HOW TO MAKE AN ESPRESSO
Espresso is a unique method of coffee brewing in which hot water is forced through finely
ground coffee beans for a richer and more full-bodied brew than regular drip. Because of
its strength, espresso is usually served in small [45 to 59 ml (1 ½ to 2 fl oz)] portions in
demitasse cups.
1.
Make sure the unit is plugged in.
2. Turn the unit on using the power switch located on its side.
3. Fill the water reservoir as directed on p. 13.
4. Fill the portafilter with finely ground coffee beans and attach it to the brew head as
directed on pp. 14–15.
5. Place a heatproof cup or demitasse on the metal coaster over the drip tray.
6. Choose to brew a single or double espresso by pressing the appropriate button. The
button will blink to signify the unit is preheating. The button will turn solid during the brew
cycle. When brewing is complete, the unit will beep three times, and your espresso will be
ready to enjoy.
7.
When the brew cycle ends, the unit will go into standby mode and will be preheating in
the background. If no button is pressed within 20 minutes, it will switch to sleep mode.
8. To discard spent grounds, remove the portafilter and let it cool. Hold the portafilter basket
in place by flipping up the portafilter basket retention clip to partially cover the lip of the
basket and portafilter. Press on the clip with your thumb to hold the basket in place as you
empty the grounds.
