Betjeningsvejledning

1. Fremstilling af espresso

1. Klargør portafilteret: Sæt den ønskede filterkurv (enkelt eller dobbelt) i portafilteret.
2. Malet kaffe: Mal friske kaffebønner til en fin konsistens, der er egnet til espresso.
3. Dose og Tamp: Use the scoop to add ground coffee to the filter basket. For a single shot, use one scoop (approx. 7g). For a double shot, use two scoops (approx. 14g). Tamp kaffen fast og jævnt med tamper. Ensure the coffee bed is level.
4. Fastgør portafilter: Sæt portafilteret i bryggehovedet, og drej det fast til højre, indtil det er sikkert låst.
5. Placeringspokal: Placer en eller to espressokopper på drypbakken direkte under portafilterets tuder.
6. Bryg espresso: Once the machine is heated (solid indicator light), press the Enkelt skud or Dobbelt skud button. The machine will automatically dispense the correct amount of espresso.
7. Monitortryk: Observe the pressure gauge during extraction. The needle should ideally be in the "Espresso Range" for optimal flavor.
8. Fjern portafilter: After brewing, carefully remove the portafilter by twisting it to the left. Be cautious as it will be hot. Discard the used coffee grounds.

2. Steaming and Frothing Milk

1. Forbered mælk: Fill the stainless steel frothing pitcher with cold milk (dairy or non-dairy) up to just below the spout.
2. Aktiver Steam: Tryk på Damp button. The indicator light will flash as the machine heats up to steaming temperature. Once solid, it's ready.
3. Rens damprør: Placer dampdysen over drypbakken, og åbn kort dampknappen for at tømme eventuelt kondensvand ud. Luk knappen.
4. Dampmælk: Sæt spidsen af ​​dampdysen lige under mælkens overflade i kanden. Åbn dampknappen helt.
5. Skummælk: For frothing, keep the wand tip near the surface to incorporate air, creating foam. For steaming (heating), immerse the wand deeper. Move the pitcher in a circular motion to create a vortex.
6. Monitor temperatur: Continue steaming until the milk reaches the desired temperature (around 140-150°F / 60-65°C) and texture. The pitcher will become hot to the touch.
7. Stop med at dampe: Luk dampknappen, og fjern derefter kanden.
8. Rengør damprør: Tør straks dampdysen af ​​med en damppistol.amp cloth to prevent milk residue from drying. Briefly open the steam knob again to purge any milk from inside the wand.

3. Making Cappuccinos and Lattes

Once you have brewed your espresso and frothed your milk, combine them to create your desired beverage.

• Cappuccino: Pour the frothed milk over the espresso, aiming for equal parts espresso, steamed milk, and a generous layer of foam.
• Latte: Pour the steamed milk over the espresso, holding back the foam initially, then topping with a thin layer of microfoam. Lattes typically have more steamed milk and less foam than cappuccinos.

Vedligeholdelse og rengøring

Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your espresso machine. Always unplug the machine and allow it to cool before cleaning.

1. Daglig rengøring

• Portafilter og filterkurve: After each use, remove the portafilter, discard coffee grounds, and rinse the portafilter and filter basket under hot water. Use a brush to remove any stubborn coffee residue.
• Dampstang: Tør dampdysen af ​​med en mundfuld umiddelbart efter mælkeskumning.amp klud. Udluft kort dampen for at fjerne eventuelle interne mælkerester.
• Drypbakke: Empty and rinse the drip tray daily or when the "Full" indicator appears. Wash with warm, soapy water.
• Bryggehoved: Wipe the brew head screen with a damp klud til at fjerne kaffegrums.
• Ydre: Tør maskinens ydre af med en blød, damp klæde. Brug ikke slibende rengøringsmidler eller skuresvampe.

2. Afkalkning

Mineral deposits (limescale) can build up in the machine over time, affecting performance and taste. Descale your machine every 2-3 months, or more frequently if you have hard water.

1. Forbered afkalkningsopløsning: Mix a descaling solution according to the manufacturer's instructions (e.g., white vinegar and water, or a commercial descaler). Fill the water tank with this solution.
2. Run Solution Through Brew Head: Place a large container under the brew head. Turn on the machine and press the Dobbelt skud button to run half of the solution through the brew head.
3. Kør løsningen gennem dampstaven: Place another container under the steam wand. Open the steam knob and run the remaining solution through the steam wand until the tank is empty.
4. Skylle: Fill the water tank with fresh, clean water. Repeat steps 2 and 3 to thoroughly rinse the machine and remove any descaling solution residue.
