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.
