TZS First AUSTRIA FA-5475, Instruction Manual

Preparing espresso or cappuccino is very different from brewing regular drip coffee in that 

this machine 

operates pressure and requires special attention.

 To ensure your safety and the long life of this appliance, 

please read all instructions, cautions, notes, and attentions.

HOW TO PREPARE QUALITY ESPRESSO AND CAPPUCCINO AT HOME

The Coffee:

The coffee should be freshly ground, dark roasted variety. Pre-ground coffee will only retain its flavor for 7-8 

days, provided it is stored in an air tight container, in a cool, dark area. Do not store in a refrigerator freezer.

Whole beans are recommended, to be ground just before use. Coffee beans stored in an air tight container will 

keep up to 4 weeks before they being to lose their flavor.

The Grind:

This is a vital step in the espresso making process and takes practice. The coffee must be ground fine, but 

not too fine

•   The correct grind should look gritty, like salt or sand.

•   If the grind is too fine, the water will flow through the coffee even under pressure. This grind looks like 

powder and feels like flour when rubbed between fingers.

•   If the grind is too coarse, the water flows through the coffee too fast, preventing a full flavored extraction.

Be sure to use a quality grinder or mill for uniform consistency in your espresso grind. Oval shaped coffee mills 

are not recommended because the grind is not consistent. 

MAKE ESPRESSO COFFEE

1.    Remove the tank cover by turning it in anti-clockwise. Pour appropriate water in water tank with the carafe. 

Do not exceed the maximum capacity. 

Note: 

•    The carafe has the cup marks, the maximum tank capacity is equal to 4 cups marks water quantity. The 

minimum tank capacity is equal to 2 cups marks water quantity. 

•    Before pouring the water into the water tank, be sure the power cord is unplug from the power outlet and 

the steam knob is in the (see Fig. 2/3) position.

2.    Replace the tank cover in place by turning the cover in clockwise until it locks in position.

3.    Put the steel mesh into metal funnel, add coffee powder to steel mesh with measuring spoon, a spoon 

coffee powder can make about a cup of top-grade coffee. Then press the coffee powder tightly with the 

tamper.

Note

: Select your desired coffee powder to make desired cups coffee, the steel mesh has 2 cups and 4 cups 

marks.
4.    Make sure the tubers on the funnel align with the grooves in the appliance, then insert the funnel into from 

the “INSERT” position, and you can fix the funnel into coffee maker firmly through turn it anti-clockwise until 

it is locked in the “LOCK” position.

5.   Place the carafe on the removable shelf. 

6.   Plug the power cord into the outlet. 

   Turn the steam knob to (see Fig. 2/1) position, and the indicator is illuminated, wait for about 2 minutes, 

there will be coffee flowing out.

7.    After desired coffee has obtained, you should turn steam knob to (Fig. 2/2) position, the indicator go out 

and the coffee maker stops working, your coffee is ready now. Then remove the carafe and turn the steam 

control knob to (Fig. 2/3) position release the residual steam in the tank.

WARNING

: Do not leave the coffee maker unattended during making the coffee, as you need operate 

manually sometimes!
8.   Before removing steel mesh or opening the tank cover, make sure the pressure in the tank shall be 

released. The method is turn the steam knob to the (Fig. 2/3) position firstly, the steam in the tank will eject 

from the frothing device. After pressure has released, and wait for the steel mesh cooling down, you can 

remove the steel mesh or open the tank cover.

9.    After finishing making the coffee, you can take the metal funnel out through turn clockwise, and then pour 

the coffee residue out with the steel mesh pressed by press bar. Let them cool down completely, then rinse
