Sunbeam’s Safety Precautions
FOR YOUR SUNBEAM ESPRESSO MACHINE
WITH INTEGRATED GRINDER:
Always place the unit on a flat, level surface.
•
• Do not operate whilst placed in a cabinet.
• Do not operate without water in reservoir.
Fill Water Reservoir with only clean and cold
water. Observe the maximum filling volume
is 2.8litres.
Check the Bean Hopper for the presence of
•
foreign objects before using.
Do not pour water or any other liquid into the
•
Bean Hopper or Grinder.
Do not attempt to re-grind ground coffee.
•
Do not remove the Group Handle during the
•
espresso pour or water flow as the unit is
under pressure. Removing the Group Handle
during either of these operations can lead to
a scalding or injury.
•
The Steam and Hot Water Wand becomes very
hot during texturing milk and water flow. This
may cause burns in case of contact, therefore
avoid any direct contact with the Steam Wand.
Do not allow the Power Cord to come into
•
contact with the hot parts of the machine,
including the Warming Plate & Steam Wand.
•
Do not place hands directly under the steam,
hot water or espresso pour as this can lead to
a scalding or injury.
The temperature of accessible surfaces may
•
be high when the appliance is operating. Even
after use, the heating element surface is
subject to residual heat after use.
•
Always operate the Grinder with the Bean
Hopper inserted in the Grinder.
• Always switch off and unplug at power outlet
before cleaning the Espresso Machine and
integrated Grinder
• Children should not perform cleaning and
user maintenance without supervision.
• Always switch off and unplug at power outlet
if there is any problem during the grinding or
coffee making process.
• Do not place your hand in or near the Burrs
while the Grinder is in operation.
•
Always switch off and unplug at power outlet
before touching any part of the Grinder that
moves during use.
Do not use an appliance for any purpose
•
other than its intended use. Injury could occur
from misuse.

Tips for Grinding & Tamping
1. Coffee Beans
For optimum flavour & extraction:
- Buy freshly roasted coffee beans in small
250g batches to reduce the storage time.
- Use within two weeks of opening.
- Store coffee beans in a dry, airtight
container. Place in a cool dark cupboard.
Important: Old coffee beans, no matter
the Grind Setting, will have a fast
extraction and will produce an under
extracted tasting espresso.
2. Grind Setting
You may need to vary the Grind Setting when
using different coffee beans and depending
on bean freshness. The range of 30 Grind
Settings allows for precision adjustment,
controlling the grind size & ultimately the
characteristics of the resulting extraction.
It is important to experiment to achieve the
ideal extraction, it may take many attempts
before you reach your ideal extraction.
3. Filter Baskets
• Single Wall Filter Baskets
These work with freshly ground coffee
grinds and are supplied with the
Barista Max.
One CupTwo Cup
Note: Pre-ground coffee grinds are too
coarse to use with Single Wall Filter Baskets.
• Dual Wall Filter Baskets
These work best with pre-ground coffee
grinds, but can also be used for freshly
ground coffee grinds

Barista Tip:
After adjusting the Grind Setting it is
important to purge (for 1-2 sec) a small
amount of coffee grinds from the Grinder.
This removes the coffee grinds of the
previous Grind Setting; ensuring the next
espresso extraction is made entirely of the
coffee grinds from the new Grind Setting.
- Smaller number settings deliver finer
coffee grinds & a slower extraction.
- Larger number settings deliver coarser
coffee grinds & a faster extraction.

4. Grind Dosage & Tamp Force
For best results, the amount of coffee
grinds dosed should remain consistent.
Note: It is normal for the correct dose of
coffee grinds to appear overfilled in the
Filter Basket before tamping.

Tips for Perfect Espresso Extraction
The way the espresso pours will tell
you everything.
1. Extraction Time
Extraction time is a good indicator of the
quality of the pour. The optimum time per
shot varies between types & freshness of
coffee beans. However, in general, the pour
time should be between 20-30 seconds for
both One & Two Cup shots.
2. Type of Extraction
•
Optimum Extraction
A quality pour has a steady flow with a
consistency similar to that of warm honey.
The resulting crema is dark golden.
The sweetest flavours & oils have been
extracted creating a rich tasting espresso.
•Under Extraction
The pour is fast & light in colour, the
resulting crema is thin with a creamy light
brown colour which quickly dissipates.
This occurs when too little of the essential
oils, flavours & colours from the coffee
grinds have been extracted. This creates a
sour tasting espresso.
•Over Extraction
There may be no pour, or it may be slow
& drip throughout the entire pour. The
resulting crema is very dark. This occurs
when too much of the essential oils,
flavours & colours from the coffee grinds
have been extracted. This creates a bitter
tasting espresso.
3. Look for Colour Change
The optimum shot contains 3 elements:
Heart: At the base - starts out dark brown.
Body: Blends with the heart - becomes a
rich caramel with reddish reflections.
Crema: The layer on top of the body -
dark golden.

4. Espresso Extraction Guide
This guide will help to improve espresso extraction, to achieve great tasting coffee, every time.
* If using pre-ground coffee grinds, use Dual Wall Filter Baskets.
^ Ensure coffee beans or pre-ground grinds are fresh.
^^ Old coffee beans no matter the Grind Setting will have a fast extraction
and will produce an under extracted tasting espresso.

Tips for Milk Texturing
Milk texturing is the steaming of milk.
Key Elements of Textured Milk
Milk that has been textured correctly has
a thick, rich microfoam with a silky sheen.
Texturing involves both heating and aerating
milk using steam. Vital elements include
positioning of the Steam Wand, when to
adjust the Milk Jug position and reaching the
correct temperature. Use the below steps to
help you create café-style microfoam.
1. Fill Milk Jug
Add cold milk around 4°C
into a chilled
clean Stainless Steel Jug.
Fill to the bottom of the spout.
Note: The volume of milk will increase or
’stretch’ during texturing, so don’t overfill
the Jug.
4°C
FILL
MAX
FINISHED
MAX
A larger capacity Milk Jug is available for
purchase from Sunbeam. Details are on
the back page.
2. Steam Warm Up
Turn DIAL to STEAM. For best milk texturing
results every time, allow steam to heat
up. Steam is ready when STEAM LIGHT
is fully ON. You will also hear the Pump
start. Pause steam by returning DIAL to the
vertical position.
PAUSE
3. Position
Place the Steam Wand Arm in the Jug spout
at the 12 o'clock position, with the Steam
Wand Tip in the milk at the 3 o'clock position,
a finger width away from the edge of the Jug.
Keep Steam Wand Tip just under the surface
of the milk. Turn DIAL back to STEAM
position to start texturing. A whirlpool action
should be created in the Jug.
12
FINGER
WIDTH

4. Sound
How air is introduced to the milk
determines the consistency of the foam. If
large gulps of air are added to the milk, the
foam will have large bubbles. Introducing
air to the milk in a controlled, gentle fashion
indicated by a gentle hissing sound, will
ensure the milk has fine aerated microfoam.
Barista Tip: Milk Texturing Sounds
• Gurgling - Tip not deep enough, raise Jug.
• Smooth Hissing - Just right for latte.
• Screeching - Tip too deep, lower Jug
.
5. Keeping Steam Tip Position
As the steam heats & textures the milk,
the milk will stretch causing the level of
the milk in the Jug to rise. As this happens
follow the level of the milk by lowering the
Jug, keeping the Steam Wand Tip just below
the surface.

Note: Some adjustments to technique will
be required when using non-dairy milk.
Tips for Milk Texturing
6. Amount of Foam
Create the amount of microfoam you
want. Cappuccinos traditionally have more
microfoam than flat whites.
(See Coffee Styles to Try, pages 18-19)
7. Immerse Tip
After creating the desired amount of foam,
immerse the Steam Wand half depth way
into the milk. This heats all the milk and
pulls in milk instead of air. This ensures the
milk & foam are blended together, making it
denser & smoother.
9. Purging the Steam Wand
When correct milk temperature has been
reached, turn the DIAL to the vertical
position and remove the Jug from the Steam
Wand. Place Milk Jug to one side. Place the
Steam Wand over the Drip Tray. Turn the
DIAL to the HOT WATER position for a few
seconds, then return the DIAL to the vertical
position. This will remove any milk that has
been sucked into the Steam Wand Tip.

8. Correct Temperature
An indication of reaching correct milk
temperature is when the Milk Jug base
can only be touched comfortably for
approximately 3 seconds.
Barista Tip: Milk Temperature
• Under - If not heated long enough,
it will be warm with little texture.
• Optimum - See below table.
• Over - If heated for too long it will start
to boil around 72°C and will have a
burnt taste with all texture lost.

10. Wipe Steam Wand
Wipe the Steam Wand Arm & Tip with
a clean damp cloth to remove any milk
residue.
11. Tap & Swirl the Jug
Gently tapping the Jug on the benchtop
helps to release larger trapped air bubbles.
Swirling helps the milk & froth to combine
for an even consistency & a
silky appearance.

When not being used, we
recommend not to leave the Group Handle
inserted into the Group Head, as this will
reduce the life of the Silicone Seal.
Over time this Seal loses its elasticity and
may require replacement. The seal may
need replacing when watery espresso leaks
from around the Group Handle during
extraction, or if the Group Handle is loose
when fully turned to the centre position.
