USING YOUR COFFEE MACHINE – MAKING COFFEE

To achieve optimum performance from your Espresso Machine, follow this procedure.
Beware of hot surfaces around the Grouphead and Showerhead when inserting removing the Filter Holder. Ensure Grouphead Heat Shield is correctly fitted.
Risk of burns and scalding.

The basis of all coffee beverages is an espresso shot – a single or double shot of strong, black coffee. Ground coffee only has a three-day shelf life, so only grind the amount of coffee required at a time. Use a medium grind suitable for espresso machines. Too fine might block the Filter, too coarse will result in a weak and under-extracted espresso.

When making a milk-based drink, always make the espresso before steaming or frothing the milk to ensure optimum coffee extraction temperature.

Your appliance has an automatic shut off feature to save energy. The machine will turn off after 15 minutes of no use. There will be an audible click as the Power Switch returns to the 'Off' Position.

1. FILL WATER TANK/ DRIP TRAY
   Ensure that the water level is above MIN and below MAX. DO NOT USE ANY OTHER LIQUID. Do not overfill. Ensure that the Drip Tray is empty and in position.
   
2. INSERTING WATER TANK
   Ensure the protective bag has been removed from the Water Tank Pipes. When inserting Water Tank, lift both pipes up and place down into the Water Tank, before insertion. The Water Tank Pipes must hang down into the water as shown, when Water Tank is fully inserted. If the Water Tank Pipes are not as shown, remove Water Tank, pull Water Tank Pipes down and insert again.
   
3. TURN MACHINE ON
   Plug the Power Cord into the mains supply and press the Power Switch into the 'On' position.
   
4. PRIME

    Using the Measuring Spoon, measure out one level Spoon (6-9 grams) per serving into the Cup Filter. Use 2 level Spoons (12-18 grams) if using the 2 Cup Filter. THESE ARE APPROXIMATE, EXACT QUANTITY DEPENDENT ON BEANS AND GRIND SIZE.
    
12. LEVEL COFFEE
    Level coffee using the other end of the Measuring Spoon. If coffee is not level before tamping, coffee density will be uneven and will cause water to tunnel through less dense areas, resulting in weak coffee.
    
13. TAMPING
    Using other end of the Measuring Spoon or the Dualit Tamper, tamp coffee grounds. Aim to apply 5kg of force and try to achieve a 5mm space between top of coffee and top of Cup Filter. For more details on Headroom, see Barista Tips on dualit.com.
    
14. WIPE
    Wipe the rim of the Cup Filter to remove excess ground coffee. If you don't, a watertight seal will not form and water or coffee will leak from the Brewhead.
