Twin Pump and Twin Thermoblock – TPTT™
System
TPTT™ System – Simultaneous Use
True to commercial use, the unique
TPTT™ System features twin pumps and
twin thermoblocks, this allows the coffee
maker to texture milk and pour an espresso
simultaneously.
Italian designed and manufactured, the
machine is fitted with a 15 BAR pump for
the espresso function, delivering the pressure
required for a complete extraction of oils,
coffee solids and aroma. An additional 4 BAR
pump is dedicated to the steam function,

the water ensuring the precise temperature
is achieved for each function eliminating
waiting time and reducing temperature
fluctuations.
Espresso Gauge
The gauge indicates the quality of the
espresso pour.
Whilst the needle is within the target area on
the gauge the coffee maker knows that they
have made an excellent serve of espresso.
Should the needle fall below the target area

Should the needle go beyond the target area
then it’s an indication to the coffee maker
that the serve of espresso is over extracted.
Control Panel
An easy to use control panel provides the
choice of manual operation or utilising the
programmed espresso pour lengths. The
programmed espresso pour is set to 35mls
per cup while the program function allows
users to personalise and save their own
espresso settings.
To achieve an excellent pour of liquid
espresso a combination of a fine espresso
grind and the correct amount of coffee
packed firmly and evenly in the filter will
help attain this result.
Tip: Achieving a good pour of liquid espresso
is more likely when using freshly ground
coffee beans.
Commercial Size Group Head & Filter Handle
The group head, filter 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.
Pre-Infusion
Pre-infusion is programmed into the
‘MANUAL’, single espresso and
espresso operations. It is a gradual release of
water pressure pre-soaking the coffee cake
before full water pressure is applied. This in
turn delivers greater body and sweetness to
the espresso.
double
Anti Calc Filter
An Anti Calc water filter reduces impurities
that taint the flavour and odour of the
water, improving the taste and aroma of the
espresso brewed. Additionally, scale build up
is slowed reducing the frequency of cleaning
required.
The Anti Calc water filter fitted inside the
3 litre water reservoir has a 12 month life
for domestic use and a 3 month life for
commercial use.

polish the grounds. This seals the surface
of the coffee cake.
7.Brush any excess coffee grounds from
around the edge of the filter basket (18).
Important: Be sure not to over dose the filter
basket with coffee. As a guide the top of the
stainless steel section on the base of the
coffee tamp needs to be level with the top
rim of the filter basket.
Pre-Infusion
11. Once an espresso operation has been
activated, before the espresso pour starts
the pre-infusion feature will release three
short bursts of gradual water pressure
onto the coffee cake. After this, the full
water pressure is applied to the coffee
cake and the espresso will pour freely.
Tip: The coffee dosage and the degree of
tamping should remain the same every time
you make a coffee the only thing that should
vary is the coarseness of the coffee grounds

12. Check the espresso pour. The ideal
pour is dark and caramel with reddish
reflections. The pour should hang
vertically on each spout and resist like
dripping honey.
Tip: After each use of the espresso machine
we recommend that a small amount of water
is cycled through the group head as this will
wash out any old or used coffee grinds stuck
to the underside of the group head. Simply
press the ‘MANUAL’ button and allow some
water to run through.
Tip: Refer to the espresso gauge on the
espresso machine as this will help
indicate the quality of the pour.
Sleep Mode
13. Serve espresso immediately.
After 1 hour of non-use the espresso machine
will automatically switch to ‘SLEEP MODE’.
An indication that the machine is in ‘SLEEP
MODE’ is the light above the ‘POWER’
button will slowly flash red. After a further
26 hours of non-use the espresso machine
will turn off.
Caring for your Espresso Machine
14. Remove the filter handle from the group
head (25).
15. Discard the used coffee grinds from the
filter basket (26).

Guideto milk texturing
Milk texturing is the steaming of milk. The
steam does two things, firstly it heats the
milk and secondly the steam mixes air
with the milk to form an ‘emulsion’ of tiny
bubbles that gives a silky velvet texture.
Similar to making an espresso, perfecting the
art of milk texturing takes time and practice.
Note: Do not allow the steam to spurt
unevenly or it will create aerated froth/large
bubbles. If this is happening raise the jug so
that the steam nozzle is lowered deeper into
the milk. Remember the ideal consistency is
a silky velvet texture.
7. As the steam heats and textures the milk,
the level of the milk in the jug will begin
to rise. As this happens follow the level
of the milk by lowering the jug, always
keeping the tip of the steam nozzle just
below the surface.
Tip: Remember espresso is the foundation
for all café style drinks and the milk is the
variable.
1. Determine how much milk is needed
based on the number of cups being made
or the size of the texturing jug.
8. Once the foam is created raise the jug
until the steam nozzle is in the centre of
the milk (40).
Tip: Keep in mind that the volume of milk
will increase or ’stretch’ during the texturing.
Tip: The amount of foam required will vary
depending on the drinks being made, for
example a cappuccino requires more foam
than a flat white.
2. Pour cold refrigerated milk into a
stainless steel jug, between ½ to ²/ full.
³
Tip: Store the stainless steel jug in the fridge
so that it is well chilled. Also be sure not to
rinse the jug with warm water before use.
9. Close the steam immediately when the
milk is heated to between 60-65°C
by turning the steam control dial anti-
clockwise (41).
3. Purge the steam wand of any water.
With the steam wand positioned over the
drip tray activate the steam function by
turning the steam control dial clockwise
as far as it will go (35). Once any water
has been purged close the steam by
turning the steam control dial anti-
clockwise (36).
Tip: If you don’t have a thermometer a good
indication that the correct temperature has
been reached is when you are unable to leave
the palm of your hand against the side of the
jug for more than 3 seconds.
Important: Do not boil the milk.
4. Swing the steam wand to the side of the
espresso machine (37).
10. Remove the jug and wipe the steam nozzle
and wand with a clean damp cloth (42).
5. Place the steam wand into the milk so
that the nozzle is about a centimetre
below the surface and activate the steam
function by turning the steam control dial
clockwise as far as it will go (38).
11. With the jug in hand tap the jug on
the bench top to release the trapped
air bubbles and then swirl the jug in a
circular motion until the milk becomes
shiny and no bubbles remain, this helps
the milk and froth combine for an even
consistency. By swirling the milk you can
see the foam in the jug swirling with your
movement this will enable you to judge
the thickness of your foam.
6. Angle the jug so that the steam wand is
resting on the spout of the jug and lower
the jug until the tip of the steam nozzle
is just below the surface of the milk. This
will start to create a whirlpool action in
the milk (39).

Usingthe hot water dispenser
The hot water dispenser is ideal for preparing
long blacks, hot chocolate and filling coffee

3.Once you have dispensed the required
amount of hot water into the cup or
container, close the hot water by turning
the hot water control dial clockwise (44).
1.Swing the hot water wand to the side of
the espresso machine.
4.Remove the cup or container and swing the
hot water wand over the drip tray to catch
any drips of water (45).
2.Place the cup or container under the hot
water nozzle and activate the hot water
function by turning the hot water control
dial anti-clockwise as far as it will go (43).

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.
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.
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;
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.
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 filter handle
cannot create the necessary seal and steam
escapes from around the group head during
the espresso pour.
Cycle water through the group head,
Purge steam through the steam wand,
Wipe the steam wand clean with a damp
cloth immediately after use,
Note: Contact Sunbeam on 1800 025 059
should you think that the group head seal
needs replacing.
Remove the filter basket from the filter
handle and clean away any old coffee oils,
and
Empty the drip tray and rinse.
Cup warming plate, hot water wand and exterior
Important: Never wash any of the espresso
machine parts or accessories in the
dishwasher.
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.
Drip tray and grill
Steam wand
Remove the grill and drip tray at regular
intervals to empty (46) (47). Clean with
water and a little non-abrasive washing up
liquid, rinse and dry.
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.
Group head, filter handle & filter baskets
The filter baskets and filter handle should be
rinsed with warm water after each use and
then dried thoroughly.
Important: Wipe the steam wand clean with a
damp cloth immediately after each use and
purge a small amount of steam.
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 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 (48). With the
cloth still on the steam wand leave to soak
Should the holes in the filter baskets become
clogged with coffee granules use a fine
bristled brush to remove them.
