. When the light indicators of 1-Coffee and 2-Coffee keep bright, press the steam button. Once the light indicator of the steam button stops flashing, the appliance is ready.
  7. Turn the steam/hot water knob to the position and deliver to empty the water tank, then turn the knob to the ‘OFF’ position.
    • Note: The above operation can be repeated several times to achieve a better rinse effect.

Brewing Espresso How to prepare espresso using pre-ground coffee

  1. Place the ground coffee filter in the Portafilter.
  2. Use a measuring spoon to scoop up pre-ground coffee. To make just one coffee, place one level measure of pre-ground coffee (7 g) in the filter. To make two coffees, place two loosely filled measures (14 g) of pre-ground coffee in the filter.
    • Important! For correct operation, before filling with pre-ground coffee, make sure there are no coffee residues left in the filter from the last time you made coffee.
  3. Distribute the pre-ground coffee evenly and press lightly with the temper. Correct pressing of the pre-ground coffee is essential to obtain a good espresso. If you press too firmly, the coffee will be delivered slowly and will be strong. If you press too lightly, the coffee will be delivered quickly and will be weak.
  4. Remove any excess coffee from the rim of the Portafilter and attach the Portafilter to the appliance. Keep the Portafilter flat, align, insert and turn into Group Head. After successful installation, the Portafilter should be in the centre position.
  5. Place the cup or cups under the Portafilter spouts.
  6. Make sure the lights corresponding to the coffee buttons are on, then press the 1-Coffee or 2-Coffee button. The appliance proceeds to make the coffee and delivery is interrupted automatically.
  7. To remove the Portafilter, turn the handle from right to left.

The danger of burns! To avoid splashes, never remove the Portafilter while the appliance is delivering coffee. Always wait for a few seconds after delivery.
Tips for a hotter espresso: A cold Portafilter, filter and cup can reduce the extraction temperature enough to significantly affect the quality of your espresso. To make a hotter espresso, follow these steps:

  • It is recommended that you warm the cups before making coffee by rinsing them with a little hot water.
  • Attach the Portafilter to the appliance with the filter in place but without adding ground coffee. Using the same cup that will later be used to make the espresso, press the 1-Coffee button and deliver hot water into the cup to heat it.
  • Rest the cups you will be using on the cup warmer which becomes hot during operation.

The danger of burns! The metal parts of the Portafilter may be hot.

Tips for perfect espresso extraction

  • A great espresso is about achieving the perfect balance between sweetness, acidity, and bitterness.
  • The flavour 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 ground coffee and tamping pressure.
  • Experiment by adjusting these factors just one at a time to achieve the taste of your preference.
  • For best results, use fresh-ground, dark, espresso roast coffee.
  • If espresso pre-ground coffee is used, store the unused portion in an airtight container and keep it in a cool, dark area for up to one week.
  • The grind of the coffee will affect the taste of the coffee and how the appliance works. If the grind is too coarse, water will flow too fast through the coffee and result in a weaker flavour. If the grind is too fine, the flavour may be too strong or bitter, and the grounds may clog the filter.
  • Espresso beans may be ground in a coffee grinder. For best results, use a coffee grinder on the fine setting. If grinding espresso in a store or using a burr mill, then use a setting that is one to two notches coarser than the espresso setting.
  • Grind your espresso so that it looks gritty like salt or sand. It is too fine if it looks like powder and feels like flour. If the coffee is ground too fine, then the water will not flow through the coffee.
  • We recommend 7-9g for a single shot and 13-15g for a double shot. The amount will vary depending on your preferences and the coffee grounds you use. For best results, the amount of coffee grinds dosed should remain consistent.
  • Evenly tamp (press) coffee grinds to the level indicated, with a firm force of 20-30 lbs. It is normal for the correct dose of coffee grinds to appear overfilled in the Filter Basket before tamping.
  • Always use cold water to make coffee. Warm water or other liquids could cause damage to the appliance.
  • Filtered water will make the best-tasting coffee.

Frothing Milk How to make milk froth

  1. Press the steam button. The steam button will start to flash if the temperature is not high enough to make steam. Once the preheating has finished, the steam button will light up.
  2. Turn the steam/hot water knob slightly counterclockwise to eliminate any condensation from the wand then turn the knob off again.
  3. Place the jug, half-filled with cold milk, under the steam wand.
  4. Place the steam nozzle 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. It is important to keep the steam wand not at the centre but close to the edge of the jug, with an appropriate angle to produce a stronger vortex. It is important to keep the steam wand 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/hot water knob to position. The steam will come out of the steam wand.
    • Note: Do not steam for more than 60 seconds.
    • Note: To froth the milk correctly, the steam nozzle 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 has been achieved, the steam nozzle 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 un-frothed milk.
  7. Once the desired result has been achieved, turn the steam/hot water 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. Press the steam button again to quit the steam mode.
    • The danger of burns! The steam wand may be very hot during and after use. To avoid burns, move it only by placing your fingers on the rubber tip fitted to the steam wand.
  9. Turn the steam/hot water knob on to eliminate any residue milk from the wand then turn the knob off again.
    • Note: For cleaning the inner of the frothing nozzle. Turn the steam control knob on first and press the 2-Coffee button, then hot water will flow out and wash the frothing nozzle.
  10. Do not make espresso immediately after frothing milk. The temperature of the boiler is too high, and the machine is under the over-heating protection. Under the protection, the 1-Coffee and 2-Coffee buttons will flash if you press either of them.
  11. Pour the frothed milk into the espresso. Now your cappuccino or caffè latte is ready.

Tips for milk frothing

Milk Frothing is the steaming of milk. Milk that has been frothed correctly has a thick, rich microfoam with a silky sheen. Frothing involves both heating and aerating milk using steam. Vital elements include positioning the steam wand, when to adjust the milk pitcher position, and reaching the correct temperature.
To prepare a traditional cappuccino or caffè latte, we recommend:

  • Using cold (around 39°F), fresh whole milk. The density of the frothed milk will depend on the milk’s fat content.
  • Using stainless steel, circular, rounded milk jugs, narrower at the top, with a spout, necessary to make cappuccino decorations.
  • For the best milk frothing results every time, let the steam wand preheat.
  • Place the steam wand arm in the Pitcher spout at the noon position, with the steam wand spout in the milk at the 3 o’clock position, a finger width away from the edge of the Pitcher. Keep the steam wand spout just under the surface of the milk. Turn the steam/hot water knob to the position to start frothing. A whirlpool action should be created in the Pitcher.
  • How air is introduced to the milk determines the consistency of the foam. If large gulps of air are added to the milk, the foam will have large bubbles. Introducing air to the milk in a controlled, gentle fashion, indicated by a gentle hissing sound, will ensure the milk has fine aerated microfoam.
  • Barista Tip: Milk Frothing Sounds
  • Gurgling – Tip not deep enough, raise Pitcher.
  • Smooth Hissing – Just right for a latte.
  • Screeching – Tip too deep, lower Pitcher.
  • As the steam heats & froths the milk, the milk will stretch causing the level of the milk in the Pitcher to rise. As this happens follow the level of the milk by lowering the Pitcher, keeping the Steam Wand Tip just below the surface.
  • An indication of reaching the correct milk temperature is when the Milk Pitcher base can only be touched comfortably for approximately 3 seconds.
  • Barista Tip: Milk Temperature
  • Under – If not heated long enough, it will be warm with little froth.
  • Optimum – See the below table.
  • Over – If heated for too long it will start to boil around 162°F and will have a burnt taste with all froth lost.

Over-heating Protection

After having used the steam wand and exited the steam function, the machine is under the over-heating protection. Under the protection, the 1-cup and 2-cup buttons will flash simultaneously if you press either of them, indicating that the boiler needs to be cooled off to reach the precise espresso brewing temperature.
Please proceed as below 4 steps to cool down the machine:

  • a. Under the over-heating protection, turn the steam/hot water knob to position then press the 1-Coffee or 2-Coffee button to make hot water.
  • b. Let hot water come out from the steam wand to cool down the boiler.
  • c. Once the temperature of the boiler is cooled down, all the buttons will be fully illuminated.
  • d. Return the knob to the ‘OFF’ position, and the coffee machine is ready for the next brew.

Making Hot Water
Hot water is used for warming cups, making tea or cooling down the appliance.
To make hot water, please follow these guidelines:

  1. When preheating is complete, the indicators for the 1-Coffee and 2-Coffee buttons will light up solidly.

  2. Press the ON/OFF button.
  3. Make sure the Portafilter is not attached and position a recipient under the steam wand and boiler outlet.
  4. Wait for the lights to come on steadily, indicating that the appliance is ready for use.
  5. Repeat the operation steps of ‘Making hot water’ for internal cleaning, and operate repeatedly until the water tank is empty.
  6. The appliance is now ready for rinsing through with clean water. Extract the water tank, empty it, rinse under running water, fill it with fresh water up to the MAX level and put it back in the appliance.
