Initial Setup and Priming
Before first use, ensure the machine is properly set up and primed to guarantee optimal performance and coffee quality.
Water Tank and Filter Preparation
The machine features an 85oz (2.5L) removable water tank. Always use filtered water for best results. Condition the water filter by soaking it for 5 minutes before installation.

Bean Hopper and Portafilter
Fill the removable bean hopper with your preferred coffee beans. Lock the hopper into place. Select the appropriate portafilter basket (single or double shot, single or double wall) from the storage area under the drip tray. For lattes, a single wall, two-shot basket is recommended for better control.

Insert the portafilter into the grinder. Adjust the grind size and grind amount using the control knobs. For a two-shot latte, an ideal grind amount setting is available. After grinding, place the portafilter on a flat surface and use the tamper to apply even pressure, aiming for the ideal tamp level indicated. Lock the portafilter into the brew head.

Toggle the mode button to steam. Fill the milk pitcher to just under halfway with cold milk. Angle the steam wand into the top of the milk, near the side of the pitcher. Press start to begin frothing. Remove your hand when the pitcher feels hot to the touch, indicating the milk is frothed. Pour the frothed milk over your espresso to create lattes or cappuccinos.
