HOW TO MAKE COFFEE
Purging the Group Head
Before placing the portafilter into the group
head, run a short flow of water through the
group head by pressing the 1 CUP button. This
will purge any ground coffee residue from the
group head and stabilize the temperature prior
to extraction.
Inserting the Portafilter
Wipe excess coffee grinds from the rim of the
filter basket to ensure a proper seal is achieved
in the group head.
Place the portafilter underneath the group head
so that the handle is aligned with the INSERT
position. Insert the portafilter into the group
head and rotate the handle towards the center
until resistance is felt.

Extracting Espresso
• Place pre-warmed cup(s) beneath the
portafilter and press the 1 CUP or 2 CUP
button for the required volume.
OR
• As a guide, the espresso will start to flow after
8-12 seconds (infusion time) and should be
the consistency of dripping honey.
• If the espresso starts to flow before 7 seconds
you have either under dosed the filter basket
and/or the grind is too coarse. This is an
UNDER-EXTRACTED shot.
• If the espresso starts to drip but doesn't flow
after 12 seconds, then you have either over
dose the filter basket and/or the grind is too
fine. This is an OVER-EXTRACTED shot.
A great espresso is about achieving the
perfect balance between sweetness, acidity,
and bitterness.
The flavor of your coffee will depend on many
factors, such as the type of coffee beans, degree
of roast, freshness, coarseness or fineness of the
grind, and the dose of ground coffee.
Experiment by adjusting these factors just one
at a time to achieve the taste of your preference.
