Filter Baskets: Pressurized or Non-Pressurized?
1. Your Bella Pro Espresso Maker comes with 2 sets of lter baskets. Pressurized lter holders
are double wall construction and have only 1 hole on the bottom. Non-pressurized lter
baskets are thinner, single wall construction with many holes on the bottom. If you are new
to the third wave coffee culture, or if you are not using a dosed coffee grinder, it is best to
use the pressurized baskets.
2. It is best to use pressurized lter baskets when:
• Extracting espresso from pre-measured pods. Insert a single coffee pod into the empty
1cup pressurized lter basket. To avoid water leakage, make sure that no part of the
coffeepod lter hangs over the lip of the lter basket.
• Extracting espresso from pre-ground coffee.
3. Tamping is not critical, but should be consistent when using pressurized lter baskets.
4. Pressurized baskets produce larger bubbles in the crema.
5. Use the non-pressurized lter baskets when:
• Grinding fresh coffee beans.
• Using a special dose coffee grinder.
6. The resulting brew is often less bitter.
7. Tamping is important. Use the
tamper
to apply consistent pressure. A smooth and level
coffee surface is achieved by tamping evenly and rmly with a nal polish or swirl.
90166_Bella Pro_19 Bar Espresso Maker_IM_V2.indd 1490166_Bella Pro_19 Bar Espresso Maker_IM_V2.indd 14 2022-06-03 2:07 PM2022-06-03 2:07 PM

Pull the Perfect Espresso Shot
The secret to a perfect espresso shot is all about achieving the perfect balance of acidity,
sweetness, and bitterness. Many factors play a major role: temperature of the water; portalter,
and serving cups is crucial, lter baskets and steaming wand should be clean; coffee beans must
be fresh and perfectly roasted. The neness or coarseness of the grind, dose of ground coffee, and
tamping pressure should be consistent when experimenting to achieve your perfect pull.
1. Place empty cappuccino shot cups onto the warming plate before the pull.
2. Run a blank shot to preheat the cup and portalter.
3. Plug the Espresso Maker into a 120V AC electrical outlet. All indicator lights should be OFF.
4. Fill the water tank with up to 2.1 liters of cold, preferably ltered water, using the markings
onthe tank for reference. Close the lid.
IMPORTANT! Be sure to add enough water for shots plus the rst blank shot.
NOTE: The water tank should always be lled past the MIN (5 oz.) mark.
Never ll the water tank past the MAX (2.1 liter) mark.
5. Choose the appropriate lter basket. (Please see the
detailed description in the previous section: “Filter Baskets:
Pressurized or Non-Pressurized?”) Insert either the 1 or 2
cup, pressurized or non-pressurized lter basket into the
portalter.
(See Figure 7.)
6. Align the portalter handle with the INSERT symbol on the
brew head. (See Figure 8.)
7. Turn handle counter-clockwise (to the right) until the
portalter handle is facing front and lined up with the LOCK.
Make sure the portalter is sealed and locked securely into
the brew head. (See Figure 9.)
8. Center a wide spouted container or cup onto drip plate
under the 2-spout portalter.
9. Press the POWER button to turn the Espresso Maker ON. The
single shot (
) and double shot ( ) buttons will begin to
ash. When the system is up to temperature, all 4 buttons on
the control panel will illuminate.

10. Press either the single ( ) or double shot ( ) button. The motor will sound. Both spouts will
stream hot water (a blank shot) to warm the espresso cup and portalter and then turn OFF.
11. Remove the portalter from the brew head. Turn the handle
clockwise (to the left) to UNLOCK. The portalter will drop
down from the brew head. (See Figures 10 and 11.)
12. Use the Bella Pro measuring scoop (and scale if desired) to
dose ground espresso coffee and add to the lter basket.
Use the 1 cup lter basket for a single espresso; the 2 cup
lter for a double espresso or 2single espressos at the same
time. (See Figure 12.)
13. Use the tamper to gently press the coffee and pack it. Make
sure the tamper is perfectly dry as any wet spots will result
in channeling. Wipe any loose coffee grounds from the rim
of the portalter to assure a proper t into the brew head.
NOTE: When tamping for a double espresso, only tamp after
the lter basket has been lled. Tamping between measures
may create a layer in the coffee that may hinder extraction.
14. Align the portalter handle with the INSERT symbol on the
brew head and turn counter-clockwise until it is sealed and
securely locked. (See Figures 8 and 9.)
15. Press either the single (
) or double shot ( ) button.
The motor will sound. Both spouts willstream thick, rich espresso. The Bella Pro Espresso
Machine is pre-set to deliver 2 oz. (single) to4oz. (double) shots of espresso, before
automatically turning OFF.
16. Remove the lter basket and discard used coffee puck.
CAUTION: To avoid scalding or burns, do not attempt to remove the portalter handle
during the brewing process, or when any button on the control panel is ashing.
IMPORTANT! Keeping your Espresso Maker clean and thoroughly rinsed is critical in pulling
the perfect shot. Always run water through the brew head and purge the steam wand
aftereach use.

Dial In Single or Double Shot Volume
1. The Bella Pro Espresso Maker consistently dials in the perfect brew water temperature and
measures the perfect volume for every shot.
2. To adjust volumes for future shots, press and hold the single or double shot programmable
button for 3 seconds to adjust and to dial in future single or double shot volume. Example:
to change the volume on the single shot – press and hold the single shot button for 3
seconds, water will begin to ow. Once you have the desired amount, release the single
shot button to stop water ow. The new volume is now set, and can be re programmed at
any time.
Texture Milk for Espresso Drinks
1. Transition to Steam.
IMPORTANT: Make sure the frothing pitcher is cold before texturing. Refrigerate or run cold
water intothe pitcher before use.
CAUTION: After extracting espresso, the steam wand is hot. Always use the silicone covers
and tabs installed on both the steam wand and the water dispenser to rotate and swing
either wand into the perfect position.
2. Fill the stainless steel frothing pitcher no more than one-third (1/3) full with fresh, cold milk
(skim milk froths best) and place it next to the Espresso Maker.
IMPORTANT: When texturing milk, the volume will double. Do not over-ll the frothing
pitcher.
3. Press the STEAM PREHEAT button. When pressed, the
STEAM PREHEAT button will ash. As temperature is
achieved and steam is built, the button will illuminate solid.
(See Figures 13.)
4. Turn the function control dial to STEAM. Make sure the
steam wand is over the drip tray. Once steam starts to come
out from the wand, and not water you can change the dial
back to STAND BY. (See Figures 14.)
5. Quickly place the tip of the steam wand at the surface of the
milk, and turn the functional control dial back to steam. Place
the frothing pitcher on an angle, and make sure the wand
is around one third from either edge of the frothing pitcher.
Figure 14

18
The steam wand should barely break the milk’s surface to create ne microbubbles. Try and
have the steam move the milk around the inside of the frothing pitcher in a circular motion.
Texture the milk until the desired volume is reached. When the milk temperature reaches
between 140-150°F it is ready, or 160°F for extra hot.
6. Turn the function control dial to STAND BY. Drop the pitcher down to remove the steam wand.
7. Pour. After texturing, swirl the milk around for several seconds to incorporate the milk at
the bottom, with the microfoam on top. Tap the frothing pitcher on the counter until the milk
appears shiny and few bubbles remain. Pour textured milk as soon as possible. Swirl the
expresso slightly to break the surface tension of the crema. Slowly introduce the microfoam,
integrating it with the espresso.
8. Wipe the steam wand with a wet kitchen towel and use the silicone tab to swivel the wand
back over the drip tray.
NOTE: To avoid milk build up on and inside and the outside of the steam wand, ensure to
purge the steam wand after every use. Make sure the steam wand is over the drip tray and
turn the function control dial to STEAM – leave on for a few seconds and then turn back to
STAND BY. Clean the outside of the wand with hot water and a soft cloth.
