About espresso coffee  
Sunbeam’s extensive experience in designing  
quality, long-lasting appliances has enabled  
us to develop a range of pump espresso  
machines that are as beautiful as they are  
functional. As well as incorporating the  
learnings from commercial machines to  
ensure café quality coffee, ease-of-use was  
an important dynamic in the design of the  
Café Barista™.  
What makes a good coffee?  
Sunbeam has consulted with experienced  
coffee makers and appreciators of coffee  
through every stage of design, to ensure the  
machine delivers a great espresso coffee  
every time. There are many factors that  
contribute to the perfect coffee. The words’  
‘taste’ and ‘aroma’ are consistently used  
when describing the perfect cup.  
The Sunbeam Café Barista™ is automatic,  
completely removing any guesswork from  
making espresso coffee. At the push of a  
button the machine will grind the coffee  
beans, place the correct dose of coffee grinds  
into the filter, tamp it and pump the precise  
amount of water needed to produce a shot of  
espresso. As a result, each time you make an  
espresso with the Sunbeam Café Barista™  
you are assured a consistent taste every time.  
As coffee continues to be an integral element  
of Australian culture, the demand for the  
perfect cup is ever increasing. A growing  
favourite for coffee lovers in Australia, at  
any time of the day is the Caffe Latte. To  
accommodate these style of drinks, the  
height of the espresso pour spouts are  
adjustable. Ideal for all styles of cups – bring  
the spouts down for espresso cups and for  
those that prefer a Caffe Latte or a Long  
Black raise the pour spouts for taller cups.  
The sweet aroma and taste of the perfect  
espresso coffee is largely due to the  
correct combination of temperature and  
pressure during the brewing process. The  
‘thermoblock’ heating system ensures the  
water is at the correct temperature, so that  
the full coffee flavour is extracted. Secondly,  
the Italian made 15 BAR pump ensures  
the correct pressure at which the liquid  
espresso is released from the pour spouts.  
The pour should be steady and consist of  
both liquid and cream. This cream is known  
as the ‘crema’. The perfect ‘crema’ should  
be a golden colour and be thick and stable,  
preserving the coffee flavour, aroma and  
temperature.  
We hope you have many enjoyable coffee  
experiences with the Sunbeam Café  
Barista™.  
Should you need any further assistance,  
please don’t hesitate to contact the Sunbeam  
coffee hotline on free call 1800 025 059.  
Drinking authentic café quality coffee at  
home is guaranteed with a Sunbeam espresso  
machine. The simple to use design of the  
machine allows you to enjoy the sweet aroma  
and taste of the perfect shot of espresso with  
its signature golden crema every time.

Features of your Sunbeam  
Café Barista™  
One touch operation  
The Café Barista™ is an automatic espresso machine that takes the guess work out of making  
espresso coffee. It grinds the coffee beans, dispenses the ground coffee into the filter, tamps  
it and pumps water through to produce a consistent shot of espresso every time – all with the  
touch of a button.

‘Thermoblock’ heating system  
Ensures the precise temperature is achieved. As espresso is made with hot, rather than boiling  
water, the ‘thermoblock’ heats the water to 92°C (just below boiling point) for optimum  
extraction of oils from the coffee grinds. Temperatures above this will burn the coffee grinds.

Secrets to the perfect cup  
With a Sunbeam pump espresso machine  
and a little experience, you can create  
café quality coffee at home. As there are a  
number of possibilities for making coffee to  
meet your personal taste, following are a few  
helpful suggestions:  
• The origin of the bean and roasting will  
affect the taste of the espresso, so test  
different brands of coffee to find the one  
that you like best.  
• Always use the freshest beans or ground  
coffee available and store in an airtight  
container in a cool, dry, dark place.  
• Whole coffee beans stay fresh longer than  
pre-ground coffee.  
• Pre-warm cups prior to making an  
espresso, either by filling with hot water or  
placing on the warming plate.  
• Always use cold milk and a clean stainless  
steel jug when texturing/frothing milk.  
• Don’t boil the milk when steaming. The  
ideal temperature is when the jug becomes  
too hot to touch.  
• The grind of the coffee is critical. Vary the  
degree of grinding to find the right fineness  
for the coffee beans being used.  
• Once prepared, serve coffee immediately.  
• A regular shot of espresso, the base of all  
café coffees is approximately 30mLs. The  
shot of espresso is a concentrate; vary the  
quantity of milk to determine the strength  
and volume of the coffee. If you are using  
a large coffee cup or mug you may require  
a double shot of espresso, rather than just  
a single shot depending on your taste.  
• Keep the espresso machine clean.  
Familiarise yourself with the ‘Care and  
Cleaning’ section of this book.

Preparing your Café Barista™  
• Position the espresso machine onto a  
stable, flat, dry surface.  
• Insert the drip tray. Simply slide the drip  
tray into the base of the espresso machine  
until it clicks into place on the right-hand  
side below the water reservoir. See figure 3.  
• Attach the coffee bean hopper onto the  
espresso machine. With the hopper in  
hand, align the arrow on the base of the  
hopper with the ‘HOPPER RELEASE’  
position. When the hopper is sitting flat,  
push down and turn anti-clockwise so that  
the arrow on the base of the hopper meets  
with one of the other two positions;  
• Insert the power cord into a 230-240V AC  
power outlet. Then open the flap of the  
power cord compartment and stow away  
the remaining cable. See figure 4.

Filling of water and switching on  
your Café Barista™  
Prior to switching on each time, check  
whether the water reservoir is filled with  
water. Every time the appliance is switched  
on or off, it needs water for the Auto Clean  
cycle.  
Note: If the water reservoir is not correctly  
in position or if water needs to be refilled  
while the espresso machine is in operation,  
the water indicator  
illuminates. Making  
coffee will not be possible or the cycle will  
be interrupted.  
Filling the appliance  
Switching on the appliance  
• Slide out and remove the water reservoir  
from the appliance. See figure 5.  
• Fill the water reservoir always with fresh,  
cold water. See figure 6.  
Note: Fill only cold water into the water  
reservoir. Never fill with other liquids, such  
as mineral water or milk.  
• Replace the water reservoir. Slide the water  
reservoir in and press firmly into place to  
ensure that the valve of the water reservoir  
opens. See figure 7.  
• Turn the power on at the power outlet  
and switch the espresso machine on by  
briefly pressing the ‘POWER’ button on the  
control panel. See figure 8.

• When the espresso machine is turned on  
Figure 9  
it will go through an Auto Clean cycle.  
This removes any old coffee grinds from  
the coffee brewing unit.  
• During the heating procedure the  
temperature indicator flashes. When  
the operating temperature is reached, the

Determining and adjusting the  
water hardness  
Prior to first use the Café Barista™ should  
be adjusted to the relevant degree of water  
hardness for your region. Water hardness refers  
to the mineral content of your local water  
supply. You may determine the hardness degree  
using the supplied test strips.  
• Dip the test strip into cold water for 1  
second. Shake off the excess water and  
the degree of water hardness is determined  
according to the number of pink-coloured  
squares.  
• While holding down the ‘DESCALE’ button,  
press the ‘coffee strength’ button once  
and this will indicate the current setting  
for water hardness. Continue to press the  
‘coffee strength’ button until you have  
reached the desired level of hardness. See  
figure 11.  
The hardness degrees are indicated as  
follows:  
Hardness 1  
Hardness 2  
Hardness 3  
Hardness 4  
Hardness degree

Making an espresso with coffee  
beans  
It is possible to adjust the espresso machine  
Figure 12  
individually to suit your personal taste by  
adjusting the grinding degree and the amount  
of coffee beans to be ground.  
Filling the coffee bean hopper  
Note: Please ensure to fill the coffee bean  
hopper only with coffee beans.  
• Turn the hopper so that the arrow on the  
base of the hopper is aligned with the  
whole beans arrow. See figure 12.  
• Open the lid of the hopper and fill with  
fresh coffee beans. Then close the lid. See  
figure 13.  
Note: Make sure that no foreign matter, e.g.  
stones or wood chips, get into the coffee  
bean hopper as this can cause damage to the  
grinding mechanism.  
Figure 13  
• Set the grinding degree. See figure 14.  
Note: You may set the grinding degree of the  
grinding mechanism by using the ‘coffee  
grind’ lever. There are two ways in which the  
grinding degree can be set. The first method  
can only be used when filling the hopper  
with beans for the first time and you simply  
use the ‘coffee grind’ lever. Please note  
that at this stage the grinding mechanism  
is empty and at a standstill. At any other  
time however, once the grinding mechanism  
has been filled with beans you may only set  
the grinding position during the grinding  
procedure; otherwise the espresso machine  
may be damaged.

Milk frothing using the steam  
function  
The steam can be used for texturing/  
frothing milk or for heating liquids. As the  
temperature for generating steam must be  
higher than for making coffee, the espresso  
machine is equipped with an additional  
steam mode.

you may find it initially easier using the  
frothing attachment packed with the Café  
Barista™. Once you have had some practice  
in texturing/frothing milk, we recommend  
not to use the frothing attachment as you  
will have greater control of the texture and  
temperature of the milk.  
• Use fresh, cold milk and fill a stainless  
steel frothing jug to no more than ¹/ full.  
³
• The amount of milk you steam should be  
adequate for the coffees you are preparing.  
Keep in mind that the volume of milk will  
increase or ‘stretch’ during the texturing  
process.  
• Attach the frothing attachment to the  
steam arm.  
• Once you have activated the steam and  
inserted the steam nozzle into the jug,  
position the steam arm 1½ cm from the  
side of the jug with the tip of the nozzle  
just below the surface of the milk. The  
jug needs to be at a slight angle with the  
steam arm resting on the spout of the jug.  
This will create a whirlwind motion in the  
milk.  
Note: You should hear a hissing sound. If you  
are creating large bubbles, raise the jug so  
that the nozzle tip is lowered deeper into the  
milk.  
• Once you have activated the steam,  
insert the steam arm with the frothing  
attachment into the jug. Position the  
steam arm 1½ cm from the side of the jug  
with the frothing attachment completely  
immersed in the milk, so the tip of the  
frothing attachment is held just above the  
base of the jug.  
• Hold the frothing attachment in this  
position until the milk has stretched to  
double its original volume. Cease steaming  
when the frothing jug becomes too hot to  
hold your hand against it.  
• As the steam heats the milk, the milk will  
begin to rise. Follow the level of the milk  
by lowering the jug, always keeping the tip  
of the steam nozzle just below the surface.  
• Once the milk has stretched to double its  
original volume, lower the steam nozzle  
further into the milk and continue to heat  
the milk. This will give the milk a fine  
texture and not a mass of large aerated  
bubbles.  
• Cease steaming when the frothing jug  
becomes too hot to hold your hand against  
it.  
• With the frothing jug in hand, swirl and tap  
the jug until the milk becomes shiny and  
no bubbles remain, this ensures an even  
consistency. Pour the textured milk into  
your espresso as soon as possible.  
Important cleaning instructions for the steam  
nozzle  
The steam nozzle needs to be cleaned each  
time you steam milk. To clean the steam  
nozzle, wipe with a damp cloth.  
Note: Should the steam nozzle become  
blocked, using a pin or a thin wire, insert it  
into the hole in the base of the steam nozzle.  
Note: When using the frothing attachment,  
after use remove from the steam arm and  
clean with hot soapy water to prevent the  
build up of dried milk.

Hot water function  
The hot water function can be used for  
making tea, hot chocolate or other hot water  
drinks such as instant soups.  
Important: There is risk of scalding when  
the steam nozzle is in use. Hot water or  
hot steam can cause scalding. Only use  
the steam nozzle when holding a container  
underneath.  
• Place a cup or container under the steam  
nozzle and turn the ‘steam/hot water’  
switch up to activate the hot water. See  
figure 32.  
• As soon as you have dispensed the required  
amount of hot water, turn the ‘steam/hot  
water’ switch down into the ‘off’ position  
and then remove the cup or container. See

Grind setting selection and  
maintenance  
Important: Only adjust the fineness of  
the grind during the grinding process.  
Adjustments of the grind while not in use  
may cause damage to the espresso machine.  
Removing foreign matter from the grinding  
mechanism  
Foreign matter in the grinder, e.g. small  
stones or wood chips, may cause damage to  
the grinding mechanism.  
The Café Barista™ is designed with a ‘stone  
safety device’ which, in case of foreign  
matter, causes an even, loud rattling. If you  
should hear this noise during grinding, switch  
the espresso machine off immediately and  
remove the foreign matter as follows:  
Setting the fineness of the grind  
• With a cup placed under the espresso pour  
spout, press the  
one cup coffee button.  
While the grinding process is running,  
adjust the fineness of the grind using the  
‘coffee grind selector’ lever. See figure 40.  
Figure 40  
Cleaning the grinding mechanism  
• Switch the espresso machine off by  
pressing the ‘POWER’ button and unplug  
the power cord from the power outlet.  
• Turn the ‘coffee bean hopper’ to the  
position marked ‘HOPPER RELEASE’ and  
take it off. See figure 41.  
• Remove the any coffee beans in the  
grinding mechanism. We suggest using  
the cleaning brush supplied with the Café  
Barista™ (or, possibly a vacuum cleaner  
with a hose or nozzle). See figure 42. If  
any foreign matter cannot be removed,  
proceed with the next step.  
• Slide the ‘grinding mechanism release’  
button to the front in the direction of the  
grinding mechanism. Hold this position  
and turn the ‘coffee grind’ lever clockwise  
by approximately 1 revolution up to the

Care and cleaning  
Note: When the espresso machine is turned  
on it will go through an Auto Clean cycle.  
This removes any old coffee grinds from the  
coffee brewing unit.  
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.  
• Clean the drip tray, cup resting grid,  
coffee waste container and water reservoir  
with warm soapy water. Rinse and dry  
thoroughly, be sure to rinse the water  
reservoir with fresh water.  
• Remove the coffee bean hopper from time  
to time, dispose of the coffee residue and  
give it a wipe to remove the film of oil from  
the coffee beans.  
• Empty drip tray regularly. However be  
sure to take note of the red floating level  
indicator, once which appears through  
the cup resting grid, empty the drip tray  
immediately.  
• The steam nozzle and frothing attachment  
need to be cleaned after each frothing  
process. To clean the steam nozzle, simply  
wipe clean with a damp cloth. When using  
the frothing attachment, after each use  
remove it from the steam nozzle and clean  
thoroughly in warm water to remove milk  
remains. Additionally, should the air inlet  
at the base of the steam nozzle become  
blocked, open it using a pin or a thin piece  
of wire.  
Regular cleaning of the Café Barista™  
guarantees a constant coffee quality and a  
trouble-free operation.  
Regular cleaning  
Important: Switch the espresso machine off  
before cleaning. Let the espresso machine  
cool down. Do not use scratching, scouring  
or corrosive agents. Clean the housing inside  
and outside with a damp cloth only.  
Important: Never put the espresso machine  
or parts of the espresso machine into the  
dishwasher.  
Important: Never pour water into the coffee  
bean hopper as you will damage the grinding  
mechanism.  
Important: To prevent damage to the espresso  
machine do not use alkaline cleaning agents  
when cleaning, use a soft cloth and a mild  
detergent.

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.  
• 90mL espresso glass or demitasse cup  
• single espresso (30-35mL)  
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’.  
• 90mL espresso glass or demitasse cup  
• single or double espresso  
• marked with steamed milk froth  
LONG BLACK  
FLAT WHITE  
A standard espresso with hot water, served in  
a regular coffee cup or mug. The hot water is  
added first so that the ‘crema’ is maintained.

a regular coffee cup or mug. The layer of
