The way the espresso pours will tell you
everything. Look out for:
1. Extraction Time
Extraction time provides a good indicator
of the quality of the pour. The optimum
time per shot varies between different bean
types and between freshly and pre-ground
coffee grinds. However, in general, the time
will be between 20-30 seconds for both
One and Two shots.
2. Look for Color Change
The optimum shot contains 3 elements:
Heart: At the base - starts out dark brown.
Body: Blends with the heart - becomes a
rich caramel with reddish reflections
.
Crema: The layer on top of the body -
dark golden.
Crema -
Body -
Heart -
3. Grinds
You may need to vary the coffee grind size
when using different beans.
4. Grind Dosage
For best results, grind dosage should
remain consistent:
One Cup: 6-7g.
Two Cups: 13-14g.

Milk frothing is the steaming of milk.
Key Elements to Frothed Milk
The steam only heats the milk. The milk
also needs to be aerated (add air) to create
the micro-foam, and needs to be blended
well together. Milk that has been frothed
correctly has been heated to between
140-149°F, and has a thick, rich micro-
foam with a silky sheen. It’s all about the
temperature, positioning of the Steam
Wand and when you move the Milk Pitcher.
1. Fill Milk Pitcher
Add coldmilk around 39°F into a chilled
clean Stainless Steel Pitcher.Fill to the
bottom of the spout.
2. Steam Warm Up
3. Position
Place the Steam Wand Arm in the Pitcher
spout at the 12 o'clock position, with the
Steam Wand Tip in the milk at the 3 o'clock
position. Keep the Steam Wand Tip just
under the surface of the milk. This will
create a whirlpool action.
4. Sound
How air is introduced to the milk
determines the consistency of the foam. If
large gulps of air are added to the milk, the
foam will have large bubbles. Introducing
air to the milk in a controlled, gentle
fashion indicated by a gentle hissing sound,
will ensure the milk has fine aerated micro-
foam.
Pro Tip: Milk Frothing Sounds
• Screeching - Tip too deep, lower Pitcher.
• Smooth Hissing - Just right for latte.
• Gurgling - Tip not deep enough, raise Pitcher.
5. Keeping Steam Tip Position
As the steam heats and froths the milk,
the milk will stretch causing the level of
the milk in the Pitcher to rise. As this happens
follow the level of the milk by lowering
the Pitcher, keeping the Steam Wand Tip just
below the surface.

For best milk texturing results every time,
ensure steam has warmed up before
texturing milk. Steam is ready when
STEAM light is fully on.
39°F
BVCLECM-PMPMN-SS23EM1(US).pdf82023/6/614:54

6. Amount of Foam
Create the amount of micro-foam you want.
Cappuccinos traditionally have more micro-
foam than a flat white.
(See Espresso Styles on the next page)
7. Immerse Tip
After you have created the amount of foam
you want, immerse the Steam Wand half
way down the milk level. This heats all
the milk and pulls in milk instead of air.
This ensures the milk and foam is blended
together, making it denser and smoother.
8. Correct Temperature
An indicator that correct milk temperature
has been reached is when the Pitcher can only
be heldfor approximately 3 seconds.
Pro Tip: Milk Temperature
• Under - If not heated long enough, it
will be warm with little froth.
• Optimum - between 140-149°F.
• Over - If heated for too long it will
start to boil around 162°F, and will
have a burnt taste with all froth lost.
9. Tap and Swirl the Pitcher
Gently tapping the Pitcher on the benchtop
helps release larger trapped air bubbles.
Swirling helps the milk and froth to
combine for an even consistency and a silky
appearance.

Ristretto
A ristretto is an extremely short espresso, distinguished by its
intense flavor and aftertaste.
• Espresso cup (1 oz)
• Half a single shot of espresso (0.5 oz)
Americano
A standard espresso with hot water added. The hot water is added
first so that the ‘crema’ is maintained.
• Cup (6 oz)
• Hot Water (to preference)
• Single or double shot of espresso (1-2 oz)
Con Panna
Con Panna, Italian for ‘with cream’, made up of an espresso topped
with lightly whipped cream. It can also be dusted with cinnamon or
chocolate.
• Cup (6 oz)

turn the dial to HOT WATER and allow
approximately 100mL of water to pour
through.
2. Press the ON/OFF button to turn off the
machine.
3. Leave the descaling solution in the machine
for 5 minutes.
4. Press the ON/OFF button to turn on the

may require replacement. The seal may
need replacing when watery espresso leaks
from around the group head, or if the portafil-
ter feels loose when fully rotated to the
centre position.
