Required Espresso Pressure
Should the needle fail to reach the target
area this is an indication that the serve of
espresso is ‘under-extracted’. This occurs
when water passes too quickly through the
tamped coffee grinds and is an indication
that either the grind needs to be made finer
or the filter basket has been under-dosed.
The pour is quick and light in colour and the
resulting crema is thin with a creamy light
brown colour.
The 15 BAR Italian pump produces the
required pressure for brewing espresso
consistently. Fitted with a pressure relief
system, ensures that any remaining pressure
after the extraction is released into the drip
tray, allowing for quick, successive brews.
Temperature Stability
Independent thermoblock heating systems
are lined with stainless steel and fitted
with PID technology, controlling the water
temperature from the thermoblock to
the group head, ensuring only the most
appreciated characteristics of espresso are
exposed - TASTE, BODY and AROMA.
Optimum
Pour
Twin Pump & Thermoblock
True to commercial use, the unique twin
pumps and twin thermoblocks allows the
coffee maker to texture milk and pour an
espresso simultaneously.
Under

Pour
Over
Extracted
Pour
When the needle goes beyond the target area
it is an indication that the serve of espresso
is ‘over-extracted’. This occurs when the
water passes very slowly through the tamped
coffee grinds and is an indication that either
the grind is too fine or the filter basket has
been over-dosed. In this situation the hot
water is in contact with the coffee grinds
for too long thus creating a burnt and bitter
tasting espresso. This is characterised by
the espresso only slowly dripping during the
entire pour and the crema is very dark.
Espresso Gauge
The espresso gauge is an indicator of the
quality of the espresso pour and should be
used as a guide.
It measures the pressure or resistance
created by water being pumped through the
tamped coffee grinds in the group handle.
Whilst the needle is within the target area on
the gauge it indicates that a quality serve of
espresso has been made. This is indicated by
a slow, but flowing pour of espresso with a
consistency similar to that of dripping honey.
The crema should be dark golden in colour.

Milk Temperature Gauge
Commercial Size Group Head & Group Handle
The 4 BAR steam pump produces instant,
constant steam pressure for texturing milk.
An important factor when creating milk foam
is temperature. The steam wand integrates
a patented temperature sensing device that
relays the temperature of the milk during
texturing to the milk temperature gauge on
the control board.
The group head, group handle and filters are
designed to commercial specifications using
brass and stainless steel components. These
elements help contribute to the preparation
of an espresso serve, as it allows the coffee
maker to pack the necessary amount of
coffee grinds, which then expand firmly and
evenly onto the shower screen.
As most coffees are milk based, this

Preparing your espresso machine
for the first time
• Ensure the espresso machine is always
positioned onto a dry, stable bench top.
• When the red light on the POWER button
stops flashing and turns to a constant
red light this indicates that the espresso
machine is now at temperature and is in
READY MODE.
• Ensure all packaging has been removed
from the espresso machine and the drip
tray with grill is in place.
• At this point glasses and cups can
be placed on the warming plate for
pre-heating.
• Fit the group handle with either the single
or double filter basket and secure to the
group head on the espresso machine.
• Place a sufficiently large container under
both pour spouts and press the MANUAL
button. Water will start to run through.
Note: As a safety mechanism the espresso
machine is programmed to automatically stop
the water flow after 240mls, therefore you
will need to press the MANUAL button again
to restart the water flow.
• Fill the espresso machine with water;
1.Simply lift the lid of the water reservoir at
the top of the espresso machine and using
a jug, fill with fresh cold water or filtered
water.
2.Alternatively slide out the water reservoir
from the back of the espresso machine and
fill with fresh cold water or filtered water.
Then replace the water reservoir, ensuring
it is firmly in place.
• Insert the power cord into a 230-240V AC
power outlet and switch the power on.
• Press the POWER button on the espresso
machine. The POWER button will start
flashing, this indicates that your espresso
machine is on and is heating up.
• Continue to allow the water to run through
until the water reservoir is empty.

PRE-HEATING
Glasses
DOSING and TAMPING
• Dry wipe the basket.
• Grind evenly and directly into the centre of
the filter basket.
• Fill the filter basket with ground coffee to
the rim.
• Using the tamper, tamp straight down, this
is going to create more space for some
more coffee.
• Grind some more coffee to a similar level
in the filter basket and using the tamper
again to create some more space. One last
time grind some more coffee into the filter
basket to the rim.
Pre-heat glasses and cups by filling them
with hot water as this will assist to preserve
the crema of the espresso and also help
maintain the temperature of the espresso.
Just prior to making your espresso glasses
and cups can be pre-heated using the hot
water feature on your espresso machine.
Otherwise glasses and cups can be stored on
the warming tray of the espresso machine;
this will also assist in pre-heating.
Group Handle and Filter baskets
This is important especially for the first
coffee being made, as a cold group handle
can significantly decrease the temperature of
the water at the point of extraction. This in
turn will alter the quality and characteristics
of the resulting espresso extraction.
• This time lock the group handle into the
side of the bench and using the tamper
apply firm downward pressure. Brush any
loose coffee off the rim of the basket into
the centre and tamp down again, this time
twist the tamper to seal the top of the
coffee.
An easy way to pre-heat the group handle
and filter basket is to fit the group handle
with a filter basket. Hold the group handle
under the group head, press the MANUAL
button and allow the hot water to flow over
the group handle. Rotate the group handle so
both the underside of the group handle and
the filter basket is preheated. You may need
to press the MANUAL button again to ensure
the group handle and filter basket is properly
pre-heated.
• Wipe the rim of the filter basket free of any
loose coffee grinds and use immediately.
Dry the filter basket before filling with coffee.

The Espresso Pour
3.Resistance; looking for a thickness, or a
nice ooziness like dripping honey, with
resistance at about 2/3 from the spouts to
the bottom of the cup. It’s going to fall and
pull back up.
4.Even extraction; not extremely tight at the
beginning or pouring excessively fast at the
end.
Great coffees start with freshly roasted beans
that will deliver a sweet espresso that will be
rich in texture, body and aroma. Controlling
each part of the coffee making process is the
real secret.
• Never extract any more than 30mls of
espresso.
5.Look for colour change; when the espresso
changes from a dark brown to a creamy
or light colour the sweetest flavours and
oils have been extracted and this usually
happens around the 25-30ml mark, after
which the espresso pour is finished.
• Always purge water from the group head
before locking in the group handle with
coffee, this will dislodge any ground coffee
residue from the group head.
The way the espresso pours will tell you
everything. What you are looking for is;
1.Infusion time; when pressurised water is
being forced through the ground coffee.
2.Colour of the espresso; should be dark
brown.

Guideto milk texturing
What you want to achieve is silky thick
rich milk that has been heated to between
60-65°C.
The steam coming out of the machine will
only heat the milk, it is up to the coffee
maker to aerate the milk in a way that allows
the creation of beautifully textured micro
foam and it’s all about the positioning of the
steam tip and how you move the jug.
• Always start with fresh cold milk and a
clean jug.
• Fill the jug to approximately ½ way.
• Purge the steam wand.
• After you have created the amount of
foam you need for the style of drink you’re
making keep the jug steady and allow the
milk to come up to temperature, which is
between 60-65°C.
• Remember this process is about keeping
the milk spinning and maintaining the
same position from where you started.
• When the milk reaches the desired
temperature turn the steam off. Remove
the jug from the wand, wipe the steam
wand with a clean damp cloth and give it
a quick bust of steam to remove any milk
that has been sucked up the steam wand.
• If you have any large surface bubbles,
gently tap the jug on the bench to collapse
these.
• Rest the spout of the milk jug up against
the steam wand. Place the steam tip just
under the surface of the milk and just off
centre.
• Roll the jug to keep the milk and foam
together.
• Take your glass or cup of espresso and rest
the pouring spout against the rim of the
cup and pour in one steady motion.
• Turn on the steam.
• Gently lower the jug slowly to create the
amount of desired foam for the style of
coffee drink you are creating.
• The more control you have during this
stage of the milk texturing process the
denser and smoother the foam.
• Now listen for the hissing sound, that’s an
indicator that you’re drawing air into the
milk in a controlled fashion.

ESPRESSO (SHORT BLACK)
MACCHIATO
Espresso is a concentrated, full bodied coffee
with a stable layer of cream on top – known
as ‘crema’. An espresso is the foundation of
all café coffee. Variations are achieved by
adding different amounts of milk and froth.

Care and cleaning
The coffee making process involves extracting
oils out of coffee grinds to make espresso
coffee. Deposits of these oils build up over
time and affect the taste of the coffee and
operation of the espresso machine.
brush to remove them. Also you can use
the cleaning pin which is supplied with
the espresso machine. The cleaning pin is
attached to the inside of the top fill lid,
located at the top of the espresso machine.
The cleaning pin has two pins at either end -
the shorter of the two is for cleaning out the
holes in the filter basket.
Regular cleaning to remove these oils is
essential and will maintain the quality of the
coffee the espresso machine produces and
result in less maintenance being required.
This is easy to do by following a few quick
and easy cleaning steps after each coffee
making session;
Group head rubber seal
The group head seal is located on the
underside of the group head and creates
a seal against the filter handle during the
espresso pour.
Cycle water through the group head,
Purge steam through the steam wand,
Note: During long periods of non-use we
recommend that the filter handle not be
left attached to the group head as this will
reduce the life of the seal.
Wipe the steam wand clean with a damp
cloth immediately after use,
Remove the filter basket from the filter
handle and clean away any old coffee oils,
and
Over time the seal will loose its elasticity
and require replacement, depending on use
usually every 12 months. Signs that the seal
is deteriorating are when the group handle
cannot create the necessary seal and steam
and or water escapes from around the group
head during the espresso pour.
Empty the drip tray and rinse.
Important: Never wash any of the espresso
machine parts or accessories in the
dishwasher.
Drip tray and grill
Note: Contact Sunbeam on 1300 881 861
should you think that the group head seal
needs replacing. Please do not attempt to
change the seal without first consulting
Sunbeam.
Remove the grill and drip tray at regular
intervals to empty. Clean with water and a
little non-abrasive washing up liquid, rinse
and dry.
Cup warming plate, hot water tap and exterior
Group head, group handle & filter baskets
Wipe over the unit with a damp cloth and
wipe dry. Do not use abrasives or metal
scourers as these will scratch the exterior
surface.
The filter baskets and group handle should
be rinsed with warm water after each use and
then dried thoroughly.
To clean the group head of any old coffee
grinds cycle water through and wipe the
group head and around the inside rim with a
damp cloth.
Should the holes in the filter baskets become
clogged with coffee grinds use a fine bristled

Care and cleaning continued
Steam wand
Important: Never clean the steam wand with
an abrasive pad as this will damage the
steam wand.
Keeping the steam arm clean is essential
to ensure maximum efficiency of the steam
function. A build up of caramelised/dried
milk on the steam wand will impair the
steaming and texturing ability of the espresso
machine.
Should the steam wand become blocked,
supplied with the espresso machine is a
cleaning pin. The cleaning pin is attached to
the inside of the top fill lid, located at the
top of the espresso machine. The cleaning
pin has two pins at either end - the longer of
the two is for cleaning the hole in the base
of the steam nozzle. Should the steam wand
remain blocked unscrew the steam nozzle
from the steam wand. Clean the steam nozzle
by once again using the cleaning pin then
flush under running water.
Important: Wipe the steam wand clean with a
damp cloth immediately after each use and
purge a small amount of steam.
Should the milk dry/caramelise on the
steam wand, simply wrap the wand with
a clean damp cloth, turn the steam wand
over the drip tray and turn the steam on for
approximately 10 seconds. With the cloth
still on the steam wand leave to soak for
about 5 minutes and you will find that after
this time the dry/caramelised milk will easily
wipe away. Repeat process if still dirty.

Coffee Thermoblock Cleaning Cycle
Deposits of coffee oils build up over time and
affect the taste of the coffee and operation
of the espresso machine. Therefore the
group head will require regular cleaning. It is
recommended that the group head is cleaned
at a minimum every 3 months, this will vary
depending on the frequency of use.
Note: The lights on the control panel will
continue to chase until the cleaning cycle
is completed, this will take approximately 7
minutes.

Descaling Cycle for both the Coffee
and Steam Thermoblocks
Scale is a surface build up of minerals that
naturally occur over time in all appliances
that are involved with the heating of water.
Therefore the espresso machine will require
occasional descaling. It is recommended
that the espresso machine is descaled every
4-6 months; this will vary depending on the
frequency of use and water hardness.
One of two things will happen;
a) If the espresso machine has been
recently used, the temperature of the
steam thermoblock may need to be
cooled before the descaling cycle can
start and so water will flow through the
steam wand until the steam thermoblock
has cooled to the appropriate

temperature.
b) OR if the espresso machine starts to beep
it means it is ready to start the descaling
cycle and you should continue to step 8.
2. Using a screwdriver unscrew the filter/
shower screen from the underside of the
group head and clean under running
water.
8. Use one of the following;
a) Sunbeam Espresso Machine Descaling
Tablets (EM0010). Fill the water reservoir
with 3 litres of warm water and place 3
descaling tablets into the reservoir. Once
the tablets have dissolved replace the
reservoir into position in the machine.
3. Replace the filter/shower screen and
screw in position.
4. Place a large container under the group
head and also position the steam wand so
water from both the group head and the
steam wand will fall into the container.
b) Sunbeam Liquid Descaler. Fill the water
reservoir with approximately 3 litres of
water, add 2 capfuls of the Sunbeam
Liquid Descaler and replace the reservoir
into position in the machine.
5. Turn the steam dial to the ON position.
Important: The hot water dial must be closed
during descaling.
c) Vinegar Solution. Fill the water reservoir
with approximately 3 litres of water, add
6 tablespoons of vinegar and replace the
reservoir into position in the machine.
6.Insert the power cord into a 230-240V AC
power outlet and switch the power ON.
Note: DO NOT press the POWER button on
the espresso machine. Therefore no lights
will be illuminated on the espresso machine.
Important: Ensure the STEAM dial is still in
the ON position.
7. PRESS and HOLD DOWN both the 1
CUP and PROGRAM buttons. Then briefly
PRESS the POWER button and then
release both the 1 CUP and PROGRAM
buttons. The lights on the control panel
will start to chase from left to right.
9. Activate the descaling cycle by pressing
the 1 CUP button once.
10. The pumps for both STEAM and
ESPRESSO will start to pump through
the descaling solution for approximately
15 seconds.
11. Both pumps will stop and wait for
approximately 1 minute to allow the
descaling solution to take effect.
