 With \f \bunbe\fm pump espresso m\fchine 
\fnd \f little experience, you c\fn cre\fte   
c\ffé-qu\flity coffee \ft home. Here \fre \f few 
helpful suggestions:
•  The origin of the be\fn \fnd ro\fsting will 
\fffect the t\fste of the espresso, so test 
different br\fnds \fnd blends of coffee to 
find the one you like best.
•  The grind of the coffee is critic\fl. V\fry the 
degree of grinding to find the right fineness 
for the coffee be\fns being used.
•  A regul\fr shot of espresso, the b\fse of 
\fll c\ffe coffees, is \fpproxim\ftely 30mls. 
The shot of espresso is \f concentr\fte, so 
you will need to v\fry the qu\fntity of milk 
\fnd \fddition\fl hot w\fter to determine the 
strength \fnd volume of the coffee. If you 
\fre using \f l\frge cup or mug you m\fy 
require \f double shot of espresso, r\fther 
th\fn just \f single shot depending on your 
t\fste.
•  Ensure your coffee grinds \fre ‘t\fmped’ 
evenly. ‘T\fmping’ refers to the \fmount 
of pressure with which coffee grinds \fre 
p\fcked into the filter.
•  If your espresso pours too slowly, t\fmp the 
coffee grind more lightly, or try \f co\frser 
grind. •
 If your espresso is thin \fnd w\ftery, t\fmp 
the coffee grinds h\frder, or try \f finer 
grind.
•  Alw\fys use cold milk \fnd \f cle\fn st\finless 
steel jug when texturing milk.
•  Alw\fys use the freshest be\fns or ground 
coffee \fv\fil\fble \fnd store in \fn \firtight 
cont\finer in \f cool, dry, d\frk pl\fce.
•    Whole coffee be\fns st\fy fresh longer th\fn 
pre-ground coffee.
•    When grinding your own coffee, never grind 
more th\fn you will use for immedi\fte use.  
Once ground, the coffee will begin to loose 
its goodness.
•    Pre-w\frm cups prior to m\fking \fn 
espresso, either by filling with hot w\fter or 
pl\fcing on the w\frming pl\fte.
•  Once prep\fred, serve coffee immedi\ftely.
•  Keep your espresso m\fchine cle\fn \fnd 
thoroughly rinsed. Run w\fter through 
the brewing he\fd \fnd flush the ste\fming 
nozzle in fresh w\fter \ffter e\fch use.

Milk texturing is the ste\fming of milk to he\ft 
it \fnd to cre\fte froth. \bimil\fr to m\fking \fn 
espresso, perfecting the \frt of milk texturing 
t\fkes time \fnd pr\fctice.
•  Use fresh, cold milk \fnd fill \f st\finless 
steel frothing jug to no more th\fn  ¹/
³ full.
•   The \fmount of milk you ste\fm should be 
\fdequ\fte for the coffees you \fre prep\fring. 
Keep in mind th\ft the volume of milk will 
incre\fse or ‘stretch’ during the texturing 
process.
•   Once you h\fve \fctiv\fted the ste\fm \fnd 
inserted the ste\fm nozzle into the jug, 
position the ste\fm w\fnd 1½ cm from the 
side of the jug with the tip of the nozzle 
just below the surf\fce of the milk. The 
jug needs to be \ft \f slight \fngle with the 
ste\fm w\fnd resting on the spout of the 
jug. This will cre\fte \f whirlwind motion in 
the milk.
Note:  You should he\fr \f hissing sound. If you 
\fre cre\fting l\frge bubbles, r\fise the jug so 
th\ft the nozzle tip is lowered deeper into the 
milk.
•   As the ste\fm he\fts the milk, the milk will 
begin to rise. Follow the level of the milk 
by lowering the jug, \flw\fys keeping the tip 
of the ste\fm nozzle just below the surf\fce.
•   Once the milk h\fs stretched to double its 
origin\fl volume, lower the ste\fm nozzle 
further into the milk \fnd continue to he\ft 
the milk. This will give the milk \f fine 
texture \fnd not \f m\fss of l\frge \fer\fted 
bubbles.
•   Ce\fse ste\fming when the frothing jug 
becomes too hot to hold your h\fnd \fg\finst 
it.
•   With the frothing jug in h\fnd, swirl \fnd t\fp 
the jug until the milk becomes shiny \fnd 
no bubbles rem\fin, this ensures \fn even 
consistency. Pour the textured milk into 
your espresso \fs soon \fs possible. Impo\ftant cleaning inst\fuctions fo\f the steam 
wand/a\fm
The ste\fm w\fnd needs to be cle\fned e\fch 
time you froth milk. To cle\fn the ste\fm 
w\fnd, wipe with \f d\fmp cloth \fnd rinse the 
froth enh\fncing \ftt\fchment under w\frm 
w\fter.
\bhould your ste\fm w\fnd become blocked, 
supplied with your espresso m\fchine is \f 
cle\fning wire, loc\fted under the b\fse of the 
w\fter reservoir 
(37).
Insert the l\frger wire on the cle\fning pin into 
the b\fse of the ste\fm w\fnd  (3\f).
If the ste\fm w\fnd rem\fins blocked, unscrew 
the ste\fm nozzle from the ste\fm \frm . Cle\fn 
the ste\fm nozzle by once \fg\fin using the 
cle\fning wire \fnd then flush under running 
w\fter.

•   After e\fch use of the espresso m\fchine for 
best results when m\fking consecutive cups 
of espresso we recommend th\ft you flush \f 
sm\fll \fmount of w\fter through the m\fchine 
with the group h\fndle \flre\fdy removed 
from the brewing he\fd. \bimply turn the 
oper\fting di\fl to the espresso setting \fnd 
\fllow the w\fter to run through until you 
h\fve \f consistent flow of w\fter. This will 
w\fsh out \fny old or used coffee grinds 
stuck to the underside of the brewing he\fd 
\fnd \flso help ensure the correct w\fter 
temper\fture for your next shot of espresso.
  Note:  Do not le\fve the filter h\fndle locked 
in position for extended periods, or when 
m\fchine is not in use. This shortens the 
life of the brew he\fd rubber se\fl.
2. STE\bM FUNCTION
The ste\fm function c\fn be used for texturing/
frothing milk. 
Important:  There is \f risk of sc\flding when 
the ste\fm nozzle is in use. Hot w\fter or 
hot ste\fm c\fn c\fuse sc\flding. Only use the 
ste\fm w\fnd when it is immersed in the milk.
