2. Brewing Espresso

1. Ensure the water tank is filled and the bean hopper contains fresh beans.
2. Select the desired filter basket (single or double shot) and place it into the portafilter.
3. Place the portafilter under the grinder outlet and activate the grinding function. The machine will dispense the appropriate amount of ground coffee.
4. Tamp the ground coffee firmly and evenly using the included tamper.
5. Insert the portafilter into the group head and lock it into place by rotating it to the right.
6. Place your cup(s) on the drip tray.
7. Select your desired coffee variety (e.g., Espresso, Americano) from the control panel. The machine will initiate low-pressure pre-brewing followed by 15-bar extraction.
8. Monitor the pressure dial during extraction for optimal results.

Figure 8: 15 Bar pressure ensures high-pressure extraction, resulting in aromatic, rich coffee with a perfect crema, avoiding sour or bitter tastes from inadequate or excessive pressure.

3. Milk Frothing

The powerful 360° rotating steam wand creates smooth and delicate milk foam for lattes, cappuccinos, and other milk-based beverages.

1. Fill the milk pitcher with cold milk (dairy or non-dairy).
2. Position the steam wand just below the surface of the milk.
3. Activate the steam function. Move the pitcher up and down to incorporate air and create foam.
4. Once desired foam consistency is achieved, turn off the steam.
5. Wipe the steam wand immediately with a damp cloth to prevent milk residue from drying.
