KEY FEATURES OF YOUR ESPRESSO MACHINE ES 8011
Programmable Function
This espresso machine oers a convenient
choice between the Manual Operation or the
intelligent Programmable Function that can be
personalised with the user’s favourite espresso
setting.
Espresso Pressure Gauge
The espresso pressure gauge assists in obtaining
the most favourable extraction pressure, guid-
ing the user to create their ideal espresso. This
is achieved by measuring the pressure at which
the water is being forced through the ground
coffee in the filter holder.
White Zone – Ideal Espresso
The gauge needle when positioned within the
recommended White Zone during pouring indi-
cates that the espresso will be produced at the
ideal pressure. The brewed espresso should have
a generous layer of fine textured and evenly co-
loured golden créma.
Green Zone – Under Extracted
The gauge needle when positioned within the
Green Zone during pouring indicates that the
espresso will be produced with insufficient pres-
sure resulting in an ‘under extracted’ espresso.
This occurs when the water flow through the
ground coffee in the filter is too fast. As a result
the optimal flavour will not be extracted and the
coffee will be watery and lack thick créma on the
top. Possible other cause for under extraction
are: coffee grind is too coarse and/or insufficient
coffee in filter and/or under tamping.
Red Zone – Over Extracted
The gauge needle when positioned within the
Red Zone during pouring will indicate that the
espresso will be produced with too much pres-
sure resulting in an „over extracted“ espresso.
This occurs when the water flow through the
ground coffee in the filter is too slow. As a re-
sult the coffee will be very dark and bitter, with
a mottled and uneven créma on top. Possible
other causes for over extraction are: ground cof-
fee is too fine and/or too much ground coffee in
filter and/or over tamping.
NOTE:
To help reach the white zone use the
Advanced Dual Wall Créma System Filters.
These filters are designed to intentionally
slow the water flow rate during brewing
allowing you to easily pour your espres-
so at the ideal pressure.
Hot Water Wand
The dedicated hot water wand is ideal for mak-
ing your favourite hot drinks. For convenient use
the wand has a commercial style 360° ball joint.

KEY FEATURES OF YOUR ESPRESSO MACHINE ES 8011
Commercial Style Steam Wand
The swivel-action steam wand, with stainless
steel frothing attachment, easily adjusts to the
perfect position for texturing milk. The wand has
a commercial style 360° ball joint.
Advanced Dual Wall Créma System
Filters
Advanced Duall Wall Créma System Filters (one
and two cup) are supplied with this Espresso
Machine.
The Advanced Duall Wall Créma System Filters
are designed to intentionally slow the water
flow rate during brewing, allowing you to easily
pour your espresso at the ideal pressure, for the
perfect créma.
The filters are suited to both pre-ground vacuum
packed coffee and freshly ground coffee.
Electronic Temperature Control
The electronic temperature control system ac-
curately maintains the optimal brewing tem-
perature of the water. This helps ensure the user
gets the best possible extraction each time an
espresso is made.
Energy Saving Features
The Espresso Machine will enter the „Power
Save Mode“ if not used for one hour, and will
automatically switch off if not used for a further
three hours. The „Power Save Mode“ uses 45%
less power than when the machine is in „Stand
by“ Mode. During „Power Save Mode“ only the
POWER button surround will be illuminated. All
other button and light surrounds will not be il-
luminated.
To re-activate the machine during „Power Save
Mode“, simply press the program or one-cup
or two-cup buttons. The POWER button
surround will then illuminate and flash while the
machine quickly reheats to operational tempe-
rature. When the correct temperature has been
reached, all the buton surrounds on the control
panel will illuminate.
To switch off the espresso machine whilst it is
in „Power Save Mode“, simply press the POWER
button once.

OPERATING YOUR ESPRESSO MACHINE ES 8011
STEP 1 – FILLING THE WATER TANK
• Ensure the Power button is in the„Off“ posi-
tion and the Selector Control, on the side of
the machine, is set to the Standby position.
• Switch the machine off at the power outlet
and unplug the power cord.
• Remove the filter holder if locked into the
brew head and move the steam wand to the
side of the machine.
• Remove the water tank by sliding out using
the handle insert in the front of the water
tank.
• As the water tank is removed, a black tube
slides and extends out from the water tank
storage area. Do not touch or try to remove
this tube, it will automatically slide back into
position when the water tank is re-inserted.
• Fill the water tank with cold, tap water to the
maximum mark on the water window and
slide the water tank carefully back into posi-
tion in the machine.
• Ensure the Selector Control is in the„Stand-
by“ position and plug the power cord into
a 230 V power outlet and switch on.
• Press the POWER button to„On“, the POWER
button surround will flash while the machine
is heating. When the correct temperature
has been reached, all the button surrounds
on the control panel will illuminate.
NOTE:
Check the water level before use and
replace the water daily. The water tank
should be refilled with fresh, cold tap
water before each use. Do not use mi-
neral or distilled water or any other liq-
uid.
STEP 2 – PRE-WARMING THE CUPS
• The Cup Warming Plate will start to warm as
the machine heats.
• Pre-warm the espresso cups by placing on
the Cup Warming Plate. This will help main-
tain the coffee’s optimal temperature when
brewed into the cups.

16 OPERATING YOUR ESPRESSO MACHINE ES 8011
STEP 3 – PREPARING THE COFFEE
• Place the 1 or 2 cup filter into the filter holder
(use the smaller filter for 1 cup and the larger
filter for 2 cups). When brewing for a mug of
coffee always use the 2 cup filter and only
extract 60 ml. If you require a larger coffee,
add the hot water first and then brew the
coffee.
• Preheat the filter holder by placing under-
neath the group head. Rinse with hot water
from the wand using the hot water function
or from the group head and rinse with hot
water using the manual pour function. Dry
the filter and filter holder thoroughly before
use.
• Use 1 level measure of ground espresso cof-
fee for the 1 cup filter and 2 level measures
for the 2 cup filter. It is important to use the
correct amount of coffee for each filter as the
filter perforations have been constructed to
utilise the pressure in the machine to extract
optimal flavour with each brewing. (Refer to
„The Coffee Making Tip“, page 23).
NOTE:
When using a 1 cup filter holder, for op-
timal flavour, you should only extract
approximately 30 ml. When using a 2
cup filter holder, for optimal flavour,
you should only extract approximately
60 ml. STEP 4 – TAMPING THE GROUND
COFFEE
• Distribute the ground coffee evenly in the
filter and press down lightly with the tamp-
ing end of the measuring spoon. (Refer to
„Coffee Making Tips“, page 23).
• Clean any excess ground coffee from the rim
of the filter holder to ensure a proper fit into
the group head.

MANUAL ESPRESSO
Press and hold the single or two cup
button. Release the button once sufficient coffee
has flowed into the cup.
NOTE:
PRE – BREW FUNCTION
When a single or double coffee is se-
lected, the machine will pump water
momentarily, followed by a pause then
continues to pump the water through to
the ground coffee in the filter holder. The
ground coffee is moistened by a small
amount of water before full extraction
then expands resulting in greater pres-
sure build-up to extract all the oils and
full flavour from the ground coffee.
STEP 8 – EMPTYING THE FILTER HOLDER
Remove the filter holder from the group head
by rotating the filter holder to the left until it re-
leases. To empty the used coffee grounds, turn
the filter holder upside down in a bin and gently
tap out the coffee (used coffee grounds should
be thrown away with domestic waste and not
down the sink which may block drains). Remove
the filter by using the indents on the side of the
filter holder. Rinse the filter and filter holder with
water and allow to dry.
WARNING:
THE METAL PARTS OF THE FILTER HOLD-
ER MAY STILL BE VERY HOT. COOL THESE
PARTS IN COLD WATER.

20 HOW TO FROTH MILK FOR A CAPPUCCINO OR LATTÉ
HOW TO FROTH MILK FOR A CAPPUCCINO OR LATTÉ
The Espresso Machine comes complete with
a Commercial Style Swivel Steam Wand and
Stainless Steel Frothing Attachment. When us-
ing the frothing attachment on the steam wand
a large amount of froth is easily created.
If less texture is required, remove the frothing at-
tachment from the steam wand and steam the
milk using the steam wand. To remove the froth-
ing attachment, ensure it is cool then simply pull
down and remove. The frothing attachment can
be stored in the storage tray inside the machine
if not used regularly.
To refit the frothing attachment ensure it is se-
curely attached to the steam wand by inserting
it, from either opening, onto the steam wand
and pushing firmly upwards onto the rubber sur-
round. Ensure the fine steam holes on either end
of the frothing attachment are clean to achieve
optimal texturing.
• Press the POWER button to„On“.
• The first step in making a cappuccino or latté
is to make a short espresso. Refer to„Operat-
ing your Espresso Machine“, pages 15–17.
• Then fill the stainless steel frothing jug
1⁄3 full with cold, fresh milk.
• Turn the Selector Control to the„Steam“ po-
sition . The steam light will start to
flash indicating that the Thermoblock Heat-
ing System is heating and preparing to cre-
ate steam.
• For improved results, purge the steam wand
of water before placing into the milk.
NOTE:
When the espresso machine creates
steam, a pumping noise can be heard.
This is the normal operation of the
15 Bar pump.
• When the steam light stops flashing, quickly
insert the steam wand into the jug of milk so
that the froth attachment is just immersed
into the milk.
NOTE:
If steam starts coming from the steam
wand before it is immersed in the milk,
pause the steam by turning the Selector
Control back to the „Standby“ position.
This will avoid the steam pressure blow-
ing milk out of the jug.
