AUto PURGE  
NotE  
During extraction, the gauge needle when  
positioned in the lower zone, indicates  
the espresso has been extracted with  
insufficient pressure.  
The Infuser™ comes with a commercial style  
steam wand.  
For extracting espresso immediately after  
using the steam function, this machine  
features an auto-purge function.  
The auto purge function ensures the  
ground coffee will not be burnt by the  
initial water flow from the thermocoil being  
too hot. The water is automatically released  
internally into the drip tray ensuring that  
the thermocoil is at optimal temperature  
for extracting espresso  
After 5 minutes of continuous  
steaming, the machine will  
automatically disable the steam  
function. The STEAM/HOTWATER  
light will flash. When this occurs  
return the steam dial to the STANDBY  
position.  
tExtURING MILk  
Turn the STEAM/HOT WATER  
selector dial to the steam position.  
The STEAM/HOT WATER light will  
flash to indicate the machine is heating  
to create steam.  
Hot WAtER  
your espresso will always be extracted at  
the optimal temperature ensuring only the  
best flavours are extracted.  
This occurs when the water flow through  
the ground coffee is too fast and results in  
an under extracted espresso that is watery  
and lacks crema and flavour.  
Causes for under extraction include the grind  
being too coarse and/or insufficient coffee in  
filter and/or under tamping.  
When the STEAM/HOT WATER light  
stops flashing the steam wand is ready  
for use.  
Before inserting the steam wand into  
the milk, pause the steam by returning  
the dial back to the STANDBy position.  
This will avoid the milk splashing out of  
the jug (this pause function lasts for 6  
seconds before exiting steam mode).  
Turn the STEAM/HOT WATER selector  
dial to the Hot Water position.  
ovER ExtRACtEd ZoNE  
To stop the hot water, return the  
STEAM/HOT WATER dial to the  
STANDBy position.  
The gauge needle, when positioned in the  
upper zone during extraction, indicates the  
espresso has been extracted with too much  
pressure.  
Insert the wand into the milk and return  
the dial back to the steam position to  
texture milk.  
To stop the steam return the Steam dial  
to the STANDBy position and remove  
the jug.  
NotE  
This occurs when the water flow through the  
ground coffee is too slow and results in an  
over extracted espresso that is very dark and  
bitter with a mottled and uneven crema.  
When the espresso machine creates  
steam, a pumping noise can be heard.  
This is the normal operation of the  
15 bar Italian pump.  
Causes for over extraction include the grind  
being too fine and/or too much ground  
coffee in filter and/or over tamping.

Heating your cup or glass  
The Dual Wall filters (1 & 2 CUP) are  
designed to be used with pre-ground coffee  
and regulate the pressure to help optimise  
extraction regardless of the grind, dose or  
tamp pressure.  
A warm cup will help maintain the coffee’s  
optimal temperature. Preheat your cup by  
rinsing with hot water and place on the cup  
warming tray.  
Heating the portafilter and filter basket  
A cold portafilter and filter basket can  
reduce the extraction temperature enough  
to significantly affect the quality of your  
espresso. Ensure the portafilter and filter  
basket are preheated with hot water before  
initial use.  
NotE  
Wipe the filter and portafilter dry  
before dosing with ground coffee as  
moisture can encourage ‘channeling’  
where water by-passes the ground  
coffee during extraction.  
The Dual Wall filters have DUAL WALL  
stamped on the underside of the filter.  
tHE GRINd  
If grinding coffee beans, the grind size  
should be fine but not too fine. The grind  
size will affect the rate at which the water  
flows through the ground coffee in the filter  
basket and 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  
coffee when under pressure. The resulting  
espresso will be OVER EXTRACTED, dark  
in colour and bitter in flavour  
SINGLE WALL FILtERS  
The Single Wall filters (1 & 2 CUP) are  
designed to be used with freshly ground  
coffee and allow you to experiment with  
grind, dose, and tamp to create a more  
balanced espresso.  
If the grind is too coarse the water will  
flow through the ground coffee in the filter  
basket too quickly. The resulting espresso  
will be UNDER EXTRACTED lacking in  
colour and flavour.  
The Single Wall filters have no markings on  
the underside of the filter.

The Razor™ precision dose trimming tool  
allows you to trim the puck to the right level  
for a consistent extraction.  
There are two phases to texturing milk. The  
first is stretching the milk to aerate it and  
the second is swirling the milk to make it  
silky smooth. These two operations should  
blend into one.  
Before placing the portafilter into the  
group head, run a short flow of water  
through the group head by pressing  
the 1 CUP or 2 CUP button. This  
will purge any ground coffee residue  
from the group head and stabilise the  
temperature prior to extraction.  
Wipe coffee basket with a dry cloth.  
If using Single Wall filter baskets,  
grind enough coffee to fill the coffee  
basket. you may need to experiment  
with the amount of coffee to achieve  
the correct dose.  
Always start with fresh cold milk.  
the Razor  
Precision dose trimming tool  
Fill the jug just below the V at the  
bottom of the spout.  
Tap the portafilter several times to  
distribute the coffee evenly in the  
filter basket.  
INSERtING tHE PoRtAFILtER  
Position the steam tip over the drip tray  
and turn on the steam system, purging  
any condensed water.  
Place the portafilter underneath the group  
head so that the handle is aligned with  
the INSERT position. Insert the portafilter  
into the group head and rotate the handle  
towards the centre until resistance is felt.  
Tamp down firmly (using approx.  
15-20kgs of pressure). The amount  
of pressure is not as important as  
consistent pressure every time.  
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.  
Turn the steam dial to the STANDBy  
position, insert steam wand tip into milk  
and turn dial back to STEAM position.  
Insert the steam tip 1-2cm below  
the surface of the milk close to the  
right hand side of the jug at the  
3 o’clock position.  
ExtRACtING ESPRESSo  
Place pre-warmed cup(s) beneath the  
portafilter and press the 1 CUP or  
2 CUP button for the required volume.  
As a guide, the espresso will start  
to flow after 8-10 seconds (infusion  
time) and should be the consistency  
of dripping honey.  
Keep the tip just under the surface of the  
milk until the milk is spinning clockwise,  
producing a vortex (whirlpool effect).  
If the espresso starts to flow before  
6 seconds you have either under dosed  
the filter basket and/or the grind is too  
coarse. This is an UNDER-EXTRACTED  
shot.  
If the espresso starts to drip but doesn’t  
flow after 15 seconds, then you have  
either over dosed the filter basket  
and/or the grind is too fine. This is an  
OVER-EXTRACTED shot.  
As a guide to dose, the top edge of the  
metal cap on the tamper should be level  
with the top of the filter basket AFTER the  
coffee has been tamped.  
Wipe excess coffee from the rim of the  
filter basket to ensure a proper seal in  
the group head is achieved.  
your coffee filter basket is now dosed with  
the correct amount of coffee.  
A great espresso is about achieving the  
perfect balance between sweetness, acidity  
and bitterness.  
The flavour of your coffee will depend on  
many factors, such as the type of coffee  
beans, degree of roast, freshness, coarseness  
or fineness of the grind, dose of ground  
coffee, and tamping pressure.  
With the milk spinning, slowly lower the  
jug. This will bring the steam tip to the  
surface of the milk & start to introduce  
air into the milk. you may have to gently  
break the surface of the milk with the tip  
to get the milk spinning fast enough.

a damp cloth.  
Tap the jug on the bench to collapse  
any bubbles.  
Swirl the jug to polish and re-integrate

Pour milk directly into the espresso.  
The key is to work quickly, before the  
milk begins to separate.  
HINtS & tIPS  
1. Use freshly roasted coffee beans,  
with a ‘roasted on’ date and use  
within 2 weeks of ‘roasted on’ date.  
2. Grind beans immediately before  
brewing as ground coffee quickly  
loses its flavour and aroma.  
3. Store coffee beans in a cool,  
dark and dry container. Vacuum  
seal if possible.  
4. Buy coffee beans in small batches  
to reduce the storage time and store  
no more than one weeks supply at  
any time.

The water filter provided helps to prevent  
scale build up which over time can affect the  
performance of your machine, potentially  
causing blockages and heating, problems  
Replacing the water filter every two months  
will reduce the need to de-scale the machine.  
If you live in a hard water area, we  
recommend you change the water filter  
more frequently.

dECALCIFyING tHE MACHINE  
After regular use, hard water can cause  
mineral build up in and on many of the  
inner functioning components, reducing  
the brewing flow, power of the machine,  
and affecting the quality of coffee.  
We advise decalcifying the machine on a  
regular basis (every 2-3 months) using a  
mixture of white vinegar and water.  
Remove the portafilter. Pour the mixture  
of white vinegar and water into the  
water tank.  
Plug the machine into the power outlet  
and switch On.  
Press the POWER button to the  
On position.  
Place a large container under the  
group head and steam wand.  
When the brewing temperature has  
been reached all the button surrounds  
on the control panel will illuminate.  
Press and hold the 1 CUP or 2 CUP  
button to commence manual pour.  
Release the button once half the mixture  
of white vinegar and water has run  
through the group head.  
Set the STEAM/HOT WATER dial to  
the STEAM position and allow steam  
to run through the Steam Wand for  
approximately 2 minutes. Return the  
steam dial back to the STANDBy position.
