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  
Sunbeam Intuitive Digital.  
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 Intuitive Digital 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 Intuitive Digital  
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 Intuitive  
Digital.  
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.

Thermoblock Heating System  
The Sunbeam Intuitive Digital 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.  
The thermoblock heating system heats the  
water ensuring the precise temperature is  
achieved for each function. Additionally,  
the thermoblock is coated with non-stick  
material to slow scale build up and reduce  
the frequency of cleaning required.  
15 Bar Pump  
Italian designed and manufactured, the  
machine is fitted with a 15 BAR pump  
delivering the pressure required for a  
complete extraction of oils, coffee solids and  
aroma.

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:  
• 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.  
• 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 cold milk and a clean stainless  
steel jug when texturing/frothing milk.  
• The grind of the coffee is critical. Vary the  
degree of grinding to find the right fineness  
for the coffee beans being used.  
• Don’t boil the milk when steaming. The  
ideal temperature is when the jug becomes  
too hot to touch.  
• 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.  
• Once prepared, serve coffee immediately.  
• Keep the espresso machine clean.  
Familiarise yourself with the ‘Care and  
Cleaning’ section of this book.

Milk frothing  
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.  
Figure 26  
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 it is immersed in the  
milk.  
• When wanting to froth milk, press the  
steam pre-selection button on the control  
panel, see figure 26. The  
steam pre-

mode.  
• Pour cold milk into a stainless steel jug to  
no more than ¹/ full.  
³
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.

Milk frothing (continued)  
• Swing the steam nozzle out to the side of  
the machine and hold the jug under the  
steam nozzle so that the nozzle opening is  
completely immersed in the milk. Turn the  
‘steam/hot water’ switch up to activate the  
steam and commence frothing the milk.  
See figure 27.  
• Exit the steam mode by pressing the  
steam pre-selection button, the indicator  
light will turn off and the appliance is now  
ready again for making coffee.  
See figure 26.  
Tip: After steaming and the steam mode has  
been deselected on the control panel, turn  
the ‘steam/hot water’ switch up and allow hot  
water to run out for a couple of seconds.  
LCD: Indicates <<STEAM>>.  
Tip: For instructions on how to froth milk  
refer to the section ‘Easy steps for frothing  
milk’.  
LCD: Indicates <<HOT WATER>>.  
This will help the temperature of the espresso  
machine return to coffee making temperature  
and also prevent milk remains from drying  
inside the steam nozzle and therefore blocking  
the nozzle. Be sure to place a cup of some  
kind under the steam nozzle when doing this.  
Note: The nozzle must not touch the bottom  
of the jug to ensure that the steam release is  
not obstructed.  
• To stop the frothing process, turn the  
‘steam/hot water’ switch down into the  
off  
position and then remove the jug.  
See figure 28.  
Important: There is risk of scalding by  
splashing hot milk. Switch the steam off  
before you remove the jug with the frothed  
milk.

Easy steps for frothing 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.  
Frothing with the frothing attachment  
If you are just learning to texture/froth  
milk you may find it initially easier using  
the frothing attachment packed with the  
Sunbeam Intuitive Digital. 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.  
• 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.  
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.  
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.  
• 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.

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 29.  
LCD: Indicates <<HOT WATER>>.  
• 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 figure 30.

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.  
• 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.  
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 of the Sunbeam Intuitive  
Digital guarantees a constant coffee quality  
and a trouble-free operation.  
• 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  
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.  
Cleaning the height-adjustable espresso pour spouts  
• If the height-adjustable espresso pour spouts  
becomes stiff, remove the coffee waste  
container, open the service cover and remove  
it. Slide the height-adjustable espresso pour  
spouts right down, and off the bottom. To do  
this, gently raise the inside catch. Use warm  
water to clean any coffee residues from both  
parts. Reassemble the two parts. To do this,  
gently pull up the catch. Check the ease of  
movement of the height-adjustable espresso  
pour spouts. Refit the service cover and push  
the coffee waste container back in place.  
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.  
• Remove the water reservoir daily and empty  
any remaining water. Rinse out the water  
reservoir with fresh water. Use fresh water  
every day.  
Emptying the coffee waste container  
At regular intervals, after every 16 coffee  
brews, the coffee waste container indicator on  
the control panel signals that the container  
has to be emptied and cleaned. The display  
shows <<EMPTY WASTE CONTAINER>>.  
• Empty the coffee waste container daily,  
see section “Emptying the coffee waste  
container”.  
When the espresso machine is in daily use,  
empty the container daily. As a reminder  
the display shows <<EMPTY WASTE  
CONTAINER>> every time you switch the  
espresso machine off.  
• Regularly drain the drip tray. This can be  
done at any time, but must be done when  
the red drip tray float appears through the  
opening in the cup resting grid.  
Note: Always empty the coffee waste container  
with the espresso machine switched on,  
otherwise the espresso machine does not  
register that the container has been emptied.  
• Regularly (at least once a week) clean the  
water reservoir, drip tray, cup resting grid  
and coffee wasted container with warm  
soapy water.
