About espresso coffee Congratulations on the purchase of your Sunbeam Café Series® Espresso Machine. The Sunbeam Café Series® delivers quality, style and superior performance capturing the essence of the commercial kitchen. Inspired by heavy-duty equipment found in restaurants, cafés and bars, the Sunbeam Café Series® is built to last. It brings together a range of appliances designed to expertly create authentic café food and beverages at home.
Features of your Café Series® Espresso Machine Warming plate The large warming plate effectively prewarms cups helping to retain the essential characteristics true of espresso - sweet, rich tasting and aroma. Variable steam control dial Steam wand A dedicated thermoblock and pump provide an instant supply of powerful dry steam for achieving silky, dense and rich milk. The commercial 360° ball joint allows the steam wand to be moved into the ideal position.
Programmable control panel An easy to use control panel provides the choice of manual operation or utilising the programmed espresso pour lengths. Hot water control dial Hot water wand Dispenses a controlled flow of hot water. For ease of use the wand has a commercial 360° ball joint. 3 litre water reservoir Removable 3 litre water reservoir is fitted with an anti-calc filter and hand grips for easy filling.
Features of your Café Series Espresso Machine ® Twin Pump and Twin Thermoblock – TPTT™ System Italian designed and manufactured, the machine is fitted with a 15 BAR pump for the espresso function, delivering the pressure required for a complete extraction of oils, coffee solids and aroma. An additional 4 BAR pump is dedicated to the steam function, producing instant steam pressure for texturing milk.
Features of your Café Series® Espresso Machine continued slow and steady pour of liquid espresso with a consistency similar to that of dripping honey. The crema should be dark golden in colour. Should the needle fail to reach the target area this is an indication that the serve of espresso is ‘under-extracted’. This occurs when water passes too quickly through the tamped coffee grinds and is an indication that either the grind needs to be made finer or the filter basket has been under-dosed.
Features of your Café Series® Espresso Machine continued Filter Baskets Supplied with the espresso machine are two different sets of filter baskets – Standard Filter Baskets (one and two cup) and DualFloor Filter Baskets (one and two cup). The Standard Filter Baskets (one and two cup) are the same specification as used with commercial espresso machines and are less tolerant to the quality of the coffee bean. They have a single floor to the filter and if held up to the light you can see many small holes.
Features of your Café Series® Espresso Machine continued Pre-Infusion Pre-infusion is programmed into the double ‘MANUAL’, single espresso and espresso operations. It is a gradual increase of water pressure pre-soaking the coffee cake before full water pressure is applied. This in turn delivers greater body and sweetness to the espresso. Anti-Calc Filter An Anti-Calc water filter reduces impurities that taint the flavour and odour of the water, improving the taste and aroma of the espresso brewed.
Using the control panel Power Press the ‘POWER’ button once to turn the espresso machine on. The light above the ‘POWER’ button will illuminate green and start flashing; this is to indicate that your espresso machine is on and is heating up. Important: Once the manual operation is activated, before the espresso pour starts the pre-infusion feature will release three short bursts of gradual water pressure onto the coffee cake. After this the full water pressure is applied and the espresso will pour freely.
Using the control panel continued Note: When the coffee maker has activated the single espresso operation the lights above the ‘MANUAL’ and double espresso buttons will go off. The lights above the ‘POWER’ and single espresso buttons will remain on. Note: The coffee maker does not need to press the single espresso button again to end the pour as the espresso machine will stop automatically.
Heading Using the control panel continued Once the espresso machine is switched on and heated, so the light above the ‘POWER’ button is red and the lights above the ‘MANUAL’, single and double espresso buttons show a constant green light, the coffee maker is able to use the program function. To activate the program function, the coffee maker simply needs to press ‘PROGRAM’ button.

Heading Programming your espresso machine The Café Series® Espresso Machine has programming capabilities. Based on café settings the single and double espresso functions are set at 30 and 60mls. However by following a few simple steps the coffee maker can personalise the espresso machine to achieve a serve of espresso to exactly how they like it. Programming Single Espresso 1. Prepare the filter handle. Fit the group handle with the single filter basket (27) and fill with finely ground coffee (28).
Heading Programming your espresso machine continued Important: Although the espresso machine is on at the power outlet ensure that the actual espresso machine power is ‘OFF’. Therefore no lights will be illuminated on the espresso machine control panel. 2. Press and hold down the ‘MANUAL’ button. While still holding down the manual button briefly press the ‘POWER’ button and then release the ‘MANUAL’ button. 3.
Heading your espresso machine Preparing before use 1. Place the espresso machine onto a dry, stable benchtop. 2. Ensure the drip tray and grill are in place. 3. Fill the espresso machine with water. There are a couple of ways in which the water reservoir can be filled; a) Simply lift the lid of the water reservoir at the top of the espresso machine (1) and using a jug, fill with fresh cold water or filtered water (2). b) Alternatively the water reservoir can be removed and filled with fresh cold water.
Heading Guide to the perfect espresso Preheat Glasses 1. Preheat the glasses/cups by filling them with hot water as this will assist to preserve the crema of the espresso. Set the glasses/ cups aside. Preheat Group Handle and Filter Basket 2. Select the appropriate filter basket and place it into group handle (14). Tip: To achieve the best results for a single serve of espresso we advise you attach the single pour spout to the group handle and fit it with the single filter basket. 3.
Heading Guide to the perfect espresso continued Note: When using the ‘MANUAL’ operation the coffee maker must press the button once to start the pour and again to stop the pour. However with the single and double espresso operations the coffee maker need only to press these buttons once to start the espresso pour and the program will automatically stop the pour at the preprogrammed level.
Heading Guide to milk texturing Milk texturing is the steaming of milk. The steam does two things, heats the milk and also the steam mixes air with the milk to form an ‘emulsion’ of tiny bubbles that gives a silky velvet texture. Similar to making an espresso, perfecting the art of milk texturing takes time and practice. Tip: Remember espresso is the foundation for all espresso-coffee drinks and the milk is the variable. 1.
Using the hot water dispenser Heading The hot water dispenser is ideal for preparing long blacks, hot chocolate and filling coffee plungers. 1. Swing the hot water wand to the side of the espresso machine. 2. Place the cup or container under the hot water nozzle and activate the hot water function by turning the hot water control dial anti-clockwise as far as it will go (42). 26 3.
Espresso recipes ESPRESSO (SHORT BLACK) MACCHIATO Espresso is a concentrated, full bodied coffee with a stable layer of cream on top – known as ‘crema’. An espresso is the foundation of all café coffee. Variations are achieved by adding different amounts of milk and froth. Macchiato, Italian for ‘to stain or mark’. Traditionally served as a standard espresso with a dash of milk and a small dollop of froth into the middle of the ‘crema’.
Espresso recipes continued CAFFE LATTE CAFFE MOCHA An espresso with steamed milk, typically served in a glass. The layer of frothed milk on top should be 10mm to seal the coffee. Made in a similar way to a cappuccino but with the addition of drinking chocolate. Simply stir the chocolate into the espresso prior to adding the steamed milk and froth.
Care and cleaning The coffee making process involves extracting oils out of coffee grinds to make espresso coffee. Deposits of these oils build up over time and affect the taste of the coffee and operation of the espresso machine. Regular cleaning to remove these oils is essential and will maintain the quality of the coffee the espresso machine produces and result in less maintenance being required.
Care and cleaning continued Steam wand Keeping the steam arm clean is essential to ensure maximum efficiency of the steam function. A build up of caramelised/dried milk on the steam wand will impair the steaming and texturing ability of the espresso machine. Important: Wipe the steam wand clean with a damp cloth immediately after each use and purge a small amount of steam.
Cleaning the group head continued 3. Should the group handle be attached to the group head remove it. Remove the filter basket and rinse both thoroughly under running water and set aside. Note: The lights on the control panel will continue to chase until the cleaning cycle is completed, this will take approximately 10 minutes. 4. Empty and rinse clean the drip tray, then place back into position on to the machine.
Descaling Scale is a surface build up of minerals that naturally occur over time in all appliances that are involved with the heating of water. Therefore the espresso machine will require occasional descaling. It is recommended that the espresso machine is descaled every 4-6 months, this will vary depending on the frequency of use and water hardness. 2. Should the group handle be attached to the group head remove it, rinse thoroughly under running water and set aside. 3.
Descaling continued Note: Depending on the size of the container under the group head on occasion this may need to be emptied throughout this process. 13. Press the ‘MANUAL’ button and allow the entire water reservoir to cycle through the group head. 8. After half the solution has cycled through press the ‘MANUAL’ button to stop the flow and then press the ‘POWER’ button to turn the machine off.
Advanced programming options Espresso Thermoblock Temperature The water temperature of this espresso machine has been calibrated to the precise temperature of 92°C at the group head.
