Making an Espresso Coee

With appliance prepared as idened in pre-heang above, ensure the coee is

ground before inserng it into the porta lter.

Cauon: The portalter and coee basket will be hot.

Cauon: Vibraon from the pump can cause the cup posion to move.

Always monitor the cup posion and ow of coee.

 Remove the preheated porta lter by rotang the handle clockwise to the

unlock posion.

 Add the appropriate amount of coee using the measuring spoon.

1 cup - 1 level scoop

2 cups - 2 level scoops

3. Using the tamper end of the measuring spoon, lightly press down the coee

into the basket.

4. Wipe away any excess coee from the rim of the portalter, align the portalter

with the appliance locaon and turn an-clockwise to lock into posion.

5. Wait unl the green Water temperature indicator (E) is illuminated and de-

press the pump control switch (B) to the <<P>> posion. The pump will operate

and hot water will ow from the portalter (G).

Note: The green indicator light may turn o and on during the coee making or

steaming operaon.

6. Observe the coee owing from the portalter into the cup. The coee

strength will decrease with me indicated by the colour of the liquid becoming

lighter. Depress and release the Pump switch to <<O>> when the required

strength/volume is achieved. Remove the cup.

Another espresso coee can be made by waing 30 seconds to allow excess water

to drain from the Portalter then repeat the steps 1—6 above.

Frothing Milk / Making Cappuccino

A cappuccino is made by preparing a shot of espresso coee and adding 100mls of

milk frothed and heated separately by the steam wand.

Be aware that the volume of milk increases by a factor of 2 when frothed.

Use full fat or semi-skimmed milk. Skimmed milk will result in poor frothing results.

Select an appropriate stainless steel milk container with a handle to keep hands

away from the steam nozzle (K).

Warning: The following operaon produces steam that can burn or scald.

Note: The pump must be operated to prime the water heater.

Note: The steam funcon will switch o automacally aer 3 minutes.

 Check that the controls are in the inial posion, Pump O and Mode switch set

to <<coee>>.

 Turn the appliance on and operate the pump switch (B). Turn the pump o

immediately when water ows from the portalter.

3. Depress the funcon switch (A) to the lower <<Steam>> posion.

4. When the temperature indicator (E) is illuminated purge any water in the steam

wand by placing the wand in a separate container and operang the steam

controller ON by turning it an-clockwise, then O—clockwise.

5. Dip the steam wand into the milk container and posion the nozzle just under

the surface of the milk.

6. Turn the steam control lever (M) an-clockwise to start making steam.

7. The milk can be frothed by moving the nozzle to the surface and just below the

surface of the milk. This may require pracce to achieve the correct results.

8. Use a temperature probe to achieve the desired milk temperature, 60 to 65C.

9. Turn the steam o by turning the steam control fully an-clockwise.

Note: Opmum milk temperature is between 60 and 65C. Heang the milk above

65C may cause a loss of taste or burn the milk.

10. Immediately aer frothing the milk wipe any excess milk from the steam wand

and nozzle. Place the water container under the steam wand and turn the steam

On then O to clean any milk from the inside of the steam tube and nozzle.
