The art of Espresso coffee
Lelit Espresso - English
EN
Contrary to what you might think, making a perfect Espresso is not that easy.
It takes experience, ability, passion and a little bit of curiosity. In this paragraph
we would like to share with you some of the basic rules for making a perfect
cup of Espresso.
Suggested doses:
Ristretto (Strong) about 20 ml – Espresso about 30 ml – Lungo (Long) about 60 ml.
The “5 M’s”
If you want to make perfect Espressos,
you should start by ensuring the ve essential factors which turn a simple cup
of coffee into an Espresso for connoisseurs! These are the “5 M’s”; in Italian:
miscela (blend), macinatura (grinding),
macchina (machine), manualità (skill) and
manutenzione (maintenance).
1 - Miscela (Blend)
Good Espressos are always made with
a good blend of coffee. An Espresso
with the right taste requires a blend of
two types of coffee, Arabica and Robusta. The rst gives the coffee its delicate
aroma and the right amount of acidity,
while the second type gives it its full
taste, body and cream. The quantities
depend on your own taste. Try out different combinations until you nd the
blend you like best!
2 - Macinatura (Grinding)
The grinder is a must for making good
Espresso. Coffee should always be
ground just before it is used so that it
preserves its taste and aroma. The Lelit
grinders let you adjust the grinding level
to suit the coffee blend in order to establish the correct extraction time and
amount of cream.
3 - Macchina espresso
(Espresso machine)
Lelit machines are designed and built
so that the water temperature can be
adjusted to suit your needs. In addition,
setting this variable correctly will allow
you to extract from the ground coffee,
not only the soluble substances that
give it taste, but also the non-soluble
ones that give body and avour to your
coffee.
4 - Manualità (Skill)
Half of the result depends on how you
use the machine. A passionate expert
is an essential part of the Espresso
production chain and can enhance the
result to bring additional value to the
nal product. Passion and practice are,
therefore, the secrets to learning how to
use the machine. You can experiment
with different blends of coffee, grinding,
pressing, water temperature and pressure, not just to make an Espresso, but
19
VIP Line - Elizabeth - PL92T
Arabica
It is grown between 900/2000 m

to make the one that is just right for you.
5 - Manutenzione (Maintenance)
Daily maintenance, scheduled maintenance and care of the machine will
ensure the quality of the beverage and
the durability of the product you have
purchased. A clean machine says a lot
about your passion for coffee making.
Coffee varieties
The choice of the blend is an essential
factor for making the ideal coffee for
your taste. There are a lot of different
varieties of coffee blends on the market to choose from. The differences in
avour, aroma and texture depend on
the quantities of the two varieties of
coffee that make the blend.
Arabica
This is a sweeter and more delicate
variety of coffee, with a rich aroma
and cream that is very thin, dense and
compact.
Robusta
This variety is woody, bitter, fullbodied and spicy, with little aroma.
Its cream is more frothy and grey.
No variety of coffee can make an ideal
Espresso on its own.
The perfect Espresso has a top layer
of cream 2-3 mm thick, a nut brown to
dark brown colour, with reddish tinges
and light streaks, a harmonious avour, a strong, balanced aroma and a
sweet, long-lasting aftertaste.
It has a strong aroma with notes of
o-wers, fruits, toast and chocolate.
These sensations can last just a moment or can persist for a few minutes
in your mouth. The taste is round and
well structured. The acid and bitter
perceptions are well balanced whereas there is little or no astringency.
The ideal parameters to obtain this type
of coffee are:
7 ± 0,5 g. of ground coee.
25 seconds to brew 30 ml.
88 / 92°C when brewing and 80°C in the cup.
8 /10 bar pressure during extraction.
Even Arabica blends often contain a
small amount of Robusta, which is necessary to enhance the cream and add
aroma and body to the espresso.
Blends made for coffee bars usually
contain 20% Robusta but in southern
Italy, where they prefer a stronger
taste, the percentage can reach 4050%. At the end of the day, it’s just a
matter of taste…Experiment until you
nd the blend you like best!
Cappuccinos
There’s nothing better than a cappuccino to start your day. Although they are
made and served everywhere, few people know how to make one properly.
Making the coffee is only part of this
Lelit Espresso - English
EN
complex procedure. The froth often
creates major problems, but thanks to
the steam wand on our machine, with
a few suggestions and a little practice
you’ll soon be making cappuccinos
just like in the coffee bars!
Milk and jug
You need 100 ml of milk to make a
cappuccino.
MILK
5°C
100ml
Fresh whole milk provides a smoother, creamier and tastier froth. Milk
will not froth at over 65°C, so cold
milk from the fridge should be used
to allow more time for it to froth.
The best jug, on the other hand, is
one made of stainless steel, provided
with a spout, such as Lelit models (codes PL101 PL102-not included).
The level of milk should never exceed
half the volume of the jug.
Frothing the milk
Before using the steam wand, some
steam should be released for about
two seconds, as it always contains
some water due to condensation.
2 SEC
Insert the wand so that the end of
the nozzle is near the side of the jug
(pretend you have split the top section into four parts and insert the
nozzle into one of them) and about
one centimetre below the surface of
the milk. Since the milk will start to
expand in volume, you will have to
gradually lower the jug so that the
nozzle is always kept immersed at the
same depth. This process is complete
when the milk reaches a temperature
of about 37°C, or when you can feel
the warmth with your hand. You can
use the thermometer too (code PL107
- not included).
Processing the milk
This phase is very important to make
the cream thick, with a ne texture and
a shiny surface.
65°C
Insert the wand all the way down and tilt
the jug to create a vortex. Heat the milk
to the desired temperature, without exceeding 65°C. Close the steam.
Prepare the milk by rst tapping the jug
on the countertop to remove any air
bubbles and then rotating it to keep the
milk and froth well amalgamated. The
nal result should be a smooth, creamy
surface without any bubbles.
Pouring the milk
You should leave the milk to settle for
21

a least half a minute, so we suggest
you always prepare it before making
the coffee. The doses for a cappuccino should be one part Espresso and
two equal parts of milk and froth.

Cleaning and maintenance
Cleaning and maintenance of the machine are essential for the quality of the
coffee and the durability of the appliance.
Cleaning
The machine must be cleaned at least
once a week. Before starting, remove
the plug from the electrical outlet and
allow the machine to cool. Use a soft
cloth, preferably microber, like the
Lelit cloth (code MC972 - not included), and moisten it with plain water.
Do not use abrasive detergents and
do not immerse the machine in water.
For thorough maintenance, we suggest you use the Lelit brush (code
PL106 - not included), which will help
you clean the nozzles and the spaces
between the ga-skets more effectively,
removing stains and coffee residues
from even the smallest cracks.
Warm running water can be used
to clean the removable parts of the
machine. The lters and lterholder
should never be washed in a dishwasher.
There is no need to clean the lters
after each use, but just to ensure they
are not clogged.
However, to ensure the best performance from your machine, it is essential to thoroughly clean the steam
wand and lterholder after each use.
The lterholder should be cleaned
to remove the greasy coffee residues
that can negatively affect the taste of
your espresso. Wash the exterior part
of the steam wand with a damp cloth
and release a little steam to remove any milk residues from inside the
tube, as these could obstruct the steam output, making it more difcult to
froth milk properly.
Descaling the machine
Use of the machine creates a natural
formation of lime scale, over a time
period depending on how frequently
the machine is used and on the hardness of the water.
Lime scale deposits can obstruct the
tubes and decrease the brewing tem-
23
VIP Line - Elizabeth - PL92T

perature, altering the quality of the
coffee and reducing the lifetime of
your machine.
35lt70lt
To avoid the formation of limescale,
which can also deposit in the internal
circuits, we recommend the use of our
Lelit resin lter to soften the water.
Please insert the lter in the tank following the instructions on the packaging.
The lter puries the water from the
calcium and magnesium salts which
are deposited to form lime scale and
affect the taste of your coffee. Remember that the lter loses its effectiveness after a certain number of gallons treated, so replace it periodically.
Instructions for the use and replacement of the lter are given on the box.
To avoid any possibility of damaging
the machine’s components,
NEVER, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, ADD ANY DESCALING PRODUCTS TO THE WATER TANK.
Watch the tutorial
to understand how
the water softener
lters work.
Backushing
It is advisable to backush the
machine once a month (washing
the operational parts used during
brewing) using the blind lter supplied (d) and the Lelit detergent
sachets (code PL103 - not included).
In order to backush, follow these instructions:
a) Insert the blind lter (d) provided
into the lter holder (e).
b) Add 1 tea spoon of detergent powder (3-5 grams) in the blind lter (d)
c) Insert the lter holder (e) without
coffee rmly into the coffee distribution group (13), to align the handle
with the padlock symbol on it.
d) Keep the switch (2) pressed and
press the hot water switch (4) within 2
seconds.
e) The LCC display (11) will show a ashing drop and the two switches will
keep ashing until the procedure is
nished.
f) When the procedure is nished, the
display (11) returns to its normal status.
g) Remove the lter holder (e), press
the coffee switch (2) to start dispensing and rinse the lter holder under
the hot water that comes out of the
group (13). Press again the switch (2)
to stop dispensing.
h) Clean the distribution group (13)
and the brew gasket rst with the brush (code PL106 - not included) and
then with a damp cloth in order to remove all coffee powder residues.
i) To rinse, insert again the lter holder
(e) into the coffee distribution group
(13) and repeat the operations d), e),
f), without using the detergent powder.
j) Remove the lter holder (e) and the
blind lter (d) from it.
