Preparing your espresso machine  
before use  
1.Place the espresso machine onto a dry,  
stable benchtop.  
2.Ensure the drip tray and grill are in place.  
When the 'HEATING' light switches off,  
this indicates that the espresso machine is  
heated and ready to use (7).  
3.Fill the espresso machine with water. There  
are a couple of ways in which the water  
reservoir can be filled;  
Note: Before turning on the espresso machine  
ensure that the operating dial is in the off

a) Simply lift the lid of the water reservoir  
at the top of the espresso machine (1)  
and using a jug, fill with fresh cold  
water or filtered water (2).  
b) Alternatively the water reservoir can  
be removed and filled with fresh cold  
water. To do so, lift the lid and using  
it as a handle simply slide out the  
water reservoir (3). Then fill with fresh  
cold water or filtered water (4). Replace  
the water reservoir firmly and close the  
lid (5).  
5. Place glasses and cups on the warming  
plate (8).  
Important: For first time use or if the machine  
has not been used for some time, it is  
important that the machine is rinsed as  
follows:  
6.Fit the filter handle with either the one or  
two cup filter basket (9). Secure the filter  
handle to the group head (10) (11).

Guideto the perfect espresso  
Before starting to prepare for making  
espresso, ensure the espresso machine is  
switched on, to allow the espresso machine  
to heat up.  
vary is the coarseness of the coffee grounds  
and this will vary depending on the bean. For  
example to achieve a slower espresso pour  
rate use a finer grind and a coarser grind for  
a faster espresso pour rate.  
Preheat Glasses  
Tip: Ensure the coffee tamp is dry because if  
it is wet the coffee grinds will stick to it.  
1.Preheat the glasses/cups by filling them  
with hot water as this will assist to preserve  
the crema of the espresso. Set the glasses/  
cups aside.  
The Espresso Pour  
8.Lock the filter handle onto the group head  
(19)(20).  
Preheat Filter Handle and Filter Basket  
2.Select the appropriate filter basket and  
place it into filter handle (14).  
9.Empty the glasses/cups and place below  
the pouring spouts (21).  
Tip: Use the one cup filter basket for a single  
serve of espresso and the two cup filter  
basket for a double serve of espresso.  
3.Take the filter handle, hold it under the  
group head and purge water. With the filter  
basket positioned under the group head  
turn the operating dial clockwise to the  
espresso setting to start the water flow  
and turn it back to the off position to stop  
(15).  
Note: Check to see that the espresso machine  
is ready for use, remember that if the  
'HEATING' light is on the espresso machine  
is adjusting the temperature of the heating  
system.  
10. Turn the operating dial clockwise to the  
espresso setting to start the pour and  
turn it back to the off position to stop  
(22).  
11. Check the espresso pour. The ideal  
pour is dark and caramel with reddish  
reflections.  
4.Dry the filter basket.  
Dosing and Tamping  
12. Serve espresso immediately.  
5.Using the measuring spoon supplied, place  
finely ground coffee into the filter basket  
(16).  
6.Rest the filter handle with the filter basket  
in position onto the benchtop. Take the  
coffee tamp, apply firm level packing  
pressure (17), twisting 90 degrees to  
polish the grounds. This seals the surface  
of the coffee cake.  
Caring for your Espresso Machine  
13. Remove the filter handle from the group  
head (23).  
14. Discard the used coffee grinds from the  
filter basket (24).  
Tip: After each use of the espresso machine  
we recommend that a small amount of water  
is cycled through the group head as this will  
wash out any old or used coffee grinds stuck  
to the underside of the group head. Simply  
turn the operating dial to the espresso  
setting and allow some water to run through.  
7.Brush any excess coffee grounds from  
around the edge of the filter basket (18).  
Important: Be sure not to over dose the filter  
basket with coffee.  
Tip: The coffee dosage and the degree of  
tamping should remain the same every time  
you make a coffee the only thing that should

Guide to milk texturing  
Milk texturing is the steaming of milk. The  
steam does two things, firstly it heats the  
milk and secondly the steam mixes air  
with the milk to form an ‘emulsion’ of tiny  
bubbles that gives a silky velvet texture.  
Similar to making an espresso, perfecting the  
art of milk texturing takes time and practice.  
6. Angle the jug so that the steam wand is  
resting on the spout of the jug and lower  
the jug until the tip of the steam nozzle  
is just below the surface of the milk. This  
will start to create a whirlpool action in  
the milk (29).  
Note: Do not allow the steam to spurt  
unevenly or it will create aerated froth/large  
bubbles. If this is happening raise the jug so  
that the steam nozzle is lowered deeper into  
the milk. Remember the ideal consistency is  
a silky velvet texture.  
Tip: Remember espresso is the foundation  
for all café style drinks and the milk is the  
variable.  
Before starting to prepare for milk texturing,  
ensure the 'steam/hot water' switch in the  
steam  
setting.  
7. As the steam heats and textures the milk,  
the level of the milk in the jug will begin  
to rise. As this happens follow the level  
of the milk by lowering the jug, always  
keeping the tip of the steam nozzle just  
below the surface.  
1. Determine how much milk is needed  
based on the number of cups being made  
or the size of the texturing jug.  
Tip: Keep in mind that the volume of milk  
will increase or ’stretch’ during the texturing.  
8. Once the foam is created raise the jug  
until the steam nozzle is in the centre of  
the milk (30).  
2. Pour cold refrigerated milk into a  
stainless steel jug, between ½ to ²/ full.  
³
Tip: Store the stainless steel jug in the fridge  
so that it is well chilled. Also be sure not to  
rinse the jug with warm water before use.  
Tip: The amount of foam required will vary  
depending on the drinks being made, for  
example a cappuccino requires more foam  
than a flat white.  
3. Purge the steam wand of any water.  
With the steam wand positioned over the  
drip tray activate the steam function by  
turning the operating dial to the

milk is heated to between 60-65°C by

steam setting (25). Once any water has  
been purged close the steam by turning  
the operating dial to the off position (26).  
Tip: If you don’t have a thermometer a good  
indication that the correct temperature has  
been reached is when you are unable to leave  
the palm of your hand against the side of the  
jug for more than 3 seconds.  
4. Swing the steam wand to the side of the  
espresso machine (27).  
5. Place the steam wand into the milk so  
that the nozzle is about a centimetre  
below the surface and activate the steam  
function by turning the operating dial to

11. With the jug in hand tap the jug on  
the bench top to release the trapped  
air bubbles and then swirl the jug in a  
circular motion until the milk becomes

the milk and froth combine for an even  
consistency. By swirling the milk you can  
see the foam in the jug swirling with your  
movement this will enable you to judge  
the thickness of your foam.

ESPRESSO (SHORT BLACK)  
MACCHIATO  
Espresso is a concentrated, full bodied coffee  
with a stable layer of cream on top – known  
as ‘crema’. An espresso is the foundation of  
all café coffee. Variations are achieved by  
adding different amounts of milk and froth.  
Macchiato, Italian for ‘to stain or mark’.  
Traditionally served as a standard espresso  
with a dash of milk and a small dollop of  
froth into the middle of the ‘crema’.

Care and Cleaning  
The coffee making process involves extracting  
oils out of coffee grinds to make espresso  
coffee. Deposits of these oils build up over  
time and affect the taste of the coffee and  
operation of the espresso machine.  
Regular cleaning to remove these oils is  
essential and will maintain the quality of the  
coffee the espresso machine produces and  
result in less maintenance being required.  
This is easy to do by following a few quick  
and easy cleaning steps after each coffee  
making session;  
To clean the group head of any old coffee  
grinds cycle water through and wipe the  
group head and around the inside rim with a  
damp cloth.  
Should the holes in the filter baskets become  
clogged with coffee granules use a fine  
bristled brush to remove them.  
Important: Should the filter remain blocked  
after normal cleaning, supplied with your  
espresso machine is a cleaning pin. The  
cleaning pin for the filter is the GREY pin  
located under the base of the water reservoir  
(39)(40). With the cleaning pin insert it into  
the single hole in the base of the filter (41).  
Cycle water through the group head,  
Purge steam through the steam wand,  
Wipe the steam wand clean with a damp  
Group head rubber seal  
cloth immediately after use,  
The group head seal is located on the  
underside of the group head and creates  
a seal against the filter handle during the  
espresso pour.  
Note: During long periods of non-use we  
recommend that the filter handle not be  
left attached to the group head as this will  
reduce the life of the seal.  
Remove the filter basket from the filter  
handle and clean away any old coffee oils,  
and  
Empty the drip tray and rinse.  
Important: Never wash any of the espresso  
machine parts or accessories in the  
dishwasher.  
Over time the seal will lose its elasticity  
and require replacement, depending on use  
usually every 12 months. Signs that the seal  
is deteriorating are when the filter handle  
cannot create the necessary seal and steam  
escapes from around the group head during  
the espresso pour.  
Note: Contact Sunbeam on 1800 025 059  
should you think that the group head seal  
needs replacing.  
Drip tray and grill  
Remove the grill and drip tray at regular  
intervals to empty (36) (37). Clean with  
water and a little non-abrasive washing up  
liquid, rinse and dry.  
Over time it is normal for the inside of the  
drip tray to be stained by the oils in the  
coffee.  
Note: Ensure that when you are replacing the  
drip tray and grill that the plastic lining is in  
position (38).

Care and Cleaning (continued)  
Steam wand  
Important: Never clean the steam wand with  
an abrasive pad as this will damage the  
steam wand.  
Should the steam wand become blocked,  
supplied with the espresso machine is a  
cleaning pin. The cleaning pin for the steam  
wand is the BLACK pin located under the  
base of the water reservoir (39)(43).  
With the cleaning pin insert it into the hole  
in the base of the steam nozzle (44). Should  
the steam wand remain blocked unscrew the  
steam nozzle from the steam wand. Clean  
the steam nozzle by once again using the  
cleaning pin then flush under running water.  
Keeping the steam arm clean is essential  
to ensure maximum efficiency of the steam  
function. A build up of caramelised/dried  
milk on the steam wand will impair the  
steaming and texturing ability of the espresso  
machine.  
Important: Wipe the steam wand clean with a  
damp cloth immediately after each use and  
purge a small amount of steam.  
Should the milk dry/caramelise on the  
steam wand, simply wrap the wand with  
a clean damp cloth, turn the steam wand  
over the drip tray and turn the steam on for  
approximately 10 seconds (42). With the  
cloth still on the steam wand leave to soak  
for about 5 minutes and you will find that  
after this time the dry/caramelised milk will  
easily wipe away. Repeat process if still dirty.

Descaling  
Scale is a surface build up of minerals that  
naturally occur over time in all appliances  
that are involved with the heating of water.

occasional descaling. It is recommended  
that the espresso machine is descaled every  
4-6 months, this will vary depending on the  
frequency of use.  
2.Should the filter handle be attached to  
the group head remove it, rinse thoroughly  
under running water and set aside.

1.5 litres of water, add 1 capful of  
Sunbeam Liquid Descaler and replace the  
reservoir.  
Note: Depending on the size of the container  
under the group head on occasion this may  
need to be emptied throughout this process.
