Checking Your Water Hardness
Included with the machine is a Water Hardness Test Kit. Please follow the instructions on the package using the water you plan to use to make espresso. Once you have gathered your results, please refer to the SmartHQ app to set your water hardness level.

Tips

Espresso is often mistakenly thought of as a drink made with darker roast beans. Some coffee roasters even mark their product as "Espresso Coffee". This is misleading because espresso is mainly distinguished from other coffee drinks by the correct grind size and brew process, not the type, origin, or roast of the coffee beans.
Any coffee bean can be used in making your espresso!
However, in automatic espresso machines it is not recommended to use oily beans that most often come from darker roasts. Oil coats the inside components and may affect the usability and life span of the machine.
Use the hot water button to heat up your espresso cup before brewing. Espresso has a very small volume and will cool quicker if brewed in a cold cup.
Some functions can be adjusted within the SmartHQ App to meet your specific preferences or coffee type. Reference the SmartHQ section.

Your espresso machine can be used to make an unlimited number off espresso-based drinks. Frothed milk drinks like Cappuccinos and Lattes are classics enjoyed by many.
Make sure to brew espresso BEFORE using steam. Steam function requires higher temperatures than espresso and brewing espresso immediately after Steaming will affect the taste of espresso.

Cappuccino
This drink is made with espresso, milk, and large amount of microfoam. Do not fill the milk pitcher above half way to avoid microfoam overflow during steaming. Frothed milk may be as much as double in volume.
Latte
This drink uses espresso and steamed milk with a smaller head of foam.
How to steam milk:
NOTE: Steam function is only included with model C7CEBBS3RD3, C7CEBBS4RW3, C7CEBBS2RS3.
NOTE: During steam preheat, the wand will purge hot water. Do not insert steam wand into milk until preheat is complete.

After steam is preheated and ready, place the tip of the steam wand right under the surface of the milk at the edge of the milk pitcher at approximately a 45° angle to create a vortex. Start steaming. The longer milk is steamed under the surface the more microfoam is created. Once desired amount of microfoam is reached, dip the steam wand lower into the milk and continue to steam until desired temperature is reached. Place a hand under the pitcher to feel the change in temperature. Once the bottom is warm enough to feel uncomfortable, optimal temperature is achieved.
Large bubbles can be broken into smaller bubbles by light tapping of the milk pitcher on the edge of the counter.
NOTE: To heat up milk, you want to position the steam wand lower into the pitcher to prevent air from entering the milk and creating bubbles. This will result in a steamed milk with a smaller head of foam.
