More Details

Three Way Shot Control System
Optimum temperature

This 3 way system delivers the accurate and stable water temperature that is needed for consistently great tasting espresso.

• Thermoblock Technology
  The Thermoblock ensures fast heat up, precise water temperature for the best espresso extraction and milk steaming. Only the required amount of water is heated for speed and efficiency. The Thermoblock heats water so that espresso extracts at 198°F for the optimum extraction of oils from the tamped coffee grinds. Temperatures above or below will result in burnt/bitter or weak tasting espresso.
• Advanced PID Controller
  The PID monitors and controls the Thermoblock to ensure water is always delivered to tamped coffee grinds at the precise temperature needed.
• Gentle Pre-infusion Small amounts of water are gently introduced onto the tamped coffee grinds prior to the steady flow of water, for a richer flavored espresso.

Café 58mm
Group Head and Portafilter
Extract the maximum amount of flavor

The Group Head and the portafilter are commercial sized, 58mm, just like a local café.

• The wider size ensures the coffee grinds are more evenly spread in the Filter Baskets. The coffee grinds are easier to fill, tamp and remove after use.
• The 58mm portafilter allows a more even extraction of the tamped coffee grinds, resulting in a true café tasting espresso.

Integrated Grinder

Easy on-demand grinding experience

• On-Demand Grinding
  The on-demand grinding technology delivers coffee grinds directly into the Portafilter with one touch. Simply push down on the Portafilter to activate the Grinder.
• Conical Burr Grinder
  The integrated Grinder offers an all-in-one grinding experience. The hardened Stainless Steel Conical Burr achieves consistent grind particle sizes, which minimizes heat transfer and reduces friction due to its gentle and slow rotation.

Tips for Milk Frothing

Milk Frothing is the steaming of milk.

Key Elements of Steamed Milk
Milk that has been frothed correctly has a Steam Wand Tip in the milk at the 3 o'clock thick, rich microfoam with a silky sheen. position, a finger width away from the edge of Frothing involves both heating and aerating the Pitcher. Keep Steam Wand Tip just under milk using steam. Vital elements include the surface of the milk. Turn DIAL back to positioning of the Steam Wand, when to STEAM position to start frothing. A whirlpool adjust the Milk Pitcher position and reaching action should be created in the Pitcher. the correct temperature. Use the below steps to help you create café-style microfoam.

1. Fill Milk Pitcher
   Add cold milk around 39°F into a chilled clean Stainless Steel Milk Pitcher. Fill to the bottom of the spout.
   Note: The volume of milk will increase or 'stretch'while frothing, so don't overfill the Pitcher.
   
2. Steam Warm Up
   Turn DIAL to STEAM. For best milk frothing results every time, allow steam to heat up. Steam is ready when STEAM LIGHT is fully illuminated. You will also hear the Pump start. Pause steam by returning DIAL to the vertical position.
   
3. Position
   Place the Steam Wand Arm in the Pitcher spout at the 12 o'clock position, with the Steam Wand Tip in the milk at the 3 o'clock position, a finger width away from the edge of the Pitcher. Keep Steam Wand Tip just under the surface of the milk. Turn DIAL back to STEAM position to start frothing. A whirlpool action should be created in the Pitcher.
   
4. Sound
   How air is introduced to the milk determines the consistency of the foam. If large gulps of air are added to the milk, the foam will have large bubbles. Introducing air to the milk in a controlled, gentle fashion indicated by a gentle hissing sound, will ensure the milk RETURN has fine aerated microfoam. HOT RETURN HOT RETURN
   Barista Tip: Milk Frothing Sounds
   • Gurgling - Tip not deep enough, raise Pitcher.
   • Smooth Hissing - Just right for latte.
   • Screeching - Tip too deep, lower Pitcher.
5. Keeping Steam Tip Position
   As the steam heats and froths the milk, the milk will stretch causing the level of the milk in the Pitcher to rise. As this happens follow the level of the milk by lowering the Pitcher, keeping the Steam Wand Tip just below the surface.
   
   Note: Some adjustments to technique will be required when using non-dairy milk.
6. Amount of Foam
   Create the amount of microfoam you want. Cappuccinos traditionally have more microfoam than flat whites.
7. Immerse Tip
   After creating the desired amount of foam, immerse the Steam Wand half depth way into the milk. This heats all the milk and pulls in milk instead of air. This ensures the milk and foam are blended together, making it denser and smoother.
   
8. Correct Temperature
   An indication of reaching correct milk temperature is when the Milk Pitcher base can only be touched comfortably for approximately 3 seconds.
   Barista Tip: Milk Temperature
   • Under - If not heated long enough, it will be warm with little froth.
   • Optimum - See below table.
   • Over - If heated for too long it will start to boil around 162°F and will have a burnt taste with all froth lost.

MILK	TEMPERATURE
Full and Skim	140-149°F
Almond	131-149°F
Soy	131-140°F
Coconut	149-158°F

Note: Above recommendations might vary from one milk brand to another and depending on your taste preference.

9. Purging the Steam Wand
   When correct milk temperature has been reached, turn the DIAL to the vertical position and remove the Pitcher from the Steam Wand. Place Milk Pitcher to one side. Place the Steam Wand over the Drip Tray. Turn the DIAL to the HOT WATER position for a few seconds, then return the DIAL to the vertical position. This will remove any milk that has been sucked into the Steam Wand Tip.
   
10. Wipe Steam Wand
    Wipe the Steam Wand Arm and Tip with a clean damp cloth to remove any milk residue.
11. Tap and Swirl the Pitcher
    Gently tapping the Pitcher on the countertop helps to release larger trapped air bubbles. Swirling helps the milk and froth to combine for an even consistency and a silky appearance.
    
12. The Finishing Touches
    Pour from the Milk Pitcher into your cup in one steady motion.
    Remember practice makes perfect.

Descaling Cycle - Espresso Machine

After continued use, your Espresso Machine may develop a build-up of mineral deposits and therefore require occasional descaling.

We recommend descaling your Espresso Machine every 4-6 months, although this period will depend on the hardness of water and frequency of use.

Descaling Solution

You have 3 options:

1. Espresso Machine Descaling Tablets or
2. Liquid Descaler or
3. White vinegar and warm water.

A and B descaling solutions are available for purchase online or from major retailers.

Descaling Cycle

The Descaling Cycle takes approximately 10 minutes to complete.

  • Simultaneously press and hold the ON/OFF and TWO SHOT BUTTONS for 4 seconds. The machine will beep and a flashing light combination between the ON/OFF and STEAM LIGHTS begins.
    

Note: The ON/OFF LIGHT will continue to flash until completion of the Descaling Cycle.

If Descaling Step 1 is not started within 1 minute of entering the Descaling Cycle, the machine will exit the Descaling Cycle and go back to the READY state.

The Descaling Cycle can be exited at any point by pressing the ON/OFF BUTTON.

Step 1. Start Descaling Cycle

• Turn the DIAL to the STEAM position.
• The STEAM LIGHT will now be fully illuminated.
• The Pump will start and hot water will run from the Group Head and Steam Wand. Over a 2 minute period the Pump will make different noises.
• When hot water has stopped being released from the Group Head and Steam Wand, this step is finished.
• To indicate the machine has finished this step, the machine will beep, the STEAM LIGHT will stop being illuminated and the DIAL LIGHT will now start to flash.
• Turn the DIAL to the vertical position.
• The DIAL LIGHT will now be fully illuminated.
• Move to Step 2.

Step 2. Preparing for Purge

There is a maximum of 5 minutes allowed to complete this step before the Descaling Cycle will exit.

• The Steam Wand and Group Head now need to be purged clean with fresh water to remove descaling solution.

• Rinse Water Reservoir
  • Remove the Water Reservoir and rinse thoroughly under running water, ensuring that all traces of the descaling solution have been removed.
• Fill Water Reservoir
  • Fill the Water Reservoir to the '1 Liter' line with cold water from the tap and insert into position.
