Head, contact Calphalon Customer Care.
Details are on the back page.
Thermoblock Fast Heating System
The thermoblock ensures quick heat up,
and a precise water temperature for the
best coffee extraction, and milk frothing.
The thermoblock is fitted with a
PID controller which continually monitors
the water temperature to ensure water is
always delivered to the coffee grinds at the
precise temperature needed.
An espresso is made with hot rather than
boiling water. The thermoblock heats the
water so that the
espresso extracts at 198°F
(just below boiling point) for optimum
extraction of oils from the coffee grinds.
Temperatures above this will burn the
grinds resulting in a bitter taste.
15 BAR Italian Pump
The thermoblock works in conjunction
with the pump to deliver the correct water
temperature at the correct pressure for
complete extraction of oils, coffee solids
and aroma.
The 15 BAR pump is fitted with a pressure
relief system, to limit the pressure to 15
bar (for protection from over-pressure).
After extraction, when the DIAL is
returned to the vertical READY position,
any remaining pressure will be released
(purged) into the Drip Tray.
Pre-Infusion
Small amounts of water are released onto
the tamped coffee grinds prior to the steady
flow of water, for a richer flavored espresso.
Italian Crema System
Dual Wall Filter Baskets create additional
back pressure creating a subtle aeration
for a great espresso extraction and steady
pour. They ensure a rich velvety espresso
with a signature layer of golden crema.
Dual Wall Filter Baskets are designed for
use with pre-ground grinds, however they
can also be used with freshly ground grinds.
Auto Shot Volumetric Control
Auto Shot is the easiest way to create a
great espresso. Just select 1 or 2 SHOT
on the DIAL, and it pours just the right
amount, then automatically stops.
Café 58mm Group Head & Portafilter
The Group Head and the Portafilter are
commercial sized, 58mm, just like your
local café.
The larger 58mm Portafilter holds
more coffee grinds, resulting in a true café
tasting coffee. The wider size ensures the
grinds are more evenly spread and easier
to fill, for improved flavor extraction.
The larger 58mm Filter Baskets allow
a more consistent grind compaction,
resulting in a better tasting coffee, and an
easier to empty used espresso pucks.

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 & pre-ground
coffee grinds. However, in general, the time
will be between 20-30 seconds for both
One & Two shots.
2. Type of Extraction
• Optimum Extraction
A quality pour has a steady flow with a
consistency similar to that of warm honey.
The resulting crema is dark golden.
The sweetest flavors and oils have been
extracted creating a rich tasting espresso.
• Under Extraction
The pour is quick and light in color, the
resulting crema is thin with a creamy light
brown color which quickly dissipates.
This occurs when too little of the essential
oils, flavors and colors from the coffee
grinds have been extracted. This creates a
sour tasting espresso.
• Over Extraction
There may be no pour, or it may be slow
and drip throughout the entire pour.
The resulting crema is very dark.
This occurs when too much of the essential
oils, flavors and colors from the coffee
grinds have been extracted. This creates a
bitter tasting espresso.
3. 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 -
4. Grinds
You may need to vary the coffee grind size
when using different beans.
5. Grind Dosage
For best results, grind dosage should
remain consistent:
One Cup: 10-12g - about 2 Tbsp.
Two Cups: 20-22g - about 1/4 metric cup.
6. Tamp Force
For best results, e
venly tamp (press) grinds
to the level indicated.
7. Filter Baskets
• Dual Wall Filter Baskets
Supplied with the Espresso Machine, these
work well with both pre-ground bagged grinds
& freshly ground grinds.

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 cold milk around 39°F into a chilled
clean Stainless Steel Pitcher.Fill to the
bottom of the spout.
2. Steam Warm Up
For best milk frothing results every time,
ensure steam has warmed up before
frothing milk . Steam is ready when STEAM
LIGHT is fully ON. You will also hear the
Pump start.
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.

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 held for 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 & 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.
10. The Finishing Touches
Pour from the Milk Pitcher into your cup in one
steady motion.
11. Purging the Steam Wand
After turning the DIAL to the vertical READY
position and removing the Pitcher from the
Steam Wand, place the Steam Wand over
the Drip Tray and purge the Steam Wand to
remove any milk that has been sucked up.
To purge turn the DIAL to the HOT WATER
position for a few seconds, then return the
DIAL to the vertical READY position.
12. Wipe Steam Wand
Wipe the Steam Wand Arm and Tip with
a clean damp cloth to remove any milk
residue.

The espresso making process involves
extracting oils out of coffee grinds. Deposits
of grinds and oils build up over time affecting
the taste of the coffee and operation of the
espresso machine.
Purging water through the Group Head
and Steam Wand, before and after making
each coffee, is the easiest way to keep your
machine clean.
(See Operating Guide page 6-9)

After continued use, your espresso machine
may develop a build-up of mineral deposits,
and therefore require occasional ‘descaling’.
We recommend descaling your machine
every 4-6 months, although this period
will depend on the hardness of water and
frequency of use.
Descaling Solution
You have 3 options:
A. Espresso Machine Descaling
Tablets.
or
B. Liquid Descaler
A & B Descaling options are available for
purchase online or from major retailers.

Troubleshooting Guide Troubleshooting Guide
PROBLEM Possible Cause What To Do
Espresso tastes
burnt
Type of coffee being used. Try different brands of coffee.
Using steam function just
before pouring an espresso
shot.
Allow time for the thermoblock to
purge steam and cool down before
pouring a shot of espresso.
The STEAM LIGHT should have
finished flashing & the READY LIGHT
should be fully illuminated.
Coffee is too
cold
Milk may not be heated
enough.
Ensure that milk is heated properly
during frothing, but be sure not to
heat too much and boil the milk.
See Milk Frothing Section pages 12-13.
No steam from
the Steam Wand
Steam Wand Tip is blocked. See Care & Cleaning, pages 18-19.
No water in the Water
Reservoir.
Fill reservoir with water. Run Hot
Water through the Steam Wand to
ensure water flows.
Not enough
froth when
frothing
Milk may not be fresh. Ensure the milk being used is fresh.
Milk temperature is too
warm.
Ensure you start frothing with milk
that is around 39°F.
Type of Pitcher being used. For best frothing results use a
chilled Stainless Steel Milk Pitcher.

Heat till the Pitcher can only be held for
approximately 3 second, 140-149°F.
The milk is making bubbles
rather than micro-foam.
Ensure the Steam Wand Tip is
positioned correctly. It should be just
below the surface of the milk.
Tap the Pitcher on the benchtop when
finished to release larger trapped air
bubbles.
Milk is not taking in enough
air.
Keep the Steam Wand Tip just under
the surface of the milk. This will help
to introduce air to the milk to create
micro-foam.
Pump makes an
unusually noise
No water in reservoir. Fill the Water Reservoir.
Water Reservoir not correctly
positioned.
Place the Water Reservoir firmly into
the back of the unit.
Red Plug from the packaging
may still be inserted.
Remove the red Plug found at the
base of the Water Reservoir.
