NOTE: If you want to brew a single cup of espresso coffee, use the single-cup
filter. Press the single cup button to make coffee. All other steps are the same as
preparing a double espresso coffee.
CAUTION
Risk of scalding! To avoid scalding, do not touch the hot surfaces of
the device with your hands, especially the brew outlet and the
steam nozzle, when using the device.
Note: When the device pumps water for the first time, it may cause loud
noises. This is normal as air in the espresso machine is escaping. After about
20 seconds, the noise disappears.
Tips for making coffee
The quality of the coffee is largely determined by the grinding of the coffee beans
and the grinding quality. The ideal grinding time for a cup of coffee should be
around 25-30 seconds. If the coffee powder is too coarse, the coffee extraction
will be insufficient, resulting in a bland taste, lighter colour, thin crema and pale
appearance. If the coffee powder is too fine, the coffee will be extracted too much,
resulting in a darker colour and lack of crema. For a good cup of coffee you should
use freshly ground coffee beans (preferably with a coffee grinder) and the right
amount of coffee beans. The freshness of the coffee beans is important in any
preparation of ground coffee, as the oils in the coffee beans can degrade over
time.
1.
When using a coffee grinder, first set the desired degree of grinding and then
add fresh coffee beans to the grinding chamber for grinding.
Note: Even a slight change in the fineness of the coffee powder can have
a significant impact on the extraction pressure and coffee volume. Set the
grind size according to the coffee grinder instructions and select a grind size
extraction range of 20-40 ml for a single cup and 45-75 ml for a double cup.
