Operating Instructions

1. Grinding Coffee Beans

1. Select Grind Size: Adjust the grind size selector on the side of the machine to your desired setting (1-15, from fine to coarse). For espresso, a fine grind is typically recommended.

3. Grind: Place the portafilter under the grinder outlet. You can either press the "GRIND" button on the control panel or push the portafilter into the grinder to activate the "tap and go" feature. The grinder will dispense fresh grounds into the portafilter.

3. Frothing Milk

1. Prepare Steam Wand: Ensure the steam wand is clean. Fill the frothing pitcher with cold milk (dairy or non-dairy).
2. Activate Steam: Press the "STEAM" button on the control panel. Wait approximately 1 minute for the machine to reach optimal steaming temperature and pressure.
3. Froth Milk: Submerge the tip of the steam wand just below the surface of the milk in the pitcher. Open the steam valve slowly to release steam. Move the pitcher up and down to create micro-foam.
