WARNING
Filled cup temperature is approximately 75°C -
90°C (167°F - 194°F). Be careful in handling hot
beverages.
TIP
Heating your cup or glass
A warm cup will help maintain the coffee's
optimal temperature. Pre-heat your cup by
rinsing with hot water from the hot water outlet
and place on the cup warming tray.
Heating the portafilter and filter basket
A cold portafilter and filter basket can
reduce the extraction temperature enough to
significantly affect the quality of your espresso.
Always ensure the portafilter and filter basket
are pre-heated with hot water from the hot water
spout before initial use.
NOTE
Always wipe the portafilter and filter basket dry
before dosing with ground coffee as moisture
can encourage 'channeling' where water by-
passes the ground coffee during extraction.
FILTER BASKETS
This machine includes both single and dual
wall, 1 cup and 2 cup filter baskets.
Use the 1 cup filter basket when brewing
a single cup and the 2 cup filter baskets when
brewing 2 cups or a stronger single cup or mug.
The provided filter baskets are designed for
ground coffee:
1 cup filter basket = 8-11g
2 cup filter basket = 16-19g
Single Wall Filter Baskets
1 CUP
Single Wall filter baskets should be used when
grinding fresh whole coffee beans.
These allows you to experiment with grind and
dose to create a more balanced espresso.
Dual Wall Filter Baskets
1 CUP
Dual Wall filter baskets should be used when
using pre-ground coffee and older beans that
are past the 30-day roast date.
These regulate the pressure and help to
optimize the extraction regardless of the grind,
dose, or freshness.
THE GRIND
Adjusting the Grind Size
The grind size will affect the rate of water flow
through the coffee in the filter basket and the
flavour of the espresso. When setting the grind
size, it should be fine but not too fine and
powdery.
