Tips for Grinding & Tamping 1. Coffee Beans For optimum flavour & extraction: - Buy freshly roasted coffee beans in small 250g batches to reduce the storage time. - Use within two weeks of opening. - Store coffee beans in a dry, airtight container. Place in a cool dark cupboard. Important: Old coffee beans, no matter the Grind Setting, will have a fast extraction and will produce an under extracted tasting espresso. 2.
Tips for Perfect Espresso Extraction The way the espresso pours will tell you everything. oils, flavours & colours from the coffee grinds have been extracted. This creates a sour tasting espresso. 1. Extraction Time Extraction time is a good indicator of the quality of the pour. The optimum time per shot varies between types & freshness of coffee beans. However, in general, the pour time should be between 20-30 seconds for both One & Two Cup shots.
Tips for Milk Texturing Milk texturing is the steaming of milk. Key Elements of Textured Milk Milk that has been textured correctly has a thick, rich microfoam with a silky sheen. Texturing involves both heating and aerating milk using steam. Vital elements include positioning of the Steam Wand, when to adjust the Milk Jug position and reaching the correct temperature. Use the below steps to help you create café-style microfoam. 1.
Tips for Milk Texturing 6. Amount of Foam Create the amount of microfoam you want. Cappuccinos traditionally have more microfoam than flat whites. (See Coffee Styles to Try, pages 18-19) 7. Immerse Tip After creating the desired amount of foam, immerse the Steam Wand half depth way into the milk. This heats all the milk and pulls in milk instead of air. This ensures the milk & foam are blended together, making it denser & smoother. 8.
Coffee Styles to Try Espresso (Short Black) Espresso is a concentrated, full bodied coffee with a stable layer of crema on top. An espresso is the foundation of all café coffee. • Espresso glass (90mL) • Single or double shot of espresso (30mL-60mL) Ristretto A ristretto is an extremely short espresso, distinguished by its intense flavour, aftertaste and its thin crema on top. • Espresso cup (30mL) • Half a single shot of espresso (15mL) Long Black (Americano) A standard espresso with hot water added.
Coffee Styles to Try Flat White An espresso with textured milk & a thin layer of textured foam milk on top. The wider cup will create the slim layer of foam, the signature of the flat white. • Wide cup (190mL) • Single or double shot of espresso (30mL-60mL) • Textured milk & foam. Latte An espresso with textured milk & a finger width layer of textured foam milk on top. The narrower cup will create the thicker layer of foam.

ONE CUP - Pours 1 shot of espresso = 30mL TWO CUP - Pours 2 shots of espresso = 60mL MANUAL SHOT - Pours up to = 200mL Customise - One Cup Shot Volume - Insert One Cup Filter Basket into the Group Handle. - Dose with coffee grinds then tamp.

Customisable - Extraction Temperature The Thermoblock heats water so that espresso extracts at 92°C. For the best tasting espresso, balancing bitterness and acidity. You can adjust the water temperature used for espresso extraction, in 2°C increments between 88°C - 96°C, to cater for different types of roasted coffee beans and for personal preference. - Higher temperatures increase bitterness and decrease acidity. - Lower temperatures decrease bitterness and increase acidity.
Customisable - Extraction Pre-infusion Profile You can select from three Pre-infusion Profiles to cater for personal preferences. - Gentle Pre-infusion: Small defined amounts of water are introduced into the tamped coffee grinds, gently adding moisture to bloom the coffee grinds in preparation for a steady water flow. For a balanced tasting espresso. This is the default profile setting.
Care & Cleaning - Espresso Machine The espresso making process involves extracting oils out of coffee grinds. Deposits of grinds & oils build up over time, affecting the taste of the coffee & operation of the Espresso Machine. Purging water through the Group Head & Steam Wand, before & after making each coffee, is the easiest way to keep your Espresso Machine clean. (See Coffee Making Guide pages 10-13) Cleaning Accessories & Removable Parts - Clean parts in warm water with a mild detergent, rinse & dry.
Care & Cleaning - Espresso Machine Cleaning Cycle The CLEAN LIGHT will illuminate blue to indicate a Cleaning Cycle is required.
