ESPRESSO
Prepare and Brew:
Clean the portafilter and purge the group head with hot water. Grind coffee, aiming for a 21g dose. Tamp evenly and insert the portafilter into the machine. Brew until the espresso yield is double the coffee dose (e.g., 42g for 21g dose) in about 30 seconds. Adjust grind size if extraction time is off.

Steam Milk:
Start by stretching the milk to incorporate air, then heat it to create a silky texture. Use the steam wand to create a whirlpool effect, heating until the milk is just too hot to touch. Wipe down the wand when finished.

Serve:
Enjoy your espresso as is, add hot water for a Long Black, or pour steamed milk over the espresso for a milk-based coffee.

STOVE TOP
1. Prepare Water: Boil water and let it cool slightly to avoid overheating the brewer, which can give coffee a metallic taste.

2. Fill Brewer: Pour hot water into the chamber just below the valve.

3. Insert Filter: Place the filter basket into the brewer.

4. Add Coffee: Fill the basket with ground coffee, level it off, and brush away any loose grounds. Do not tamp the coffee.

5. Assemble Brewer: Carefully screw the top and bottom of the brewer together, being cautious of the hot base.

6. Heat on Stove: Place the brewer on moderate heat with the lid open.

7. Brew: When coffee starts flowing, watch for the color change to yellow honey, then remove from heat. Aim for a total brew time of 2.5-3 minutes.

Tips:

• If the brew takes too long, coarsen the grind.

• If it’s too quick, make the grind finer.

Enjoy: Your coffee is ready to be enjoyed as is or with added milk or hot water.
