Using the control panel Power Press the ‘POWER’ button once to turn the espresso machine on. The light located on the power button will illuminate red and the temperature indicator line on the LCD will start to flash from symbol; this is to indicate that your espresso machine is on and is heating up. Note: Before turning on the espresso machine ensure that the operating dial on the side of the espresso machine is in the off position.
Using the control panel (continued) Once the espresso machine is heated to the correct temperature, the temperature indicator line will stop flashing and and 'READY' will appear on the LCD, the coffee maker is then able to use the espresso machine. Note: Should the espresso machine not be in steam mode, so the orange light on the steam button is not on, the coffee maker needs to press the steam button to activate the steam mode. By design the temperature of the espresso machine will adjust as necessary.

Preparing your espresso machine before use 1. Place the espresso machine onto a dry, stable benchtop. 2. Ensure the drip tray and grill are in place. 3. Fill the espresso machine with water. There are a couple of ways in which the water reservoir can be filled; a) Simply lift the lid of the water reservoir at the top of the espresso machine (1) and using a jug, fill with fresh cold water or filtered water (2). b) Alternatively the water reservoir can be removed and filled with fresh cold water.
Guide to the perfect espresso Before starting to prepare for making espresso, ensure the espresso machine is in espresso/hot water mode, so the red light on the power button and the orange light on the button are illuminated. Note: Should the espresso machine not be in espresso/hot water mode so the orange light on the button is not on, the coffee maker needs to press the button to activate the espresso/hot water mode. Preheat Glasses 1.
Guide to the perfect espresso (continued) Tip: After each use of the espresso machine we recommend that a small amount of water is cycled through the group head as this will wash out any old or used coffee grinds stuck to the underside of the group head. Simply turn the operating dial to the espresso setting and allow some water to run through. Standby Mode After 1 hour of non-use the espresso machine will automatically switch to standby mode.
Guide to milk texturing Milk texturing is the steaming of milk. The steam does two things, firstly it heats the milk and secondly the steam mixes air with the milk to form an ‘emulsion’ of tiny bubbles that gives a silky velvet texture. Similar to making an espresso, perfecting the art of milk texturing takes time and practice. Tip: Remember espresso is the foundation for all café style drinks and the milk is the variable.
Guide to milk texturing (continued) 11. With the jug in hand tap the jug on the bench top to release the trapped air bubbles and then swirl the jug in a circular motion until the milk becomes shiny and no bubbles remain, this helps the milk and froth combine for an even consistency. By swirling the milk you can see the foam in the jug swirling with your movement this will enable you to judge the thickness of your foam.
Espresso Recipes ESPRESSO (SHORT BLACK) MACCHIATO Espresso is a concentrated, full bodied coffee with a stable layer of cream on top – known as ‘crema’. An espresso is the foundation of all café coffee. Variations are achieved by adding different amounts of milk and froth. Macchiato, Italian for ‘to stain or mark’. Traditionally served as a standard espresso with a dash of milk and a small dollop of froth into the middle of the ‘crema’.
Espresso Recipes (continued) CAFFE LATTE CAFFE MOCHA An espresso with steamed milk, typically served in a glass. The layer of frothed milk on top should be 10mm to seal the coffee. • 220mL glass or cup Made in a similar way to a cappuccino but with the addition of drinking chocolate. Simply stir the chocolate into the espresso prior to adding the steamed milk and froth.
Care and Cleaning The coffee making process involves extracting oils out of coffee grinds to make espresso coffee. Deposits of these oils build up over time and affect the taste of the coffee and operation of the espresso machine. Regular cleaning to remove these oils is essential and will maintain the quality of the coffee the espresso machine produces and result in less maintenance being required.
Care and Cleaning (continued) Steam wand Keeping the steam arm clean is essential to ensure maximum efficiency of the steam function. A build up of caramelised/dried milk on the steam wand will impair the steaming and texturing ability of the espresso machine. Important: Wipe the steam wand clean with a damp cloth immediately after each use and purge a small amount of steam.
Descaling Scale is a surface build up of minerals that naturally occur over time in all appliances that are involved with the heating of water. Therefore the espresso machine will require occasional descaling. It is recommended that the espresso machine is descaled every 4-6 months, this will vary depending on the frequency of use. Descaling solution Use any of the following when descaling the espresso machine: Sunbeam Espresso Machine Descaling Tablets Sunbeam Liquid Descaler, or Vinegar Solution.
Descaling (continued) 10. Leave the machine off for 10-15 minutes to allow the descaler solution to take affect. 11. Press the power button once to turn the espresso machine on. 12. Turn the operating dial to the espresso setting and allow the remaining solution to cycle through the group head. 13. Remove the water reservoir from the machine and rinse thoroughly under running water, ensuring that all traces of the descaling solution is removed. Fill with clean water and replace the reservoir. 24 14.
