Operating Instructions

1. Grinding Coffee Beans

2. Wipe any excess grounds from the rim of the portafilter.

4. Place your espresso cup(s) on the drip tray directly under the portafilter spouts.
5. Press the 'SINGLE' or 'DOUBLE' button to begin the espresso extraction. The machine will automatically stop when the desired volume is reached.

3. Frothing Milk

1. Fill the milk jug with cold milk (dairy or non-dairy) up to the recommended level.
2. Position the steam wand into the milk, just below the surface.
3. Turn the control knob to the steam icon. Allow a few seconds for the steam to build pressure.
4. Lower the jug slightly to introduce air for frothing, then submerge the wand deeper to heat the milk. Continue until the desired temperature and texture are achieved.
5. Turn the control knob back to the standby position to stop steaming. Immediately wipe the steam wand with a damp cloth to prevent milk residue from drying.
