Coffee Scoop and Shower-Screen Brush
Use one level scoop of coffee for each cup (30 ml) of espresso.
The shower-screen brush will help keep the brew head and
shower screen free of grounds.
Not Shown:
Dual Boilers
Separate boilers eliminate the wait single-boiler machines
require when switching between frothing and brewing. Boiler
heating elements never touch water: they are located on the
outside of the boiler for superb brew temperature consistency
and burnout resistance. Quick-heating boilers reach operating
temperatures in approximately 6 minutes.
Drip-Free System with 3-Way Solenoid Valve
A 3-way solenoid valve virtually eliminates drips by instantly
reducing pressure in the brew group when the pump is
switched off. The filter holder can be removed immediately
after brewing without a messy spray of coffee grounds.
15-Bar Pump
Self-priming water pump comfortably supplies pressure that
perfect espresso demands.
2. Wash the tank in hot, soapy water, and rinse with clean
water. The tank can also be washed in the top rack of the
dishwasher.
3. Place the tank back into the Espresso Machine, making sure
the siphon hoses are placed inside the tank. The rib on
the bottom of the tank fits into the grooves on the base
of the housing.
