Three Way Shot Control System

Optimum temperature

This 3 way system delivers the accurate & stable water temperature that is needed for consistently great tasting coffee.

• Thermoblock Technology: The Thermoblock ensures fast heat up, and precise water temperature for the best espresso extraction & milk steaming. Only the required amount of water is heated for speed and efficiency. The Thermoblock heats water so that espresso extracts at 198°F for the optimum extraction of oils from the tamped coffee grinds. Temperatures above or below will result in burnt/bitter or weak tasting espresso.
• Advanced PID Controller: The PID monitors and controls the Thermoblock to ensure water is always delivered to tamped coffee grinds at the precise temperature needed.
• Gentle Pre-infusion: Small amounts of water are gently introduced onto the tamped coffee grinds prior to the steady flow of water, for a richer flavored espresso. (For different Pre-infusion profiles, see page 23)

Café 58mm Group Head & Portafilter

Extract the maximum amount of flavor

The Group Head and the portafilter are commercial sized, 58mm, just like local café.

• The wider size ensures the coffee grinds are more evenly spread in the Filter Baskets. The coffee grinds are easier to fill, tamp and remove after use.
• The 58mm portafilter allows a more even extraction of the tamped coffee grinds, resulting in a true café tasting coffee.

Integrated Grinder

Easy on-demand grinding experience

• On-Demand Grinding: The on-demand grinding technology delivers coffee grinds directly into the Portafilter with one touch. Simply push down on the Portafilter to activate the Grinder.
• Conical Burr Grinder: The integrated Grinder offers all-in-one grinding experience. The hardened Stainless Steel Conical Burr achieves consistent grind particle sizes, which minimizes heat transfer & reduces friction due to its gentle & slow rotation.
• Bean Hopper: The 250g Hopper features anti-spill gates which prevents coffee beans from escaping onto the countertop when removing. The on-board Grinder offers all-in-one grinding experience with Grinder integrated in the Espresso Machine.

Auto Shot & Customizable Volumetric Control

Right quantity of espresso in your cup

• Auto Shot is the easiest way to create a great espresso. Press the ONE or TWO SHOT BUTTONS to pour the right amount.
• All Extraction Buttons can be customized to deliver the shot volumes preferred. For more information, see pages 20-21.

Customizable Extraction Temperature

• The Espresso Machine allows water temperature to be changed from the recommended 198°F (in 2°F increments) to cater for personal preferences. (For more information, see page 22)

Tips for Grinding & Tamping

1. Coffee Beans: For optimum flavor & extraction:

• Buy freshly roasted coffee beans in small 8 oz batches to reduce the storage time.
• Use within two weeks of opening.
• Store coffee beans in a dry, airtight container. Place in a cool dark cupboard.

Important: Old coffee beans, no matter the Grind Setting, will have a fast extraction and will produce an under extracted tasting espresso.

2. Grind Setting

• You may need to vary the Grind Setting when using different coffee beans and depending on bean freshness. The range of 30 Grind Settings allows for precision adjustment, controlling the grind size & ultimately the characteristics of the resulting extraction.
• It may take several incremental adjustments before you reach your optimum Grind Setting. Dial in Grind Setting based on pour time & taste see Espresso Extraction Guide

Barista Tip: After adjusting the Grind Setting it is important to purge (for 1-2 sec) a small amount of coffee grinds from the Grinder. This removes the coffee grinds of the previous Grind Setting; ensuring the next espresso extraction is made entirely of the coffee grinds from the new Grind Setting.

• Smaller number settings deliver finer coffee grinds & a slower extraction.
• Larger number settings deliver coarser coffee grinds & a faster extraction.

3. Filter Baskets

• Single Wall Filter Baskets: These work with freshly ground coffee grinds and are supplied with the Espresso Machine.

• Note: Pre-ground coffee grinds are too coarse to use with Single Wall Filter Baskets.
• Dual Wall Filter Baskets: These work best with pre-ground coffee grinds, but can also be used for freshly ground coffee grinds.

4. Grind Dosage & Tamp Force

• For best results, the amount of coffee grinds dosed should remain consistent. Evenly tamp (press) coffee grinds to the level indicated, with firm force 20-30 lbs.
• Note: It is normal for the correct dose of coffee grinds to appear overfilled in the Filter Basket before tamping

Tips for Perfect Espresso Extraction

The way the espresso pours will tell you everything

1. Extraction Time: Extraction time is a good indicator of the quality of the pour. The optimum time per shot varies between types & freshness of coffee beans. However, in general, the pour time should be between 20-30 seconds for both One & Two Cup shots.

2. Type of Extraction

• Optimum Extraction: A quality pour has a steady flow with a consistency similar to that of warm honey. The resulting crema is dark golden. The sweetest flavors & oils have been extracted creating a rich tasting espresso.
• Under Extraction: The pour is fast & light in color, the resulting crema is thin with a creamy light brown color which quickly dissipates. This occurs when too little of the essential oils, flavors & colors from the coffee grinds have been extracted. This creates a sour tasting espresso.
• Over Extraction: There may be no pour, or it may be slow & drip throughout the entire pour. The resulting crema is very dark. This occurs when too much of the essential oils, flavors & colors from the coffee grinds have been extracted. This creates a bitter tasting espresso.

3. Look for Color Change

• The optimum shot contains 3 elements:
  • Heart: At the base - starts out dark brown.
  • Body: Blends with the heart - becomes a rich caramel with reddish reflections.
  • Crema: The layer on top of the body - dark golden.
