High Temperatures – Risk of Burns • The Design Espresso Advanced – Barista Edition is designed for brewing espresso and coffee. 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).
Features of Your Design Espresso Advanced – Barista Edition 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 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.
filters are suited to both pre-ground vacuum packed espresso as well as beans ground fresh in the integrated grinder. Refer to ›Using Your Machine‹ (Step 4 & 5) for details on where to set the GRIND SIZE and GRIND AMOUNT dials. The Single Wall Filters have no markings on the underside of the filter. Energy Saving Features The appliance will enter the ›Power Save Mode‹ if not used for one hour, and will automatically switch off if not used for a further three hours.
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.

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.
STEP 4 – ADJUSTING THE GRIND SIZE • When setting the grind size it should be fine but not too fine or powdery. 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.
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 8 - INSERTING THE PORTAFILTER Place the portafilter underneath the group head so that the handle is aligned with the insert graphic. Insert the portafilter up into the group head and rotate the handle to the right until resistance is felt, this will be at an approximate 90° angle to the machine. STEP 9 – EXTRACTING THE ESPRESSO • 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.

This indicates the machine has returned to its original default settings. MANUAL FUNCTION The Manual function over-rides the preset shot size for one time only.
WARNING: Milk should not be allowed torun over the top of the frothing attachment, otherwise it will not function properly. To avoid splattering of hot milk, do not lift the end of the frothing attachment above the surface of the milk while frothing. Ensure the steam selector dia is in the STAND BY-position before removing the frothing jug. 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.
