1 - All of the flavor comes from the beans, choose different kinds of roasts and
beans according to the type of coffee you make.
2 - For making espresso, medium- or dark-roasted coffee beans are well-suited.
If you use light-roasted coffee beans, the final coffee will be lighter in both its
color and flavor.
3 - Fresh, quality coffee beans will give you the best possible extraction. Bad
beans will not only affect your grinding results but also ruin your final coffee.
There are many types of beans on the market. To ensure best grinding results,
high quality beans are recommended.
4 - Old coffee beans, no matter what the grind setting is, will have a fast extraction
and will produce an under extracted tasting espresso.
5 - Buy coffee grinds well-suited for espresso if you don’t want grinding. When
using pre-ground bagged grinds, try to dose in half the grinds then tamp & re-
peat again.
5.3 Tips for Making the Perfect Espresso
1 - Coffee Beans/Grinds
The grind size will affect the rate of water flow through the coffee in the filter
basket and the flavor of the espresso. To make good espresso, a fine grind is
a must. Coarse coffee grinds can make the extraction too fast and lead to an
under extraction. But also note don’t use too fine grinds to avoid water
blockage or overflow from the portafilter. After tamping, make sure wipe
away any excess coffee grinds on the edges of the portafilter before installing
it to the machine.
2 - Grind Size
Add a proper amount of coffee grinds to the portafilter. The
correct dose of the double cup filter is around 14 grams not
past the MAX line.

1 - A spoon of flat coffee grinds is approximately equal to 7g. Collect the
coffee grinds with the provided spoon and shake the coffee grinds gently
to make the surface flat.
2 - There is a bump in the filter and a pit in the portafilter. You need to
align the bump of the filter to the position of the pit in the portafilter
before you can put the filter into the portafilter.
3 - Use the double cup filter when brewing two cups or a stronger single
cup or mug.
4 - You may need to experiment with how much coffee is put into the filter
or how long your grinder needs to run to achieve the correct dose.
5 - Tap the portafilter several times to distribute the coffee grinds evenly
in the filter.
6 - It is normal for the correct dose of coffee grinds to appear overfilled
in the filter before tamping.
NOTE
Tamp the coffee grinds firmly with pressure around 10-15kg
but not too hard to avoid water blockage or overflow from the
portafilter. After tamping, make sure wipe away any excess
coffee grinds on the edges of the portafilter before installing
it to the machine.
4 - Tamping Force
1 - Isolating changes to grind size & tamping force will assist in producing
a consistent taste every time.
2 - After tamping make sure wipe away any excess coffee grinds on the
edges of the portafilter before installing it to the machine.
3 - If the coffee grinds exceed the MAX line after being tamped, you can
continue to tamp. If the grinds are too firm to tamp down, take some
grinds out and then re-tamp.
NOTE
Before brewing, make sure the knob is in the " " position and the temperature
is suitable, at this point, the espresso function indicator illuminates blue, and
5 - Water Temperature
the MILK STEAMING button is not being pressed down. The espresso function
indicator is the only correct indicator for brewing coffee, and the thermometer
gauge is only for reference. When the espresso function lights up, it means the
temperature right now is suitable for brewing coffee.
Take note of the below 2 cases of misoperation:
1- Low Temperature
The machine is just turned on and in the process of pre-heating, so it has not
reached a suitable temperature for brewing coffee. Before brewing coffee, make
sure the pre-heating process has finished, at this moment, the espresso function
indicator illuminates blue.
2- High Temperature
The suitable temperature for brewing coffee is around 92 degrees Celsius(198
degrees Fahrenheit). If you accidentally press the MILK STEAMING button or
immediately brew coffee after steaming, the temperature will be too high, and
it is not suitable for brewing coffee.
A - If the MILK STEAMING button is being pressed down, reset the MILK STEAMING
button to its initial state wait until the temperature is cool down and the espresso
function indicator is on then press the BREWING ESPRESSO button for brewing.
Here 2 ways for cooling down the machine:
a - Wait for the machine to lower down to a suitable temperature, but this will
take some time.
b - Release the steam by turning the knob to the hot water icon to shorten the
cooling time. Wait for the machine to stop releasing hot water from the steam
wand. Now, the machine is ready for brewing coffee.
B - If the machine just finished steaming, do not brew coffee immediately. Make
sure the MILK STEAMING button to its initial state, you can follow the above for
cooling down the machine and then brew coffee.
If for 2 shots with 1 cup, it is recommended that the capacity of the cup is about
100mL. While for 2 shots with 2 cups or 1 shot with 1 cup, it is recommended that
each cup is about 50mL. The cups without pre-heating or too large will make the
temperature of the espresso drop quickly, resulting in a poor flavor.

6. Milk Frothing Guide 6. Milk Frothing Guide
Milk frothing is the steaming of milk.
Key Elements of 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 Jug.
6.1 Brief Introduction

7. Hot Water Guide
Take note of the below 2 cases of misoperation:
CASE 1 - Low Temperature
The machine is just turned on and in the process of pre-heating, so it has not
reached a suitable temperature for hot water. Before turning the knob to the
Hot Water function, ensure the pre-heating process has finished, at this point,
the espresso function indicator illuminates blue， otherwise, no water will flow
out.
CASE 2- High Temperature
If you accidentally press the MILK STEAMING button or after steaming, and
then turn the knob to the Hot Water icon, as the temperature is too high so
it will not release hot water directly instead of releasing steam.
What to do?
A - If you accidentally press the MILK STEAMING button, reset the MILK STEA-
MING button to its initial state and the espresso function indicator will flash.
Wait until the temperature cools down to an appropriate temperature for hot
water, at this point, the espresso function indicator is solid, then turn the knob
to the hot water icon to start releasing hot water. Here are 2 ways for cooling
down the machine:
1 - Wait for the machine to lower down to a suitable temperature, but this will
take some time.
2 - Release the steam by turning the knob to the hot water icon to shorten the
cooling time. Wait for the machine from releasing steam to hot water from the
steam wand then the machine is ready for hot water.
B - If the machine just finishes steaming, do not turn the Hot Water function
immediately. Firstly make sure the MILK STEAMING button has been reset to
its initial state and then follow the above for cooling down the machine to a
suitable temperature and then turn the knob to the Hot Water icon for enter-
ing the Hot water function.
Before turning the knob to the Hot Water icon, make sure the knob is in the
" " position and the temperature is suitable, at this point, the espresso
function indicator illuminates blue, and the MILK STEAMING button is not
being pressed down, otherwise, even though you have turned the knob to
the water icon, the steam wand will not release hot water, or only release steam.

1 - In daily use, limescale gradually builds up inside the machine’s water
pipes and heaters where water flows through. This machine can brew
coffee or froth milk independently and these 2 functions with independent
water pipes, hence each time either brewing coffee or frothing milk will be
considered as one count of use.
2 - We suggest descaling the machine when the machine reaches a certain
count of use. The number “100” mentioned below is the total count of
use that includes both coffee brewing and milk frothing.
NOTE

After Use
After Each Brew
Make sure to clean the ground coffee from the group head after each use, as
some older coffee grinds may be sitting inside your machine and will affect the
quality of your next batch. For operation guide, For operation guide, refer to
page 21, steps 19-33 in section“5.5 Operation”.
Descaling Solution
After 100 Uses
9. Cleaning & Maintenance
Decalcification refers to the removal of calcium deposits that form over time on
the metal parts of your machine. The mineral content of the tap water in your area
and the frequency of use affect the rate of the calcium buildup, which can affect the
functioning of your machine and the flavor of your coffee. To keep your coffee
machine operating efficiently, you should clean away the mineral deposits left
by the water regularly according to the water quality in your area and the
frequency of use.
The machine should be deep cleaned every 100 uses to maintain its
performance.
You have 3 options:
You can also use powder descalers or others to clean your machine as you
like. For specific cleaning methods, please refer to the instructions provided
by your descaler provider.
a. One espresso machine descaling tablet.(Espresso Machine Cleaning Tablets are
available for purchase online or through major retailers.)
or
b. Liquid descaler.

c. White vinegar & warm water.
1 - Please make sure that the rubber plug of the water outlet of the water tank
is removed;
2 - It is recommended to use pure water;
3 - Please fill enough water in advance but do not exceed the MAX line of the
water tank, and do not add too little water, otherwise when the water runs out
the water pump will make a loud noise and affect the coffee effect.
4 - Ensure that coffee is made according to the 7 requirements, refer to "5.3 Tips
for Making the Perfect Espresso", page 14.
1 - If the water runs out midway, refill the water tank. To ensure the best flavor
of the coffee, discard the used coffee grinds, and restart brewing with fresh coffee
grinds.
2 - Do not remove the portafilter when it is in use to avoid scalding.
3 - If the portafilter is not installed in place during brewing, turn off the POWER
