3. More Details

Thermoblock Fast Heating System

• The thermoblock ensures quick heat up, and a precise water temperature for the best coffee extraction, and milk frothing.
• The thermoblock is fitted with a PID controller which continually monitors the water temperature to ensure water is always delivered to the coffee grinds at the precise temperature needed.
• An espresso is made with hot rather than boiling water. The thermoblock heats the water so that the espresso extracts at 198°F (just below boiling point) for optimum extraction of oils from the coffee grinds. Temperatures above this will burn the grinds resulting in a bitter taste.

20 BAR Pump

The thermoblock works in conjunction with the pump to deliver the correct water temperature at the correct pressure for complete extraction of oils, coffee solids and aroma.

Pre-Infusion

Small amounts of water are released onto the tamped coffee grinds prior to the steady flow of water, for a richer flavored espresso.

Auto Shot Volumetric Control

• Auto Shot is the easiest way to create a great espresso. Just Press the Single/short cup button or Double/long cup button to pour right amount, then automatically stops.
• All Extraction Buttons can be customised to deliver the shot volumes preferred.

Espresso Pressure Gauge

Monitors espresso extraction pressure and allows you to make espresso to better suit your taste.

Crema System

• Grinding fresh whole coffee beans by use Single Wall filter baskets.
• Single Wall filter baskets allow you to experiment with grind, dose and tamp to create a more balanced espresso.

Professional Style Steam Wand

Stainless steel 360° swivel-action Steam wand for effortless milk frothing.

INSTANT HOT WATER

Use for long black coffee, hot drinks such as tea, instant soups and to warm cups prior to making espresso.

Cafe 51mm Group Head & Portafilter

• The 51mm Portafilter holds more coffee grinds, resulting in a true café tasting coffee. The wider size ensures the grinds are more evenly spread and easier to fill, for improved flavor extraction.
• The 51mm Filter Baskets allow a more consistent grind compaction, resulting in a better tasting coffee, and an easier to empty used espresso pucks.

5.1 Brief Introduction

Single/short cup button. Press Single/short cup button to start then it automatically stops. Double/long cup button. Press Double/long cup button to start then it automatically stops.

5.2 Tips for Making the Perfect Cup

1. Extraction Time

Espresso around 30ml/cup. Extraction time is a good indicator of the quality of the pour. The optimum time per shot varies between types & freshness of coffee beans. However, in general, the pour time should be between 20-30 seconds for both One & Two Cup shots.

2. Type of Extraction

Optimum Extraction

A quality pour has a steady flow with a consistency similar to that of warm honey. The resulting crema is dark golden. The sweetest flavours & oils have been extracted creating a rich tasting espresso.

Under Extraction

The pour is fast & light in colour, the resulting crema is thin with a creamy light brown colour which quickly dissipates. This occurs when too little of the essential oils, flavours & colours from the coffee grinds have been extracted. This creates a sour tasting espresso.

Over Extraction

There may be no pour, or it may be slow & drip throughout the entire pour. The resulting crema is very dark. This occurs when too much of the essential oils, flavours & colours from the coffee grinds have been extracted. This creates a bitter tasting espresso.

3. Look for Colour Change

The optimum shot contains 3 elements:

• Heart: At the base-starts out dark brown.
• Body: Blends with the heart-becomes a rich caramel with reddish reflections.
• Crema: The layer on top of the body-dark golden.

4. Grinds

You may need to vary the coffee grind size when using different beans.

❗ IMPORTANT Ensure beans or pre-ground grinds are fresh. Old pre-ground grinds and old beans, no matter the grind size, will not produce a good tasting espresso.

5. Grind Dosage

For best results, grind dosage should remain consistent:

• One Cup: 7g - about 1 Tbsp.
• Two Cups: 14g - about 2 Tbsp.

? NOTE A spoon of flat coffee powder is approximately equal to 7g. Collect the coffee powder with the spoon and shake it gently to make the surface flat, the amount of coffee powder is around 7g. One spoon coffee powder (7g) can make one cup of top-grade coffee, while two spoons (14g) is two cups of top-grade coffee.

6. Tamp Force

For best results, evenly tamp (press) grinds to the level indicated.

? NOTE Use the single cup filter basket when brewing a single cup and the double cup filter basket when brewing two cups or a stronger single cup or mug.

? NOTE When using pre-ground bagged grinds, try using a 2 step dose & tamp method: Dose in half the grinds then tamp & repeat.

? NOTE Isolating changes to Grind Size & Tamp Force will assist in producing a consistent taste every time.

? NOTE Tamp the coffee powder gently below the the MAX line of portafilter. Don't tamped the coffee powder too firmly.

7. Filter Baskets

Single Wall Filter Baskets Use Single Wall filter baskets if grinding fresh whole coffee beans. Single Wall filter baskets allow you to experiment with grind, dose and tamp to create a more balanced espresso.

8. Extraction Guide

There are extraction variations from bean to bean, and everyone's taste is different. Use the below as a guide to improve your espresso technique, so it's just right for you.

AFTER EXTRACTION

Remove used grinds: Used grinds will form a coffee 'puck'. Rinse filter basket keep the filter basket clean to prevent blockages. Without ground coffee in the filter basket, lock the Portafilter into the machine and run hot water through.

SOLUTIONS

Adjust & retest: Grind size finer Increase powder amount. Tamp using too heavy of pressure. The top edge of metal cap on the tamper should be level with the top of the filter basket AFTER tamping.

SOLUTIONS

Adjust & retest: Grind size coarser Decrease powder amount. Tamp using too light of pressure. The top edge of metal cap on the tamper should be level with the top of the filter basket AFTER tamping.

9. Shot Volume Programming

The features Auto Shot Volumetric Control extracts just the right amount of espresso then automatically stops. Possible setting range for different brew final dose: ONE CUP Espresso = 25-60mL. TWO CUP Espresso = 50-130mL. At any point during espresso extraction, you can stop the pour by pressing the same button again.

Preparing for Shot Programming

Step 1 - Check Water tank. Ensure there is enough water in the tank.(NOT exceed the MAX line).

? TIPS For best espresso results, use filtered water & freshly roasted coffee beans.

5.3 Operation

1. Check Water

Fill water into the water tank NOT exceed the MAX line. Set up the water tank vertically and align the bucklesto the hole on the back of the machine, and press it down to be parallel to the top of the machine.

? TIPS For best espresso results, use filtered water & freshly roasted coffee beans. As with NTC precision thermostats, the espresso extraction temperature is controlled at 197°, while the milk frothing temperature is at 212°F.

? NOTE Before insert the refill water tank, use the clean cloth to wipe off the water on the valve. If the temperature is too high to make espresso, the steam will splash from the portafilter and hot water will drip off. It will result in a small amount of coffee and a bad taste. When the water tank is pulled up, the water will flow out from the outlet at the bottom of the water tank, as it is a movable part. If you have pulled up several times and have not wipe the water immediately, it will accumulate more and more and ran to the bottom of the machine, maybe will leave the table full of water. It's not leaking.

2. Start Up

Insert the Power Plug. Press ON/OFF button to turn on, Power Light will illuminate & pulse = heating up. LIGHTS all fully illuminated = Espresso Machine ready to use.

3. Prep Milk Jug

Before making espresso, make sure the knob on the horizontal position (off-position). Make sure the froth nozzle is clean and not blocking.

4. Select Filter Baskets

Select either: Single-cup filter Basket. Double-cup filter Basket. Place a filter basket inside the portafilter,make sure the tube on the Filter Baskets aligns with groove in the portafilter, then press down the filter basket firmly to portafilter.

5. Dose & Tamp

Dose the Filter Basket with grinds.

? TIPS One spoon of fine grounds for single cup filter. Two spoons of fine grounds for double cups filter.

Evenly tamp (press) grinds to level indicated.

? TIPS To avoid leaking, coffee powder should be tamped BELOW the MAX line of portafilter.

? NOTE Do not press grounds with too much force. Use the tamper lightly to avoid clogging your machine. If grounds are too tightly packed, the water cannot flow through the portafilter and may cause blockage or leakage.

6. Wipe Excess Grinds

Wipe away any excess grinds to clear edges.

7. Insert Portafilter

Keep the portafilter faced up, then installed in parallel to the machine from 'Insert' to 'Lock" inplaced, Portafilter should be in the center position.Otherwise the coffee will splash and leak from the gap of the connection position.

? TIPS Place a warm cup on the drip tray. If the cup is tall you can remove the drip tray cover and put the cup into the drip tray.

8. Insert Portafilter

Empty hot water from cup. Position cup on Drip Tray, under Portafilter.

? TIPS The portafilter should be removed after a while as the machineneed to relieve the pressure. Otherwise, the steam will splash out because of the strong pressure. Please remove in parallel. Because high pressure, the water will fully penetrate into the coffee powder, it takes time for water to pass through and flow out of the coffee powder. So it is normal that the excess coffee will drip off.

? NOTE When the machine starts to work, there will be some noise out from the machine as it is pumping the water with a high pressure. While during operation, if there is suddenly a loud noise and all four lights are blink blue light at the same time from the machine, which may due to the water in the water tank is not enough for pumping. If so, please pay attention to the water volume and add water in time.

9. Espresso Extraction

Press either Single/short cup button or Double/long cup button to start the espresso pour. Extraction begins and will automatically stop.Now Crema is golden brown with a fine mousse texture.

10. Remove Coffee Cake

Wait 20 seconds to remove the portafilter from the Group Head after pouring to avoid any splashing or water discharge. Remove spent (used) coffee cake from Portafilter. Wipe the powder outlet with a damp cloth. Wash parts with warm water. Check if the Drip Tray needs emptying.

6. Make Milk Foam Guide

6.1 Brief Introduction

Milk frothing is the steaming of milk. Key Elements of Textured Milk The steam only heats the milk. The milk also needs to be aerated (add air) to create the micro-foam, and needs to be blended well together. Milk that has been frothed correctly has been heated to between 140-149°F, and has a thick, rich micro-foam with a silky sheen. It's all about the temperature, positioning of the Steam Wand and when you move the Milk Jug.

6.2 Tips for Milk Frothing

General Tips for making good milk foaming:

1. Correct Temperture. Press the Steam button when the machine is ready When the steam button keeps white light fixed, the steam can be used.

? TIPS For better taste, we suggest releasing the water before frothing milk.

2. Using correct temperature milk (41~45°F). 3. Using correct amount milk (100-150ml). 4. Using correct size pitcher (around 350mL). 5. Using the correct frothing way (show as below).

Detailed Tips for making good milk foaming:

1. Fill Milk Jug

Add 100-150mL of cold milk around 4°C(40°F) into a chilled clean stainless steel Milk Jug. Fill to the bottom of the Milk Jug spout.

? NOTE The volume of milk will increase or 'stretch' during frothing, so don't overfill the Milk Jug.

2. Steam Warm Up

Press the steam button when the machine is ready and it starts to blink white light slowly. The steam button stops blinking and keeps white light fixed. It means the heating for steam is finished.

? NOTE For best milk frothing results every time, ensure steam has warmed up before frothing milk. Steam is ready when steam button light is fully ON. You will also hear the Pump start.place a cup under the froth nozzle, then turn on the knob to "➡️". Wait about a few seconds, there will be water coming out from the nozzle. Be careful of the hot steam. Then pour away the water of the cup.

3. Purge the steam wand of any water

With the steam wand positioned over the drip tray, activate the steam function by turning the the steam/water knob to the "➡️". Once any water has been purged stop the steam by turning the Steam/water Knob to the horizontal position (off-position).

? NOTE Be careful not to get burned by the steam.

4. Position

Place the Steam Wand Arm in the Milk ZZJug spout at the 12 o'clock position, with the Steam Wand Tip in the milk at the 3 o'clock position. Keep the Steam Wand Tip just under the surface of the milk. This will create a whirlpool action.

5. Sound

How air is introduced to the milk determines the consistency of the foam. If large gulps of air are added to the milk, the foam will have large bubbles. Introducing air to the milk in a controlled, gentle fashion indicated by a gentle hissing sound, will ensure the milk has fine aerated microfoam.

Barista Tip: Milk frothing Sounds

• Gurgling: Froth nozzle not deep enough, raise Milk Jug.
• Smooth Hissing: Just right for latte.
• Screeching: Froth nozzle too deep, lower Milk Jug.

6. Keeping Froth Nozzle Position

As the steam heats & textures the milk, the milk will stretch causing the level of the milk in the Milk Jug to rise. As this happens follow the level of the milk by lowering the Milk Jug, keeping the Froth nozzle just below the surface.

? NOTE Some adjustments to technique will be required when using non-dairy milk.

7. Amount of Foam

Create the amount of microfoam you want. Cappuccinos traditionally have more microfoam than flat whites.

8. Immerse Froth nozzle

After creating the desired amount of foam, immerse the Steam wand half depth way into the milk. This heats all the milk and pulls in milk instead of air. This ensures the milk & foam are blended together, making it denser & smoother.

9. Correct Temperature

An indication of reaching correct milk temperature is when the Milk Jug base can only be touched comfortably for approximately 3 seconds.

Barista Tip: Milk Temperature. Under: If not heated long enough, it will be warm with little texture. Optimum: between 140-149°F. Over: If heated for too long it will start to boil around 72°C and will have a burnt taste with all texture lost.

10. After the Milk Frothing

Milk temperature from 140-149°F is recommended for milk frothing, or you can increase or decrease the temperature to better suit your taste. Step 1 - Turn the steam/water knob to horizontal position(off-position). Step 2 - Press steam button to return stand by mode.

? NOTE If steam function is being used for more than 5 minutes, the ON/OFF button blinks red light quickly, and the steam button blinks white light quickly. Thus, reset steam/water knob to horizontal position (off-position) to stop it.

11. Tap & Swirl the Milk Jug

Gently tapping the Milk Jug on the benchtop helps to release larger trapped air bubbles. Swirling helps the milk & froth to combine for an even consistency & a silky appearance.

12. The Finishing Touches

Pour from the Milk Jug into your cup in one steady motion.

? NOTE If there is no operation after 5 minutes, the machine will pass to sleep mode.

13. Purging the Steam Wand

After turning the steam/water knob to horizontal position(off-position). and removing the Milk Jug from the Steam Wand, place the Steam Wand over the Drip Tray and purge the Steam Wand to remove any milk that has been sucked up. Press steam button to return stand by mode.

To purge turn the knob to the "➡️" position for a few seconds, then return the knob to the horizontal position (off-position).
