Brew group

The part of the Espresso Machine that holds

all the working parts that allow you to brew

your drink. There are two brew groups on

your Espresso Machine. The first holds the

On/Off Power button, the On indicator light,

the Espresso button, the brew head, and the

shower-screen. The portafilter attaches to

this brew group. The second brew group

holds the Hot Water button, the steam dial,

and the frothing arm/nozzle.
Brew head

The round area that allows you to attach

the portafilter when brewing espresso.

Shower-screen and Shower-screen

brush

Water comes through the shower-screen at

a precise speed in order to extact a perfect

shot of espresso from the filter basket. The

shower-screen brush allows you to gently

clean the shower-screen between uses so

that the water flow is not blocked.
Portafilter

The portafilter holds the filter basket filled

with espresso grounds in place on the brew

head, and has a long handle for ease of use�

Filter baskets

The small filter basket brews one (30 ml)

shot of espresso. The large filter basket

brews 59 ml of espresso.

Tamper

This tool is used to compress or “polish”

your espresso grounds in the filter basket.

Frothing arm and Frothing nozzle

The frothing arm and nozzle allow you to

make steamed milk for espresso drinks�

The arm adjusts horizontally and vertically,

allowing you to position the nozzle in a

comfortable working position. The nozzle

is designed to enhance frothing�

Steam dial

Precisely controls the pressure and volume

of steam coming through the frothing nozzle�

Frothing pitcher

The 325 ml stainless steel pitcher is shaped

especially for frothing milk, and

has a spout designed for latte art�

Espresso temperature gauge

espresso brewing boiler, which must be

heated to the right temperature to extract

a shot of espresso�

Frother temperature gauge

This gauge reads the temperature of your

steam boiler, which must be heated to the

right temperature to produce steam for

frothing milk�
Drip plate and Drip tray

The drip plate sits inside the drip tray

and catches any spilled espresso while

the machine is in use�

Cup rail

place to warm your espresso cups before
