How to Brew Espresso
1.
Always turn control dial to "RELEASE OFF" position and remove plug from wall
outlet before filling water. Never overflow water tank or use more than the
recommended amount of water.
2.
Use scoop end of the Scoop & Tamp tool to scoop fresh, medium ground coffee
into the Filter Basket. Fill to the '2' or '4' level markers inside the Filter Basket for '2'
or '4' servings of espresso. Then use the tamp end of the Scoop & Tamp tool to
gently level and tamp the coffee grounds in the Filter Basket.
3.
Place the Filter Basket inside the Portafilter. Make sure the Filter Basket Lock is
laying flush with the handle, then insert the Portafilter into the underside of the
machine. Position the handle under the 'INSERT' text. Insert the Portafilter, then
turn the handle left so it is now aligned under the "LOCK" text.
4.
Fill the carafe with water to the '2' or '4' level markers, matching the amount of
coffee grounds used in the Filter Basket. Remove cap from the top of the machine
and pour water from the carafe into the water tank. Replace the cap and turn right
until seal is tight.
5.
Place the empty carafe on the drip tray, positioning the carafe's lid directly under
the Portafilter's spout.
6.
Turn the control dial from the 'RELEASE OFF' position to 'ESPRESSO CUP' icon and
wait 3 minutes, the machine will heat, build pressure, and begin to brew espresso.
7.
Once espresso has reached the desired serving level slowly turn the control dial to
the 'PAUSE' position and wait until the indicator light is off. The espresso is now
ready.
8.
Move the control knob to the 'RELEASE OFF' position and release remaining
pressure.
9.
Once done, shut down power with power switch.
CAUTION: machine, parts, and liquids are very hot during and after use.
10. To avoid spillage or injury, do not detach the portafilter while the machine is
operating. Before removing the portafilter, release the pressure from the water
tank by moving the control dial to the 'RELEASE OFF' position. Keeping hands and
face away from the machine, allow steam to escape until there is none left.
11. Once cooled, remove the Portafilter, flip the filter basket Lock up and hold in place
using your thumb. Turn the Portafilter over to tap out grounds over a trash
receptacle. Wash Portafilter and Filter Basket in warm soapy water, dry, and
reassemble for storage.
12. Always release pressure and allow unit to cool for at least 5 minutes before storing
or starting next brew cycle. Machine and parts are very hot during and after use.
