PERFECTING YOUR SKILLS - Single Wall Filters
SINGLE WALL FILTERS FOR ASPIRING
BARISTAS
Experiment with grind size, grind amount and
tamp
The Barista Express is supplied with two Single
Wall Filters - 1 x single shot and 1 x double
shot. These filters provide no additional slowing
of the water flow rate, hence experimentation
with the grind size, grind amount and tamp
force is required to achieve favorable results.
These filters are suited to both pre-ground
vacuum packed espresso as well as beans
ground fresh in the integrated grinder.
A great espresso is a balance of main flavor
elements: acidity, aroma, bitterness, body,
nuttiness, and sharpness. By using the Single
Wall Filters you are free to explore the world of
espresso by adjusting grind, grind amount and
tamp to extract a rich variety of flavors.
STEP 2 - PRE-WARMING THE CUPS
This will help maintain the espresso’s optimal
temperature when brewed into the cups.
The Cup Warming Plate will start to warm as
s
the machine heats.
Run hot water from the group head without
s
the portafilter inserted by holding down the
single shot button on the front, right hand
side of the machine, then place the cups on
the warming tray.
NOTE: Check the water level before use
and replace the water daily. The
water tank should be refilled with
fresh, cold tap water before each
use. Do not use mineral or distilled
water or any other liquid.
Ensure the charcoal water filter is securely
s
fitted inside the tank. Refer to ‘Care and
Cleaning’ on page 49, ‘Installing the Filter in
the Water Tank’
Fill the water tank with cold tap water to
s
the maximum mark on the side of the tank
and slide the water tank carefully back into
position at the back of the machine.
Plug the power cord into a 110/120V power
s
outlet.
Press the POWER button to ‘On’, the
s
POWER button surround will flash while
the machine is heating. When the correct
temperature has been reached, all the button
surrounds on the control panel will illuminate.
