Product Overview

This image shows the complete Gemilai G3006 bundle, featuring both the espresso machine and the electric coffee grinder, highlighting their sleek design and compact form factor.

G3006 Espresso Machine

The G3006 Espresso Machine is designed for precise coffee extraction. It features a robust 1500W heating system with PTC heating elements and PID temperature control for consistent brewing temperatures. The front panel includes a digital display for temperature and a pressure gauge to monitor extraction. It is equipped with a 58mm group head and a professional portafilter for optimal espresso shots.

This image highlights the internal components responsible for temperature stability: the PTC heating element and PID temperature control system. These technologies work together to minimize temperature loss during brewing, ensuring a stable and precise extraction temperature for every shot.

The G3006 offers adjustable brewing parameters including temperature (176-215°F), pre-infusion time (0-30s), and brewing time (10-120s). These settings are visible on the digital display, allowing users to fine-tune their espresso extraction for desired results.

The G3006 features an updated steam system with a side-mounted steam handle for easy control, an extended universal steam wand for adaptable frothing angles, and a 2-hole steam nozzle designed to produce a moderate amount of steam for optimal milk texturing.

Electric Coffee Grinder

The accompanying electric coffee grinder features a user-friendly dual-mode touchscreen. Users can switch between Timed Mode (adjustable from 5-60 seconds) and Manual Mode by long-pressing the control button. This allows for precise control over grind duration.

Equipped with 38mm stainless steel conical burrs, the grinder offers 60 micro-adjustments for grind size. This wide range allows for precise tailoring of grind fineness, suitable for various brewing methods from fine espresso (settings 3-6) to coarse cold brew (setting 12), as well as Mocha Pot, French Press, and Pour Over.

This diagram illustrates the practical and aesthetic design of the Gemilai coffee grinder, detailing its key components. These include the Magnet Hopper Lid, an 80g Single-Dose Hopper, Detachable Grinding Burrs (specifically 38mm Conical Burrs), a Rotary Adjustment Disk for grind size, Sloped Powder Pouring for efficient dispensing, a Filter Holder, the Touch Screen Display, and a Non-Slip Foot for stability.

The grinder's 38mm conical burrs are made from SUS420 Stainless Steel, ensuring durability and consistent grinding. Powered by a 120V DC motor with 150W power, the burrs operate at 430rpm, contributing to uniform grinding and rich flavor extraction.

Setup

Espresso Machine Setup

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Retain packaging for future storage or transport.
2. Placement: Place the espresso machine on a stable, flat, heat-resistant surface, away from water sources and direct sunlight. Ensure adequate ventilation around the unit.
3. Water Tank Installation:
   

   Locate the water tank at the back of the machine. Remove it, fill with fresh, filtered water up to the MAX line, and securely place it back into its position. Ensure the tank is properly seated to prevent leaks.

4. Steam Handle Installation: If not pre-installed, attach the steam handle securely to the designated port on the side of the machine.
5. Initial Rinse Cycle: Before first use, perform a rinse cycle. Fill the water tank, place a large container under the group head and steam wand. Turn on the machine and run hot water through both the group head and steam wand until the water tank is nearly empty. This cleans the internal components.

Coffee Grinder Setup

1. Placement: Place the grinder on a stable, dry surface.
2. Hopper Assembly: Ensure the 80g single-dose hopper and magnet hopper lid are correctly assembled and seated on top of the grinder.
3. Power Connection: Plug the grinder into a suitable power outlet.

Operating Instructions

Grinding Coffee Beans

1. Add Beans: Open the hopper lid and add fresh coffee beans. The 80g single-dose hopper is ideal for precise measurements.
2. Select Grind Size: Rotate the adjustment disk to select your desired grind size. Refer to the "60 Scale Grind Setting" image in the Product Overview section for guidance (e.g., 3-6 for espresso).
3. Select Grinding Mode: Use the touchscreen display to select either Timed Mode or Manual Mode.
   

   The grinder's touchscreen allows you to choose between Timed Mode (adjustable from 5 to 60 seconds) or Manual Mode. Long press the button to switch between these modes. Adjust the time in Timed Mode using the up/down arrows.

4. Grind: Place your portafilter or container under the dispensing chute. Press the start button to begin grinding. The grinder will stop automatically in Timed Mode or when you press the button again in Manual Mode.

Brewing Espresso

1. Prepare Portafilter: Insert the appropriate filter basket into the 58mm portafilter. Fill the basket with freshly ground coffee.
2. Tamp Coffee: Use the provided tamper to press the coffee grounds firmly and evenly into the filter basket. Ensure a level and consistent puck.
3. Insert Portafilter: Securely insert the portafilter into the group head of the espresso machine.
4. Adjust Settings (Optional): On the machine's digital display, you can adjust the brewing temperature, pre-infusion time, and brewing time if desired.
   

   The machine's display allows for precise control over brewing temperature (176-215°F), pre-infusion time (0-30 seconds), and brewing time (10-120 seconds). Adjust these settings using the controls next to the display.
5. Start Extraction: Place your espresso cup(s) under the portafilter spouts. Press the brew button to begin extraction. Monitor the pressure gauge for optimal brewing pressure.
   

   This image shows the espresso machine actively extracting coffee into a glass. Observe the flow and color of the espresso for proper extraction. The pressure gauge on the machine provides real-time feedback on brewing pressure.

6. Stop Extraction: Press the brew button again to stop the extraction once the desired volume is reached.

Milk Frothing

1. Prepare Milk: Fill a stainless steel milk pitcher with cold milk (dairy or non-dairy) to just below the spout.
2. Activate Steam: Turn the steam handle to activate the steam wand. Purge any condensed water from the wand into a discard cup.
3. Froth Milk: Immerse the 2-hole steam nozzle just below the surface of the milk. Angle the pitcher slightly to create a vortex. Steam the milk until it reaches the desired temperature and texture.
   

   This image demonstrates the milk frothing process using the G3006's steam wand. The extended universal steam wand and 2-hole nozzle allow for effective milk texturing for lattes and cappuccinos. Ensure the nozzle is submerged correctly to create fine microfoam.
4. Clean Steam Wand: Immediately after frothing, wipe the steam wand with a damp cloth and purge a small amount of steam to clear any milk residue from the nozzle.
