HOW TO MAKE AN ESPRESSO
Espresso is a unique method of coffee brewing in which hot water is forced through finely
ground coffee beans for a richer and more full-bodied brew than regular drip. Because of
its strength, espresso is usually served in small (1 ½ to 2 oz) portions in demitasse cups.
1.
Make sure the unit is plugged in.
2.
Turn the unit on by pressing the power button located on the side of the unit.
3.
Fill the water reservoir as directed on p. 9.
4.
Fill the portafilter with finely ground coffee beans and attach it to the brew head as
directed on p. 10 and p. 11.
5.
Place a heatproof cup or demitasse on the metal coaster over the drip tray.
6.
Choose to brew a single or double espresso by pressing the appropriate button. The
button will blink to signify the unit is preheating. The button will turn solid during
the brew cycle. When brewing is complete, the unit will beep three times, and your
espresso will be ready to enjoy.
7.
When the brew cycle ends, the unit will go into standby mode and will be preheating
in the background. If no button is pressed within 20 minutes, it will go in to sleep
mode.
8.
To discard spent grinds, remove the portafilter and let it cool. Hold the portafilter
basket in place by flipping up the portafilter basket 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 grinds.
HOW TO PLACE THE PORTAFILTER ON THE BREW HEAD
1.
Position the portafilter underneath the brew head with its handle facing to the left.
2.
Insert the portafilter up into the brew head, lining up handle with the open lock icon on
the unit.
3.
Slowly turn the handle to the right until resistance is felt and the handle is aligned
with the locked icon on the unit; the handle will be at an approximate 90° angle to the
machine.
CAUTION:
To avoid possible burns to body parts and/or other injury from hot steam and
water or damages to the unit, never remove the water reservoir or the portafilter while
your espresso/cappuccino maker is brewing coffee or frothing. If you intend to make a
second cup of coffee, be sure the unit is in standby mode—all buttons will be lit and solid—
before removing or inserting portafilter. If you need to add more water or milk to the
reservoirs, switch off the unit by pressing the button on the side of the unit.
