About espresso coffee  
The Sunbeam Café Crema® II utilises  
The sweet aroma and taste of the perfect  
technology and engineering from commercial  
espresso machines to ensure cafe-quality  
coffee in an easy to use design. With the  
Cafe Latte a growing favourite amongst  
coffee lovers the inclusion of the extra cup  
height clearance to the design allows the  
espresso to pour straight into a latte glass or  
your favourite mug. Constructed entirely of  
metal components, the robust design of the  
Sunbeam Cafe Crema® II is certain to create  
many coffees at home. Enjoy the sweet aroma  
and taste of the perfect shot of espresso with  
its signature golden crema every time.  
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 combination of the 15 BAR  
pump, dual-wall filter and stabilising baffle  
ensures the correct pressure at which the  
liquid espresso is released from the spout.  
The flow should consist of both liquid and  
cream. This cream is commonly known as the  
‘crema’. The perfect crema should be thick  
and stable and preserve the coffee flavour,  
aroma and temperature.  
What makes a good coffee?  
Sunbeam have consulted with experienced  
coffee makers and appreciators of coffee  
through every stage of design, to ensure the  
machine delivers a great shot of espresso  
every time. There are many factors that  
contribute to the perfect espresso. The words  
‘taste’ and ‘aroma’ are consistently used  
when describing the perfect cup.  
For more tips on how to create the perfect cup  
of coffee, turn to ‘secrets to the perfect cup’  
page 12.  
We hope you have many enjoyable  
coffee experiences with the Sunbeam Café  
Crema® II.

15 BAR pump  
Crema System  
The Café Crema IIis fitted with a 15 BAR  
pump delivering the pressure required for  
complete extraction of oils, coffee solids and  
aroma.  
The dual-wall filter creates additional back  
pressure and stabilising baffle produces a  
steady pour and maintains the temperature of  
the espresso.  
Thermoblock heating system  
Ensures the precise temperature is achieved.  
As espresso is made with hot rather than  
boiling water and 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 resulting in a bitter taste.

Secrets to the perfect cup  
With a Sunbeam pump espresso machine  
and a little experience, you can create  
café-quality coffee at home. Here are a few  
helpful suggestions:  
• The origin of the bean and roasting will  
affect the taste of the espresso, so test  
different brands and blends of coffee to  
find the one you like best.  
• If your espresso is thin and watery, tamp  
the coffee grinds harder, or try a finer  
grind.  
• Always use cold milk and a clean stainless  
steel jug when texturing milk.  
• Always use the freshest beans or ground  
coffee available and store in an airtight  
container in a cool, dry, dark place.  
• The grind of the coffee is critical. Vary the  
degree of grinding to find the right fineness  
for the coffee beans being used.  
• Whole coffee beans stay fresh longer than  
pre-ground coffee.  
• When grinding your own coffee, never grind  
more than you will use for immediate use.  
Once ground, the coffee will begin to loose  
its goodness.  
• Pre-warm cups prior to making an  
espresso, either by filling with hot water or  
placing on the warming plate.  
• A regular shot of espresso, the base of  
all cafe coffees, is approximately 30mls.  
The shot of espresso is a concentrate, so  
you will need to vary the quantity of milk  
and additional hot water to determine the  
strength and volume of the coffee. If you  
are using a large cup or mug you may  
require a double shot of espresso, rather  
than just a single shot depending on your  
taste.  
• Once prepared, serve coffee immediately.  
• Keep your espresso machine clean and  
thoroughly rinsed. Run water through  
the brewing head and flush the steaming  
nozzle in fresh water after each use.  
• Ensure your coffee grinds are ‘tamped’  
evenly. ‘Tamping’ refers to the amount  
of pressure with which coffee grinds are  
packed into the filter.  
• If your espresso pours too slowly, tamp the  
coffee grind more lightly, or try a coarser  
grind.

Easy steps for texturing milk  
Milk texturing is the steaming of milk to heat  
it and to create froth. Similar to making an  
espresso, perfecting the art of milk texturing  
takes time and practice.  
Important cleaning instructions for the steam  
wand/arm  
The steam wand needs to be cleaned each  
time you froth milk. To clean the steam  
wand, wipe with a damp cloth and rinse the  
froth enhancing attachment under warm  
water.  
Should your steam wand become blocked,  
supplied with your espresso machine is a  
cleaning wire, located under the base of the  
water reservoir (37).  
• 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.  
• Once you have activated the steam and  
inserted the steam nozzle into the jug,  
position the steam wand 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 wand resting on the spout of the  
jug. This will create a whirlwind motion in  
the milk.  
Insert the larger wire on the cleaning pin into  
the base of the steam wand (38).  
If the steam wand remains blocked, unscrew  
the steam nozzle from the steam arm. Clean  
the steam nozzle by once again using the  
cleaning wire and then flush under running  
water.  
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.  
• 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.

Before using your Café Crema II  
Before using your Sunbeam Café Crema® II  
for the first time or if you have not used it  
for some time, rinse the machine by running  
water through without coffee in the group  
handle, as follows:  
Note: Throughout these instructions the  
numbers you see highlighted and in brackets  
refer back to the diagrams at the start of this  
instruction manual.  
• To ensure that the group handle is in  
the correct position, turn the handle so  
it points to the left and place the group  
handle flat against the brewing head (8),  
then turn the handle towards the right (9),  
as far as it can go.  
Note: Do not over tighten.  
• Place a sufficiently large container under  
the group handle pouring spouts (10).  
• Open the lid of the water reservoir (1) and  
fill with cold water (2). Alternatively you  
can open the lid and remove the water  
reservoir using both hands (3). Then fill  
with cold water (4).  
• When the power button has stopped  
flashing and is completely illuminated, the  
machine is ready for the next step.  
• Turn the dial to the espresso (  
)
setting  
(11) and allow all the water in the water  
reservoir to run through.  
• If necessary, you may need to stop the  
operation by turning the dial to the off  
• Replace the water reservoir firmly into the  
unit (5) and close lid.  
• Insert the power plug into a 230-240V AC  
power outlet and turn the power ( ) on.  
Start the unit (6). The red power ( ) light  
will illuminate and flash to indicate it is  
warming up.  
• Place one of the filters in the group handle  
(7). Then position the group handle on the  
machines brewing head (8).

turning the group handle to the left.  
• To remove the used coffee grinds from the  
filter, simply turn the group handle upside  
down in a bin and gently tap out the  
coffee (20).  
Preparing an espresso:  
• Insert the power plug into a 230-240V AC  
power outlet and turn the power on.  
• Fill the water reservoir (1) (2), (3) (4) (5)  
with cold water and start the appliance (6).  
• Pre-heat your group handle by holding the

purging with water (14).  
• Pre-heat your coffee cups by placing them  
upside down on the cup warming plate (12).  
• Select the required filter (7) for 1 or 2 cups  
of coffee and place in the group handle.  
• Using the measuring spoon supplied, place  
one or two measures of ground coffee into  
the filter (15). With the other end of the  
measuring spoon, use the tamp to push  
(pack) down the coffee grinds (16).  
15  
Functions of your Café Crema® II (continued)  
• After each use of the espresso machine for  
best results when making consecutive cups  
of espresso we recommend that you flush a  
small amount of water through the machine  
with the group handle already removed  
from the brewing head. Simply turn the  
operating dial to the espresso setting and  
allow the water to run through until you  
have a consistent flow of water. This will  
wash out any old or used coffee grinds  
stuck to the underside of the brewing head  
and also help ensure the correct water  
temperature for your next shot of espresso.  
Tip: For best results we recommend using  
refrigerated milk and a stainless steel jug  
that is well chilled. Be sure not to rinse the  
jug with warm water before use.  
• Hold the jug under the steam wand so that  
the nozzle opening is completely immersed  
in the milk. Turn the operating dial to the  
(
) setting to activate the steam and  
commence texturing the milk (26).  
Tip: For instructions on how to froth/  
texture milk refer to section 'Easy steps for  
texturing milk'.  
• Lower the jug so that the tip of the steam  
nozzle is just below the surface of the milk  
and place your hand on the side of the  
jug (27).  
Note: The nozzle must not touch the  
bottom of the jug to ensure that the steam  
release is not obstructed.  
• Move the jug so that the steam wand is  
to one side, this will create a whirlpool  
motion to the milk. 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.  
Note: Do not leave the filter handle locked  
in position for extended periods, or when  
machine is not in use. This shortens the  
life of the brew head rubber seal.  
2. STEAM FUNCTION  
The steam function can be used for texturing/  
frothing milk.  
Important: There is a risk of scalding when  
the steam nozzle is in use. Hot water or  
hot steam can cause scalding. Only use the  
steam wand when it is immersed in the milk.  
• Fill the water reservoir (1) (2) (3) (4) (5)  
with cold water and start the unit (6).  
• Turn the dial to the pre-heat ( ) position.  
• Cease steaming when the jug becomes too  
hot to continue holding the palm of your

• Fill the water reservoir (1) (2) (3) (4) (5)  
with cold water and start the unit (6)  
(
) setting to clear any remaining milk out  
of the steam wand.  
Caution: Steam from the wand/arm is  
extremely hot and there is danger of scalding.  
• Turn the dial to the pre-heat (  
)
position  
(31).  
• The hot water button will illuminate by  
default.  
• Once the power button is completely  
illuminated, the machine has reached  
temperature and the hot water is ready  
to use.  
Note: Should your steam wand/arm become  
blocked, supplied with your espresso  
machine is a cleaning wire. The cleaning  
wire is located under the base of the water  
reservoir (37). With the cleaning wire insert it  
into the hole in the base of the steam wand  
(38). Should the steam wand/arm remain  
blocked, unscrew the steam nozzle from the  
steam arm (39) clean the steam nozzle by  
once again using the cleaning wire and flush  
under running water.  
• Place a cup under the steam nozzle and  
turn the operating dial to the hot water

finished (34).  
Note: Ensure you do not submerge the steam  
wand into the liquid. To avoid splashing,  
angle the wand to the side.  
17  
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.  
The brewing head, filters & group handle  
The filter and group handle should be washed  
after each use by rinsing them under warm  
water. Wash at regular intervals in warm soapy  
water using a mild detergent.  
Regular cleaning to remove these oils is  
essential for espresso machines to keep  
operating effectively. Flushing water, through  
the brewing head and the steam wand, is the  
easiest way to keep your machine clean after  
making each coffee, and at the end of your  
coffee making session.  
To clean the brewing head, flush water through  
and wipe the head and around the inside rim  
with a damp cloth.  
To assist in keeping the filter and the brew  
head clean, at the end of each coffee making  
session we recommend you run the machine,  
with the filter in place, without coffee – using  
water only.  
Important: Never wash your espresso machine  
accessories in the dishwasher.  
Should the holes in the filters become clogged  
with coffee granules use a fine bristled brush to  
remove them.  
Drip tray  
Remove the grid and drip tray at regular  
intervals to empty (41), (42). If the red floating  
level indicator appears through the grid, empty  
the drip tray immediately.  
Important: Should the filter remain blocked  
after normal cleaning, supplied with your  
espresso machine is a cleaning wire. The  
cleaning wire for the filter is located under  
the base of the water reservoir (37) with the  
cleaning wire insert it into the single hole in  
the base of the filter (40).  
Clean the drip tray and its grid 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  
d

Care and Cleaning (continued)  
Brew head rubber seal  
On a monthly basis we recommend thoroughly  
cleaning the steam wand.  
This seal is located in the brewing head and  
creates a seal against the filter handle when  
making an espresso.  
Note: When your Sunbeam Café Crema® II is  
not being used, we recommend that you do not  
leave the filter handle attached to the machine  
as this will reduce the life of the seal.  
To do this soak the wand/arm in water with the  
stainless jug resting on the drip tray. Ensure  
that the water level in the jug is over the wand.  
Run steam through the wand for 30 seconds,  
then leave to soak overnight.  
In the morning turn the machine on and run  
steam through the wand again for 30 seconds.  
Over time this seal loses its elasticity and  
will require replacement – usually every 6-12  
months. Signs that the seal is deteriorating are  
when: the filter handle rotates to the far right  
and feels loose, or steam escapes from around  
the brewing head during use.  
Important: Do not wash parts in the dishwasher.  
Do not immerse the unit in water.  
Important: Should your steam wand become  
blocked, supplied with your espresso machine  
is a cleaning wire.  
The cleaning wire for the steam wand is located  
under the base of the water reservoir (37).  
The cup warming plate and exterior  
With the cleaning wire insert it into the hole in  
the base of the steam wand (38).  
Wipe over the unit with a damp cloth and wipe  
dry. Do not use abrasives or metal scourers, as  
these will scratch the exterior surface.  
Should the steam wand remain blocked  
unscrew the steam nozzle from the steam arm  
(39). Clean the steam nozzle by once again  
using cleaning wire and then flush under  
running water.  
Steam wand  
The steam wand needs to be cleaned each  
time you texture milk or heat any other liquid.  
To clean the steam wand, wipe with a damp  
cloth and for the froth attachment, simply rinse  
it under warm water.  
Note: After each use we recommend that a  
small amount of steam is purged from the  
steam wand.  
19  
Descaling  
After continued use, your espresso machine  
may develop a build-up of mineral deposits.  
Thus your machine will require occasional  
‘descaling’.  
We recommend that you descale your machine  
every 2-3 months, although this period will  
depend on the hardness of water and frequency  
of use of the machine.  
7. Using a small brush, scrub in and around  
the area of the brewing head, removing all  
coffee granules.  
8. Wipe down the steam wand with a small  
brush.  
Note: Follow the steps on page 17 'Cleaning  
the steam wand' for a more thorough cleaning  
procedure.  
9. Turn the machine upright, so that it is now  
sitting correctly on the bench.  
Descaling solution  
Use Sunbeam Liquid Descaler, which is  
available at any Sunbeam Service Centre  
dissolve 3 tablespoons of vinegar in two litres  
of lukewarm water.  
10.Fill the water reservoir with water to the  
'MAX' line and add 1 capful of Sunbeam  
Liquid Descaler or, alternatively fill the  
water reservoir with the vinegar solution.  
Place the water reservoir onto the espresso  
machine.

Descaling (continued)  
17. After 1 minute, stop the machine by  
turning the operating dial to the off (  
position.  
18. Leave the machine off for 10-15 minutes  
to allow the descaler to take effect.  
26.When this is finished, remove the water  
reservoir and set aside. Remove the water  
containers and give the machine a good  
wipe over.  
27.Turn the machine upside down. The  
machine should now be on the warming

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’.

• single or double espresso  
• 90mL espresso glass or demitasse cup  
• single espresso (30-35mL)  
• 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.  
Another old favourite, the Flat White is  
an espresso with steamed milk, served in  
a regular coffee cup or mug. The layer of  
frothed milk on top should be 2mm to seal  
the coffee.
