tExtURING MILk
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

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.

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.

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.

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.
