OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The SINGLE-SHOT, DOUBLE-SHOT, and MANUAL buttons will blink rapidly and will
not turn solid for use until the unit has cooled, which can take several minutes. Do NOT
make coffee before the unit has cooled and returned to standby mode, as this can
damage the unit.
HOW TO MAKE A STANDARD 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 portions (about 1.5 to 2.5 fl
oz) in demitasse cups.
1.
Fill the water reservoir as directed on p. 14.
2. Make sure the steam control knob is set to OFF, then plug the unit in.
3. Press the POWER button. The button will illuminate and the SINGLE-SHOT,
DOUBLE-SHOT, and MANUAL coffee buttons will slowly pulse as the unit begins
heating. Once heating is complete, these three buttons will solidly illuminate,
indicating the unit is ready to brew.
4. Fill the portafilter with finely ground coffee and attach it to the brew head as
directed on pp. 15–16.
5. Place a heatproof cup or demitasse on the drip tray. If using a larger cup, remove the
drip tray coaster for easier entry.
6. Choose to brew a single or double espresso by pressing the appropriate button
corresponding to your chosen portafilter basket. The chosen button will remain
lit during brewing. Brewing will last approximately 15 seconds for a single and 25
seconds for a double.
