An easy to use control panel enables manual
operation of espresso coffee as well as steam
and hot water functions. The user is also able
to personalise and save their own settings for
coffee temperature, steam temperature and
steam flow.
Pre-Infusion
Progressive pre-infusion is programmed
into the espresso operation. It is a gradual
increase of water pressure pre-soaking the
coffee cake before full water pressure is
applied. This in turn delivers greater body
and sweetness to the espresso.

before use
1.Place the espresso machine onto a dry,
stable benchtop.
5. Place glasses and cups on the warming
plate (8).
2.Ensure the drip tray and grill are in place.
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:
3.Fill the espresso machine with water. There
are a couple of ways in which the water
reservoir can be filled;
6.Fit the group handle with either the single
or double filter basket (9). Secure the
group handle to the group head (10) (11).
7.Place a sufficiently large container under
both pouring spouts (12).
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), then close
the lid.
b) Alternatively the water reservoir can
be removed and filled with fresh cold
water. To do so, ensure the group
8.Once the espresso machine is switched
on and heated, so the light behind the

handle has been taken out of the group
head and swing the steam wand to the
right, out of the way. Then using the
handle at the front of the water reservoir
simply slide out the reservoir from the
front of the espresso machine (3). Then
fill with fresh cold water or filtered
water (4). Replace the water reservoir
firmly by sliding it back into place (5).
4.Insert the power cord into a 230-240V
AC power outlet and switch the power on.

Guide to the perfect espresso
Preheat Glasses
Then without having made a coffee remove
the group handle (23) and inspect the top
of the tamped coffee - it should have only a
slight indent from the shower screen. Ideally
the top of the tamped coffee should be
fractionally below the shower screen and then
during the espresso pour the coffee cake will
expand up and onto the shower screen.
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.
Caution: The hot water will be close to boiling
temperature. Take care so as not to crack the
glasses or burn yourself.
Tip: The coffee dosage and the degree of
tamping should remain the same every time
you make a coffee. The only thing that should
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.
Note: If purchasing pre-ground coffee or
you have someone grind it for you, request/
purchase a very fine grind, the same that
would be used for a commercial espresso
machine.
Preheat Group Handle and Filter Basket
2.Select the appropriate filter basket and
place it into group handle (14).
Tip: Use the single filter basket for a single
serve of espresso and the double filter basket
for a double serve of espresso.
3.Take the group handle, hold it under the
group head and purge water. With the filter
basket positioned under the group head
press the 'COFFEE' button to start the
water flow and press it again to stop (15).
4.Dry the filter basket.
Tip: Ensure the coffee tamp is dry because if
it is wet the coffee grinds will stick to it.
Dosing and Tamping
5.Using a grinder or the measuring spoon
supplied, place the appropriate amount of
finely ground coffee into the filter basket
(16).
The Espresso Pour
8.Lock the group handle onto the group head
(19)(20).
9.Empty the glasses/cups and place below
the pouring spouts (21).
Note: Check to see that the espresso
machine is ready for use (see p7 Ready
Mode). Remember that if the ‘POWER’ light
is flashing green, this indicates that the
espresso machine is on and heating up.
10. Press the 'COFFEE' button to start the
espresso pour (22). Press it again to stop
the pour.
Important: Should coffee grinds come out
from the top of the group handle this is a
sign that the group handle has not been
firmly locked into position and/or the level of
coffee in the basket is too high.
6.Rest the group 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.
7.Brush any excess coffee grounds from
around the edge of the filter basket (18).
Important: Be sure to place a sufficient
amount of coffee grinds into the filter basket
without over dosing it with coffee. Once
tamped the level of coffee should be only a
few millimetres below the rim of the filter
basket. To check this, lock the group handle
onto the group head (19)(20).

Guide to the perfect espresso (continued)
Pre-Infusion
Eco Mode and Standby Mode
11. Once the espresso operation has been
activated, before the espresso pour starts,
the progressive pre-infusion feature will
release three short bursts of gradually
increasing water pressure onto the coffee
cake. After this, the full water pressure
is applied to the coffee cake and the
espresso will pour freely.
12. Check the espresso pour. The ideal
pour starts out dark and then soon
after becomes caramel with reddish
reflections. The pour should hang
vertically on each spout and flow slowly
like dripping honey.
After 1 hour of non-use in Ready Mode the
espresso machine will automatically switch to
Eco Mode. An indication that the machine is
in Eco Mode is the light behind the ‘POWER’
button will slowly flash red. While in Eco
Mode the machine uses reduced power and
maintains a lower temperature. While in Eco
Mode, the espresso machine functions can
easily be reactivated by simply pressing the
'COFFEE', ‘STEAM’ or ‘HOT WATER’ buttons.
The temperature of the espresso machine will
then adjust as necessary.
After a further 1 hour of non-use in
Eco Mode the espresso machine will
automatically switch to Standby Mode. The
lights on the control panel will all switch off.
To bring the espresso machine out of Standby
Mode simply press the ‘POWER’ button.
The machine will then power on and begin
heating up.
Tip: Once the espresso pour starts to lighten
in colour you should cut off the pour.
13. Serve espresso immediately.
Caring for your Espresso Machine
13. Remove the group 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
press the 'COFFEE' button and allow some
water to run through. Press button again
to stop. We also recommend that a small
amount of water is purged through the steam
wand after each use.
17
Guide to milk texturing
Milk texturing is the steaming of milk. The
steam does two things, heats the milk and
also 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.
Tip: Remember espresso is the foundation for
all espresso-coffee drinks and the milk is the
variable.
Before starting to prepare for milk texturing,
ensure the espresso machine is in steam
mode, so the red light behind the 'POWER'
button and green light behind the 'STEAM'
button are illuminated.
4. Swing the steam wand to the side of the
espresso machine (28).
5. Place the steam wand into the milk
so that the tip of the steam nozzle is
just below the surface of the milk and
activate the steam function by turning
the steam and hot water control dial anti-
clockwise as far as it will go (29).
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. The
nozzle should sit just off centre in the
milk. This will start to create a whirlpool
action in the milk (30).
Note: Should the espresso machine not be
in steam mode, simply press the 'STEAM'
button to activate (25).
Tip: It is recommended to use the steam
function after first making espresso or using
the hot water function. Making coffee in
this order will reduce any waiting time or
water usage while the machine adjusts to the
correct temperature.
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.
Note: How we introduce the air to the milk
will determine the consistency of the foam.
If we catch large gulps of air the quality of
the foam will reflect this by having large
bubbles. If we can introduce air to the milk
in a controlled gentle fashion indicated by a
gentle hissing sound the milk will have a fine
aerated bead in the textured foam.
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. This will create a
slight hissing noise.
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.
8. Close the steam immediately when the
milk is heated to between 60-65°C by
turning the steam and hot water control
dial clockwise (31).
2. Pour cold refrigerated milk into a
stainless steel jug, between 1/ to ²/ full.
³
³
Tip: Best results will be achieved by using a
clean jug and cold, fresh milk.
3. Purge the steam wand of any water.
With the steam wand positioned over the
drip tray activate the steam function by
turning the steam and hot water control
dial anti-clockwise as far as it will go
(26). Once any water has been purged
close the steam by turning the steam and
hot water control dial clockwise (27).
Tip: The optimum drinking temperature of
milk is between 60-65°C and we advise
you use a milk thermometer to achieve
18
Guide to milk texturing (continued)
the correct temperature. It's important to
remember that if the milk is not heated
long enough the drink will be too cool and
if heated for too long it will start to boil at
around 72°C and all texture will be lost.
Tip: If you don’t have a thermometer a good
indication that the correct temperature has
been reached is when the jug becomes too
hot to leave your fingers in contact.
9. Remove the jug, immediately wipe the
steam nozzle and wand with a clean damp
cloth (32) and purge a small amount of
steam.
10. With the jug in hand tap the jug on the
bench top to release the trapped air
bubbles. Agitate the milk as this helps
the milk and froth combine for an even
consistency.
Important: Do not boil the milk as the texture
and taste will be affected.
Note: After 10 minutes of non-use in
steam mode, the espresso machine will
automatically return to ready mode.
Using the hot water function
Caution: The water from the hot water nozzle
The hot water function is ideal for preheating
cups and glasses, brewing teas, preparing

plungers.
will be close to boiling temperature. Take
care as boiling water may scald. Additionally,
the wand will be hot and may burn.
When using the hot water function the
espresso machine needs to be in hot water
mode, so the red light behind the 'POWER'
button and the green light behind the 'HOT
WATER' button are illuminated.
3.Once you have dispensed the required
amount of hot water into the cup or
container, close the hot water by turning
the steam/hot water control dial clockwise
(35).
Note: Should the espresso machine not be
in hot water mode, simply press the 'HOT
WATER' button to activate (33).
4.Remove the cup or container and swing the
steam/hot water wand over the drip tray to
catch any drips of water (36).
1.Swing the steam and hot water wand to the
side of the espresso machine.
2.Place the cup or container under the
steam/hot water nozzle and activate the hot
water function by turning the steam and
hot water control dial anti-clockwise as far
as it will go (34).

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.

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 grinds use a fine bristled
brush to remove them. Also you can use
the cleaning pin which is supplied with
the espresso machine. The cleaning tool
is located under the top lid of the water
reservoir (39). The cleaning tool has two pins
at either end. One is the thinner and shorter
of the two and is for cleaning out the hole in
the filter basket. Insert the cleaning pin into
the single hole in the base of the filter (40).
Cycle water through the group head,
Purge steam through the steam wand,
Wipe the steam wand clean with a damp
cloth immediately after use,
Group head rubber seal
Remove the filter basket from the group
handle and clean away any old coffee oils,
and
The group head seal is located on the
underside of the group head and creates a
seal against the group handle during the
espresso pour.
Empty the drip tray and rinse.
Important: Never wash any of the espresso
machine parts or accessories in the
dishwasher.
Note: During long periods of non-use we
recommend that the group handle not be
left attached to the group head as this will
reduce the life of the seal.
Drip tray and grill
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 group handle
cannot create the necessary seal and steam
and/or water escapes from around the group
head during the espresso pour. Another sign
may be when the group handle locks off to
the right rather than the front.
Remove the drip tray and grill at regular
intervals to empty (37) (38). 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.
Group head, group handle & filter baskets
Note: Contact Sunbeam on 1300 881 861
should you think that the group head seal
needs replacing. Please do not attempt
to change the seal without first consulting
Sunbeam.
The filter baskets and group handle should
be rinsed with warm water after each use and
then dried thoroughly.
22
Care and Cleaning (continued)
Cup warming plate and exterior
Important: Never clean the steam wand with
an abrasive pad as this will damage the
steam wand.
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 become blocked,
supplied with the espresso machine is a
cleaning pin. The cleaning tool is located
under the top lid of the water reservoir (39).
The cleaning tool has two pins at either end.
The thicker, longer pin is for cleaning the
steam wand. Insert the cleaning pin into the
hole in the base of the steam nozzle (42).
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.
Steam wand
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.
The steam nozzle has been specially designed
to be perfectly smooth. This will help to
reduce build up of dried milk.
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, swing the steam wand
over the drip tray and turn the steam on for
approximately 10 seconds (41). With the
cloth still on the steam wand leave to sit 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.
2ꢀ
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.
Therefore the espresso machine will require
occasional descaling. It is recommended
that the espresso machine is decaled every
4-6 months, this will vary depending on the
frequency of use and water hardness.
2.Should the group handle be attached to
the group head remove it, rinse thoroughly
under running water and set aside.
3.Using a screwdriver unscrew the brewing
filter/shower screen from the underside of
the group head.
4.Remove and set aside the filter/screen,
washer and screw in a safe place.
Important: Be careful not to lose the filter/
screen, washer and screw once you have
disassembled the group head.
5.Using a small brush scrub in and around
the area at the brewing head, removing all
coffee grinds.
Descaling solution
Use any of the following when descaling the
espresso machine:
Sunbeam Espresso Machine Descaling
Tablets (EM0010)
Sunbeam Liquid Descaler (KEO100), or
6.Place a sufficiently large container under
the group head.
Vinegar Solution.
7.Insert the power cord into a 230-240V AC
power outlet and switch the power ‘ON’.
Press the ‘POWER’ button once to turn the
espresso machine on.
Note: Check to see that the espresso machine
is ready for use (see p7 Ready Mode).
Remember if the ‘POWER’ light is flashing
green this indicates that the espresso
machine is on and is heating up.
8.Press the 'COFFEE' button and allow half
the solution to cycle through the group
head and then once again press the
'COFFEE' button to stop the flow.
