OPERATION
A. WHEN USING FOR THE FIRST TIME:
1. Remove the coffee maker from the packaging and check all accessories are provided
(refer product overview).
2. Clean all the detachable components in accordance with the following section of
“CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE”.
3. In order to flush the internal components, operate the appliance according to section “B”
and “C” but with no ground espresso coffee inserted. Repeat 2-3 times, disposing of the
heated water after each use.
B. MAKING ESPRESSO COFFEE:
1. Ensure the surface on which the coffee maker is placed is level, clean and free of water
and other substances and position the coffee maker in a convenient location near a mains
electrical supply socket.
2. Remove the water tank lid by turning it anti-clockwise. Carefully pour the appropriate
amount of water into the tank using the carafe provided. WARNING: Do not exceed the
maximum capacity (240ml). Ensure water used is clean and not pre-heated.
CAUTION: 1). the carafe provided has cup level markings, the maximum tank capacity
is equal to the ‘4 cups’ mark (240ml). The minimum tank capacity is equal to the 2 cups
mark (120ml).
2). Before pouring the water into the water tank, be sure the power cord is
unplugged from the power outlet and the control knob is in the
position.
NOTE: A standard coffee shot is considered as 30ml, double shot 60ml. The 240ml
maximum capacity equates to 4 cups whereby each cup is a double shot.
3. Replace the water tank lid and turn clockwise until it is secured in position.
4. Fit the detachable filter basket into the Portafilter (filter holder), add ground espresso
coffee into the filter using the measuring spoon. A spoon of coffee can make
approximately 1 cup of coffee. Fill the filter with coffee to the desired level marking
depending on cups required (ensuring this aligns with water quantity added).
5. Tamping the ground coffee is now required, distribute the ground coffee evenly in the filter
and press down firmly with the tamping end of the measuring spoon and ensure that it is
level. Clean any excess ground coffee from the rim of the Portafilter (filter holder).
NOTE: The amount of force that is applied to the ground coffee during Tamping, will
directly affect how compacted the coffee is, this in turn affects how the steam passes
through the coffee and the level of extraction. If the ground coffee is lightly compressed,
this will result in reduced extraction and the coffee will be weaker than when compared to
that which has been well compacted, which will result in a stronger flavour. Some trial
and error may be required to obtain your ideal flavour.
