STEP 9 – EXTRACTING THE ESPRESSO
Ensure all the button surrounds on the control
panel are illuminated, indicating the machine
has reached the correct temperature for
brewing, and is ready for use.
Ensure the drip tray and portafilter are in
place.
Place one or two pre-warmed cups beneath
the portafilter outlet.
NOTE: PRE-BREW FUNCTION: When
a preset shot size on the front,
right hand side of the machine is
selected, the machine will pump
water momentarily, followed by a
pause then continue to pump the
water through to the grounds in
the portafilter. The ground coffee
is moistened by a small amount of
water before full extraction. This
expands the grinds, resulting in
greater pressure build-up to extract
all the oils and full flavor from the
ground beans.
PRESET SHOT SIZE - ONE SHOT
Press the one cup button once. A preset
extraction of approximately 1 oz of espresso will
be delivered. A pumping noise will be heard in
this operation. The machine will automatically
stop once the preset pour has been delivered.
NOTE: The amount of espresso extracted
in the cup will vary depending on
the coarseness of your grind and
grind amount
NOTE: When using a single shot filter,
for optimal flavor, you should
only extract approximately 1 oz.
When using a double shot filter,
for optimal flavor, you should only
extract approximately 2 oz.
