- Fill Portafilter: Fill the portafilter with the ground coffee and tamp evenly.
- Attach Portafilter: Securely attach the portafilter to the brewing head.
- Brew: Select the desired coffee volume using the electronic buttons on the panel. The machine uses water flow to set the amount of coffee.

- Prepare Milk: Fill a stainless steel frothing pitcher with cold milk, typically to just below the spout.
- Activate Steam: Turn the steam knob to activate the steam wand. Purge any water from the wand into the drip tray.
- Froth Milk: Immerse the steam wand tip just below the surface of the milk. Angle the pitcher to create a vortex. Heat and froth the milk until it reaches the desired temperature and texture.
- Clean Wand: Immediately after frothing, wipe the steam wand with a damp cloth and purge steam briefly to clear any milk residue.
