1. Ensure the bean hopper is filled with fresh coffee beans.

3. Place the portafilter under the grinder outlet.
4. Press the "Grind" button on the control panel to start grinding. The machine will automatically dispense the set amount of ground coffee into the portafilter.
5. Tamp the ground coffee evenly and firmly using the provided tamper.

1. After grinding and tamping, securely attach the portafilter to the brewing head.
2. Place your espresso cup(s) on the drip tray beneath the portafilter.
3. Select your desired shot size (single or double) on the control panel. The machine will pre-infuse the coffee at low pressure before applying 20-bar high pressure for extraction.
4. The digital display will show the brewing temperature (92°C ± 1°C) and time.
5. The machine will automatically stop when the brewing cycle is complete.
6. Intelligent Memory Function: The machine can store custom recipes. To save a preferred setting, press and hold the desired shot button until the machine enters programming mode, then brew your custom shot. The machine will remember this setting for future use.

6.3. Milk Frothing

Figure 6.3: Milk Frothing. This image shows the integrated steam wand actively frothing milk in a pitcher, demonstrating its capability for creating latte-quality milk foam.

1. Fill a milk frothing pitcher with cold milk (dairy or non-dairy).
2. Position the steam wand into the milk, just below the surface.
3. Activate the steam function using the dedicated control.
4. Lower the pitcher slightly to introduce air for frothing, then submerge the wand deeper to heat the milk.
5. Continue until the milk reaches the desired temperature and texture.
6. Turn off the steam function. Immediately wipe the steam wand with a damp cloth to prevent milk residue from drying.
