Start up
We assume the machine has been properly installed and the water reservoir /(if
machine is pour over operated) is filled with fresh cold clean and soft drinking
water. If the machine is hard plumbed open the water feed to the machine and ensure
the program mode is set to hard plumb. See page 15.
1.
Turn on electrical feed to machine.
2.
Turn the on/off switch (Fig. A/ 12) from position 0 to position 1.
3.
Wait till the boiler pressure has reached the working pressure (app. 1.1 Bar).
You can check it on the gauge (Fig. A/11).
4.
Open the steam valve (Fig. A/2) for some seconds to let some steam out
through the steam wand (Fig. A/1) and then close the valve again. This
operation avoids milk resuction into the boiler. Wait till the working pressure of
app. 1.1 Bar has been reached again.
5.
Your machine is now ready to work.
How to brew espresso
1. Position the metal filter basket firmly inside the filter handle.
2. Fill the filter basket with freshly ground espresso coffee (for one cup app. 6,5g-7g
and for two cups 13,0g – 14,0 g).
3. Tamp the ground coffee firmly using the tamper supplied with
the machine. The tamp must be the same, cup after cup. This is one
of the basic parameters to control the water flow rate and to brew a
good espresso.
4. Fit the coffee filled filter handle (Fig. A/9) firmly into the
brewing head (Fig.A/8) and put the cup(s) under the filter handle’s spout(s).
Use one cup filter handle (with 1
spout) and one cup filter basket
to brew one cup of espresso.
Use two cup filter handle (with 2
spouts) and two cup filter basket
to brew two cups of espresso.
