AUTO PURGE FUNCTION
For brewing more coffee immediately after
using the steam function, the 800ESXL
features an auto-purge function. This
ensures that ground coffee will not be
burnt by the initial water flow from the
thermoblock that could be too hot. Instead
this water is automatically released
internally into the Drip Tray ensuring that
the internal thermostat is at optimal
temperature for extracting coffee. Your
coffee will always be extracted at this
optimal temperature ensuring only the best
flavored coffee is achieved.

THE GRIND
If using a pre-ground coffee, ensure an
espresso grind suitable for
espresso/cappuccino machines is
purchased.
If grinding coffee beans, the grind should
be fine but not too fine or powdery. The
grind will affect the rate at which the
water flows through the coffee in the Filter
and therefore the taste of the coffee.
If the grind is too fine (looks like powder
and feels like flour when rubbed between
fingers), the water will not flow through
the coffee even when under pressure. The
resulting coffee will be over extracted, too
dark and bitter, with a mottled and uneven
crema on top.
If the grind is too coarse the water will
