Getting started with the Espresso One

What's in the box

• Espresso One machine with a 1.8 L water tank
• 58 mm portafilter with single and double baskets
• Stainless steel milk jug (350 ml)
• Tamper, cleaning brush and two descaling sachets

First-time setup

1. Rinse the water tank and fill it with filtered water up to the MAX line.
2. Plug the machine in and press the power button. The ring light pulses while the boiler heats, which takes about 90 seconds.
3. Run two empty shots through the group head to flush the system before your first coffee.

Grind and dose

Drink	Dose	Yield	Time
Single espresso	9 g	18 g	25–30 s
Double espresso	18 g	36 g	25–30 s
Ristretto	18 g	25 g	20–25 s

If a double shot runs faster than 20 seconds, grind finer. If it runs slower than 35 seconds, grind coarser.

Steaming milk

Purge the steam wand for two seconds, place the tip just below the milk surface and open the steam knob fully. Stop at 60–65 °C. Wipe and purge the wand straight after every use.
