Tips On Making An Espresso - Baumatic PECM1SS Instruction Manual

o Using the supplied espresso coffee batcher (ground) (9) put the
required amount of espresso coffee into the filter holder (1).
o Use the coffee pressing tool (10) to pack down the espresso
coffee in the filter holder. Place the filter holder into the filter
holder ring nut (19) on the main boiler and lock it in position.
o IMPORTANT: Do not overfill or compact the
espresso coffee too tightly. Doing this will not
allow the water to flow freely.
o Place a suitably sized cup under the main boiler. Use the
espresso cup stand (18) if using the espresso cup.
o Press the main boiler dispensing button (30).
o When your espresso is made, press the same button again to
stop hot water from dispensing.
o Release the filter holder (1) from the filter holder ring nut (19)
and discard the used espresso coffee.
o Wipe over the filters with a damp cloth, if you want to make
another drink.
o When you have finished making drinks, you can either wash the
filters and spouts in hot soapy water or in a dishwasher.

Tips on making an espresso

An espresso is a strong black coffee that is made
by forcing pressurised hot water, through finely
ground espresso coffee.
o Approximately 7 grams of coffee is required for
an espresso. After filling the filter with coffee, use the coffee
pressing tool (10) to tap down the coffee in the filter holder.
Remove any excess coffee from the filter holder before making
the espresso.
o If you are using the small cups especially designed for
espressos, then you should utilise the espresso cup stand (18)
to raise the cup closer to the filter holder (1).
o The main boiler should be pre-heated and a small amount of
water should be dispensed through the machine to warm it up.
