Tip! Be sure to use a quality burr grinder for uniform consistency. Blade coffee grinders
are not recommended for espresso brewing because the grind is not as consistent.
• If you are experiencing problems with taste (bitter, sour, under extracted, etc.) adjust
the grind size of the coffee and/or switch the brand or roast of whole bean coffee.
5b. Preparing the Machine for Brewing
• 1. make sure the indicator light is illuminated solid blue and the control Knob is in
the "o" position.
• 2. make sure there is water in the water tank and your cup(s) are pre- warmed as
described in earlier chapters.
• 3. make sure the drip tray (Fig. 1, I) and drip tray grid (Fig. 1, h) are placed correctly
on the unit.
5c. Filling and Inserting the Portafilter
• 1. place the sieve in the portafilter and ensure it sits level. (Fig. 3)
• 2. Fill the selected sieve with fresh, finely ground coffee. clean any excess coffee
from the rim of the portafilter. This will assure proper fit under the brew head.
• 3. Tamp or compress coffee using the flat side of the coffee scoop/tamper (Fig.1, m).
Do not overfill the sieve. This might cause clogging or overflow.
• 4. position portafilter underneath the brew head and align the portafilter to "InserT"
while pushing the portafilter up. Turn the portafilter firmly to the right towards "LocK"
until it feels tight.
5d. Brewing Espresso
NOTE: If you are planning to make cappuccino, please refer to the next section "ma-
king cappuccino" after reading "Brewing espresso."
• 1. after you prepare the machine and ground coffee as described in the previous
sections you are ready to start brewing your espresso.
• 2. place 1 or 2 small cups under the portafilter. For brewing two cups at a time, you
can place the cups under the portafilter ensuring each one of them is directly under
one of the two spouts.
• 3. once the indicator light in the center of the control Knob illuminates solid blue,
the machine is heated to the proper temperature. rotate the control Knob to the left
towards the "cup icon", to start brewing. The pump is audible for a short moment as
the grounds are pre-infused with water. Then, after a short pause, the espresso will
begin to flow into the cup(s).
• 4. When the cup is filled to the desired level, turn the control Knob back to the "o"
position. Keep cup(s) under the spouts for an additional few seconds to be sure all of
the espresso has dripped out.
CAUTION! The machine must be turned off manually. Do not leave machine unat-
tended while brewing. You must manually stop the brewing process. This will avoid
overflow, spillage and potential hazards and damages.
