Heating your cup or glass
A warm cup will help maintain the coffee’s
optimal temperature. Preheat your cup by
rinsing with hot water from the Hot Water
outlet and place on the cup warming tray.
Heating the portafilter and filter basket
A cold portafilter and filter basket can
reduce the extraction temperature enough
to significantly affect the quality of your
espresso. Always ensure the portafilter and
filter basket are preheated with hot water
from the Hot Water outlet before initial use.
notE
Always wipe the filter basket and filter
holder dry before dosing with ground
coffee as moisture can encourage
‘channeling’ where water by-passes the
ground coffee during extraction.
tHE grInd
When grinding coffee beans for espresso,
the grind size should be fine but not too fine.
The grind size will affect the rate at which
the water flows through the ground coffee in
the filter basket and the taste of the espresso.
If the grind is too fine (looks like powder
and feels like flour when rubbed between
fingers), the water will not flow through
the coffee even when under pressure.
The resulting espresso will be OVER
EXTRACTED, dark in colour and bitter
in flavour.
If the grind is too coarse the water will flow
through the ground coffee in the filter basket
too quickly. The resulting espresso will be
UNDER EXTRACTED lacking in colour
and flavour.
Wipe excess coffee from the rim of the filter
basket to ensure a proper seal in the group
head is achieved.
AUtomAtIC grIndIng,
doSIng & tAmPIng
• Ensure grinder hopper is filled with fresh
whole bean coffee.
• Position the portafilter underneath the
grinder cradle so the handle is to the left.
• Insert portafilter into grinder cradle and
rotate to the right towards the "START
GRIND" mark to initiate grinding,
releasing portafilter handle slowly back
to the centre position during grinding
operation.
• When grinding, dosing & tamping has
completed, the grinder will stop & the
tamper several seconds later. Rotate
portafilter back to the left and lower
