Features of your Café Series® Espresso Machine continued Milk Temperature Gauge The 4 BAR steam pump produces instant, constant steam pressure for texturing milk. An important factor when creating milk foam is temperature. The steam wand integrates a temperature sensing device that relays the temperature of the milk during texturing to the milk temperature gauge on the control board.
Features of your Café Series® Espresso Machine continued Control Board Slightly angled for easy viewing, the control board communicates the essential information you need to create a great tasting coffee. Use the 'CAPSULE' button for capsule based coffee. Use the 'single' or 'double' cup for ground coffee bean based coffee. Pre-Infusion There are 3 programmable pre-infusion settings to help achieve the perfect extraction. Pre-infusion is programmed into the MANUAL, 1 CUP and 2 CUP espresso operations. 1.
Preparing your espresso machine for the first time • Ensure the espresso machine is always positioned onto a dry, stable bench top. • Ensure all packaging has been removed from the espresso machine and the drip tray with grill is in place. • Fill the espresso machine with water; 1. Simply lift the lid of the water reservoir at the top of the espresso machine and using a jug, fill with fresh cold water or filtered water. 2.
Using your espresso machine Ground coffee Power Note: Before turning on the espresso machine ensure the steam and hot water control dials are in the OFF position. Press the POWER button once to turn the espresso machine on. The machine will beep once and the power button will flash to indicate that your machine is on and is heating up. When the machine has reached READY MODE, the power button will stop flashing and the POWER, MANUAL, 1 & 2 CUP buttons will illuminate white.
Using your espresso machine continued user complete control over the length of the espresso pour. To use this operation press the MANUAL button once to start the espresso pour. The pour will start with the pre-infusion and then the espresso pour will follow. Press the MANUAL button again to stop the espresso pour. Note: When using the MANUAL operation, the lights on the 1 & 2 cup buttons will go off and the lights on the POWER and MANUAL buttons will remain on.
The Espresso Pour Tips Great coffees start with freshly roasted beans that will deliver a sweet espresso that will be rich in texture, body and aroma. Controlling each part of the coffee making process is the real secret. Steam To activate the steam, turn the steam dial on by turning anti-clockwise. This will open the steam function with an instant and constant supply of powerful steam for texturing milk. • Never extract any more than 30mls of espresso.
Inserting a capsule adaptor Figure 1 1. Choose a Capsule adaptor base which matches your capsule brand, eg. Black = Nespresso. Insert the base into the group handle. Ensure the bayonets on the underside of the base, are inserted into the slots on the handle. Ensure the adaptor base sits flush in the group handle. Figure 2 2.When the base is flush in the group handle, turn capsule adaptor base about 30° so it does not fall out.
Using your espresso machine - Capsule Single Capsule Espresso Pour The capsule function removes the guess work and is programmed to pour about 30 to 40mls of coffee depending on which capsule is used. Long Capsule Espresso Pour The long capsule espresso function removes the guess work and is programmed to pour about 110mls of coffee. This function is currently recommended for Nespresso Lungo. Tip: We recommend using the Capsule button for all capsules.
Guide to milk texturing What you want to achieve is silky thick rich milk that has been heated to between 60-65°C. The steam coming out of the machine will only heat the milk, it is up to the coffee maker to aerate the milk in a way that allows the creation of beautifully textured micro foam and it’s all about the positioning of the steam tip and how you move the jug. Using the Temperature Sensing Steam Wand 1. Firstly always start with fresh cold milk from the fridge and a clean jug. 2.
Advanced Programming Programming Pre-infusion Programming 1 Cup Volume PREPARE the 1 cup filter with coffee and tamp. There are 3 programmable pre-infusion settings to help achieve the perfect extraction; PLACE a cup under the espresso pour spouts. PRESS and HOLD the 1 CUP button for over 1.5 seconds. Press the 1 CUP button again once the desired volume of espresso has been extracted.
Advanced Programming continued Espresso Thermoblock Temperature The temperature of the thermoblock has been calibrated to 92°C. However the coffee maker can adjust the temperature of the espresso thermoblock in increments of 2°C up and down, should it be desired. Figure 1 4.

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.
Coffee thermoblock cleaning cycle Deposits of coffee oils build up over time and affect the taste of the coffee and operation of the espresso machine. Therefore the group head will require regular cleaning. It is recommended that the group head is cleaned at a minimum every 3 months, this will vary depending on the frequency of use. 1. Remove the water reservoir and rinse clean. With fresh water completely fill and replace the reservoir. 2.
Descaling Cycle for both the Coffee and Steam Thermoblocks 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 and water hardness. 1. Remove the water reservoir and rinse clean. Fill with fresh cold water and replace the reservoir. 2.
Descaling Cycle for both the Coffee and Steam Thermoblocks 12. The espresso machine will repeat the pumping and rest cycles for 13 times for both the STEAM and ESPRESSO thermoblocks. This will take approximately 17 minutes. 13. At the completion of the 14 cycles the espresso machine will start to beep and the 1 CUP button will flash. 14. Remove the water reservoir, empty and rinse thoroughly with cold water. Also empty the container under the group head and steam wand and place back into position. 15.
