Install It
- Find a swanky spot in your home for your new machine to live, preferably where the morning sun can strike the mirror-finished housing so you can fully appreciate the bright idea that is your purchase.
- Get the power cord and the accessories out of the box.
- Plug the machine directly into an outlet. Don't plug it into surge protectors, extension cords, or timers.
- Fill the water tank.
Get it Good & Hot
It's time to get heated.
- Turn on the machine.
- Lock the portafilter into the group head.
- Wait 30 minutes.
- Take this time to start reading up on how to brew and froth below, if this is your first machine or you're new to pulling shots.
Get a Handle on your Tamp
- Level off the grounds in your portafilter
- Keep your tamper level with the basket
- Apply consistent force downward, evenly, and level with the portafilter
- 30 lbs. of pressure is a good rule-of-thumb to follow for beginners

Brew Better
- Lock the portafilter into the brew group.
- Lift the brew lever all the way up.
- Aim for 2 to 2.5 oz. in about 25 seconds.
- Drink your shot to test.
- Repeat until properly motivated to get work done.
The big secret to finding that exact flavor you're after, that big punch-in-the-mouth feel, is dialing in your grind. For a basic rule-of-thumb, a coarser grind makes for a lighter, fluffier coffee, and a finer grind makes for a more intense, flavorful espresso. Check out the video on the right for more info.
