Apparatus of the espresso machine

Items to be reminded:

l         Make sure the coffee filter connects, but not tightly locked, to the pouring filter during brewing in order to protect its lifespan and its temperature stability.

l         Flush sufficient freshly grounded coffee powder into the coffee filter. (Single shot:8g; double shot:16g)

l         Turn on the steam warmer before and after every operation to remove remaining water vapor and milk.

l         Rinse the coffee filter and the pouring filter after every operation to remove any residue. (After rush hours, it is advised to remove the coffee filter cup and cleanse the inner surface of the filter. Re-install the filter cup immediately to the portafilter handle.

l         For the sake of effective and efficient operation, coffee beans in the coffee bean container should be stored no more than half of the container. (Almost 2 hours consumption)

l         To maintain the freshness and the best taste of the coffee, coffee beans should be grounded just before each brewing.

l         Once the container bag is torn, coffee beans should be stored no more than 7 days.

l         After grinding, coffee powder can only be stored within 15 minutes.

l         After the shop is closed, coffee beans can be transferred back to the container bag. Seal the bag immediately.
