HOW TO MAKE A STANDARD ESPRESSO
Espresso is a unique method of coee brewing in which hot water is forced through finely
ground coee beans for a richer and more full-bodied brew than regular drip. Because of its
strength, espresso is usually served in small portions (about 1.5 to 2.5 fl oz) in demitasse cups.
1.
Fill the water reservoir as directed on p. 13.
2.
Make sure the steam control knob is set to OFF, then plug the unit in.
3.
Press the POWER button. The button will illuminate and the SINGLE-SHOT, DOUBLE-
SHOT, and MANUAL coee buttons will slowly pulse as the unit begins heating. Once
heating is complete, these three buttons will solidly illuminate, indicating the unit is ready
to brew.
4.
Fill the portafilter with finely ground coee and attach it to the brew head as directed on
pp. 14–15.
5.
Place a heatproof cup or demitasse on the drip tray. If using a larger cup, remove the drip
tray coaster for easier entry.
6.
Choose to brew a single or double espresso by pressing the appropriate button
corresponding to your chosen portafilter basket. The chosen button will remain lit during
brewing. Brewing will last approximately 15 seconds for a single and 25 seconds for a
double.
7.
When brewing is complete, the unit will automatically return to standby mode (all buttons
except steam lit). Remove the cup from the drip tray and serve. NOTE: If no button is
pressed within 25 minutes, the unit will automatically power o.
8.
To discard spent grounds, remove the portafilter by turning the handle to the left. Let the
portafilter cool. Hold the portafilter basket in place by flipping up the retention clip to
partially cover the lip of the basket and portafilter. Press on the clip with your thumb to
hold the basket in place as you empty the grounds.
