6.3 Preparing coffee
Use the portafilter with 1 spout and the corresponding filter (1 cup) for the preparation of 1 cup. Use the
portafilter with 2 spouts and the big filter (2 cups) for the preparation of 2 cups. Make sure that the filter is
firmly locked into the portafilter. Fill the finely ground coffee into the filter.
Fill the ground coffee with the respective grind for espresso into the filter (approx. 7 g – 9 g).
Compress the ground coffee with the tamper. A tamping pressure of approx. 20 kg is recommended. Thus
the ground coffee is evenly compacted. Clamp the portafilter firmly into the brew group.
Place the cup under the spout of the portafilter (for the preparation of 2 cups, put 1 cup under each spout).
Now move the brew lever into the upper position to start the brewing process. The timer on the PID-display
indicates the brewing time in seconds. In general, the brewing time should be around 20 to 25 seconds. The
volume for a single espresso is circa 20 to 30 ml. Place the brew lever back into the original position once
the desired volume is reached.
The remaining pressure/water will be discharged into the drip tray by the lower part of the brew groupe
cylinder.
Caution!
If the group lever is not moved into the lower position properly, hot water and grounds will
squirt out of the brew group while taking out the portafilter. This may cause injuries.
Only freshly ground coffee allows for an optimal coffee result. Therefore, use a
professional coffee grinder.
6.4 Dispensing of hot water
1. To dispense hot water the steam boiler has to be switched on. Press the right switch behind the drip tray
in position 'I'.
2. Place a suitable vessel (with heat-insulated grip) underneath the hot water wand. Now you can dispense
hot water (e.g. for tea). When dispensing large amounts of water, it is advisable to turn the machine off
so that no cold water is pumped anymore.
3. After having dispensed hot water, turn the machine back on. The boiler is automatically refilled with
fresh water.
When the machine is switched off, more hot water can be dispensed.
However, one does not necessarily have to switch off the machine for dispensing hot water.
Risk of injury
Always keep the hot water nozzle underneath the surface of the water while heating in order
to avoid splashing.
6.5 Dispensing of steam
The SYNCHRONIKA makes it possible to generate large amounts of steam in order to heat or froth
beverages, e. g. milk or punch. It is a professional and compact espresso coffee machine with an enormous
steam volume. Therefore, within a few seconds, you can prepare milk froth. Please pay attention to the
instructions below. Do not bring the milk to a boil, otherwise frothing milk will not be possible.
1. To dispense steam the steam boiler has to be switched on. Press the right switch behind the drip tray in
position 'I'. Please wait until the desired steam temperature has been reached.
2. Important: In order to get the best results when frothing milk, open the steam lever for approx. 5.
seconds to release the condensation water in the pipe. This also prevents milk from being sucked into
the boiler.
3. Immerse the steam nozzle (at the end of the steam dispenser) into the liquid.
