Sunbeam’s Safety Precautions
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR YOUR SUNBEAM
ESPRESSO MACHINE · Always place the unit on a flat, level surface. · Do not
operate without water in reservoir.
Fill reservoir with only clean and cold water. Observe the maximum filling
volume is 2 litres. · Do not remove the Group Handle during the espresso pour
or water flow as the unit is under pressure. Removing the Group Handle during
either of these operations can lead to a scalding or injury. · The Steam & Hot
Water Wand becomes very hot during texturing milk and water flow. This may
cause burns in case of contact, therefore avoid any direct contact with the
wand. · Always disconnect the plug from the power outlet prior to cleaning the
espresso machine or if there is any problem during the coffee
making process. · Do not allow the Power Cord to come into
contact with the hot parts of the espresso machine, including the Cup Warming
Plate and the Steam & Hot Water Wand. · Do not place hands directly under the
steam, hot water or espresso pour as this can lead to a scalding or injury. ·
The temperature of accessible surfaces may be high when the appliance is
operating. Even after use, the heating element surface is subject to residual
heat after use. · Do not use an appliance for any purpose other than its

Thermoblock Fast Heating System
Italian Crema System
DUAL WALL
The thermoblock ensures quick heat up, and a precise water temperature for the
best coffee extraction, and milk texturing.
The thermoblock is fitted with a PID controller which continually monitors the
water temperature to ensure water is always delivered to the coffee grinds at
the precise temperature needed.
An espresso is made with hot rather than boiling water. The thermoblock heats
the water so that the espresso extracts at 92°C (just below boiling point) for
optimum extraction of oils from the coffee grinds. Temperatures above this
will burn the grinds resulting in a bitter taste.
15 BAR Italian Pump
15 BAR
Dual Wall Filter Baskets create additional back pressure creating a subtle
aeration for a great espresso extraction and steady pour. They ensure a rich
velvety espresso with a signature layer of golden crema.
Dual Wall Filter Baskets are designed for use with pre-ground grinds, however
they can also be used with freshly ground grinds.
Auto Shot Volumetric Control
Auto Shot is the easiest way to create a great espresso. Just select ONE or
TWO CUP on the DIAL, and it pours just the right amount, then automatically
stops.
Café 58mm Group Head & Handle
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.
The 15 BAR pump is fitted with a pressure relief system, to limit the pressure
to 15 bar (for protection from over-pressure). After extraction, when the DIAL
is returned to the vertical READY position, any remaining pressure will be
released (purged) into the Drip Tray.
Pre-Infusion Small amounts of water are released onto the tamped coffee grinds
prior to the steady flow of water, for a richer flavoured espresso.

58
The Group Head and the Group Handle are commercial sized, 58mm, just like your
local café.
The larger 58mm Group Handle holds more coffee grinds, resulting in a true
café tasting coffee. The wider size ensures the grinds are more evenly spread
and easier to fill, for improved flavour extraction.
The larger 58mm Filter Baskets allow a more consistent grind compaction,
resulting in a better tasting coffee, and an easier to empty spent coffee
cake.

Tips for Making the Perfect Cup
The way the espresso pours will tell you everything. Look out for:
1. Extraction Time Extraction time provides a good indicator of the quality
of the pour. The optimum time per shot varies between different bean types and
between freshly & pre-ground coffee grinds. However, in general, the time will
be between 20-30 seconds for both One & Two Cup shots.
2. Type of Extraction · Optimum Extraction A quality pour has a steady flow
with a consistency similar to that of warm honey. The resulting crema is dark
golden. The sweetest flavours and oils have been extracted creating a rich
tasting espresso.
Crema Body Heart –
4. Grinds You may need to vary the coffee grind size when using different
beans.
Important: Ensure beans or pre-ground grinds are fresh. Old pre-ground grinds
and old beans, no matter the grind size, will not produce a good tasting
espresso.
5. Grind Dosage For best results, grind dosage should remain consistent: One
Cup: 10-12g – about 2 Tbsp. Two Cups: 20-22g – about 1/4 metric cup.
· Under Extraction The pour is quick and light in colour, the resulting crema
is thin with a creamy light brown colour which quickly dissipates. This occurs
when too little of the essential oils, flavours and colours from the coffee
grinds have been extracted. This creates a sour tasting espresso.
· Over Extraction There may be no pour, or it may be slow and drip throughout
the entire pour. The resulting crema is very dark. This occurs when too much
of the essential oils, flavours and colours from the coffee grinds have been
extracted. This creates a bitter tasting espresso.
One Cup 10-12g
Two Cups 20-22g
Note: When using pre-ground bagged grinds, try using a 2 step dose & tamp method: Dose in half the grinds then tamp & repeat.
6. Tamp Force For best results, evenly tamp (press) grinds to the level indicated.
Freshly Ground Tamp Force 10-15kg
Pre-ground Tamp Force
15-20kg
3. Look for Colour Change The optimum shot contains 3 elements:
Heart: At the base – starts out dark brown. Body: Blends with the heart –
becomes a rich caramel with reddish reflections. Crema: The layer on top of
the body dark golden.
10
Note: Isolating changes to Grind Size & Tamp Force will assist in producing a consistent taste every time.

^ When using pre-ground bagged grinds, use the Dual Wall Filter Baskets. ^^
Ensure beans or pre-ground grinds are fresh. Old pre-ground grinds & old
beans, no
matter the grind size, will not produce a good tasting espresso.
- When using pre-ground bagged grinds, try using a 2 step dose & tamp method: Dose in half the grinds then tamp & repeat.
** When using pre-ground bagged grinds try tamping a little harder, 15-20Kg of force.

Tips for Milk Texturing
Milk texturing is the steaming of milk.
Key Elements to Textured 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 textured correctly has been heated
to between 60-65°C, and has a thick, rich microfoam with a silky sheen. It’s
all about the temperature, positioning of the Steam Wand and when you move the
Milk Jug.
1. Fill Milk Jug Add cold milk around 4°C into a chilled clean Stainless
Steel Jug. Fill to the bottom of the spout.
Note: The volume of milk will increase or ‘stretch’ during texturing, so don’t
overfill the Jug.
FILL
FINISHED MAX
3. Position Place the Steam Wand Arm in the Jug spout at the 12 o’clock
position, with the Steam Wand Tip in the milk at the 3 o’clock position. Keep
the Steam Wand Tip just under the surface of the milk. This will create a
whirlpool action.
12 O’CLOCK
3 O’CLOCK
4. Sound 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.
MAX
A larger capacity Milk Jug is available for purchase from Sunbeam. Details are
on the back page.
2. Steam Warm Up For best milk texturing results every time, ensure steam has
warmed up before texturing milk. Steam is ready when STEAM LIGHT is fully ON.
You will also hear the Pump start.
Pro Tip: Milk Texturing Sounds
· Screeching – Tip too deep, lower Jug.
· Smooth Hissing – Just right for latte.
· Gurgling – Tip not deep enough, raise Jug.
5. Keeping Steam Tip Position As the steam heats and textures the milk, the
milk will stretch causing the level of the milk in the Jug to rise. As this
happens follow the level of the milk by lowering the Jug, keeping the Steam
Wand Tip just below the surface.

Tips for Milk Texturing
6. Amount of Foam Create the amount of micro-foam you want. Cappuccinos traditionally have more microfoam than a flat white. (See Coffee Styles on the next page)
7. Immerse Tip After you have created the amount of foam you want, immerse the Steam Wand half way down the milk level. This heats all the milk and pulls in milk instead of air. This ensures the milk and foam is blended together, making it denser and smoother.
10. The Finishing Touches Pour from the Milk Jug into your cup in one steady
motion.
11. Purging the Steam Wand After turning the DIAL to the vertical READY
position and removing the Jug from the Steam Wand, place the Steam Wand over
the Drip Tray and purge the Steam Wand to remove any milk that has been sucked
up.
8. Correct Temperature An indicator that correct milk temperature has been reached is when the Jug can only be held for approximately 3 seconds.
To purge turn the DIAL to the HOT WATER position for a few seconds, then
return the DIAL to the vertical READY position.
RETURN
Pro Tip: Milk Temperature · Under – If not heated long enough, it
will be warm with little texture. · Optimum – between 60-65°C. · Over – If
heated for too long it will
start to boil around 72°C, and will have a burnt taste with all texture lost.
9. Tap & Swirl the Jug Gently tapping the Jug on the benchtop helps release
larger trapped air bubbles.
HOT WATER
12. Wipe Steam Wand Wipe the Steam Wand Arm and Tip with a clean damp cloth
to remove any milk residue.
Swirling helps the milk and froth to combine for an even consistency and a silky appearance.

Care & Cleaning
The espresso making process involves extracting oils out of coffee grinds.
Deposits of grinds and oils build up over time affecting the taste of the
coffee and operation of the espresso machine.
Purging water through the Group Head and Steam Wand, before and after making
each coffee, is the easiest way to keep your machine clean. (See Operating
Guide page 6-9)
Important: Below parts are NOT DISHWASHER SAFE: – Group Handle – Drip Tray –

Group Head Rubber Seal A rubber seal is located in the Group Head and creates
a seal against the Filter Basket when making an espresso.
Important: When your espresso machine is not being used, we recommend that you
do not leave the Group Handle inserted into the Group Head, as this will
reduce the life of the seal.
Over time this seal loses its elasticity and may require replacement. The seal
may need replacing when watery espresso leaks from around the Group Head, or
if the Group Handle feels loose when fully rotated to the centre position.
Note: Contact Sunbeam should you think that the Group Head seal needs
replacing. Do not attempt to change the seal without first consulting Sunbeam.

Descaling: Group Head & Steam Wand
After continued use, your espresso machine may develop a build-up of mineral
deposits, and therefore require occasional `descaling’.
We recommend descaling your machine every 4-6 months, although this period
will depend on the hardness of water and frequency of use.
Descaling Solution You have 3 options: A. Sunbeam Espresso Machine Descaling
Tablets (EM0010). or B. Sunbeam Liquid Descaler (KE0100). A & B Descaling
options are available for purchase from Sunbeam. Details are on the back page.

Troubleshooting Guide
PROBLEM
Possible Cause
What To Do
Espresso tastes burnt
Type of coffee being used.
Using steam function just before pouring an espresso shot.
Coffee is too cold
Milk may not be heated enough.
No steam from the Steam Wand
Steam Wand Tip is blocked.
No water in the Water Reservoir.
Not enough froth when texturing
Milk may not be fresh.
Milk temperature is too warm.
Type of Jug being used.
Milk has been boiled.
The milk is making bubbles rather than micro-foam.
Milk is not taking in enough air.
Pump makes an unusually noise
No water in reservoir.
Water Reservoir not correctly positioned.
Red Plug from the packaging may still be inserted.
Try different brands of coffee.
Allow time for the thermoblock to purge steam and cool down before pouring a
shot of espresso. The STEAM LIGHT should have finished flashing & the READY
LIGHT should be fully illuminated.
Ensure that milk is heated properly during texturing, but be sure not to heat
too much and boil the milk. See Milk Texturing Section pages 12-13.
See Care & Cleaning, pages 18-19.
Fill reservoir with water. Run Hot Water through the Steam Wand to ensure
water flows.
Ensure the milk being used is fresh.
Ensure you start texturing with milk that is around 4°C.
For best texturing results use a chilled Stainless Steel Milk Jug.
Start again with fresh, chilled milk. Heat till the Jug can only be held for
approximately 3 second, 60-65°C.
Ensure the Steam Wand Tip is positioned correctly. It should be just below the
surface of the milk. Tap the Jug on the benchtop when finished to release
larger trapped air bubbles.
Keep the Steam Wand Tip just under the surface of the milk. This will help to
introduce air to the milk to create micro-foam.
Fill the Water Reservoir.
Place the Water Reservoir firmly into the back of the unit.
Remove the red Plug found at the base of the Water Reservoir.
