OPERATION
A. WHEN USING FOR THE FIRST TIME:
1. Remove the coffee maker from the packaging and check all accessories are provided
(refer product overview).
2. Clean all the detachable components in accordance with the following section of
“CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE”.
3. In order to flush the internal components, operate the appliance according to section “B”
and “C” but with no ground espresso coffee inserted. Repeat 2-3 times, disposing of the
heated water after each use.
B. MAKING ESPRESSO COFFEE:
1. Ensure the surface on which the coffee maker is placed is level, clean and free of water
and other substances and position the coffee maker in a convenient location near a mains
electrical supply socket.
2. Remove the water tank lid by turning it anti-clockwise. Carefully pour the appropriate
amount of water into the tank using the carafe provided. WARNING: Do not exceed the
maximum capacity (240ml). Ensure water used is clean and not pre-heated.
CAUTION: 1). the carafe provided has cup level markings, the maximum tank capacity
is equal to the ‘4 cups’ mark (240ml). The minimum tank capacity is equal to the 2 cups
mark (120ml).
2). Before pouring the water into the water tank, be sure the power cord is
unplugged from the power outlet and the control knob is in the
2))
5(/($6(
position.
NOTE: A standard coffee shot is considered as 30ml, double shot 60ml. The 240ml
maximum capacity equates to 4 cups whereby each cup is a double shot.
3. Replace the water tank lid and turn clockwise until it is secured in position.
4. Fit the detachable filter basket into the Portafilter (filter holder), add ground espresso
coffee into the filter using the measuring spoon. A spoon of coffee can make
approximately 1 cup of coffee. Fill the filter with coffee to the desired level marking
depending on cups required (ensuring this aligns with water quantity added).
5. Tamping the ground coffee is now required, distribute the ground coffee evenly in the filter
and press down firmly with the tamping end of the measuring spoon and ensure that it is
level. Clean any excess ground coffee from the rim of the Portafilter (filter holder).
NOTE: The amount of force that is applied to the ground coffee during Tamping, will
directly affect how compacted the coffee is, this in turn affects how the steam passes
through the coffee and the level of extraction. If the ground coffee is lightly compressed,
this will result in reduced extraction and the coffee will be weaker than when compared to
that which has been well compacted, which will result in a stronger flavour. Some trial
and error may be required to obtain your ideal flavour.

6. Place the Portafilter under the brewing head, align the ridges on the Portafilter with the
grooves on the brewing head, then insert the Portafilter into the “INSERT” position and
twist to the right until it is secured centrally (“LOCK” position) (see Fig. 1).
WARNING: Ensure the Portafilter (filter holder) is firmly inserted and secured into the
brewing head before proceeding.
7. Place the carafe centrally on removable shelf below the Portafilter (filter holder).
8. Plug the supply plug into the electrical socket and switch on. Turn the Control knob to the
coffee brewing position ( ) at which point the indicator light will illuminate.
9. The appliance will proceed to heat the water for approximately 2 - 3 minutes. When the
correct steam pressure is reached, coffee will flow into the carafe.
10. After the desired quantity of coffee has been dispensed, you can turn the Control knob to
the position. The indicator light will go out and the coffee will cease to flow from
the brewing head. Your coffee is now ready, you can remove the carafe.
11. Turn the Control knob to the 5(/($6
(
position, which will release the residual steam in
the heating tank.
WARNING: The excess pressure will release and discharge from the steam tube /
frothing device – ensure clear.
12. Before removing Portafilter or opening the tank lid, make sure the pressure in the tank has
been released. As above, this is done by turning the control knob to the
5(/($6(
position, the steam in the tank will eject from the steam pipe / frothing device. After the
pressure has been released, you can remove the water tank lid or remove the Portafilter
from the brew head. Take care as these parts will still hold residual heat. Wait for the parts

to cool down before you handle directly.

13. To remove the Portafilter from the brew head, rotate the handle from the (“LOCK” position)
left to the “INSERT” position until it releases.
14. The used ground coffee residue will need to be removed from the filter. The Portafilter
handle incorporates a ‘filter support lever’. This can be folded from the rest position
towards the filter, which allows retention of the filter within the Portafilter head when
turning upside down to empty. Empty contents and rinse under running water to clean.
Once this process is complete you can fold the ‘filter support lever’ back to the original rest
position.
C. FROTHING MILK / MAKING A CAPPUCCINO or LATTÉ:
1). The first step in making a cappuccino / latté is to make a short espresso (See B. MAKING
ESPRESSO COFFEE).

2). Turn the control knob to the
2))
5(/($6( position to ensure all steam has been released from
the heating tank.
3). Remove the water tank lid by turning it anti-clockwise. Carefully pour the appropriate
amount of water into the tank using the carafe provided (between 120ml and 240ml).
4). Replace the water tank lid and tighten clockwise until it is secured in position.
5). Pour the desired amount of cold (refrigerator temperature) fresh milk (approx. 1⁄3 full) into a
small jug or cup.

Note: In choosing the size of jug, it is recommended that the diameter is not less than 70
±5mm, and bear in mind that the milk increases in volume when heated, so make sure
the height of jug is adequate to contain.
6). Turn the control knob to the steam
position, the power indicator will illuminate and the
water will commence heating, after approximately 2 minutes, steam will discharge from the
frothing device / steam tube.
7). Insert the frothing device into the milk and hold the milk frothing jug at an angle so that the
frothing device sits below the surface of the milk (approximately 1 – 2 cm). Move the milk
around the inside of the milk jug in a circular motion by gently pivoting the jug. When the
desired volume of froth has been achieved, immerse the attachment device deeper into the
milk jug to heat the milk.
When the base of the milk jug becomes too hot to touch, adjust the control switch to the pause
position to cease steam being ejected. Then remove the jug from the frothing device.
Position the frothing device / steam tube so that the discharge will be directed into the drip tray.
8). Turn the steam control knob to
2))
5(/($6( position to release the residual steam from the
heating tank.
NOTE: The optimum milk temperature is 60ºC – 65ºC. A food thermometer could be used to
achieve the correct temperature. If the milk boils, or becomes too hot, the natural sweetness
and texture of the milk will be affected.
9). To avoid residual milk build up ensure frothing device / steam tube is cleaned immediately
after use. The frothing device can be detached from the steam tube for cleaning, by applying
a downward pressure. To ret the frothing device ensure it is securely attached to the steam
wand by inserting it onto the steam wand and
pushing rmly upwards onto the rubber surround.
10). Pour the steamed milk into each cup of freshly brewed espresso coffee and spoon in the
milk froth, in the following ratios:

after every use (refer to care and cleaning).
COFFEE MAKING TIPS
Tips On Making The Perfect Espresso
Don’t just rely on your coffee machine to do all the work. Making a good cup of coffee is an art.
Warming Your Cup Or Glass A warm cup will help maintain the coffee’s optimal temperature.
Preheat your cup by rinsing with hot water.
Pre-drying: Always wipe the lter basket and Portafilter (lter holder) dry before tamping with
ground coffee as moisture can encourage ‘drilling’ - this is when water bypasses the ground
coffee during extraction.
The Grind If using a pre-ground coffee, ensure an espresso grind suitable for espresso/
cappuccino machines is purchased.
If grinding coffee beans, the grind should be fine but not too fine or powdery. The grind will
affect the rate at which the water flows through the coffee in the filter and therefore the taste of
the coffee.
If the grind is too fine (looks like powder and feels like flour when rubbed between fingers), the
water will not flow through the coffee even when under pressure. The resulting coffee will be
over extracted, too dark and bitter, with a mottled and uneven créma on top. If the grind is too
coarse the water will flow through the coffee too quickly. This will result in an under-extracted
coffee lacking in flavor and without the thick créma on the top layer of coffee.
NOTE:
The taste of your coffee will, of course, depend on personal preference and on many other
factors such as:
• Freshness of the coffee bean
• Fineness or coarseness of the grind
• Tamping pressure (pressing down)
• Quantity of the coffee grind in the lter basket
We recommend experimenting by varying these factors to achieve the coffee taste of your
preference.
