SELECTING THE RIGHT COFFEE

THE COFFEE

The coffee should be freshly ground

and dark roasted. You may want to

try a French or Italian roast ground for

espresso. Pre-ground coffee will only

retain its flavour for 7 – 8 days, provided

it is stored in an airtight container and

in a cool, dark area. Do not store in a

refrigerator or freezer. Whole beans are

recommended to be ground just before

use. Coffee beans stored in an airtight

container will preserve flavour for up to 4

weeks.

THE GRIND

This is a vital step in the espresso making

process if you are grinding your own

coffee. It may require practice. The coffee

must be of a ne grind.

• The correct grind should look like table

salt.

• If the grind is too ne, the water will not

ow through the coffee even under high

pressure. These grinds look like powder

and feel like our when rubbed between

ngers.

• If the grind is too coarse, the water

ows through the coffee too fast,

preventing a full-avored extraction.

Be sure to use a quality grinder for

uniform consistency.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

FILLING THE WATER RESERVOIR

a. Fill the water reservoir with water (see

gure 1). You may use either a pitcher

to ll it up or remove it from the unit

and then ll it up under the tap. Fill

the reservoir with the desired amount

of water below the “MAX” level on

the reservoir. Never use warm or hot

water to ll the water reservoir.

b. Close the water reservoir lid. If you

removed it from the unit to ll up with

water, please make sure to place it

back tightly in its place.

FILLING THE MILK RESERVOIR

If you plan to prepare a cappuccino or

latte, remove the milk reservoir from the

unit by lifting up on the milk reservoir

release button, simultaneously sliding milk

reservoir out (see gure 2). Then, pour the

desired quantity of cold milk you estimate

you will need, making sure it is below the

“MAX” level on the reservoir (see gure 3).

Once nished, slide the milk reservoir back

onto the unit ensuring it ts tightly. You

should feel the milk reservoir lock in place.

NOTE: You can use any type of milk you

prefer, i.e. whole milk, low fat milk, organic

or soy milk

.

CHOOSING THE PORTA-FILTER

Your unit includes one porta-lter for use

with ground coffee and E.S.E. pods.

USING THE PORTA-FILTER FOR

GROUND COFFEE AND E.S.E PODS

CHOOSING THE FILTER

Select the lter to be used as follows:

a. FOR A SINGLE SHOT – use the lter

for a single shot of espresso if using

ground coffee, or if using E.S.E. (Easy

Serving Espresso) pods.

b. FOR A DOUBLE SHOT OR TWO

SINGLE SHOTS – use the lter for a

double shot of espresso. By placing

two small cups underneath the porta-

lter, you may prepare two single

shots of espresso at once.

NOTE: The pod lter included with

your unit has been designed to

work only with E.S.E. (Easy Serving

Espresso) (45 mm) pods.

PLACING THE FILTER ON THE PORTA-

FILTER

1. Insert the lter into the porta-lter,

making sure to align the lter dimple to

the porta-lter notch (see gure 4).

2. Turn the lter to the left or right to lock it in

place (see gure 5).

NOTE: To remove the lter for cleaning, turn

the lter to the left or right to align the lter

dimple to the porta-lter notch and proceed

to remove.

WARNING: Make sure the lter has cooled

down before attempting to remove it from

the porta-lter.

SECURING THE FILTER WHEN

EMPTYING THE PORTA-FILTER

When you have nished brewing your coffee

ip the tab located in the handle to hook

over the edge of the lter, lock in place when

knocking out the ‘cake’ of coffee. Flip the tab

back ( ) in the handle and remove the lter

for cleaning. DO NOT have the tab in the

locked position when attaching the porta-

lter to the brew head.
