ENGLISH
• When purchasing coffee beans, it’s best to buy a bag with a “Roasted On” date rather than a
“Best Before” date to ensure quality and freshness.
• We recommend you use any coffee beans within 20 days of the “Roasted On” date.

• When changing to a different bean, fully remove previous beans before proceeding. See the
Switching Out Beans section for more information.
• Always match the current to the recommended grind setting.
• To increase the brew temperature, run a water flush before making your drink.

• Keep your machine clean by using the brush to wipe off any debris.
Made with less
water than an
espresso, resulting
in a higher grounds-
to-water ratio.
Made with more
water than an
espresso, resulting
in a lower grounds-
to-water ratio.
• Use filtered water.
• Dial in the grinder whenever switching out beans.
Standard
caffeine
• Keep machine on a stable surface.
Caffeine
Comparisons**
Lower in caffeine
than espresso
due to the shorter
extraction time.
Higher in
caffeine than
espresso due
to the longer
extraction time.
Same level of
caffeine as an
espresso shot,
but in a larger
format drink.
• Empty and clean drip tray frequently.
• After you grind and before you start brewing, the machine will start to heat up. Place your mug on
the heated cup tray to warm it up.
*When brewed with the double basket and default strength 2. The basket size and strength chosen
will change the coffee-to-water ratio, and will impact the flavour profile and brew amount.
• Refer to Adjusting your Brew Temp and Strength for more information on brew ratios.
BEST FROTHING PRACTICES
• Refer to the Approximate Brew Volumes table for brew outputs for each basket.
• For best results with plant-based milk, use the barista or full-fat version.
**The exact caffeine content is dependent on your bean type, roast, and the basket size used
for your drink.
• For dairy milk, we recommend using whole milk.
• Milks that are UHT-treated (Ultra High Temperature) may have varying results.
• Coconut milk can be heated up but will not make stable froth.
• If you would like to adjust milk temperature, please see Additional Settings section.
• For best results use cold milk or milk out of the refrigerator.
• For best results make sure the milk jug is at room-temperature before frothing.
• Ensure both the milk jug platform and the bottom of the milk jug are dry and clean before placing
on the milk jug platform.
• Wipe steam wand with a clean damp cloth immediately after use to prevent milk from sticking.
• Before turning off the machine, push the steam wand back into the down position to allow it to purge.
• For a deeper clean of the whisk and steam wand, fill milk jug to the max line with water and a drop
of dish soap and run the THIN FROTH
program.
• For best foams and latte art, tap and swirl the milk jug prior to pouring milk.
• For best plant-based froth, use the PLANT-BASED setting.
