ESPRESSO MAKING: STEP BY STEP
STEP 9 – INSERTING THE PORTAFILTER
Place the portafilter underneath the group head
so that the handle is aligned with the INSERT
graphic.
Insert the portafilter up into the group head and
rotate the handle to the right until resistance is felt,
this will be at an approximate 90° angle to the
machine.
STEP 10 – EXTRACTING THE ESPRESSO
• Ensure all the button surrounds on the control
panel are illuminated, indicating the machine
has reached the correct temperature for brew-
ing, and is ready for use.
• Ensure the drip tray and portafilter are in place.
• Place one or two pre-warmed cups beneath
the portafilter outlet.
NOTE TO PRE-BREWING FUNCTION:
After selecting one or two coffees with
the corresponding button, the machine
will briefly pump water with low pressure.
After that, it will continue pumping water
through the ground coffee in the portafil-
ter with higher pressure.
The ground coffee is moistened by a small
amount of water before full extraction
then expands resulting in greater pressure
build-up to extract all the oils and full flavour
from the ground coffee.
PRE-PROGRAMMED DOSE – ONE CUP
Press the one cup
button once. A preset
dose of approximately 30 ml will be delivered.
A pumping noise will be heard in this operation.
The machine will automatically stop once the
preset pour has been delivered.
NOTE:
The amount of espresso extracted in the
cup will vary depending on your grind and
grind amounts.
NOTE:
When using a 1 cup filter, for optimal flavour,
you should only extract approximately 30 ml.
When using a 2 cup filter, for optimal flavour,
you should only extract approximately 60 ml.
