KEY FEATURES OF YOUR ESPRESSO MACHINE ES 8011

Programmable Function

This espresso machine off ers a convenient choice between the Manual Operation or the intelligent Programmable Function that can be personalised with the user’s favourite espresso setting.

White Zone – Ideal Espresso

The gauge needle when positioned within the recommended White Zone during pouring indicates that the espresso will be produced at the ideal pressure. The brewed espresso should have a generous layer of fine textured and evenly coloured golden créma.

NOTE:

To help reach the white zone use the

Advanced Dual Wall Créma System Filters.

These filters are designed to intentionally slow the water flow rate during brewing allowing you to easily pour your espresso at the ideal pressure.

Espresso Pressure Gauge

The espresso pressure gauge assists in obtaining the most favourable extraction pressure, guiding the user to create their ideal espresso. This is achieved by measuring the pressure at which the water is being forced through the ground coffee in the filter holder.

Green Zone – Under Extracted

The gauge needle when positioned within the

Green Zone during pouring indicates that the espresso will be produced with insufficient pressure resulting in an ‘under extracted’ espresso.

This occurs when the water flow through the ground coffee in the filter is too fast. As a result the optimal flavour will not be extracted and the coffee will be watery and lack thick créma on the top. Possible other cause for under extraction are: coffee grind is too coarse and/or insufficient coffee in filter and/or under tamping.

Red Zone – Over Extracted

The gauge needle when positioned within the

Red Zone during pouring will indicate that the espresso will be produced with too much pressure resulting in an „over extracted“ espresso.

This occurs when the water flow through the ground coffee in the filter is too slow. As a result the coffee will be very dark and bitter, with a mottled and uneven créma on top. Possible other causes for over extraction are: ground coffee is too fine and/or too much ground coffee in filter and/or over tamping.

Hot Water Wand

The dedicated hot water wand is ideal for making your favourite hot drinks. For convenient use the wand has a commercial style 360° ball joint.

8

KEY FEATURES OF YOUR ESPRESSO MACHINE ES 8011

Commercial Style Steam Wand

The swivel-action steam wand, with stainless steel frothing attachment, easily adjusts to the perfect position for texturing milk. The wand has a commercial style 360° ball joint.

Advanced Dual Wall Créma System

Filters

Advanced Duall Wall Créma System Filters (one and two cup) are supplied with this Espresso

Machine.

The Advanced Duall Wall Créma System Filters are designed to intentionally slow the water flow rate during brewing, allowing you to easily pour your espresso at the ideal pressure, for the perfect créma.

The filters are suited to both pre-ground vacuum packed coffee and freshly ground coffee.

Electronic Temperature Control

The electronic temperature control system accurately maintains the optimal brewing temperature of the water. This helps ensure the user gets the best possible extraction each time an espresso is made.

Energy Saving Features

The Espresso Machine will enter the „Power

Save Mode“ if not used for one hour, and will automatically switch off if not used for a further three hours. The „Power Save Mode“ uses 45% less power than when the machine is in „Stand by“ Mode. During „Power Save Mode“ only the

POWER button surround will be illuminated. All other button and light surrounds will not be illuminated.

To re-activate the machine during „Power Save

Mode“, simply press the program or one-cup or two-cup buttons. The POWER button surround will then illuminate and flash while the machine quickly reheats to operational temperature. When the correct temperature has been reached, all the buton surrounds on the control panel will illuminate.

To switch off the espresso machine whilst it is in „Power Save Mode“, simply press the POWER button once.

OPERATING YOUR ESPRESSO MACHINE ES 8011

• As the water tank is removed, a black tube slides and extends out from the water tank storage area. Do not touch or try to remove this tube, it will automatically slide back into position when the water tank is re-inserted.

STEP 2 – PRE-WARMING THE CUPS

• The Cup Warming Plate will start to warm as the machine heats.

• Fill the water tank with cold, tap water to the maximum mark on the water window and slide the water tank carefully back into position in the machine.

• Pre-warm the espresso cups by placing on the Cup Warming Plate. This will help maintain the coffee’s optimal temperature when brewed into the cups.

• Ensure the Selector Control is in the „Standby“ position and plug the power cord into a 230 V power outlet and switch on.

STEP 1 – FILLING THE WATER TANK

• Ensure the Power button is in the „Off“ position and the Selector Control, on the side of the machine, is set to the Standby position.

• 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.

• Switch the machine off at the power outlet and unplug the power cord.

• Remove the filter holder if locked into the brew head and move the steam wand to the side of the machine.

• Remove the water tank by sliding out using the handle insert in the front of the water tank.

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.

OPERATING YOUR ESPRESSO MACHINE ES 8011

• Use 1 level measure of ground espresso coffee for the 1 cup filter and 2 level measures for the 2 cup filter. It is important to use the correct amount of coffee for each filter as the filter perforations have been constructed to utilise the pressure in the machine to extract optimal flavour with each brewing. (Refer to

„The Coffee Making Tip“, page 23).

STEP 3 – PREPARING THE COFFEE

• Place the 1 or 2 cup filter into the filter holder

(use the smaller filter for 1 cup and the larger filter for 2 cups). When brewing for a mug of coffee always use the 2 cup filter and only extract 60 ml. If you require a larger coffee, add the hot water first and then brew the coffee.

• Preheat the filter holder by placing underneath the group head. Rinse with hot water from the wand using the hot water function or from the group head and rinse with hot water using the manual pour function. Dry the filter and filter holder thoroughly before use.

NOTE:

When using a 1 cup filter holder, for optimal flavour, you should only extract approximately 30 ml. When using a 2 cup filter holder, for optimal flavour, you should only extract approximately

60 ml.

STEP 4 – TAMPING THE GROUND

COFFEE

• Distribute the ground coffee evenly in the filter and press down lightly with the tamping end of the measuring spoon. (Refer to

„Coffee Making Tips“, page 23).

• Clean any excess ground coffee from the rim of the filter holder to ensure a proper fit into the group head.

16


STEP 5 – PRIMING THE GROUP HEAD

• Before placing the filter holder into position, it is recommended to run a short flow of water through the group head.

• Place a container or empty cup under the group head.

• With the filter holder removed, prime the group head by pressing and holding down the single or double cup button for approximately 5 seconds. Refer to „Manual Espresso“, page 19.

A pumping noise will be heard during this operation, and water will run through the group head.

STEP 7 – BREWING THE COFFEE

• 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 filter holder are in place.

• Place one or two pre-warmed cups beneath the filter holder outlet.

PROGRAMMED ESPRESSO – ONE CUP

STEP 6 – INSERTING THE FILTER HOLDER

MANUAL ESPRESSO STEP 8 – EMPTYING THE FILTER HOLDER

Remove the filter holder from the group head by rotating the filter holder to the left until it releases. 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). Remove the filter by using the indents on the side of the filter holder. Rinse the filter and filter holder with water and allow to dry.

Press and hold the single or two cup button. Release the button once sufficient coffee has flowed into the cup.

WARNING:

THE METAL PARTS OF THE FILTER HOLD-

ER MAY STILL BE VERY HOT. COOL THESE

PARTS IN COLD WATER.

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 filter holder. 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 flavour from the ground coffee.

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.

NOTE:

When the espresso machine creates steam, a pumping noise can be heard.

This is the normal operation of the

15 Bar pump.

• Press the POWER button to „On“.

• The first step in making a cappuccino or latté is to make a short espresso. Refer to „Operating your Espresso Machine“, pages 15–17.

1⁄3 full with cold, fresh milk.

• Turn the Selector Control to the „Steam“ position . The steam light will start to flash indicating that the Thermoblock Heating System is heating and preparing to create steam.

The 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.

• For improved results, purge the steam wand of water before placing into the milk.

• 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.

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

20

HOW TO FROTH MILK FOR A CAPPUCCINO OR LATTÉ

• Hold the frothing jug at an angle so that steam wand and/or the frothing attachment sits just below the surface of the heating milk and the steam will move the milk around the inside of the jug in a circular motion.

• When the milk starts to increase in volume, immerse the steam wand and/ or frothing attachment deeper into the jug to heat the milk.

• Hold the jug at an angle with one hand and place your other hand on the outer base of the stainless frothing jug.

• When the base of the jug becomes too hot to touch, set the Selector Control to the

„Standby“ position, stopping the steaming function before removing the jug. A pumping noise will sound for a short time, do not be alarmed as there will be a five second delay prior to the machine carrying out the

Auto-purge function.

• Pour the steamed milk into each cup of freshly brewed espresso coffee and spoon in the frothing milk, in the following ratios:

Cappuccino – 1⁄3 espresso, 1⁄3 steamed milk, 1⁄3 frothed milk

Latté – 1⁄3 espresso topped with steamed milk and approximately 1cm frothed milk, traditionally served in a glass.

NOTE:

The espresso machine features a swivel steam wand assembly so the position of the steam wand can be changed to a comfortable angle.

WARNING: MILK SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO RUN 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 SELECTOR

CONTROL IS IN THE „STANDBY“ POSITION BEFORE REMOVING THE FROTHING JUG.

NOTE:

After 5 minutes of continuous steaming, the machine will automatically disable the steam function. The steam and hot water lights will flash. When this occurs return the selector control to the

„Standby“ position.

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 (low fat milk will froth easier).

Always clean the steam wand and frothing attachment after every use. Refer to

„Care and Cleaning“, page 25.

NOTE:

For brewing more coffee immediately after using the steam function, this machine features an auto-purge function.

This ensures that ground coffee will not be burnt by the initial water flow from the thermoblock 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 coffee. Your coffee will always be extracted at this optimal temperature ensuring only the best flavoured coffee is achieved.

HOW TO FROTH MILK FOR A CAPPUCCINO OR LATTÉ

USING THE HOT WATER FUNCTION

The espresso machine features a separate hot water function that can be used for making tea, hot chocolate and other warm drinks. The hot water is dispensed from the dedicated Hot Water Wand.

Place a jug or cup underneath the Hot Water

Wand to collect the hot water.

To use the hot water function, turn the Selector

Control to „HOT WATER“ . The hot water light

will illuminate when selected.

To turn the hot water off, turn the Selector Control to the „Standby“ position.

Limit the extraction of hot water to 2 litres each use.

The machine is not designed to make large pots of coffee and tea. The more hot water used at the one time, the cooler it becomes.

22

USING THE HOT WATER FUNCTION

NOTE:

After 2 minutes of continued hot water use, the machine will automatically disable the hot water function. The steam and hot water lights will flash. When this occurs return the selector to the „Standby“ position.

COFFEE MAKING TIPS

WARMING YOUR CUP OR GLASS

A warm cup will help maintain the coffee’s optimal temperature. Preheat your cup by storing on the cup warming tray or rinsing with hot water from the hot water wand.

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

PURGE THE GROUP HEAD

Before inserting the filter holder, run some water through the group head. It will ensure that your machine has a last minute „clean through“ and stabilises the temperature prior to extracting.

WARMING THE FILTER HOLDER

A cold filter holder can drop the extraction temperature enough to significantly affect the quality of your coffee. Always ensure the filter holder is preheated by running hot water through it before tamping it with coffee.

If the grind is too coarse the water will flow through the coffee too quickly. This will result in an under-extracted coffee lacking in flavour and without the thick créma on the top layer of coffee.

NOTE:

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

NOTE:

Always wipe the filter and filter holder dry before tamping with ground coffee as moisture can encourage „drilling“ - this is when water bypasses the ground coffee during extraction.

THE RIGHT MEASUREMENT

A single espresso is made with ¼ ounce or 7 g of coffee. A level measure of the tamp/spoon is the correct amount of coffee for a single espresso and 2 level measures for a double espresso. It is important to use the correct filter for the amount of coffee.

BREWING YOUR ESPRESSO

The most common mistake in brewing is to over extract from your ground coffee. This results in a bitter beverage with visibly bleached créma.

Créma is the karamel coloured layer that floats on top of the coffee following extraction.

THE GRIND

If using a pre-ground coffee, ensure an espresso grind suitable for espresso/cappuccino machines is purchased. If grinding coffee beans, the grind should be fine but not too fine or powdery. The grind will effect the rate at which the water flows through the coffee in the filter and therefore the taste of the coffee.

TAMPING CORRECTLY

Level the desired amount of coffee by gently tapping the side of the filter holder before pressing down firmly with the tamping end of the measuring spoon. 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 coffee that can impede full extraction.

NOTE:

The taste of your coffee 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 (pressed down). We recommend experimenting by varying these factors to achieve the coffee taste of your preference.

COFFEE MAKING TIPS

Cleaning

CARE AND CLEANING

CLEANING THE STEAM WAND AND

FROTHING ATTACHMENT

• The steam wand and frothing attachment should always be cleaned after frothing milk.

• Ensure the Selector Control is in the „Standby“ position. Press the POWER button to off, switch off at the power outlet, unplug the power cord and allow the machine to cool.

• If the Steam Wand remains blocked, use the pin on the cleaning tool to clear the opening.

• Remove the frothing attachment and rinse in warm tap water. Ensure the two fine steam holes on either end of the frothing attachment are clear. Use the pin on the cleaning tool to unblock these holes.

• Wipe the steam wand with a damp cloth, and then with the steam wand directed back into the drip tray, briefly set the Selector Control to the „Steam“ position .

This will clear any remaining milk from inside the steam wand.

• If the steam wand continues to be blocked, the tip of the steam wand can be removed by using the spanner in the middle of the cleaning tool.

• Soak the tip in hot water before using the pin on the cleaning tool to unblock. Replace the tip back onto the steam wand and secure with the cleaning tool.

CLEANING THE FILTERS, FILTER HOLDER

AND GROUP HEAD

• The stainless steel filters and filter holder should be rinsed under water directly after use to remove all coffee particles. Should the fine holes in the filters become blocked, the fine pin on the cleaning tool can be used to clear the holes.

• The group head interior should be wiped with a damp cloth to remove any ground coffee particles.

• Periodically run water through the machine with the filter holder in place, but without any ground coffee, to rinse out any residual coffee particles.

CARE AND CLEANING

CLEANING THE OUTER HOUSING/

CUP WARMING PLATE

• The outer housing and cup warming plate can be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth.

Then polish with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleansers, pads or cloths which can scratch the surface.

CLEANING THE DRIP TRAY

• The drip tray should be removed, emptied and cleaned at regular intervals, particularly when the drip tray full indicator is showing

„Empty Me!“.

• Remove the stainless steel grid and „Empty

Me!“ indicator from the drip tray, wash with warm soapy water, using a non-abrasive washing liquid, rinse and dry thoroughly.

The „Empty Me!“ indicator can be removed from the drip tray by inserting fingers into two holes in the corners and pulling upwards to release the side latches.

CLEANING THE STORAGE TRAY

• The storage tray can be removed after the drip tray is removed then cleaned with a soft, damp cloth (do not use abrasive cleansers, pads or cloths which can scratch the surface).

COFFEES TO TRY

ESPRESSO

Intense and aromatic, an espresso or short black as it’s also known uses about 7 g of ground coffee. It is served in a small cup or glass to a level of approximately 30 ml.

LONG BLACK

A long black is generally served as a standard espresso with hot water added to taste.

FLAT WHITE

A single dose of espresso in a cup topped with steamed milk, 1⁄3 coffee and 1⁄3 milk.

COFFEES TO TRY

CLASSIC CAFE LATTÉ

Traditionally the morning coffee of Italy and

France, taken with pain au chocolate or sweet biscotti. This blend of 1⁄3 espresso to 2⁄3 milk is made with a single shot of espresso. Top with steamed milk, poured down the inside rim of the glass to give a creamy consistency and perfect layer of froth.

CAPPUCCINO

The real thing is served very light and luke warm with 1⁄3 espresso to 1⁄3 steamed milk and a generous final third of creamy froth. For added finesse, hold a piece of card over one half of the cappuccino before dusting with chocolate.

MACCHIATO

A shot of espresso served short in a 70ml demitasse and stained with a dash of finely frothed milk.

COFFEES TO TRY

MOCHA FRAPE (serves two)

Ready in minutes this impressive refresher will delight chocolate and coffee drinkers alike. Melt two heaped teaspoons of quality chocolate bits into a double shot of espresso. Add ½ cup cold milk and 9 ice cubes and process in blender on a low speed to a smooth, velvety consistency.

Pour evenly into two glasses and serve immediately.

ESPRESSO AFFOGATO

Totally irresistible, this sweet temptation is simply a single scoop of premium vanilla bean ice cream, drenched in espresso and if desired, your favourite liqueur. To create a sense of occasion, serve ice cream in a martini glass with shots on the side.

CON PANNA

Meaning „with cream“ this heart warmer is a chic variation on old-fashioned Vienna Coffee. In a 90–120ml cup, dress a double shot of espresso with a dollop of fresh cream, whipped until glossy. Dust with cinnamon and serve immediately.
