ESPRESSO MAKING: STEP BY STEP

A great coffee is a balance of main flavour ele-
ments: Acidity, aroma, bitterness, body, nuttiness,
and sharpness. The single wall filters for this
espresso machine give you the opportunity to
experiment with adjusting grind, grind amount
and tamp to extract a rich variety of flavours.

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.
• Use the hot water function to fill the cups with
hot water, wait for a while, empty out the
water and dry the cups.
• 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.
