BREW TIPS
Keep these in mind when grinding,
tamping, and brewing.
CHOOSING BEANS
For best results, use freshly roasted coee beans.
When purchasing coee beans, it’s best to buy a bag with
a “Roasted On” date rather than a “Best Before” date to
ensure quality and freshness.
We recommend you use any coee beans within 20 days
of the “Roasted On” date.
RINSE CYCLE
If making a cold drink immediately after a hot drink, you’ll
receive a RINSE notification above the center dial. Be sure
that the portafilter is not installed in the group head before
proceeding. Put a cup (that can hold at least 250ml) below
the group head. Press START BREW. The machine will beep
to indicate that the brew has started. The progress bar will
illuminate indicating the status of the brew. When finished, the
machine will beep again signifying the brew is complete. After
the machine beeps a second time, remove the cup and dispose
of the water. You may now proceed with making a cold drink.
STRENGTH
If you find your brew is tasting too weak or too strong for your
liking, you can use the strength adjustment button.
Adjusting Brew Strength:
To adjust brew strength, press the STRENGTH button. The
strength adjustment will work dierently depending on if you
are brewing espresso or coee.
Espresso Strength Adjustments:
•
Taller, less concentrated: 4:1 water to grounds ratio
• •
Default: 2.5:1 water to grounds ratio
• • •
Shorter, more concentrated: 2:1 water to grounds ratio
Coee Strength Adjustments:
•
Mild: Less beans will be ground.
• •
Default
• • •
Bold: More beans will be ground.
TAMPING QUAD SHOTS
When brewing a quad shot, tamp your grounds normally with
the funnel on the portafilter. After that, remove the funnel and
tamp down the grounds one more time.
TAMPING LARGE COFFEE BREWS
If you’re making a L+ (475ml) or XL (530 ml) coee or cold
brew, tamp your grounds to ensure no grounds spill over the
edge of the portafilter. You do not need to tamp for
smaller coee drinks.
DIALING IN YOUR GRIND SETTING
When using new beans for the first time or adding more
beans, it may take 2–3 espresso brews to reach the optimal
grind setting. Over time, you may notice your recommended
grind setting change to account for aging beans. This is
normal. Ensure that your current grind size always matches
the recommended for proper espresso extraction.

CHOOSING
THE RIGHT BEANS
Every delicious cup starts with a perfectly roasted bean.
Follow this guide to pick the right one for your drink.
High acidity, floral, fruity and delicate.
Perfect for filtered coee.
Low acidity, bitter and roasty.
Perfect for espresso and espresso-based drinks.
LIGHT ROAST DARK ROAST
TIP
For best results, use freshly roasted coee beans.
When purchasing coee beans, it’s best to buy a bag
with a ‘Roasted On’ date rather than a ‘Best Before’
date to ensure quality and freshness.
We recommend you use any coee beans within
20 days of the ‘Roasted On’ date.

GRIND SIZE RECOMMENDATIONS & ADAPTIVE BREWING
Our espresso machine eliminates the endless guesswork of making espresso
by monitoring your brew and continuously adjusting settings like grind size,
pressure and more. That means you can create the perfect cup
with no guesswork required.

Two conical-shaped burrs precisely crush beans, ensuring consistent
particle size for a flavourful and balanced cup. Equipped with 25 grind sizes,
our grinder makes it easier than ever to dial in.
BUILT-IN SCALE
Dierent drinks require dierent amounts of grounds. While other
machines simply grind for a set amount of time, our built-in scale
weighs out the perfect dose for your chosen drink.
HANDS-FREE FROTHING
Our integrated whisk and high-velocity steam wand eortlessly
creates hot or cold microfoam from any dairy or plant-based milk.
It even monitors temperature to prevent burning.
BASKET RECOGNITION
The machine automatically detects which basket you’re using and
adjusts settings accordingly without you lifting a finger.
