Operating Instructions
Making Espresso
- Pre-heat: Turn on the machine using the mechanical knob. Allow the machine to pre-heat for a few minutes until the indicator light signals it's ready for brewing.
- Prepare Portafilter: Add desired amount of finely ground espresso coffee into the filter basket. Tamp the coffee evenly and firmly. Wipe any excess grounds from the rim of the portafilter.
- Attach Portafilter: Insert the portafilter into the brewing head and twist it firmly to the right until it is securely locked in place.
- Place Cups: Place one or two espresso cups on the drip tray directly under the coffee outlets. You can pre-warm your cups on the stainless steel warm cup area.
- Brew Espresso:Press the one-button start on the touch electronic panel. The machine will begin extracting espresso. You can adjust coffee strength and set the number of brewing cups using the respective buttons. If you do not stop it manually, it will stop automatically in 2 minutes. If you add coffee halfway, you need to stop it manually.

- Serve: Once brewing is complete, remove the cups and enjoy your espresso.
Frothing Milk
Use the steam wand to create frothed milk for cappuccinos and lattes.
- Prepare Milk: Fill a stainless steel frothing pitcher with cold milk (dairy or non-dairy) to just below the spout.
- Activate Steam: Turn the mechanical knob to the steam setting. Wait for the steam indicator light to illuminate, indicating the machine has reached the correct temperature for steaming.
- Purge Steam Wand: Briefly open the steam valve to release any condensed water from the wand into the drip tray. Close the valve.
- Froth Milk: Immerse the tip of the steam wand just below the surface of the milk. Open the steam valve slowly. Move the pitcher up and down to incorporate air and create foam. Once desired foam consistency and temperature are reached, close the steam valve.

- Clean Steam Wand: Immediately after frothing, wipe the steam wand with a damp cloth to remove any milk residue. Briefly open the steam valve again to clear any milk from inside the wand.
Maintenance and Cleaning
Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and longevity of your espresso machine.
- Daily Cleaning:
