OPERATING THE ESPRESSO MACHINE Frothing and steaming milk requires a bit of practice, but you’ll be surprised how quickly your skills will develop.
PAGE 14
OPERATING THE ESPRESSO MACHINE OP 5 With the Steam dial closed, adjust the frothing arm so it’s in a comfortable working position, and submerge the tip of the frothing nozzle just below the surface of the milk in the frothing pitcher. 6 Slowly open the Steam dial by turning it counter-clockwise. The further the Steam dial is rotated, the greater volume of steam will be released. Tilt the pitcher to one side to create a whirling motion in the milk, keeping the tip of the frothing nozzle about 6.
PAGE 15
OPERATING THE ESPRESSO MACHINE Hot water can also be dispensed from the frothing arm. This provides a convenient way to make Americanos, tea, or hot chocolate. Filling a demitasse with hot water is also a great way to warm it before brewing espresso. NOTE: Always dispense hot water into an empty container – dispensing into a cup or pitcher containing other ingredients may cause splattering. 1 Press and hold the On/Off power button until the ON indicator lights up.

TIPS FOR GREAT RESULTS TI What is espresso? Espresso began as an attempt in the 1800s to quickly brew coffee on demand, by the cup. The goal was to serve the freshest, most flavorful coffee possible and avoid the burned, stale taste of coffee kept warm on a stovetop. To speed the brewing process, coffee pioneers struck upon the idea of forcing water through the grounds under pressure.
PAGE 17
Great Tasting Water An often overlooked element of great espresso is the brew water. If you don’t enjoy the flavor of your tap water, don’t use it to brew espresso – use bottled, purified water instead. Since it doesn’t take long for fresh water to acquire a “flat” quality and taste, it’s also a good idea to change the water in the reservoir often and refill the boilers after a long period of non-use. Do not use mineral water or distilled water – they can damage the Espresso Machine.

TIPS FOR GREAT RESULTS and sweep any excess coffee from the filter with their fingers, leaving exactly what they need. After you’ve had some experience dosing, leveling, and tamping your coffee, you’ll be able to consistently dose your coffee by sight, just like the pros. If you’re dosing coffee without the aid of a measuring scoop, it is important not to overfill the filter basket. Coffee needs room to expand when brewing.
PAGE 19
English TIPS FOR GREAT RESULTS 3 After removing the tamper, some grinds may stick to the side of the filter basket. Tap the portafilter gently on the table to jostle loose grinds onto the tamped coffee disc. Do not tap too hard, or the tamped coffee will dislodge or fracture. 4 Apply a second, finishing tamp (also called a polishing tamp). Press straight down on the coffee with about 2.4 bars of pressure, then relax the force slightly (to about 1.

TIPS FOR GREAT RESULTS TI Espresso extraction technique Shot Volume The brew group and boilers are heated. The fresh coffee has been ground, dosed into the portafilter, expertly leveled, and precisely tamped. Now comes the moment of truth: brewing! For the best espresso, never extract more than a single shot (30 ml) using the small filter basket or a double shot (59 ml) using the large one. Brewing more will overextract the coffee and result in thin, bitter espresso.
PAGE 21
TIPS FOR GREAT RESULTS When brewing multiple shots: • Use a towel to clean and dry the filter basket before filling with coffee. This will help to achieve even coffee extraction. To maintain the proper brewing temperature, it is important to keep the brew group warm, so: • Do not rinse the portafilter with tap water – doing so will cool the filter. It’s best to wipe leftover grounds from the filter with a towel.

TIPS FOR GREAT RESULTS TI Glossary of espresso drinks Americano 177 to 237 ml of hot water added to a single shot of espresso. This makes a superb cup of coffee. Café Latte 237 to 296 ml of steamed milk added to a single shot of espresso. Lattes are often flavored with 30 to 59 ml of syrup. Café Mocha A Café Latte with 59 to 100 ml of chocolate syrup added, and usually topped with whipped cream and chocolate flakes. It can also be prepared without syrup using steamed chocolate milk.

TIPS FOR GREAT RESULTS Brew group The part of the Espresso Machine that holds all the working parts that allow you to brew your drink. There are two brew groups on your Espresso Machine. The first holds the On/Off Power button, the On indicator light, the Espresso button, the brew head, and the shower-screen. The portafilter attaches to this brew group. The second brew group holds the Hot Water button, the steam dial, and the frothing arm/nozzle.

PAGE 26
CARE AND CLEANING CA Cleaning the shower screen Once every 75 to 100 shots of espresso, the shower screen should be removed from the brew head to clean thoroughly. 1 Using an allen wrench, remove the screw at the center of the shower screen by turning it counter-clockwise. Once the screw is free, the shower screen should drop from the brew head. 2 Wash the shower screen in warm, soapy water, and rinse with clean water. Do not wash the shower screen in a dishwasher.
PAGE 27
CARE AND CLEANING For the best tasting espresso, prime the Espresso Machine with fresh water after a long period of non-use. Priming will also ensure that the boilers are filled and the Espresso Machine is ready to operate. 1 Remove the reservoir, empty any stale water, replace, and fill the reservoir with fresh water to the max fill line. 2 English Priming after long periods of non-use Fill the boilers with the fresh water. For instructions, see “Rinsing and filling the boilers” section.
