Operating Instructions

1. Grinding Coffee Beans

The integrated Tap & Go grinder provides fresh grounds on demand.

1. Add Beans: Fill the bean hopper with fresh, whole coffee beans.
2. Adjust Grind Size: Rotate the grind size selector on the bean hopper to choose from 30 settings. Finer settings are for espresso, coarser for other brewing methods. Experiment to find your ideal grind.
3. Insert Group Handle: Place the group handle with the desired filter basket (single or double shot) into the grinding cradle.
4. Grind: Push the group handle firmly into the grinding cradle to activate the grinder. Release when the desired amount of coffee is dispensed.

The integrated grinder offers 30 settings for precise control over your coffee grounds.

2. Brewing Espresso

The Temp IQ Shot Control ensures optimal extraction.

1. Tamp Coffee: After grinding, use the tamper to press the coffee grounds firmly and evenly into the filter basket.
2. Insert Group Handle: Insert the group handle into the group head and turn it firmly to the right until it locks into place.
3. Place Cup: Position your espresso cup(s) under the group handle spouts.
4. Select Shot: Press the '1 Shot' or '2 Shot' button for automatic volumetric control. For manual control, press the 'Manual Shot' button to start and press again to stop.
5. Enjoy: Your espresso will begin to extract. Once complete, remove the cup(s).

Temp IQ Shot Control utilizes a 3-way system for fast heat-up, even extraction, and temperature stability.

3. Frothing Milk

Create velvety microfoam for lattes and cappuccinos.

1. Prepare Milk: Fill the stainless steel milk jug with cold milk, up to the bottom of the spout.
2. Purge Steam Wand: Turn the control dial to the 'Steam' position to purge any condensed water from the wand into the drip tray. Turn back to 'Standby'.
3. Position Wand: Insert the steam wand tip just below the surface of the milk.
4. Steam Milk: Turn the control dial to 'Steam'. Lower the jug slightly to introduce air for frothing, then raise it to submerge the tip for heating. Continue until desired temperature and texture are achieved.
5. Clean Wand: Immediately after frothing, wipe the steam wand with a damp cloth and purge briefly to clear any milk residue.

The cool-touch steam wand allows for easy creation of velvety microfoam milk.
