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. A great
espresso is a balance of main flavor elements: acidity, aroma, bitterness, body, nuttiness,
and sharpness. By using the Single Wall Filters you are free to explore the world of espresso
by adjusting grind, grind amount and tamp to extract a rich variety of flavors.
Extracting an Espresso
STEP 1 – FILLING THE WATER TANK
Ensure the charcoal water filter is securely fitted inside the tank. Refer to ›Care and Clea-
ning‹, ›Installing the Filter in the Water Tank‹
Fill the water tank with cold tap water to the maximum mark on the side of the tank and
slide the water tank carefully back into position at the back of the machine.
Plug the power cord into a power outlet.
Press the POWER button to ›on‹, the POWER button surround will flash while the machine
is heating. When the correct temperature has been reached, all the button surrounds on the
control panel will illuminate.
STEP 2 - PRE-WARMING THE CUPS
This will help maintain the espresso’s optimal temperature when brewed into the cups.
The cup warming plate will start to warm as the machine heats.
Run hot water from the group head without the portafilter inserted by holding down the
-button on the front, right hand side of the machine, then place the cups on the warming tray.
Note: Check the water level before use and replace the water daily. The water tank should
be refilled with fresh, cold tap water before each use. Do not use mineral or distilled water
or any other liquid.
STEP 3 – PREPARING THE SINGLE WALL FILTER
Place the single or double shot Single Wall Filter into the portafilter.
When brewing into a larger mug, always use the double shot filter and
only extract 2oz. If you require a larger serving, add the hot water first
and then extract the espresso.
