Functions
FIRST USE
- Remove the water tank and fill it with potable water to the indicated MAX line. Place the water tank back firmly onto the machine.
- Ensure that the drip tray is firmly placed on the machine.
- Place a 17 fl. oz (500ml) container under the portafilter and steam wand for the water drips for this first cycle.
- Plug the power cord in the power outlet, and the 1 Cup button illuminates.
- Press the 1 Cup button to begin the first use cycle.
NOTE
The first use cycle is to rinse the machine and prime the heating system.
STANDBY MODE
To turn off the operation and enter standby mode, press the 1 Cup and Hot
Water buttons for 0.5 seconds simultaneously.
NOTE
The unit will enter ‘standby mode’ when idle or no interaction from the user
after 10 minutes.
FILLING THE WATER TANK
Lift the water tank from the machine.
Remove the water tank lid and add potable water to the water tank, filling to
the MAX marking indicated.
Replace the water tank onto the machine, press down ensuring it is properly
attached and sitting flush against the back of the machine.
NOTE
Machine LED lights will flash 6 times for 3 seconds when no water is detected
in the water tank.
FILTER BASKETS
Single Wall Filter Baskets Use Single Wall filter baskets if grinding fresh
whole coffee beans.
Single Wall filter baskets allow you to experiment with grind, dose, and tamp
to create a more balanced espresso.
Dual Wall Filter Baskets
Use Dual Wall filter baskets if using preground coffee. Dual Wall filter
baskets regulate the pressure and help to optimize the extraction regardless
of the grind, dose, tamp pressure or freshness.
NOTE
Regardless of whether you use Single Wall or Dual Wall filter 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.
Use the 1 cup filter basket when brewing a single cup and the 2 cup filter
baskets when brewing 2 cups or a stronger single cup or mug.
You will need to adjust the grind amount and size if switching from a single
basket to a double basket, or vice versa.
The provided filter baskets are designed for:
1 Cup filter basket = 8-11g
2 Cup filter basket = 16-19g
THE GRIND
When grinding coffee beans, the grind size should be fine but not too fine.
The grind size will affect the rate at which the 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 color
and bitter in flavor.
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 color and flavor.
COFFEE DOSE AND TAMPING
- Insert the filter basket into the portafilter.
- Grind enough coffee to fill the filter basket.
- Tap the portafilter several times to collapse and distribute the coffee evenly in the filter basket.
- Using the tamper, tamp down firmly (approx. 30-40 lbs. (15-20kgs) of pressure). The amount of pressure is not as important as the consistent pressure every time.
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 bag, 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 spouts and taste bitter and watery.
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 or 2 Cup button. This will
stabilize the temperature prior to extraction.
INSERTING THE PORTAFILTER
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 center until resistance is felt.
Place your cup/s under the portafilter on the drip tray.
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, either under-dose the filter basket or the grind is too coarse.
This is an UNDER EXTRACTED shot.
If the espresso starts to drip but doesn’t flow after 12 seconds, the grind is
too fine. This is an OVER EXTRACTED shot.
PRE-PROGRAMMED SHOT VOLUME
– 1 CUP Press the 1 Cup button for less than 1 second, the button will flash indicating that it has been selected. A preset single espresso volume of approximately 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 for less than a second, the button will flash
indicating that it has been selected. A preset double espresso volume of
approximately 60ml will be extracted. The machine will automatically stop once
the pre-set volume has been extracted.
NOTE
Pressing the corresponding 1 Cup or 2 Cup button during the programmed
espresso extraction will immediately stop the extraction.
PROGRAMMING COFFEE VOLUME
Press and hold the 1 Cup and 2 Cup buttons for 2 seconds, the buttons will
illuminate and flash.
To set the 1 Cup volume:
- Press the 1 Cup button for about 3 seconds to start the extraction.
- Press the 1 Cup button again to stop the extraction. The modified volume will be saved. To set the 2 Cup volume, follow the above steps and select the 2 Cup button to start and stop the extraction.
NOTES
- If no user input after 30 seconds. The machine returns to ‘ready mode’
- The modified coffee volume will be saved into memory for the next use or when the machine is restarted.
- Pressing the steam or hot water button at any stage will cancel the operation and the machine will return to ready mode without saving any coffee volume program.
MANUAL PRE-INFUSION AND SHOT VOLUME
Press and hold the 1 Cup or 2 Cup button for more than a second. After one
second the pump will start at pre-infusion pressure and continue while the
button is pressed. Release the button to start the extraction. Press any
button again to stop the extraction.
MANUAL MILK TEXTURING
- Lift the steam wand and insert into the milk jug with the steam wand tip 3/4 inch (1-2cm) below the surface of the milk, close to the right-hand side of the jug at a 3 o’clock position.
- Press the STEAM button to begin texturing
- 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 140-149 F (60-65°C) when the jug is hot to touch.
- When texturing is close to acceptable desired the result, press any button to stop texturing.
- After the steam is released completely, remove the steam wand from the milk jug.
- Wipe the wand and tip with a clean damp cloth.
STEAM WAND MANUAL PURGE
To reduce steam wand blockages, we recommend running steam through the steam
wand after milk texturing. Lower and point steam wand directly on drip tray
and away from users and press the steam button to run steam to rinse steam
wand, or press and hold the steam button for 3 seconds, to activate the steam
wand purge. This will run short water pulses through the steam wand.
NOTE
Both 1 Cup and 2 Cup buttons will blink during the steam purge function.
WARNING
After pressing steam button, the steam can’t stop immediately, it needs a few
seconds to completely stop steam.
STEAM WAND BLOCKED
Regularly check steam performance. If the steam wand is blocked, it will
immediately stop operating. See ‘Cleaning the Steam Wand’ for further
instructions.
HOT WATER OPERATON
Hot
water through the steam wand When the machine is on ‘ready mode’, press hot
water button, and hot water flow will start through the steam wand. Press any
button to stop hot water flow.
WARNING
Cup temperature is at 194°F (90°C). Be careful in handling hot beverages.
EXTRACTION TIPS
A great espresso is about achieving the perfect balance between sweetness,
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 ground coffee and tamping
pressure. Experiment by adjusting these factors just one at a time to achieve
the taste of your preference.
CORRECT EXTRACTION
- The flow starts after 8–12 secs
- Flow slowly like warm honey
- Crema is golden brown with a fine mousse texture
- Espresso is dark brown
AFTER EXTRACTION
REMOVE USED
GRINDS
Used grinds will form a coffee ‘puck’. If the puck is wet, refer to the ‘Under
Extraction’ section.
RINSE
FILTER
BASKET
Keep the filter basket clean to prevent blockages. Without ground coffee in
the filter basket, lock the portafilter into the machine and run hot water
through.
UNDER EXTRACTION
- The flow starts after 1– 6 secs
- Flow fast like water
- Crema is thin and pale
- Espresso is pale brown
- Tastes bitter/sharp, weak, and watery
SOLUTIONS
EXPERIMENT WITH GRIND:
- The grind needs to be finer for a slower extraction.
- Ensure you are controlling the dose.
Adjust & re-test
Tamp using 30-40 lbs (15–20kg) of pressure. The top edge of the cap on the
tamper should be level with the top of the filter basket AFTER tamping.
OVER
EXTRACTION
- The flow starts after 12 secs
- Flow drips or not at all
- Crema is dark and spotty
- Espresso is very dark brown
- Tastes bitter and burnt
SOLUTIONS
EXPERIMENT WITH GRIND:
- Grind needs to be coarser for faster extraction.
- Ensure you are controlling the dose.
Adjust & re-test
Tamp using 30-40 lbs (15–20kg) of pressure. The top edge of cap on the tamper
should be level with the top of the filter basket AFTER tamping.

Care & Cleaning
CLEAN & DESCALE CYCLE
The Bambino Espresso machine requires regular cleaning and descaling and the
machine will flag when it is expected for a clean. The 2 Cup button will
continuously flash; the ndicating machine will need cleaning and descaling.
NOTE
Pressing any of the buttons will cancel the alert and return the machine to
ready mode.
WARNING
It is NOT recommended to ignore the clean cycle warning because, after regular
use, hard water can cause mineral build-up in and on many of the inner
functioning components, reducing the brewing flow, brewing temperature, power
of the machine, and the taste of the espresso.
WARNING
Do not immerse the power cord, power plug or appliance in water or any other
liquid. The water tank should never be removed or completely emptied during
descaling.
TO PERFORM A CLEAN & DESCALE CYCLE
-
Empty the drip tray and re-insert it firmly into position on the machine.
