Functions

TURNING OFF THE MACHINE

To turn the machine off, press the POWER button. Alternatively, the machine has auto-off, if it is not used for 30 minutes.

FILTER BASKETS

This machine includes 4 filter baskets; 2 x Single Wall and 2 x Dual Wall.
Single Wall filter baskets should be used when grinding fresh whole coffee beans. They allow you to experiment with grind, dose and tamp to create a more balanced espresso.

Dual Wall filter baskets should be used when using pre-ground coffee. They regulate the pressure and help to optimize the extraction regardless of the grind, dose and tamp pressure or freshness.

Regardless of whether you use Single Wall or Dual Wall filters baskets, use the 1 CUP basket when brewing a single cup and the 2 CUP basket when brewing two cups or a stronger single cup or mug.
You will need to adjust the grind amount and size if switching from a single to a double basket, or vice versa.

The provided filter baskets are designed for:

1. CUP basket = approx. 8-11g
2. CUP basket = approx. 16-19g

NOTE
You may need to experiment with how much coffee is dosed into the filter basket or how long the grinder needs to run to achieve the correct dose. For example; when using a finer espresso grind with the Single Wall filter baskets, you may need to increase the grind amount to ensure the filter basket is correctly dosed.

THE GRIND

When grinding coffee beans, the grind size should be fine, but not too fine. The grind size will affect the rate at which water flows through the ground coffee in the filter basket and the taste of the espresso.
If the grind is too fine (looks like powder and feels like flour when rubbed between the fingers), the water will not flow through the coffee, even when under pressure. The resulting espresso will be OVER EXTRACTED, dark in color and bitter in flavor.
If the grind is too coarse, the water will flow through the ground coffee in the filter basket too quickly. The resulting espresso will be UNDER EXTRACTED and lacking in color and flavor.

SETTING THE GRIND SIZE

This machine has 30 grind settings to select from, with the size selected displayed on the LCD screen. The default grind size is 15.
When adjusting the grind size, a bar will display on the LCD indicating a faster or slower pour.

Use the GRIND SIZE selector on the left side of the machine to adjust the grind size.

GRINDING COFFEE USING THE DOSING FUNNEL™ 54

• Fill the hopper with fresh coffee beans.
• Insert the required filter basket into the portafilter.
• Attach and twist the dosing funnel onto the portafilter.
• Insert the portafilter (with the dosing funnel) into the grinding cradle.
  
• If required, press the FILTER SIZE button to select the filter basket size; Single or Double.
• If required, turn the GRIND AMOUNT dial to change the grind time; clockwise to increase the time and anti-clockwise to decrease.

NOTE
The default grind times are 9.5 seconds for a 1 cup filter and 13 seconds for a 2 cup filter.

• Press and release the portafilter to activate the automatic dosing. The LCD will show the filter basket filling.
  
• If you need to pause the grinding function, press and release the portafilter. The LCD will show PAUSED, it will remain paused for 15 seconds before returning to READY mode.
• Press and release the portafilter to resume grinding.

NOTE
It is normal for the portafilter to appear overfilled with ground coffee.

MANUAL DOSING

To manually dose the coffee, press and hold the portafilter in the grinding cradle until the desired amount of ground coffee has been dosed. To stop grinding, release the portafilter. The timer will count up, displaying the grind time.

TAMPING THE GROUND COFFEE

• Remove the portafilter from the grinding cradle.
• Tap the portafilter several timers to collapse and distribute the coffee evenly in the filter basket.
• Using the tamper, tamp down firmly (approx. 22-33lb (10-15kg) of pressure). The amount of pressure is not as important as the consistent pressure every time.
  

NOTE
As a guide, the top edge of the cap on the tamper should be level with the top of the filter basket AFTER the coffee has been tamped.

• After tamping, remove the dosing funnel from the portafilter.

NOTE
We recommend quality 100% Arabica beans with a 'Roasted On' date stamped on the bags, not a 'Best Before' or 'Use By' date. Coffee beans are best consumed between 5 – 20 days after the 'Roasted On' date. Stale coffee may pour too quickly from the portafilter and taste bitter and watery.

TRIMMING THE DOSE

The Razor™ precision dose trimming tool allows you to trim the puck to the right level for a consistent extraction.

• Insert the Razor™ dose trimming tool into the filter basket until the shoulders of the tool rest on the rim of the basket. The blade of the dose trimming tool should penetrate the surface of the tamped coffee.
• Rotate the Razor™ dose trimming tool back and forth while holding the portafilter on an angle over a knock box to trim off excess coffee grinds. Your filter basket is now dosed with the correct amount of coffee.
  
• Wipe excess coffee from the rim of the filter basket to ensure a proper seal is achieved in the group head.

PURGING THE GROUP HEAD

Before placing the portafilter into the group head, run a short flow of water through the group head by pressing the 1 CUP button. This will stabilize the temperature prior to extraction and preheat the portafilter for a consistent shot temperature.

INSERTING THE PORTAFILTER

NOTE
DO NOT insert the portafilter with the dosing funnel in the group-head.

Place the portafilter underneath the group head so that the handle is aligned with the INSERT position. Insert the portafilter into the group head and rotate the handle towards the centre until firm resistance is felt.

EXTRACTING ESPRESSO

• As a guide the espresso will start to flow after 8–12 seconds (infusion time) and should be the consistency of dripping honey.
• If the espresso starts to flow after less than 7 seconds, you have either under dosed the filter basket and /or the grind is too coarse. This is an UNDER EXTRACTED shot.
• If the espresso starts to drip but doesn't flow after 13 seconds, the grind is too fine. This is an OVER EXTRACTED shot.

CORRECT EXTRACTION

• Flow starts after 8-12 secs
• Flow slow like warm honey
• Crema is golden brown with a ne mousse texture
• Espresso is dark brown

AFTER EXTRACTION
REMOVE USED GRINDS
Used grinds will form a coffee 'puck'. If the puck is wet, refer to the 'Under Extraction' section.

RINSE FILTER BASKET
Keep the lter basket clean to prevent blockages. Without ground coffee in the lter basket, lock the porta lter into the machine and run hot water through.

UNDER EXTRACTION

• Flow starts after 1-7 secs
• Flow fast like water
• Crema is thin and pale
• Espresso is pale brown
• Tastes bitter/sharp, weak and watery

SOLUTIONS

Tamp using 22-33lb of pressure. The top edge of metal cap on the tamper should be level with the top of the lter basket AFTER tamping. Remove the dosing funnel from the porta lter then trim the puck to the right level using the Razor ™ precision dose trimming tool.

OVER EXTRACTION

• Flow starts after 13 secs
• Flow drips or not at all
• Crema is dark and spotty
• Espresso is very dark brown
• Tastes bitter and burnt

SOLUTIONS

Tamp using 22-33lb of pressure. The top edge of metal cap on the tamper should be level with the top of the lter basket AFTER tamping. Remove the dosing funnel from the porta lter then trim the puck to the right level using the Razor ™ precision dose trimming tool.
