Guide to the perfect espresso continued
12. Check the espresso pour. The ideal
pour is dark and caramel with reddish
reflections. The pour should hang
vertically on each spout and resist like
dripping honey.
Tip: Refer to the espresso gauge on the
espresso machine as this will help
indicate the quality of the pour.
13. Serve espresso immediately.
Caring for your Espresso Machine
14. Remove the filter handle from the group
head (25).
15. Discard the used coffee grinds from the
filter basket (26).
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
press the ‘MANUAL’ button and allow some
water to run through.
Sleep Mode
After 1 hour of non-use the espresso machine
will automatically switch to ‘SLEEP MODE’.
An indication that the machine is in ‘SLEEP
MODE’ is the light above the ‘POWER’
button will slowly flash red. After a further
26 hours of non-use the espresso machine
will turn off.
