Istruzzjonijiet Operattivi

Nagħmlu Espresso

1. Saħħan minn qabel: Ensure the machine is fully heated. The PID control allows you to select the pre-brew temperature for optimal extraction.
2. Ipprepara l-Portafilter: Grind fresh coffee beans to a fine consistency suitable for espresso. For best results with the non-pressurized filter, a quality burr grinder is recommended.


Immaġni: Close-up view of the 58mm portafilter basket filled with freshly ground coffee, ready for tamping.

3. Doża u Tamp: Fill the portafilter basket with the desired amount of ground coffee (e.g., 7-9g for a single shot, 14-18g for a double shot). Distribute the coffee evenly and tamp firmly with consistent pressure.
4. Waħħal il-Portafilter: Wipe any loose grounds from the rim of the portafilter. Insert the portafilter into the brew head and twist firmly to lock it into place.
5. Poġġi t-Tazzi: Place one or two pre-warmed espresso cups on the drip tray directly under the portafilter spouts. The machine features a cup warmer on top to pre-heat your cups.

3. Bastun tal-Fwar tat-Tneħħija: Before inserting into milk, briefly open the steam knob to purge any condensed water from the wand. Close the knob.
4. Ħalib bil-fwar: Insert the steam wand tip just below the surface of the milk. Open the steam knob fully. Angle the pitcher to create a vortex, incorporating air for frothing. Once the desired foam texture is achieved, submerge the wand deeper to heat the milk to temperature (around 60-65°C or 140-150°F).
