Setup Guide

Follow these steps to set up your espresso maker for the first time:

Unpack: Carefully remove all packaging materials and accessories.
Clean: Wash the water tank, portafilter, filter baskets, and milk frothing pitcher with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry.
Position: Place the machine on a stable, flat, heat-resistant surface, away from walls and heat sources.
Fill Water Tank: Remove the water tank from the back of the machine, fill it with fresh, cold water up to the MAX line, and place it back securely.
Add Coffee Beans: Open the lid of the bean hopper and pour fresh whole coffee beans into the hopper. Close the lid.
Initial Rinse: Before first use, perform an initial rinse cycle without coffee to prime the system. Turn on the machine, allow it to heat up, then run a hot water cycle through the portafilter and steam wand.

Operating Instructions

Learn how to brew your favorite coffee beverages:

1. Grinding Coffee Beans

Ensure the bean hopper is filled with fresh coffee beans.
Select your desired grind amount using the "GRIND AMOUNT" dial (Less for finer, More for coarser).
Place the portafilter with the appropriate filter basket (single or double) under the grinder outlet.
Press the "GRIND" button to start grinding. The machine will automatically stop when the selected amount is dispensed.
Use the included tamper to gently press down the coffee grounds in the portafilter.

2. Brewing Espresso

After grinding and tamping, securely insert the portafilter into the brew head by twisting it to the right until it locks into place.
Place your espresso cup(s) on the drip tray directly under the portafilter spouts.
Once the machine is heated (indicator lights are solid), press the "SINGLE SHOT" or "DOUBLE SHOT" button.
The machine will automatically brew the espresso and stop. The pressure gauge will indicate optimal brewing pressure.

3. Frothing Milk (for Lattes & Cappuccinos)

Fill the milk frothing pitcher with cold milk (dairy or non-dairy) to just below the spout.
Position the steam wand into the milk, just below the surface.
Press the "STEAM" button. Once the steam light is solid, turn the steam control knob on the side of the machine to release steam.
Move the pitcher up and down to create foam. When desired texture and temperature are reached, turn off the steam control knob and then press the "STEAM" button again.
Immediately wipe the steam wand with a damp cloth to prevent milk residue from drying.

4. Hot Water Dispensing

Place a cup under the hot water outlet.
Press the "HOT WATER" button. The machine will dispense hot water. Press again to stop.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and longevity of your espresso maker.

Daily Cleaning:
- Empty and clean the drip tray and grid.
- Remove and clean the portafilter and filter basket after each use.
- Wipe down the exterior of the machine with a damp cloth.
- Clean the steam wand immediately after frothing milk.
Water Tank: Clean the water tank weekly with mild detergent and rinse thoroughly.
Descaling: Descale the machine every 2-3 months, or more frequently with hard water, using a commercial descaling solution designed for espresso machines. Follow the descaling solution's instructions carefully.
Grinder Cleaning: Periodically clean the burr grinder to remove coffee oil buildup. Refer to the detailed instructions in the full manual for specific steps.
