OPERATING THE ESPRESSO MACHINE
Place one or two espresso cups
11
on the drip plate under the spouts
of the portafilter. Press the Espresso
button, and espresso will start to flow
into the cups.
NOTE: Do not remove the portafilter when brewing.
The Espresso Machine is equipped
13
with a 3-way solenoid valve that
instantly releases pressure in the
brew group when the water pump is
switched off, so the portafilter can be
removed immediately after brewing.
Remove the portafilter by moving the
handle to the left. Knock the used
coffee grounds out of the filter basket
into a waste container.
NOTE: When knocking coffee grounds
from the filter basket, avoid striking the
portafilter handle.
When the desired amount of espresso
12
has been brewed (1 oz. using the
small filter basket or 2 oz. using the
large filter basket), press the Espresso
button to stop brewing.
After removing the portafilter, place
14
a cup under the brew head and press
the Espresso button for a second or
two. This cleans the shower screen
and flushes out any coffee oils and
grounds that have migrated into the
brew head.
