1 CUP 2 CUP
Use the 1 cup lter basket when brewing
a single cup and the 2 cup lter baskets
when brewing 2 cups or a stronger single
cup or mug.
The provided lter baskets are designed for:
1 Cup lter basket = 8-10g.
2 Cup lter basket = 16-19g
COFFEE DOSE AND TAMPING
• Insert the lter basket into the portalter.
• Grind enough coee to ll the lter basket.
• Tap the portalter several times to collapse and
distribute the coee evenly in the lter basket.
• Using the tamper, tamp down rmly (approx.
15-20kgs of pressure). The amount of
pressure is not as important as the consistent
pressure every time.
• As a guide, the top edge of the cap on the
tamper should be level with the top of the lter
basket AFTER the coee has been tamped.
NOTE
Use Razor™ dose trimming tool to
precisely control the dose of ground coee
AFTER you tamp.
TRIMMING THE DOSE
The Razor™ precision dose trimming tool allows
you to trim the puck to the right level for a consistent
extraction.
the Razor™
Precision dose trimming tool
• Insert the Razor™ tool into the coee basket
until the shoulders of the tool rest on the rim of
the basket.
• Rotate the Razor™ dosing tool back and forth
while holding the portalter on an angle over
the knock box to trim o excess coee grinds.
Your coee lter is now dosed with the correct
amount of coee.

MANUAL MILK TEXTURING
• Auto milk texturing and auto shut-o are
disabled during manual milk texturing.
• Fill the milk jug to between the MIN and
MAX markings.
• Lift the steam wand and insert into the milk
jug with the steam wand tip 1-2cm below the
surface of the milk, close to the right-hand
side of the jug at a 3 o’clock position.
• Press the STEAM button to begin texturing.
2s

• Keep the steam wand tip just under the
surface of the milk until the milk is spinning
clockwise, producing a vortex (whirlpool eect).
• With the milk spinning, slowly lower the jug.
This will bring the steam wand tip to the
surface of the milk and start to introduce air
into the milk.
• Gently break the surface of the milk with the
tip to get the milk spinning fast enough.
• Keep the steam wand tip at or slightly below
the surface, continuing to maintain the vortex.
Texture the milk until sucient volume
is obtained.
• Lift the jug to lower the tip beneath the
surface but keep the vortex spinning.The milk
is at the correct temperature (60-65°C) when
the jug is hot to touch.
• When texturing is complete, press the
STEAM button.
• Remove the steam wand from the milk jug.
• Wipe the wand and tip with a
clean damp cloth.
• Lower the steam wand to the down position
and the steam wand will automatically purge.
STEAM WAND PURGING
After texturing milk, the steam wand must be
returned to the lowered position and allowed to
automatically purge. Not doing so, could result
in the steam wand blocking.
If the steam wand remains in the raised position,
the machine will display a lower steam wand
alert; illuminating the MILK TEMP and MILK
FOAM lights in a downwards pattern, identifying
that the steam wand needs to be lowered.
To manually commence the steam wand purge,
with the steam wand lowered, press and hold
the STEAM button for 5 seconds.

EXTRACTION TIPS
A great espresso is about achieving the perfect balance between sweetness, acidity, and bitterness.
The avour of your coee will depend on many factors, such as the type of coee beans, degree of roast
freshness, coarseness or neness of the grind, dose of ground coee and tamping pressure.
Experiment by adjusting these factors just one at a time to achieve the taste of your preference.

CLEANING THE FILTER BASKETS
AND PORTAFILTER
• The lter baskets and portalter should be
rinsed under hot water directly after use to
remove all residual coee oils.
• If the holes in the lter baskets become
blocked, use the steam wand cleaning tool
to unblock the holes.
CLEANING THE SHOWER SCREEN
• The group head interior and shower screen
should be wiped with a damp cloth to remove
any ground coee particles.
• Periodically run hot water through the
machine with the lter basket and portalter
in place, without any ground coee, to rinse
out any residual coee.
CLEANING THE DRIP TRAY
• The drip tray should be removed, emptied
and cleaned after each use or when the drip
tray indicator rises through the drip tray grid.
• Remove the drip tray grid and wash both
parts in warm soapy water.
• Cleaning the Outer Housing
• Wipe the outer housing with a soft, damp cloth
