Operating Instructions

Brewing Espresso

1. Grind Beans: Use the included electric coffee grinder to grind your favorite coffee beans. For espresso, a fine grind is recommended, but not too powdery.

2. Fill Portafilter: Place the appropriate single or double shot basket into the portafilter. Fill with ground coffee.
3. Tamp Grounds: Use the measuring spoon/tamper to firmly tamp the coffee grounds into the portafilter. Ensure the surface is level.

4. Lock Portafilter: Insert the portafilter into the group head of the machine and twist firmly to lock it into place.

Making Lattes and Cappuccinos

1. Fill Milk Reservoir: Fill the detachable milk reservoir with cold milk (dairy or non-dairy). Securely attach it to the machine.

2. Adjust Froth Level: Turn the dial on the milk reservoir to your desired froth setting (Latte, Cappuccino, or Milk).

3. Froth Milk: Place your cup (with espresso already brewed, if desired) under the milk frother spout. Press the "MILK FROTH" button. The machine will heat and froth the milk directly into your cup.

Maintenance

Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your EspressoWorks machine.

Daily Cleaning

• Drip Tray: Empty and rinse the drip tray after each use or when the indicator shows it's full.
• Milk Reservoir: After frothing milk, detach the milk reservoir and empty any remaining milk. Rinse thoroughly with warm water. The machine also has a "CLEAN" button for the milk frother system; press this after each milk frothing session.
• Portafilter: Remove used coffee grounds and rinse the portafilter and basket under warm water.
• Exterior: Wipe down the exterior of the machine with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners.

Descaling (Monthly or as needed)

Descaling removes mineral buildup that can affect machine performance and coffee taste. The frequency depends on water hardness and usage.

1. Empty the water tank and fill it with a descaling solution mixed according to the descaler manufacturer's instructions, or use a mixture of white vinegar and water (1:1 ratio).
2. Place a large container under the coffee spout and milk frother.
3. Run several cycles of water through both the coffee brewing system (using the "SINGLE" or "DOUBLE" button without coffee) and the milk frother system (using the "MILK FROTH" button).
4. After the tank is empty, rinse it thoroughly and refill with fresh water. Run several more cycles to rinse out any descaling solution residue.
