Using Your Espresso Machine
Single and Double
NOTE: Make sure you have a coffee cup or container placed under the dispenser before
using the Single or Double function.
NOTE: Follow dial in instructions for correct grind size and
volume of grounds
1. Push either the single shot or double shot filter into the
portafilter until it clicks into place.
2. Make sure there are coffee beans in the bean hopper.
3. Place the portafilter within the grinder cradle.
4. Press the Grind button. Refer to table.
5. When grinding is complete, remove the
portafilter and gently tap to even out the
coffee grounds.
6. Tamp down firmly using the tamper
provided. Consistent pressure will create
the best coffee puck. Clear away any
excess grounds from the rim of the
portafilter. Refer to Tips on page 17 for
more information on tamping.
NOTE: Tamping clears out air pockets to avoid water
channeling through the grounds.
NOTE: User can run an empty shot first to heat the group-
head and/or clean out from previous shot.
7. Place the portafilter with pressed coffee puck into the
group-head at a 45° angle and rotate it to the right until it
locks into place as shown.
NOTE: Portafilter installation has some resistance. If it is too
hard to install, then there may be too much coffee grounds.
Refer to Tips section on page 17.
8. Press the Single or Double button to begin
brewing.
9. When your function is complete, dispose of coffee
grounds, rinse the portafilter, then dry. Follow
cleaning instructions for the portafilter in the Care
and Cleaning section.
NOTE: After every single/double cycle your machine
will release internal pressure as it is cooling down
by slowly releasing excess water into the back of
the drip tray. DO NOT remove the drip tray until the
process is complete.
NOTE: There may be excess hot water in the
portafilter. Be cautious when disposing of grounds.
