Introduction

Swift espresso preparation system

The Swift EPS

grinds, doses and tamps coffee directly into the portafilter, eliminating the need to

do this manually. It measures and doses by volume, not time, so waste and product inconsistency

are reduced. At the same time, the Swift EPS

enhances coffee freshness by grinding coffee by

dose, not by bulk.

6. Equipment Operating Instructions

Engaging the portafilter

The portafilter engages directly to the Swift EPS

. Since the Swift EPS

has no watertight seal, it is

not necessary to force the portafilter into place. Engage the portafilter with only a light amount of

force. If the grinder shifts on the counter top, you are using too much force.

Engage portafilter gently There is no need to force it into position

Operating the SWIFT

Once the portafilter is engaged, press one of the start buttons located at the front of the Swift

EPS

. The right and left buttons correspond to the right and left bean hoppers. Coffee will be

ground, dosed, and tamped from one of these hoppers, depending on which button you press.

The red indicator lights located above the start buttons are illuminated when the Swift EPS

grinding and tamping. Wait for the light to turn off before removing the portafilter. Once the red

light corresponding to the button selected is no longer illuminated, you may remove the portafilter

from the Swift and engage it into the espresso machine.

The Swift EPS

tamps the coffee as it is ground. When the volume of ground coffee in the

portafilter reaches the set level, the grinding motor turns off. The tamping motor continues to run

for 1-3 seconds, "polishing" the tamped coffee.

Blinking indicator lights

The indicator lights will flash for a number of reasons. These are summarized below:

• You attempted to start the process with a full portafilter.

• The safety timer has run out due to: Empty hopper; Closed bean gate; or Plugged hopper

chute.

• There is no portafilter engaged in the Swift EPS.

Adjusting coffee grind

To achieve your desired brew time and coffee consistency, a manual adjustment can be

made to the grinder to modify the coarseness or fineness of the coffee. (The tamping pressure is

not adjustable and remains constant). Rotate the adjustor knobs as described below.

(1) Locate the grinder adjustor knob that corresponds to the left or right side of the grinder.

(2) Grinding finer coffee will result in a slower pour. To achieve a slower pour, adjust the knobs as

follows:

• Left hopper: Turn the knob counterclockwise.

• Right hopper: Turn the knob clockwise.

(3) Grinding coarser coffee will result in a faster pour. To achieve a faster pour, adjust the knobs as

follows:

• Left hopper: Turn the knob clockwise.

• Right hopper: Turn the knob anticlockwise.

When making this adjustment, remember to turn the knob at a minimum of half-turn increments.

Brew one or two shots to test the adjustment.

Note: Several variables can affect coffee quality: temperature, humidity,

freshness of roast. All of these can cause slight variations in shot times.

7. Equipment Care & Cleaning

Daily cleaning

Daily cleaning of the Swift EPS

is important for the quality of your coffee beverages and for the

mechanical life of the equipment. When the cleaning instructions are carried out each day, there

will be little chance of old coffee residues spoiling the flavour of your espresso drinks, or interfering

with the mechanical operation of your machine. There are three areas that must be cleaned: the

bean hoppers, the burr chamber, and the impeller.

HOPPERS AND BURR CHAMBER

1 2

1. Close the bean gate to prevent coffee from entering the burr chamber.

2. Grind coffee into the portafilter to clear the burr area of coffee. Usually two doses.

3. Unplug the Swift.

4 5

4. Loosen the safety screw that secures each hopper to the base.

5 .Remove the hoppers, while holding the bean gate to prevent them from opening.

6 7

6. Vacuum out the burr area.

7. Using a clean towel, wipe the inside of each hopper. Pay close attention to the bean gate area.

8. Reassemble and test for proper operation.

CLEANING THE IMPELLER

2 3 5

1. Unplug the Swift.

2. Remove the tower cover.

3. Push the shaft brake backwards and hold.

4. With the brake applied, use your thumb and forefinger, pressed against the impeller's flaps, to

remove the impeller

5. With the impeller removed, clean around the bayonet ring with a brush and wipe loose grounds

from this area.

6 7 8

6. Insert the brush into the collection area above the impeller and again wipe away loose grounds.

7. Clean the impeller with a soft dry cloth.

8. Reinstall the impeller by turning counter-clockwise.

USING THE CLEAN-OUT TOOL

If either Grinder motor fails to operate, the usual cause is a clogged grinding chute or chamber.

2002 model Swifts now come with a tool that can be used to unclog the chute without

disassembling the grinder.

1. With this new modification to the grinder there is no need anymore to remove the tower to

use the clean-out tool.

2. Turn the grind adjust knob 4 turns in the direction of “faster pour”

3. Rotate the cover to the grind chute to access the grinding chute hole inside to clean the grinder.

4. Locate the clean-out tool access hole on either side of the coffee chute.

5. Gently and with caution insert insert the Clean-out tool into the hole and apply forward pressure

until the tool is fully inserted into the chute.

6. With the clean-out rod fully inserted, wiggle and rotate the tool to loosen the compacted coffee

7. Remove the tool and push the appropriate start button.

8. If the grinders chute clears return to normal operation.

9.If the grinder chute remains clogged, disassemble the grinding burr area and clean thoroughly.

Reset grinder adjustment to the original setting
