INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
PRE-HEATING
To make a cup of good hot espresso coffee, we recommend you pre-heating the appliance
before making coffee, including the portafilter, filter and your cup, so that the coffee
flavour is not influenced by the cold parts.
1. Remove the water tank and fill it with fresh water, the water level should not exceed the
‘MAX’ mark in the tank. Then place the water tank on to the appliance properly.
2. Place the desired filter into the portafilter. Attach the portafilter to the appliance with
the handle by the “unlock” position, turn the handle anticlockwise until it is at the
“lock” position.
3. Place your espresso cup on the drip plate. Make sure the water/steam knob is on the
“DOT” position.
4. Plug in and switch on at the socket, press the On/off button and the appliance will
pre-heat.
5. When the control panel illuminates in full, press double cup (2 cup) button, hot water
will flow out into your espresso cup.
6. When the appliance stops pumping water automatically, the pre-heating is finished.
Should you need to stop water pumping out during this process, press the double cup
(2 cup) button again to stop water pumping immediately.
MAKING ESPRESSO COFFEE
1. Remove the portafilter by turning it clockwise. Add ground coffee to the filter with the
coffee spoon, a spoon of ground coffee can make about a cup of top-grade espresso
coffee, then press the ground coffee tightly with the tamper at the end of the
coffee spoon.
2. Attach the portafilter to the appliance with the handle by the “UNLOCK” position, turn
the handle anticlockwise until it is at the “LOCK” position.
3. Empty out your pre-heated espresso cup and place back on the drip plate.
4. Select single cup (1 cup) or double cup (2 cup) button according to your demand. The
button you have selected will flash. After waiting for a moment, your espresso coffee
will start to flow. A single cup usually takes about 15 seconds and a double cup 25
seconds. The maximum working time is 90 seconds, the appliance will automatically
stop working if there is no operation within 90 seconds.
5. The appliance will stop when the brewing cycle has finished and then your coffee is
ready now.
WARNING: Do not leave the Digital Espresso Maker unattended during making the
coffee, as you may need to operate it manually sometimes!
6. After finishing making the coffee, you can remove the portafilter by turning it
clockwise, then remove the coffee residue from the filter by flicking over the press bar
on the handle and turning over and tapping out.
