Section 1: Espresso Overview

What is espresso?

The term espresso is used to describe more than just a drink.



It’s a Roast of Beans



It’s a Brewing Method



It’s a Beverage

It’s a Roast of Beans

Espresso refers to coffee beans that have been specifically roasted for use in espresso
machines. Before roasting, all coffee beans are green. During the roasting process,
the beans progress from light to dark in color, depending on the length of time and
temperature of the roasting process.

At 400°F, the chemistry of the beans change and true roasting begins. As the heat
reaches 450-500°F, acidity is lost and the beans acquire more body and a heavier
texture. At higher temperatures, the natural oils rise to the surface of the beans.
“Espresso” roast beans are typically roasted to near black and are shiny with oil.

As espresso becomes more and more popular, the number of independent roasters
increases. With this change comes an expansion in the variety of espresso roasts
being produced.

3010-001A

It’s a Brewing Method

Espresso refers to a method of “brewing” the ground espresso beans. Unlike
standard coffee, espresso is brewed one cup at a time. The dark roasted, finely
ground fresh espresso beans are firmly packed or “tamped” into a brewing chamber.
Hot water (185°F) is forced through the brewing chamber under pressure (130psi).
Perfectly executed, this process takes approximately 12-20 seconds for a single
“shot” (1-ounce) of espresso and 16-24 seconds for a “double” shot (2 ounces).

It’s a Beverage

Espresso is a beverage. When properly brewed, espresso beans yield a thick, highly
aromatic liquid capped with a golden-brown dense froth or “crema.” A single shot is
approximately 1 ounce of espresso and a double shot yields approximately 2 ounces
of espresso.

Once a shot of espresso is “extracted,” it can be served alone in a warmed demitasse
cup, mixed with steamed milk, foamed milk, iced milk, hot water, and/or a variety of
flavored syrups to make any combination of delicious beverages.

As espresso increases in popularity, so do the combination of espresso-based
beverages.

. Typically the same size cup is used. For example, a double

latte is 2oz of Espresso and Steamed Milk.

Make it a Tall

Adding the term “tall” simply means
remains the same. For example, a single tall latte is 1oz of espresso and steamed
milk in a large cup.

Espresso Terminology

Acorto From the Italian “accorta,” meaning clever

Americano A regular shot of espresso mixed with hot water

Barista Highly trained espresso machine operator; espresso bartender.

The skill of the barista is the ultimate determinant of how well an
espresso or espresso drink is made

Blend A mixture of two or more individual varieties of coffee

Breve Caffe Latte made with half and half rather than milk

Cappuccino Espresso layered with steamed and foamed milk

Crema The caramel colored foam that appears on top of a shot of

espresso during the extraction. The crema will dissipate as the
shot rests after brewing. The crema helps retain the aromatics
and flavors of the espresso within the cup - the presence of
crema indicates an acceptable extraction.

The caramel-colored crema layers the top of the espresso shot ,
coats the side of the cup almost like syrup and lingers as the
drink is sipped.

A dark brown crema with a white dot or black hole in the middle
is a sign the espresso has been over-extracted and will taste
harsh and bitter.

A light-colored crema indicates an under-extracted espresso
that will taste weak.

Section 1: Espresso Overview

Cupping Evaluating brewed coffee by taste, smell and appearance,

similar to wine tasting

Demitasse A small (1/2 size) cup used for serving espresso. Demitasse is

French for 'half cup'.

Dose The amount of ground espresso used in the brewing process.

Espresso Comes from the Latin word “Expresere,” which means, “to press

out.” A brewing method that extracts the heart of the coffee
bean. See: What is Espresso.

Extraction The espresso brewing process. The hot water is forced under

pressure through the ground coffee and “pulls out” the flavor and
essence.

Latte/
“Caffe Latte”

Macchiato Espresso shot “marked” with a small amount of foamed milk

Mocha Latte with chocolate syrup added

Shot A serving of espresso, typically 1oz. A double shot is typically

Stale

Tamping Packing the espresso grounds into the filter

Espresso mixed with steamed milk

2ozs.

Coffee that has been exposed to oxygen for too long becomes
flat and has a cardboard taste.

The Model 1500s/1000i

Pouring a steaming hot latte or cappuccino starts with the push of a button. Acorto
super-automatic espresso machines will grind fresh whole beans, brew the espresso,
steam and froth fresh milk and deliver a perfect freshly brewed espresso beverage in
less than 60 seconds.

In 1990, Acorto introduced the first fully automated espresso machine in Seattle,
Washington. The innovative machine earned Acorto several patents and broke new
ground by incorporating the grinding and brewing of fresh espresso, the steaming and
frothing of milk, and the “on board” refrigeration of milk, all in one machine.

Acorto super-automatic espresso machines are used in a wide variety of locations
ranging from corporate cafeterias, universities, hospitals; to casual dining and fine
dining restaurants; to convenience stores, hotels, supermarkets; to cruise ships, ski
resorts and airports.

Because the Acorto is completely automatic, computer-controlled and easy to clean,
minimal training is needed to run and maintain the machine. Our customers are able
to offer freshly brewed, premium quality espresso drinks around the clock.

Soft-plumbed or hard-plumbed configuration

The model 1500s/1000i has the capability of being plumbed directly to a buildings
water supply and/or drain system or configured as a “self-contained” unit using the
on-board fresh water and drain bins. It’s possible to use a combination of these
features when installing a model 1500s/1000i.

Software versions 5.2 and lower

Cleaning Cycles

While the Acorto Super automatic espresso machines are capable of producing great
espresso drinks at the touch of a button, it is important to perform the daily cleaning
routines to insure consistent drink quality and optimal machine performance.

These Cleaning routines are:



Milk System Cleaning Cycle



Shutdown Cleaning Cycle (Brew-group Cleaning)



Automatic cleaning cycle

Cleaning Cycle Timers (reminders):

Beginning with software version 5.1 the model 1000i has built-in “required cleaning
cycle” timers. These timers monitor the amount of time that has elapsed since the last
time a “Milk” or “Shutdown” clean cycle has been performed.

If 24 hours has passed since a milk or espresso cycle has been run, the message(s)
“Run Milk Clean” and/or “Run Brewer Clean” are posted on the display. These
messages will flash on the display for 2 hours while still allowing normal operation
of the unit. After the 2-hour grace period has elapsed, the machine will “lock” into
one of the cleaning cycles and no machine function will work until all cleaning
cycles have been performed.
