2.1 – DESCRIPTION OF MACHINE
A list of the main characteristics of the continuous supply coffee machine with electronic
control of coffee dispensing is given below.
- Powdered coffee or cartridges and capsules machine with electronic control of the
quantities dispensed measures by means of a button operated microprocessor.
- Automatic boiler relling.
- Stainless steel body
- High capacity boiler: for hot water and steam, made of nickel-plated copper so as to
retain its properties unaltered by aging.
- Dispensing group and heat exchanger: the brass dispensing group is the part where,
once the lter holder (containing the lter and the ground coffee or a cartridge) is
attached, a hot water jet passes through and infuses and dispenses the beverages.
The heat exchanger (one for each group) is submerged in the boiler water and allows
mains water to be brought quickly to optimal temperature, avoiding thermal imbalances in
the system.
- Red bolt: Comes equipped with Excelsior, an exclusive Brasilia technology that (thanks
to its unique circuiting) allows thermal stability to be optimised and thus coffee extraction
improved.
- Heating unit: a resistance submerged in the boiler water for heating the water and
producing steam.
- Rotary pump, equipped with pressure control. Raises system pressure, which is usually
insufcient, to 9 bar, the ideal pressure for extracting coffee.
- Steam taps: two-position lever dispensing allows milk to be foamed by using steam,
which is essential in preparing cappuccinos, or for heating water and preparing
chocolate.
Stainless steel wands.
- Hot water tap: using a specic button, hot water can be dispensed for preparing hot
beverages or herbal teas. Stainless steel wands.
- Cappuccino-maker (Optional) B-03C Total Cappuccino System: Prepares and heats milk
(using steam) to produce foamy milk for preparing cappuccinos or simply hot milk.
- Control instruments:
Gauges: they indicate boiler pressure and the pump’s operational pressure;
Pressure switch: controls the pressure and activation of the heat sources so as to
maintain constant boiler water temperature
Level indicator: marks boiler water level;
Warning lights: they indicate the boiler is full and the heating elements are active.

4.2 – DISPENSING COFFEE
1) Remove the lter holder from the group (A) and
throw away any coffee grounds that might be left
from a previous use.
2) Put coffee in the lter holder.
a. When using a professional grinder-dispenser: place
the lter holder in the appropriate position at the
base of the grinder-dispenser (B) and pull the small
lever (C) once for one coffee and twice for 2 coffees.
Warning: remember to pull the lever all the way;
then release and let it return to its starting position.
Verify that the grinder-dispenser is lled with enough
ground coffee for 2 or 3 measures. Once the lter
holder for dispensing espresso has been lled,
press the ground coffee using the tamper. Clean
away any excess coffee from the edge of the lter
holder.
b. When using a multiple use lter, a single measure
coffee cartridge can be used instead of ground
coffee.
3) Attach the lter holder to the group, rotating it until
it is latched on (D).
4) After having properly attached the lter holder, place
a cup under the nozzle (1). Use two cups if using a
two-cup lter holder.
RAISED VERSION: for preparing espresso and
cappuccino coffees as well as beverages in larger
cups or glasses (as high as 16 cm).
A stainless steel support grid on guide runners (2)
allows traditional beverages to be prepared (3).
5) To start dispensing use the panel (3) to select the
appropriate button for the desired coffee (Espresso,
regular etc.); the selected button will stay lit while all
the others will go off; once the appropriate amount
for the selected coffee has been dispensed it will
automatically stop.
6) After the coffee has been dispensed, leave the lter
holder attached to the group until the next use.

4.3 – GENERAL ADVICE FOR PROPER DISPENSING
Coffee and its related ingredients (milk, sugar, etc...) are sensitive products, therefore:
Store them in such a way that those that are closer to their expiration date will be used sooner.
Always verify the expiration dates. Products must not be stored where they are exposed to the
weather or in direct sunlight.
- Always heat the cup by rinsing it with hot water: if the cup is cold the sudden change in temperature of the
espresso will change its avour.
- NEVER leave coffee in the lter holder unless you are ready to use it immediately; ground coffee gets burned
in the group and the espresso would be very bitter.
- The machine’s operation involves highly pressurized water being forced onto the ground coffee. If water
contact with the ground coffee lasts longer than 20/30 seconds (on a 35 cc cup), the avour of the beverage
will be bitter and unpleasant. This effect is known as over-extraction.
- After dispensing coffee, it is best to carefully clean the lters as well as the funnels, so as to remove any
coffee grounds and to avoid altering the quality of subsequent coffees dispensed.
Use a damp cloth for cleaning the lter after having removed the grounds; with the lter holders removed,
press the continuous dispensing button and let hot water run through the funnels for 2-3 seconds.
- Ground coffee measure for a single espresso coffee is between 6 and 7 g; Measure for 2 coffees is 12-14
gr.
- Periodically check on the condition of the grinder-dispenser’s grinders.
