Therefore, some components, such as the group head, the portafilter and the steam wand become very hot during operation and hot water or steam escape. • Do not touch during operation and shortly thereafter hot parts (eg. group head, porta filter, swivel steam wand with frothing attachment). Even after switching off the appliance and the corresponding parts are very hot for some time.
Features of Your Design Espresso Machine Advanced Pro G Integrated Conical Burr Grinder The integrated conical burr grinder allows each espresso produced from the appliance to be created using freshly ground beans - the key to achieving your ideal espresso. Preset or Adjustable Grind Size The GRIND SIZE dial accurately adjusts the fineness or coarseness of the espresso grind for optimal espresso extraction.
Integrated / Removable Tamper Tamping is the application of even and consistent pressure to the espresso grinds. The tamper is conveniently located ›on board‹ the machine and can be used both in the ›on board‹ position or whilst removed depending on your preference.
Note: While the Pressure Gauge is a great guide to the quality of the extraction, the best indicator is the look and taste of the espresso. Commercial Style Steam Wand The swivel-action steam wand with stainless steel frothing attachment easily adjusts to the perfect position for texturing milk. The wand has a commercial style 360° ball joint. Note for frothing milk: About half of the steam wand must be immersed in the milk.
Dual Wall Filters Dual Wall Filters for Beginners Eliminates the guesswork for fast and easy to make espresso. The appliance is supplied with two Dual Wall Filters - 1 x single shot and 1 x double shot. These filters are designed to intentionally slow the water flow rate during brewing, resulting in an espresso that has been extracted at the correct pressure, leading to a rich, golden crema.
Operation Before First Use The appliance has the drip tray, water tank and storage tray in place when you unpack it from the box. The drip tray is located in the base of the machine towards the front. The water tank is located in the back of the machine. The charcoal water filter is located inside the water tank. It needs to be removed before washing the water tank. The storage tray is located at the base of the machine behind the drip tray.
Using your design espresso machine advanced pro G Dual Wall Filters for Beginners Eliminates the guesswork for fast and easy to make espresso. The appliance is supplied with two Dual Wall Filters - 1 x single shot and 1 x double shot. These filters are designed to intentionally slow the water flow rate during brewing, resulting in an espresso that has been extracted at the correct pressure, leading to a rich, golden crema.
Single Wall Filters for Aspiring Baristas Experiment with grind size, grind amount and tamp The appliance is supplied with two Single Wall Filters - 1 x single shot and 1 x double shot. These filters provide no additional slowing of the water flow rate, hence experimentation with the grind size, grind amount and tamp force is required to achieve favorable results. These filters are suited to both pre-ground vacuum packed espresso as well as beans ground fresh in the integrated grinder.
• Preheat the portafilter by placing underneath the group head. Rinse with hot water from the group head by holding down the double shot button on the front, right hand side of the machine. Dry the portafilter thoroughly before use. Unlike the Dual Wall Filters, the Single Wall Filters have no markings on the underside of the filter. • Place the portafilter into the grinding cradle • Press the FILTER SIZE button according to the filter size (single shot or double shot) you select.
STEP 7 - TAMPING THE GROUND ESPRESSO For ease of use, the appliance provides two handy ways to tamp your espresso: 1. Tamper on Board: The tamper device is held in place, on the machine, allowing for convenient tamping. a. Once the grind function has been completed, remove the portafilter from the grinding cradle. Gently level the grinds in the portafilter with your finger. b. With the tamper fitted into place, lift the portafilter towards the tamper base c.
STEP 9 – EXTRACTIon • Ensure all the button surrounds on the control panel are illuminated, indicating the machine has reached the correct temperature for brewing, 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.

The reset to the default settings, or overridden by the manual function.
STEP 10 – EMPTYING THE PORTAFILTER • Remove the portafilter from the group head by rotating the portafilter to the left until it releases. • To empty the used grounds, turn the portafilter upside down in a bin and gently knock out the grounds. Used grounds should be thrown away with domestic waste. Discarding of used grounds in a sink can cause drains to become blocked.
There are two phases to texture milk: Stretching the milk to aerate it and swirling the milk to make it silky smooth and the right temperature. In practice these two operations should blend into one. STEP 1 - STRETCHING THE MILK Hold the jug so the tip of the steam wand is just below the surface of the milk and with your free hand engage the steam. Every so often lower the jug so the steam wand just breaks the surface of the milk and makes a hissing sound.
ESPRESSO MAKING TIPS 63
WARMING YOUR CUP OR GLASS A warm cup will help maintain the espresso optimal temperature. Preheat your cup by holding down the one cup button and running hot water into the cups from the group head without the portafilter inserted and place the cups on the warming tray. WARMING THE PORTAFILTER A cold portafilter can drop the extraction temperature enough to significantly affect the quality of your espresso.
Care & Cleaning INSTALLING / REPLACING THE FILTER IN THE WATER TANK The Water Filter provided with the appliance can significantly reduce substances that affect the smell and taste of water such as free chlorine, certain pesticides and organic impurities as well as traces of heavy metals. The Water Filter can be removed from the water tank during operation if not required.
DECALCIFYING After regular use, hard water can cause mineral build up in and on many of the inner functioning components, reducing the brewing flow, power of the machine, and affecting the quality of espresso. We advise decalcifying the machine on a regular basis using a liquid discaler (f.e. Gastroback Premium Descaler 98175). Follow the instructions provided. WARNING: Do not immerse power cord, power plug or aplliancein water or any other liquid.
• Remove the portafilter and frothing attachment. Pour the mixture of the discaler and water into the water tank. • Plug the machine into the power outlet. • Press the POWER button to the on-position. • Place a large container under the group head and steam wand. • When the brewing temperature has been reached all the button surrounds on the control panel will illuminate. Press and hold the one cup and two cup button to commence manual pour.
• If the steam wand remains blocked, use the pin on the cleaning tool to clear the opening. • If the steam wand continues to be blocked, the tip of the steam wand can be removed by using the fitting in the middle of the cleaning tool. • Unscrew the tip with the cleaning tool. • Soak the tip in hot water before using the pin on the cleaning tool to unblock. Replace the tip back onto the steam wand and secure with the cleaning tool.
CLEANING THE STORAGE TRAY The storage tray can be removed after the drip tray is removed then cleaned with a soft, damp cloth (do not use abrasive cleansers, pads or cloths which can scratch the surface). STORage Before storing, press the POWER-button to off, turn the steam dial to off and unplug. Remove unused beans from the hopper, empty the water tank and the drip tray. Ensure the machine is cool, clean and dry. Insert all accessories into position or into the storage tray. Store upright.
