A Lifetime Of Experimentation - SOLIS BARISTA PRO 114 Mode D'emploi

A LIFETIME OF EXPERIMENTATION

The BARISTA PRO Espresso Machine is supplied
with single cup and double cup «single wall»
filter baskets. These filter baskets provide no
additional slowing to the water flow rate during
brewing hence experimentation with the grind
size and volume, along with the tamp force, is
required to achieve the desired results. Single
wall filters are suited to freshly ground coffee
only and once the use of these filters has been
mastered, they expose the user to a «lifetime of
experimentation» with different grind settings,
tamping forces and coffee styles.
A great coffee is a balance of main flavour ele-
ments: Acidity, aroma, bitterness, body, nuttiness,
and sharpness. By using the Single Wall Filters
you are free to explore the world of espresso by
to adjusting grind, grind amount and tamp to
extract a rich variety of flavours.

STEP 1 – FILLING THE WATER TANK
• Fill the water tank with cold, tap water to the
maximum mark on the side of the tank and
slide the water tank carefully back into position
at the back of the machine.
• Plug the power cord into a 230/240 V power
outlet.
• Press the POWER button to «ON», the POWER
button surround will flash while the machine
is heating. When the correct temperature has
been reached, all the button surrounds on the
control panel will illuminate.

STEP 2 – PRE-WARMING THE CUPS
This will help maintain the coffee's optimal
temperature when brewed into the cups.
• The Cup Warming Plate will start to warm as
the machine heats.
• Run hot water from the group head without
the portafilter inserted by holding down the
one cup button and place the cups on the
warming tray.
NOTE:
In order to brew the coffee at the ideal
temperature we recommend running a
complete cycle without ground coffee. This
will ensure that all the main internal com-
ponents are optimally preheated.
NOTE:
Check the water level before use and replace
the water daily. The water tank should be
refilled with fresh, cold tap water before each
use. Do not use mineral or distilled water or
any other liquid.
