The ground coffee is moistened by a small amount of water before full extraction then expands resulting in greater pressure build-up to extract all the oils and full flavor from the ground coffee.

To empty the used coffee grounds, turn the filter holder upside down in a bin and gently tap out the coffee (used coffee grounds should be thrown away with domestic waste and not down the sink which may block drains).

HOW TO TEXTuRE MILK FOR A CAppuCCINO OR LATTE (continued) HOW TO TEXTuRE MILK FOR A CAppuCCINO OR LATTE (continued) The Die Cast Programmable Espresso Machine comes complete with a Commercial Style Swivel Steam Wand and Stainless Steel Frothing Attachment. When using the frothing attachment on the steam wand a large amount of froth is easily created. If less texture is required, remove the frothing attachment from the steam wand and steam the milk using the steam wand. To remove the frothing attachment, ensure it is cool then simply pull down and remove. The frothing attachment can be stored in the storage tray inside the machine if not used regularly. To refit the frothing attachment ensure it is securely attached to the steam wand by inserting it, from either opening, onto the steam wand and pushing firmly upwards onto the rubber surround. Ensure the fine steam holes on either end of the frothing attachment are clean to achieve optimal texturing. • Press the POWER button. • The first step in making a cappuccino or latte is to make a short espresso. Refer to ‘Operating your Espresso Machine’, pages 14-16. • Then fill the stainless steel frothing jug 1.3 full with cold, fresh milk. • Turn the Selector Control to the ‘Steam’ position. The white steam light will start to flash indicating that the Thermoblock Heating System is heating and preparing to create steam. • For improved results, purge the steam wand of water before placing into the milk. NOTE: When the espresso machine creates steam, a pumping noise can be heard. This is the normal operation of the 15 Bar pump. • When the steam light stops flashing, quickly insert the steam wand into the jug of milk so that the froth attachment is just immersed into the milk. NOTE: If steam starts coming from the steam wand before it is immersed in the milk, pause the steam by turning the Selector Control back to the ‘Standby’ position. This will avoid the steam pressure blowing milk out of the jug. 19 HOW TO TEXTuRE MILK FOR A CAppuCCINO OR LATTE • When the milk starts to increase in volume, immerse the steam wand and/ or frothing attachm...
