When the espresso boiler temperature gauge needle
climbs into the "
" zone, the espresso machine is
ready to brew.
7. Remove the filter holder from the brew head by
moving the handle to the left. Place one level measure
of ground coffee (or a paper coffee pod) in the small
filter basket, or two measures of ground coffee in the
large basket. Be sure to use a fine espresso-style grind
for your coffee.
8. Using the tamper, tamp the coffee down firmly with a
twisting motion. Make sure the surface of the coffee is
as level as possible. See "Leveling" and "Tamping" on
pages 13 and 14 for details.
9. Sweep any excess grinds from the rim of the filter
holder, and insert the filter holder into the brew head.
10. Place one or two espresso cups on the drip plate under
the spouts of the filter holder. Press the "

desired amount of espresso has been brewed, press the
"

solenoid valve that instantly releases pressure in the
brew group when the water pump is switched off, so
the filter holder can be removed immediately after
brewing. Remove the filter holder by moving the handle
to the left. When knocking coffee grounds from the
filter basket, avoid striking the filter holder handle.
12. After removing the filter holder, place a cup under the
brew head and press the "
Brewing Espresso
" Button,
" Button for a second or
two. This cleans the shower screen and flushes any
coffee oils and grounds that have migrated into the
brew head.
13. To brew more espresso, repeat steps 6 through 12, but
see the barista tips below.
Barista Tips
When brewing multiple cups:
1. Use a towel to clean and dry the filter basket before
filling with coffee. This will help insure even coffee
extraction.
2. To maintain the proper brewing temperature, it is
important to keep the brew group warm, so:
• Do not rinse the filter holder with tap water –
doing so will cool the filter. It's best to wipe
leftover grounds from the filter with a towel.
• When you're busy with other tasks, like grinding
coffee or frothing milk, keep the empty filter holder
warm by attaching it to the brew head.
