About espresso coffee

The Sunbeam Café Crema is the ultimate espresso machine for people who really appreciate fine coffee. With its robust metal design, powerful 15 BAR pump and ‘Thermoblock’ heating system, the Sunbeam Café Crema will provide many enjoyable cups of quality coffee.

Coffee is an integral part of Australian culture. With Café numbers increasing, the demand for the perfect cup combined with the right atmosphere is the goal of many coffee connoisseurs.

What makes a good coffee?

Sunbeam have consulted with experienced coffee makers and appreciators of coffee through every stage of design, to ensure the machine delivers a great coffee every time. There are many factors that contribute to the perfect coffee. The words’ ‘taste’ and ‘aroma’ are consistently used when describing the perfect cup.

The sweet aroma and taste of the perfect coffee is largely due to the correct combination of temperature and pressure during the brewing process. The ‘Thermoblock’ heating system ensures the water is at the correct temperature, so that the full coffee flavour is extracted.

Secondly, the combination of the 15 BAR pump, dual-wall filter and stabilising baffle ensures the correct pressure at which the liquid espresso is released from the spout. The flow should consist of both liquid and cream. This cream is commonly known as the Crema. The perfect Crema should be thick and stable and preserve the coffee flavour, aroma and temperature. Hence the name, Sunbeam Café Crema.

We hope you have many enjoyable coffee experiences with the Sunbeam Café Crema.

Should you need any further assistance, please don’t hesitate to contact the Sunbeam coffee hotline on free call 1800 025 059.

Features of your Sunbeam Café Crema

15 BAR pump

The Italian designed and made 15 BAR pump, supplies the correct and essential pressure necessary for full extraction of oils from the coffee grinds.

‘Thermoblock’ heating system

Ensures the precise temperature is achieved. Espresso needs to be made with hot, rather than boiling water. By heating the water to 92°C (just below boiling point), it allows the water to fully extract the oils from the coffee.

‘Crema’ system

Italian designed, the dual-wall filter creates additional back pressure and the stabilising baffle produces a steady pour.

Operations Guide for your Café Crema (continued)

With a Sunbeam pump espresso machine and a little experience, you can create café-quality coffee at home. Here are a few helpful suggestions:

• A single shot of espresso should result in only 30-35mls of coffee.

• The grind of coffee is critical. Use a fine to medium grind for domestic espresso machines.

• A common mistake is running too much water through the ground coffee, resulting in a thin and bitter tasting espresso.

• Ensure your coffee grinds are ‘tamped’ evenly. ‘Tamping’ refers to the amount of pressure with which coffee grinds are packed into the filter.

• If your espresso pours too slowly, tamp the coffee grind more lightly, or try a coarser grind.

• If your espresso is thin and watery, tamp the coffee grinds harder, or try a finer grind.

• Always use cold milk and a clean stainless steel jug when steaming.

• Don’t boil the milk when steaming. The ideal temperature is when the jug becomes too hot to touch.

• Always use the freshest beans or ground coffee available and store in an airtight container in a cool, dry, dark place.

• Whole bean coffee stays fresh longer than ground coffee.

• When grinding your own coffee, never grind more than you will use for immediate brewing. Once ground, the coffee will begin to loose it’s flavour.

• Although not recommended, if you need to keep coffee for extended periods of time, it’s best to freeze the coffee. Although before use, ensure that the coffee has been allowed to thaw to room temperature.

• Keep your espresso machine clean and thoroughly rinsed. Run water through the brewing head and flush the steaming nozzle in fresh water after each use.

• Little things count – warming your cups, using filtered water and serving the coffee immediately after brewing do make a difference.

Secrets to the perfect cup

Milk texturing is the steaming of milk to heat it and to create froth. Similar to making an espresso, perfecting the art of milk texturing takes time and practice.

• Attach the froth enhancing attachment to the end of the steam nozzle on your espresso machine. You can also choose to steam the milk without the attachment.

• Using fresh, cold milk, fill the stainless steel frothing jug to no more than

/3full.

• The amount of milk you steam should be adequate for the coffees you are preparing. Keep in mind that the volume of milk will increase or stretch during the texturing process.

• Before inserting the steam nozzle into the milk, activate the steam function to remove any condensed water. To do this, hold an empty glass or cloth under the steam nozzle and turn the operating dial to the steam position.

• Insert the steam nozzle into the frothing jug. Lower the jug so that the tip of the steam nozzle is just below the surface of the milk and place your hand on the side of the jug.

• Move the frothing jug so that the steam nozzle is to one side, this will create a whirlwind motion in the milk. As the steam heats the milk, the milk will begin to rise. Follow the level of the milk by lowering the jug, always keeping the tip of the steam nozzle just below the surface.

• Once the milk has stretched to double its original volume, lower the steam nozzle further into the milk and continue the whirlwind motion. This will give the milk a fine texture with no big bubbles.

• Cease steaming when the frothing jug becomes too hot to continue holding the palm of your hand against the side.

• Pour the textured milk into your espresso as soon as possible.

Easy steps for frothing milk

Before using your Café Crema for the first time or if you have not used it for some time, rinse the machine by running water through without coffee in the filter holder, as follows:

Note: Throughout these instructions the numbers you see highlighted and in brackets refer back to the diagrams at the start of this instruction manual.

• Open the lid of the water reservoir (1) and fill with cold water (2). Alternatively you can open the lid and remove the water reservoir using the handle (3). Then fill with cold water (4).

• Replace the water reservoir firmly into the unit (5) and close lid.

• Insert the power cord into a 230-240V AC power outlet and turn the power on. Start the unit (6). The red ‘Power’ light and ‘Warm Up’ light will both illuminate.

• Place one of the filters in the filter handle (7). Then position the filter handle on the machines brewing head.

• To ensure that the filter handle is in the

correct position, turn the handle so it points to the left and place the filter handle flat against the brewing head (8), then turn the handle towards the right (9), as far as it can go (10).

Note: Do not over tighten.

• Place a sufficiently large container under

the brewing head (10).

• As soon as the orange ‘Warm Up’ light goes off, turn the operating dial to the setting (11) and allow all the water in the water reservoir to run through.

• If necessary, you may need to stop the operation by turning the operating dial to the ’Off’ position to empty the container, then resume the operation.

Before using your Café Crema

1. ESPRESSO FUNCTION

For best results, it is ideal to pre-heat your cups, filter handle and filter as follows:

• Insert the power cord into a 230-240V AC power outlet and turn the power on.

• Fill the water reservoir (1) (2), (3) (4) (5) with cold water and start the appliance (6).

• Put the filter handle and an empty filter in place (7) (8) (9), and place cups underneath the filter handle.

• When the machine is ready, the orange ‘Warm Up’ light goes off, turn the operating dial to setting (11).

• When the cups are full of hot water, return the operating dial to the ’off’ position.

Note: Once the appliance has been on for a while, the coffee cups can be warmed by placing them upside down on the cup warming plate (12).

Preparing an espresso:

• Insert the power cord into a 230-240V AC power outlet and turn the power on.

• Fill the water reservoir (1) (2), (3) (4) (5) with cold water.

• Start the unit (6). The red ‘Power’ light and orange ‘Warm Up’ light will both illuminate.

• Pre-heat your coffee cups by placing them upside down on the cup warming plate (12).

• Select the required filter (7) for 1 or 2 cups of coffee and place in the filter handle.

• Using the measuring spoon supplied, place one or two measures of ground coffee into the filter (13). With the other end of the measuring spoon, use the tamper to push (pack) down the coffee grinds (14). Do not apply too much pressure.

Important: Be sure not to over-fill the filter with too much coffee, and wipe around the edge of the filter to remove any coffee grinds (15).

• Place the filter handle on the machines brewing head. Position the handle so it points to the left, place the filter handle flat against the brewing head, then turn the handle towards the right

(16) as far as it can go. Note: Do not over tighten.

• Place 1 or 2 pre-heated cups below each of the holes in the filter holder.

• When the Café Crema is at the correct temperature the orange ‘Warm Up’ light will go out, then turn the operating dial to the setting (17). You will hear the machine making a pumping noise, this is normal.

• Once the cup/s are filled to the desired level, turn the operating dial to the ‘off’ position.

• Remove the filter handle and the filter by turning the filter handle to the left.

• To remove the used coffee grinds from the filter, push the filter lock forward over the edge of the filter, turn the filter handle upside down in a bin and gently tap out the coffee (18).

Functions of your Café Crema

• After each use of the espresso machine for best results when making consecutive cups of espresso we recommend that you flush a small amount of water through the machine with the filter handle already removed from the brewing head simply turn the operating dial to the setting and allow the water to run through until you have a consistent flow of water. This will wash out any old or used coffee grinds stuck to the underside of the brewing head and also help ensure the correct water temperature for your next shot of espresso.

• Once the orange ‘Warm Up’ light goes out your machine is ready to make the next espresso. Note: Do not leave the filter handle locked in position for extended periods, or when machine is not in use. This shortens the life of the brew head rubber seal.

2. STEAM FUNCTION

The froth enhancing attachment makes it easy to produce textured milk. Note: We recommend that you make the espresso first, then steam the milk.

• Attach the froth enhancing attachment to the end of the steam nozzle (19). You may also choose to steam the milk without the attachment.

Important: For the froth enhancing attachment to work you must ensure that it is pushed firmly onto the steam nozzle.

• Fill the water reservoir (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) with cold water.

• Start the unit (6). The red ‘Power’ light and orange ‘Warm Up’ light will both illuminate.

• Swing the steam nozzle to the side of the machine.

• Pour cold milk into a stainless steel frothing jug to no more than

/3full.

Note: For best results we recommend to use refrigerated milk and a stainless steel jug that is well chilled.

• When the Café Crema is the right temperature the orange ‘Warm Up’ light will go out.

• Once only steam is coming out, quickly insert the steam nozzle into the frothing jug. Lower the jug so that the tip of the steam nozzle is just below the surface of the milk and place your hand on the side of the jug.

Important: Do not allow the tip of the nozzle to touch the bottom of the container because this could obstruct the passage of the steam.

• Move the frothing jug so that the steam nozzle is to one side, this will create a whirlwind motion to the milk. As the steam heats the milk, the milk will begin to rise. Follow the level of the milk by lowering the jug, always keeping the tip of the steam nozzle just below the surface.

• Cease steaming when the frothing jug becomes too hot to continue holding the palm of your hand against the side. Simply turn the operating dial to the ’off’ position and remove the jug.

Note: Do not boil the milk.

Functions of your Café Crema (continued)

Cleaning the steam nozzle and froth attachment

You must clean the steam nozzle and froth attachment immediately after each use. Simply wipe the stainless steel steam nozzle clean with a damp cloth and place the froth attachment under warm running water to remove any excess milk. Also, briefly turn the operating dial to setting to clear any remaining milk out of the steam nozzle.

Caution: Steam from the nozzle is extremely hot and there is danger of scalding.

Hot water drinks

You are able to heat water for hot drinks such as tea or instant soups using the steam nozzle.

Note: Heating liquids is done with the steam nozzle only, so ensure that the froth attachment is not in place.

• Fill the water reservoir (1) (2) (3) (4) (5)

with cold water.

• Start the unit (6). The red ‘Power’ light and orange ‘Warm Up’ light will both illuminate.

• Remove the froth attachment from the steam nozzle (21) and swing the steam nozzle to the side of the machine.

• When the Café Crema is the right temperature the orange ‘Warm Up’ light will go out.

• Immerse the steam nozzle in the cup or container holding the liquid to be heated and turn the operating dial to the

setting (22).

• When the liquid is hot enough, turn the operating dial to ’off’ position and remove the container or cup.

Note: It is normal for the orange ‘Warm Up’ light to turn on and off during heating of water.

Functions of your Café Crema (continued)

The coffee making process involves extracting oils out of coffee grinds to make espresso coffee. Deposits of these oils build up over time and affect the taste of the coffee and operation of the espresso machine.

Regular cleaning to remove these oils is essential for espresso machines to keep operating effectively. Flushing water, through the brewing head and the steam nozzle, is the easiest way to keep your machine clean after making each coffee, and at the end of your coffee making session.

Important: Never wash your espresso machine accessories in the dishwasher.

Drip tray

Remove the grid and drip tray at regular intervals to empty (23), (24). If the red floating level indicator appears through the grid, empty the drip tray immediately.

Clean the drip tray and its grid with water and a little non-abrasive washing up liquid, rinse and dry.

Over time it is normal for the inside of the drip tray to be stained by the oils in the coffee.

Note: Ensure that when you are replacing the drip tray that the plastic lining is in position (25).

The brewing head, filters & filter handle

The filter and filter handle should be washed after each use by rinsing them under warm water. Wash at regular intervals in warm soapy water using a mild detergent.

To clean the brewing head, flush water through and wipe the head and around the inside rim with a damp cloth.

To assist in keeping the filter and the brew head clean, at the end of each coffee making session we recommend you run the machine, with the filter in place, without coffee – using water only.

Should the holes in the filters become clogged with coffee granules use a fine bristled brush to remove them.

Brew head rubber seal

This seal is located in the brewing head and creates a seal against the filter handle when making an espresso.

Note: When your Café Crema is not being used, we recommend that you do not leave the filter handle attached to the machine as this will reduce the life of the seal.

Over time this seal looses its elasticity and will require replacement – usually every 6-12 months. Signs that the seal is deteriorating are when: the filter handle rotates to the far right and feels loose, or steam escapes from around the brewing head during use.

The cup warming plate and exterior

Wipe over the unit with a damp cloth and wipe dry. Do not use abrasives or metal scourers, as these will scratch the exterior surface.

Steam nozzle and froth attachment

The steam nozzle and froth attachment needs to be cleaned each time you froth milk or heat any other liquid. To clean the steam nozzle, wipe with a damp cloth and for the froth attachment, simply rinse it under warm water.

On a monthly basis we recommend thoroughly cleaning the steam nozzle. To do this soak the nozzle in water with the stainless frothing jug resting on the drip tray. Ensure that the water level in the jug is over the nozzle. Run steam through the nozzle for 30 seconds, then leave to soak overnight. In the morning poke a pin up the steam nozzle, the turn the machine on and run steam through the nozzle again for 30 seconds.

Important: Do not wash parts in the dishwasher. Do not immerse the unit in water.

Care and Cleaning

After continued use, your espresso machine may develop a build-up of mineral deposits. Thus your machine will require occasional ‘descaling’.

We recommend that you descale your machine every 2-3 months, although this period will depend on the hardness of water and frequency of use of the machine.

Descaling solution

Use Sunbeam Liquid Descaler, which is available at any Sunbeam Service Centre listed at the back of this book. Alternatively, dissolve 2 dessertspoons of tartaric acid (créme of tartar) or citric acid in half a litre of lukewarm water.

Important: Do not use vinegar.
