ATTACHING THE FILTER HOLDER BRACKET
Attach the portafilter bracket to the machine by lifting it slightly, then
pushing it downwards.
Replace the water daily. The water tank should be filled with fresh, cold tap water before each use.
NOTE:
Remove and discard all labels and packaging materials attached to your espresso machine.
Ensure you have removed all parts and accessories before discarding the packaging.
Remove the packaging and the plastics bags containing the accessories.
Clean the water tank, portafilter, filter baskets, milk jug and drip tray using warm water and a gentle dishwashing
liquid. Rinse well, then dry thoroughly before reassembling.
FILLING THE WATER TANK
Fill the water tank with cold tap water to below the MAX marking indicated on the side of the water tank.
BEFORE FIRST USE
ATTACHING THE COFFEE BEAN CONTAINER
01. Insert the coee bean container into the top of the machine.
Ensure the mark “ ” on the container aligns with the mark “ ” on the
machine.
02. Turn the container clockwise to attach it in place. Make sure the mark
“ ” is pointed at the mark “ ” on the machine.
03. Fill the bean hopper with fresh coee beans.

The freshness of the coee beans will aect the flavor of the coee and the pressure of extraction.
Stale coee may pour too quickly from the portafilter and taste bitter and watery, which also leads
to no pressure when brewing. To get the best flavor and extraction, we recommend changing the coee beans in
the container at least once a week.
NOTE:

INITIAL USE
It is necessary to rinse the machine and prime the heating system before the first brew.
01. Fill the water tank with cold tap water, and fill the coee bean container with fresh coee beans.
02. Insert the plug into a wall outlet with suitable voltage (120V~, 60Hz).
03. Press the Power button. The button indicators turn on and the coee maker starts to preheat automatically.
Once the preheating has finished, all the buttons will light up continuously. The machine is in READY
mode.
This preheating process takes about 2minutes.
04. Place an empty cup under the steam wand.
05. Press the HOT WATER button, and let the hot water dispense from the steam wand for eight seconds, then
return the steam knob to OFF. This process lets the water flow into the empty pump for the first use.
06. Pour out the hot water and place the empty cup under the brew head.
07. Press the single button once. Let the machine run a single shot cycle.
08. After the brewing cycle has finished, pour the water out.
Now your machine is ready to use.

WARNING
Only grind roasted coee beans in this machine. Do not process any other foods, such as nuts,
spices or liquids, to avoid damaging the grinder. Please do not operate the grinder when it is
empty, i.e. without coee beans.
Do not initially set the grind setting at 1-3.
It's possible no ground coee will be dispensed
because the grind settings are too fine when the machine is new.
The grinds will improve with use of the machine.
NOTE:
When grinding coee beans, the grind size should be fine, but not too fine. The grind size will aect the rate at
which water flows through the ground coee in the filter, the pressure of extraction and the taste of the espresso.
If the grind is too fine, the water will not flow through the coee, even when under pressure. The
resulting espresso will be OVER-EXTRACTED, dark in color and bitter in flavor.
If the grind is too coarse, the water will flow through the ground coee in the filter too quickly, and the pressure
will be under 5bar. The resulting espresso will be UNDER-EXTRACTED and lacking in color and flavor.
SETTING THE GRIND SIZE
This machine has 15 grind settings to select from. The smaller the
number, the finer the grind size; the larger the number, the coarser
the grind size.
Use the GRIND SIZE selector to adjust the grind size.
For a new user, we suggest setting the grind setting to 8initially, and then make adjustments depending on the
extraction of the coee and the pressure shown by the pressure gauge.
Select a finer grind setting when the pressure is under 5bar, then retry.
Select a coarser grind setting when the pressure is over 12 bar, then retry.
The grind setting will vary depending on the coee beans you use. You may need to experiment with the grind
setting to achieve the ideal pressure.
HOW TO USE THE GRINDER

This machine includes 2single filters: a “single espresso” filter and a
“double espresso” filter.
The provided filters are designed for:
single espresso filter = approx. 11-13g
double espresso filter = approx. 19-21g
Insert either the single or double espresso filter into the portafilter.
Select the single espresso size filter if you want to make a single espresso and double espresso size filter if you
want to make a double.
You will need to adjust the grind amount and size if switching from a single to a double filter, or vice versa.
GRINDING THE COFFEE BEANS
The amount of ground coee will aect the rate at which water flows through the coee in the filter, the pressure
of extraction and the taste of the espresso.
Too much ground coee will lead to OVER-EXTRACTION, and not enough will lead to UNDER-EXTRACTION.
AUTOMATIC GRINDING
01. Ensure the filter bracket is locked in place.
02. Insert the portafilter into the bracket.
03. Push and release the portafilter to activate automatic
grinding. The default auto-grinding time is 14
seconds. The grinder will grind for 14 seconds then
stop automatically.
04. If you need to stop the grinding process, push and
release the portafilter. The machine will stop
grinding.

MANUAL GRINDING
To manually grind the coee beans, push and hold the portafilter in the bracket until the desired amount of
ground coee has been dispensed. To stop grinding, release the portafilter.
It is normal for the portafilter to appear overfilled with ground coee.
NOTE:
The grinding time will vary depending on the coee beans you use. You may need to experiment
with how long the grinder needs to run to achieve the correct amount.
NOTE:
05. Push and release the portafilter to resume grinding.
06. To set the new auto-grinding time, push and hold the portafilter in the bracket until the desired amount of
ground coee has been ground. Once the portafilter is released, the coee maker will beep and set this
grinding time as the new auto-grinding time.

12 | [email protected]
The surface of the ground coee should not be beyond the MAX mark after tamping, otherwise
the portafilter might not be able to be locked into the brew head.
NOTE:
DISTRIBUTING THE GROUND COFFEE
01. Remove the portafilter from the bracket.
02. Using the distributor, tamp down firmly.
Rotate the distributor to even the surface of the ground
coee.
TAMPING THE GROUND COFFEE
01. Using the tamper, tamp down firmly using approx. 11-22 lbs (5-10kg) of pressure.
02. Wipe excess coee from the rim of the filter to ensure a proper seal is achieved in
the brew head.
As a guide to using the right amount of ground coee, the top edge of the metal cap on
the tamper should be level with the top of the filter after the ground coee has been
tamped.
Also, the MAX marks on both of the filters are intended to assist in identifying the right
amount of ground coee more easily.
