SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR YOUR SUNBEAM ESPRESSO
MACHINE
•Always place the unit on a flat, level surface.
•Do not operate without water in reservoir. Fill reservoir with only clean, cold water.
The maximum filling volume is 3 litres.
•Do not remove the filter handle during the espresso pour or water flow as the unit
is under pressure. Removing the filter handle during either of these operations
can lead to scalding or injury.
•The steam wand and hot water tap become very hot during texturing milk and
water flow. This may cause burns in case of contact, therefore avoid any direct
contact with the steam wand or hot water tap.
•Always disconnect the plug from the power outlet prior to cleaning the espresso
machine or if there is any problem during the coffee making process.
•Do not allow the power cord to come into contact with the hot parts of the
espresso machine, including the cup warming plate, hot water tap and steam
wand.
•Do not place hands directly under the steam, hot water or coffee pour as
this can lead to scalding or injury.

Functions of your Café Series™ Twin Thermoblock
Espresso Machine
Twin Pump and Twin Thermoblock - TPTT™
System
Italian designed and manufactured, the machine is
fitted with a 15 BAR pump for the espresso function,
delivering the pressure required for a complete
extraction of oils, coffee solids and aroma. An
additional 4 BAR pump is dedicated to the steam
function, producing instant steam pressure for
texturing milk.
Independent thermoblock heating systems lined
with stainless steel heat the water ensuring the precise temperature is achieved for
each function eliminating waiting time and reducing temperature fluctuations.
TPTT™ System – Simultaneous Use
True to commercial use, the unique TPTT™ System
features twin pumps and twin thermoblocks, this
allows the coffee maker to texture milk and pour an
espresso simultaneously.
Espresso Gauge
The gauge indicates the quality of the espresso pour.
Whilst the needle is within the target area
on the gauge the coffee maker knows that
they have made an excellent serve of
espresso. Should the needle fall below the
target area then it’s an indication to the
coffee maker that the serve of espresso is
under extracted. Should the needle go beyond the target area than it’s an indication
to the coffee maker that the serve of espresso is over extracted.
To achieve an excellent pour of liquid espresso a combination of a fine espresso
grind and the correct amount of coffee packed firmly and evenly in the filter will help
attain this result.

ground coffee.
Commercial Size Group Head & Filter Handle
The group head, filter handle and filters are
designed to commercial specifications using brass
and stainless steel components. These elements
help contribute to the preparation of an espresso
serve, as it allows the coffee maker to pack the
necessary amount of coffee grinds, which then
expand firmly and evenly onto the shower screen.
Control Panel

manual operation or utilising the programmed
espresso pour lengths. The programmed espresso
pour is set to 35mls per cup while the program
function allows users to personalise and save their
own espresso settings.
Pre-Infusion
Pre-infusion is programmed into the ‘MANUAL’, single espresso and double
espresso operations. It is a gradual release of water pressure pre-soaking the coffee
cake before full water pressure is applied. This in turn delivers greater body and
sweetness to the espresso.
Anti Calc Filter
An Anti Calc water filter reduces impurities that taint the flavour and odour of the
water, improving the taste and aroma of the espresso brewed. Additionally, scale
build up is slowed reducing the frequency of cleaning required.
The Anti Calc water filter fitted inside the 3 litre water reservoir has a 12 month life for
domestic use and a 3 month life for commercial use.
