Operating Instructions
The Aurelia WAVE Semi Automatic machine requires manual control for espresso extraction, allowing for precise barista interaction.
Espresso Extraction
- Prepare Portafilter: Grind fresh coffee beans and dose the appropriate amount into the portafilter basket. Tamp evenly.
- Insert Portafilter: Securely insert the portafilter into the group head.

- Remove Portafilter: Carefully remove the portafilter and discard the spent coffee grounds.
Steaming Milk (Cool Touch Steam Wands)
- Purge Steam Wand: Briefly open the steam valve to purge any condensed water from the wand.
- Position Wand: Immerse the tip of the cool-touch steam wand just below the surface of the milk in a pitcher.
- Open Steam Valve: Fully open the steam valve using the "Push Pull Steam" mechanism.
- Texture Milk: Hold the pitcher steady, allowing the steam to create a vortex and texture the milk.
- Monitor Temperature: Continue steaming until the desired milk temperature is reached (typically 140-150°F / 60-65°C).
- Close Steam Valve: Close the steam valve completely.
- Clean Wand: Immediately wipe the steam wand with a damp cloth to remove any milk residue and purge again to clear the tip.
Hot Water Dispensing
To dispense hot water, position a cup under the hot water spout and activate the hot water button or lever. Close it once the desired amount is dispensed.
