Dispensing Of Hot Water; Dispensing Of Steam - Profitec PRO 300 User Manual

Fill the ground coffee with the respective grind for espresso into the filter. (The marking inside the filter
basket can help you find the right amount of coffee.)
Compress the ground coffee with the tamper. Clamp the portafilter firmly into the brew group.
Place the cup under the spout of the portafilter (for the preparation of 2 cups, put 1 cup under each spout).
Now activate the coffee switch to start the brewing process. The timer on the PID-display indicates the
brewing time in seconds. In general, the brewing time should be around 20 to 25 seconds. The volume for
a single espresso is about 25 to 30 ml. Place the coffee switch back into the original position once the
desired volume is reached.
The remaining pressure/water will be discharged into the drip tray through the lower part of the brew
group.
• Only freshly ground coffee allows for an optimal coffee result. Therefore, use a
professional coffee grinder.
• We recommend to use our stainless steel tamper with a diameter of 58 mm for
optimum tamping.

6.4 Dispensing of hot water

1 In case you have not done so yet, activate the steam boiler. Wait until the boiler pressure gauge
indicates a pressure of 1.0
2 Place a suitable container (with heat-insulated grip) underneath the hot water wand. Now you can
dispense hot water (e.g. for tea) by turning the hot water knob. When dispensing large amounts of
water, it is advisable to turn the machine off so that no cold water is pumped out of the fresh water
tank.
3 After having dispensed hot water, turn the machine back on. The boiler is automatically refilled with
fresh water.
Please close the hotwater-/steam valve gently and do not over tighten it.
When the machine is switched off, more hot water can be dispensed.
However, one does not necessarily have to switch off the machine for dispensing hot
water.
Caution!
Place the hot water wand into the water container in order to avoid injuries due to hot
water spraying.

6.5 Dispensing of steam

The PRO 300 makes it possible to generate large amounts of steam in order to heat or froth beverages,
e. g. milk or punch. It is a professional and compact espresso coffee machine. Within a few seconds, you
can prepare milk froth. Please pay attention to the instructions below. Do not bring the milk to a boil,
otherwise frothing milk will not be possible.
1 In case you have not yet done so , activate the steam boiler by the steam switch. The orange signal
lamp comes on. Wait a short time until steam has built up in the boiler. The boiler pressure gauge
should indicate a pressure of 1.0
2 Important: In order to get the best results when frothing milk, open the steamknob for approx.
5 seconds to release the condensation water in the pipe. This also prevents milk from being sucked
into the boiler.
3 Immerse the steam nozzle into the liquid.
4 Turn the steamknob.
5 Heat and/or froth the liquid.
6 After frothing or heating, release the steam into the drip tray to keep the holes of the steam nozzle
clean.
Risk of injury
Always keep the steam nozzle underneath the surface of the liquid while heating or
frothing in order to avoid splashing.
