The Espresso Machine

Espresso machine pouring a double shot into two cups

The coffee machine on the kitchen counter pulls a proper double shot. Tap the pins on the picture for each part.

  1. Power on and wait for the light to go solid, about 90 seconds.
  2. Drop a pod in the portafilter and twist it in firmly to the right.
  3. Put a cup on the tray and press the two-cup button once.
  4. Steam wand: purge for one second over the tray before and after frothing.

Pods and descaling notes are in the drawer under the machine.

In an emergency, call 911.
