4.1 Grinding Coffee Beans
- Ensure the bean hopper is filled with fresh coffee beans.
- Select your desired grind setting using the dial on the bean hopper (30 settings from fine to coarse). For espresso, a fine grind is recommended.

4.2 Preparing Espresso
- After grinding, use the tamper to press the coffee grounds firmly and evenly into the portafilter.
- Insert the portafilter into the brew head and twist it to lock it securely in place.
- Place your espresso cup(s) on the drip tray directly under the portafilter spouts.
- Select 'Single' or 'Double' espresso on the control panel. The machine will begin extracting espresso.

4.3 Milk Frothing
- Fill the stainless steel milk jug with cold milk (dairy or non-dairy).
- Turn the steam knob to activate the steam wand. Wait for the steam indicator light to stabilize.
- Submerge the steam wand tip just below the surface of the milk in the jug.
- Angle the jug slightly and move it up and down to create microfoam. Continue until the milk reaches your desired temperature and texture.
- Turn off the steam knob and wipe the steam wand immediately with a damp cloth to prevent milk residue from drying.

5. Maintenance & Cleaning
Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and longevity of your espresso machine.
5.1 Daily Cleaning
- Drip Tray: Empty and clean the removable drip tray daily.
