• If after 2PM, shout “Hey Google, turn on Mr. Coffee”.
• Switch on the power and steam.

The heating light will turn on. Wait 5-10 minutes for it to turn off. That’s how you know it’s ready.

• Get your coffee ready.

18g of coffee at a pretty fine setting on the grinder. (There may be coffee in the freezer). Level it out using on the rubber pad on the counter, then tamp once. Make sure the coffee is nice and level!

• Purge

Put a glass under the steamer wand and turn the steamer knob wand on (carefully!). At first water will come out. When you’re getting mostly steam, about 10 seconds later, you can turn it back off.

• Steam your milk
• Switch off the steam and purge.

Put a glass under the steamer wand and turn the knob wand on again. Give it a minute to let out most of the steam. Turn the steamer wand off again.

• Switch on the hot water.

Keep your glass under the steamer wand and turn the knob on again. The idea here is to get all of the steam out of the boiler. You’ll know that’s done when you’re getting a steady stream of hot water into your cup.

• When the heating light comes on switch off the hot water.

Lock the portafilter in the espresso machine while you wait for it to heat back up. Put the scale under your espresso cup and make sure it’s tared.

• When the heating light turns off, start to brew.

It should take 20-30 seconds to brew about 36g of espresso. You’ll want to switch the brew off at about the 34g mark.

• Remove the portafilter and clean it

While it’s still pretty wet, use the knock box to clear out most of the gunk. Then, without locking it back in, switch the brew back on and use the hot water to clean both sides of the portafilter. Switch brew and power off, and put everything back. Thank you for cleaning up!
