High Temperatures – risk of Burns

• The Design Espresso Advanced – Barista Edition is designed for brewing espresso and coffee. Therefore, some components, such as the group head, the portafilter and the steam wand become very hot during operation and hot water or steam escape.

• Do not touch during operation and shortly thereafter hot parts (eg. group head, porta filter, swivel steam wand with frothing attachment). Even after switching off the appliance and the corresponding parts are very hot for some time.

• Hot steam may escape or hot water may drip from the group head and the swivel steam wand. Therefore always ensure that the swivel steam wand points towards the drip tray when not in use. Never hold your hands or other body parts or moisture and heat-sensitive items onto or below the porta filter, group head, swivel steam wand with frothing attachment when the appliance is turned on.

• Always make sure that the porta filter inserted correctly into the group head before operating the appliance. When brewing the espresso high pressure is produced - risk of burns!

• Never remove the porta filter during brewing.

• Always wait until the appliance is cooled down to room temperature and empty the water tank and the drip tray before moving or cleaning the appliance. Grasp the appliance on both sides of the bottom of the appliance base (not the drip tray!) If you want to move the appliance.

single wall filters for Aspiring Baristas

Experiment with grind size, grind amount and tamp The appliance is supplied with two

Single Wall Filters - 1 x single shot and 1 x double shot. These filters provide no additional slowing of the water flow rate, hence experimentation with the grind size, grind amount and tamp force is required to achieve favorable results. These filters are suited to both pre-ground vacuum packed espresso as well as beans ground fresh in the integrated grinder. A great espresso is a balance of main flavor elements: acidity, aroma, bitterness, body, nuttiness, and sharpness. By using the Single Wall Filters you are free to explore the world of espresso by adjusting grind, grind amount and tamp to extract a rich variety of flavors.

sTep 1 – filling THe wATer TAnK

• Ensure the charcoal water filter is securely fitted inside the tank. Refer to ›Care and Cleaning‹, ›Installing the Filter in the Water Tank‹

• Fill the water tank with cold tap water to the maximum mark on the side of the tank and slide the water tank carefully back into position at the back of the machine.

• Plug the power cord into a power outlet.

• Press the POWER button to ›on‹, the POWER button surround will flash while the machine is heating. When the correct temperature has been reached, all the button surrounds on the control panel will illuminate.

sTep 2 - pre-wArming THe cups

This will help maintain the espresso’s optimal temperature when brewed into the cups.

• The cup warming plate will start to warm as the machine heats.

• Run hot water from the group head without the portafilter inserted by holding down the

-button on the front, right hand side of the machine, then place the cups on the warming tray.

note: Check the water level before use and replace the water daily. The water tank should be refilled with fresh, cold tap water before each use. Do not use mineral or distilled water or any other liquid.

sTep 3 – prepAring THe single wAll filTer

• Place the single or double shot Single Wall Filter into the portafilter. When brewing into a larger mug, always use the double shot filter and only extract 2oz. If you require a larger serving, add the hot water first and then extract the espresso.

• Preheat the portafilter by placing underneath the group head. Rinse with hot water from the group head by holding down the double shot button on the front, right hand side of the machine. Dry the portafilter thoroughly before use.

Unlike the Dual Wall Filters, the Single Wall Filters have no markings on the underside of the filter.

• Place the portafilter into the grinding cradle

• Press the FILTER SIZE button according to the filter size (single shot or double shot) you select.

53

sTep 4 – ADJusTing THe grinD siZe

• When setting the grind size it should be fine but not too fine or powdery. The grind will effect the rate at which the water flows through the ground espresso in the filter and therefore the taste of the espresso.

• If the grind is too fine (looks like powder and feels like flour when rubbed between fingers), the water will not flow through the ground espresso even when under pressure. The resulting espresso will be over extracted, too dark and bitter, with a mottled and uneven crema on top.

• If the grind is too coarse the water will flow through the ground espresso too quickly. This will result in an under-extracted espresso lacking in flavor and without the thick crema on the top.

sTep 5 – ADJusTing THe grinD AmounT

• When grinding for a Single Wall Filter using a finer espresso grind, you will need to increase the grind amount to ensure the filter is correctly filled.

• To increase the grind amount, turn the GRIND AMOUNT dial beyond the DUAL WALL setting to obtain the correct amount of ground espresso.

note: You may need to try step 4 and 5 a few times, slightly adjusting the GRIND SIZE and GRIND AMOUNT dials each time until you reach your desired combination.

sTep 6 – grinDing THe BeAns

• Fill the hopper with fresh coffee beans.

• Ensure the portafilter is inserted into the grinding cradle.

• Ensure the FILTER SIZE button reflects the filter size inserted in the portafilter.

• For Auto Start and Stop Grinding - push the portafilter in once to activate the grinding switch, then allow the portafilter to be filled with fresh ground espresso.

note: To stop the auto grinding midway through a grinding cycle, push the portafilter in once, or press the FILTER SIZE button.

• For manual grinding - push and hold the portafilter in until the desired amount of ground espresso has been delivered.

54 55

54 sTep 7 - TAmping THe grounD espresso

For ease of use, the appliance provides two handy ways to tamp your espresso:

1.

Tamper on Board: The tamper device is held in place, on the machine, allowing for convenient tamping.

a.

Once the grind function has been completed, remove the portafilter from the grinding cradle. Gently level the grinds in the portafilter with your finger.

b.

With the tamper fitted into place, lift the portafilter towards the tamper base c.

Push the portafilter upward firmly, applying even pressure to tamp the espresso d.

Release the portafilter from the tamper, and clean any excess ground espresso from the rim of the portafilter to ensure a correct fit into the group head.

note: Tamping between measures will create a layer in the ground espresso that can impede full extraction.

2.

Tamping control: The tamper device is removable for hand tamping. Remove the tamper from the machine a.

Once the grind function has been completed, remove the portafilter from the grinding cradle. Gently level the grinds in the portafilter with your finger.

b.

Use one hand to grip the tamper and the other hand to hold the portafilter handle

c.

Apply even pressure down on the tamper and press firmly in order to level and pack the espresso grounds d.

Lift the tamper from the portafilter, and clean any excess grinds from the rim of the portafilter to ensure a correct fit into the group head.

Trimming THe Dose

The Razor precision dose trimming tool allows you to trim the puck to the right level for a consistent extraction.

Insert the Razor™ into the coffee basket until the shoulders of the tool rest on the rim of the filter basket. The blade of the dosing tool should penetrate the surface of the tamped coffee. Rotate the Razor dosing tool back and forth while holding the portafilter on an angle over the knock box to trim off excess coffee.

Your coffee filter basket is now dosed with the correct amount of coffee.

55

sTep 8 - 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 9 – eXTrAcTing THe espresso

• Ensure all the button surrounds on the control panel are illuminated, indicating the machine 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 preset shot size on the front, right hand side of the machine is selected, the machine will pump water momentarily, followed by a pause then continue to pump the water through to the grounds in the portafilter. The ground coffee is moistened by a small amount of water before full extraction. This expands the grinds, resulting in greater pressure build-up to extract all the oils and full flavor from the ground beans.

THe ArT of TeXTuring milK

The appliance comes complete with a commercial style swivel steam wand.

• Fill the stainless steel frothing jug maximum ½ full with cold, fresh milk.

• Turn the steam selector dial to the Steam-position. The red steam light will start to flash indicating that the machine is heating to create steam.

• When the steam light stops flashing it is ready to use.

• Before inserting the wand into the milk, pause the steam by returning the dial back to the STAND BY-position. This will avoid splashing the milk out of the jug (this pause function lasts for 6 seconds before exiting steam mode).

• Insert the wand into the milk and return the Steam dial back to Steam-position.

• To stop, return the steam dial to the STAND BY-position and remove the jug.

note: When the espresso machine creates steam, a pumping noise can be heard. This is the normal operation of the 15 Bar pump.

note: After 5 minutes of continuous steaming, the machine will automatically disable the steam function. The steam light will flash. When this occurs return the steam dial to the

STAND BY-position.

58 59

58

wArning:

Milk should not be allowed torun over the top of the frothing attachment, otherwise it will not function properly. To avoid splattering of hot milk, do not lift the end of the frothing attachment above the surface of the milk while frothing. Ensure the steam selector dia is in the STAND BY-position before removing the frothing jug.

There are two phases to texture milk: Stretching the milk to aerate it and swirling the milk to make it silky smooth and the right temperature. In practice these two operations should blend into one.

sTep 1 - sTreTcHing THe milK

Hold the jug so the tip of the steam wand is just below the surface of the milk and with your free hand engage the steam. Every so often lower the jug so the steam wand just breaks the surface of the milk and makes a hissing sound. Stretching the milk will increase the volume, so lower the jug as the milk rises to ensure the tip remains just above the surface of the milk.

sTep 2 - swirling THe milK

After a short while you will have aerated sufficiently. At this point, adjust the jug so the steam wand is off-center and create a spinning motion in the milk. Compensate for the angle of the steam wand by slightly tilting the jug away from you, or to one side and at the same time lower the nozzle further into the body of the milk. Continue swirling until milk is at desired temperature. Without a thermometer you’ll know the milk is ready when the jug base is ›just too hot‹ to touch. When you get the balance right the milk should end up forming a ›meringue-like‹ consistency that has a glassy sheen to it. Remove any excess air bubbles by gently knocking the jug against a hard flat surface and pour the milk down the inside of your chosen cup or glass to make your desired espresso variation. Lastly, run the steam function briefly to remove any residual milk in the steam wand tip. Then give the steam wand a good wipe with a damp cloth.

note: If stretching makes a loud screeching sound, this may inidicate that you have lowered the wand into the milk too early.

note: Always ensure that the frothing attachment has been firmly pushed onto the steam wand and connects with the rubber surround. For best results use cold fresh milk. Always clean the steam wand and frothing attachment after every use. Refer to ›Care and Cleaning‹.

note: For extracting more espresso immediately after using the steam function, this machine features an auto-purge function. This ensures the ground espresso coffee will not be burnt by the initial water flow from the thermocoil being too hot. Instead this water is automatically released internally into the drip tray ensuring that the internal thermostat is at optimal temperature for extracting espresso. Your espresso will always be extracted at this optimal temperature ensuring only the best flavored espresso is achieved.

using HoT wATer ouTleT

Turn the STEAM/HOT WATER selector dial to the hot water position. The white steam light will flash to indicate the machine is heating to create hot water. When the steam light stops flashing, the hot water is up to temperature. To stop the flow of hot water, return the steam dial back to the STANDBY position.

espresso mAKing Tips

60 61

60 wArming Your cup or glAss

A warm cup will help maintain the espresso optimal temperature. Preheat your cup by holding down the one cup button and running hot water into the cups from the group head without the portafilter inserted and place the cups on the warming tray.

wArming THe porTAfilTer

A cold portafilter can drop the extraction temperature enough to significantly affect the quality of your espresso. Always ensure the portafilter is preheated by running hot water through it before preparing the espresso.

note: Always wipe the filter and portafilter dry before preparing the espresso as moisture can encourage drilling - this is when water bypasses the ground espresso coffee during extraction.

using pre-grounD espresso

If using a pre-ground espresso, ensure an espresso grind suitable for espresso / cappuccino machines is purchased.

THe rigHT meAsuremenT

It is important to use the correct filter for the amount of espresso. A single espresso is made with 8 g of ground espresso. A level measure of the coffee scoop is the correct amount of coffee for a single espresso and 2 level measures for a double espresso.

TAmping correcTlY

Level the desired amount of ground espresso by gently tapping the side of the filter holder before pressing down firmly with the tamper. When packing for a double espresso it is important only to tamp after the second measure. Tamping between measures will create a layer in the ground espresso that can impede full extraction.

note: Make sure to wipe off any excess ground espresso from the rim of the filter to ensure a proper seal is achieved under the group head.

purge THe group HeAD

Before inserting the portafilter, run some water through the group head. It will ensure that your machine has a last minute ‘clean through’ and stabilizes the temperature prior to extracting.

Brewing Your espresso

The most common mistake in brewing is to over extract from your ground espresso. This results in a bitter beverage with visibly bleached crema. Crema is the caramel colored layer that floats on top of the espresso following extraction.

note: The taste of your espresso will, of course, depend on personal preference and on many other factors such as the type of coffee bean used, the coarseness or fineness of the grind and the tamping pressure. We recommend experimenting by varying these factors to achieve the espresso taste of your preference.

note: Always properly clean your machine after each use.
