Design Espresso Machine Advanced Pro G Owner's manual

• 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 4 – ADJUSTING THE GRIND SIZE

• When setting the grind size it should be fine but not too fine or pow-

dery. The grind will effect the rate at which the water flows through the

ground espresso in the filter and therefore the taste of the espresso.

• If the grind is too fine (looks like powder and feels like flour when

rubbed between fingers), the water will not flow through the ground

espresso even when under pressure. The resulting espresso will be over

extracted, too dark and bitter, with a mottled and uneven crema on top.

• If the grind is too coarse the water will flow through the ground espresso too quickly. This will

result in an under-extracted espresso lacking in flavor and without the thick crema on the top.

STEP 5 – ADJUSTING THE GRIND AMOUNT

• When grinding for a Single Wall Filter using a finer espresso grind,

you will need to increase the grind amount to ensure the filter is correct-

ly filled.

• To increase the grind amount, turn the GRIND AMOUNT dial beyond

the DUAL WALL setting to obtain the correct amount of ground espresso.

Note: You may need to try step 4 and 5 a few times, slightly adjusting

the GRIND SIZE and GRIND AMOUNT dials each time until you reach your desired com-

bination.

STEP 6 – GRINDING THE BEANS

• Fill the hopper with fresh coffee beans.

• Ensure the portafilter is inserted into the grinding cradle.

• Ensure the FILTER SIZE button reflects the filter size inserted in the

portafilter.

• For Auto Start and Stop Grinding - push the portafilter in once to

activate the grinding switch, then allow the portafilter to be filled with

fresh ground espresso.

Note: To stop the auto grinding midway through a grinding cycle, push the portafilter in

once, or press the FILTER SIZE button.

• For manual grinding - push and hold the portafilter in until the desired amount of ground

espresso has been delivered.
