Grinding Coffee

The built-in conical burr grinder offers 6 levels of adjustment for optimal flavor.

The grinder allows for 6 levels of adjustment, from fine to coarse, to suit various coffee types.

• Adjust Grind Level: Rotate the grinder adjustment dial to select your desired fineness (1-10 for Fine, 10-20 for Medium, 20-30 for Coarse).
• Grind into Portafilter: Place the portafilter under the grinder outlet. Use the touch screen to initiate grinding.
• Tamping: Use the assisted tamper to apply consistent pressure to the ground coffee in the portafilter, creating a level and compact puck.

Espresso Extraction

The machine features a 20-bar Italian pump and PID control for precise extraction.

The pre-soaking function ensures full flavor extraction by saturating coffee grounds before high-pressure brewing.

1. Insert Portafilter: Securely insert the prepared portafilter into the brew head.
2. Select Brew: Choose your desired brew setting (single or double espresso) on the LED touch screen.
3. Start Extraction: Press the brew button to begin the extraction process. The machine will pre-soak the coffee grounds before applying 20 bars of pressure.
4. Monitor: Observe the extraction time and volume on the LED screen.

Milk Frothing (Steam Wand)

Create silky microfoam for lattes and cappuccinos using the integrated steam wand.

The built-in steam wand allows for manual milk frothing to create various coffee beverages.

1. Prepare Milk: Fill a stainless steel frothing pitcher with cold milk (dairy or non-dairy).
2. Activate Steam: Turn the steam knob or select the steam function on the touch screen. Wait for the steam wand to reach optimal temperature.
3. Froth Milk: Submerge the tip of the steam wand just below the surface of the milk. Angle the pitcher to create a vortex. Once desired texture and temperature are reached, turn off the steam.
4. Clean Wand: Immediately wipe the steam wand with a damp cloth and purge a small amount of steam to clear any milk residue.

Hot & Cold Brew Options

In addition to espresso, the machine can prepare drip coffee and cold brew.

• Drip Coffee: Select the drip coffee option on the LED touch screen. Ensure appropriate grind size and water volume are set.
• Cold Brew: Select the cold brew option. This function typically involves a longer extraction time at a lower temperature.
