OPERATING YOUR ESPRESSO MACHINE ES 8012
STEP 6 - INSERTING THE PORTAFILTER
Place the portafilter underneath the group head
so that the handle is aligned with the insert
graphic.
Insert the portafilter up into the group head and
rotate the handle to the right until resistance is
felt, this will be at an approximate 90° angle to
the machine.
STEP 7 – EXTRACTING THE ESPRESSO
• Ensure all the button surrounds on the con-
trol panel are illuminated, indicating the ma-
chine has reached the correct temperature
for brewing, and is ready for use.
• Ensure the drip tray and portafilter are in
place.
• Place one or two pre-warmed cups beneath
the portafilter outlet.
NOTE:
PRE-BREW FUNCTION When a single or
double coffee is selected, the machine
will pump water momentarily, followed
by a pause then continues to pump the
water through to the ground coffee in
the portafilter. The ground coffee is
moistened by a small amount of water
before full extraction then expands re-
sulting in greater pressure build-up to
extract all the oils and full flavour from
the ground coffee.
