Tips for café style coffee
The way the espresso pours will tell you
everything. Look out for:
1. Extraction time
Extraction time provides a good indicator
of the quality of the pour. The optimum
time per shot varies between different bean
types and between freshly & pre-ground
coffee grinds. However, in general, the time
will be between 20-30 seconds for both
1 CUP & 2 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 and
oils have been extracted creating a rich
tasting espresso.
• Under Extraction. The pour is quick and
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 and
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 and drip throughout the
entire pour. The resulting crema is very
dark. This occurs when too much of the
essential oils, flavours and 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. Grinds
You may need to vary the coffee grind size
when using different beans.
Important: Ensure beans or pre-ground
grinds are fresh. Old pre-ground grinds
and old beans, no matter the grind size,
will not produce a good tasting espresso.
5. Tamp force
Coffee should be 3mm below top of filter
after tamping.
6. Filter baskets
• Dual wall filter baskets
Supplied with The Compact Barista, these
work well with both pre-ground coffee
grinds and freshly ground coffee grinds.

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.
2. Steam warm up
For best milk texturing results every time,
ensure steam has warmed up before
texturing milk. Steam is ready when STEAM
light is fully on.
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.
5. Keeping steam tip position
As the steam heats and 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.
Barista Tip: milk texturing sounds
• Gurgling - tip not deep enough, raise jug.
• Smooth Hissing - just right for latte.
• Screeching - tip too deep, lower jug.
3. Position
Place the steam wand in the jug spout at the
12 o'clock position, with the steam wand tip
in the milk at the 3 o'clock position. Keep the
steam wand tip just under the surface of the
milk. This will create a whirlpool action.
18
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 on next page)
7. Immerse tip
After creating the desired amount of foam,
immerse the steam wand half way deep into
the milk. This heats all the milk and pulls
in milk instead of air. This ensures the milk
and foam are blended together, making it
denser and smoother.
Barista Tip: Milk temperature
• Under - if not heated long enough,
it will be warm with little texture.
• Optimum - see table below.
• Over - if heated for too long it will start
to boil around 72°C and will have a
burnt taste with all texture lost.

9. Tap and swirl the jug
Pour from the milk jug into your cup in one
steady motion.
10. The finishing touches
After steaming milk, wipe the steam wand
with a clean damp cloth to remove any milk
residue.
11. Purge steam wand
Position the steam wand over the drip tray.
Immediately purge the steam wand by
turning the dial to the HOT WATER position
for 3 seconds.
Return the dial to the OFF position.
Note:
Above recommendations might
vary from one milk brand to another and
depending on your taste preference.

Group head rubber seal
A rubber seal is located in the group head
and creates a seal against the filter basket
when making an espresso.
Important:
When your espresso machine
is not being used, we recommend that
you do not leave the group handle
inserted into the group head, as this will
reduce the life of the 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 head, or if the group
handle feels loose when fully rotated to the
centre position.
Note:
Contact Sunbeam should you think
that the group head seal needs replacing.
Do not attempt to change the seal
without first consulting Sunbeam.
Descaling
After continued use, your machine may
develop a build up of mineral deposits and will
require occasional descaling. We recommend
descaling your machine every 4-6 months,
although this period will depend on the
hardness of water and frequency of use.
Important:
when it’s time to descale. The STANDBY,
1 CUP, 2 CUP and STEAM buttons will
flash 5 times. You will need to descale
your machine and reset it to cancel the
descale warning.
Descaling solution
Sunbeam Descaler (EMA0015CL)
are available for purchase from Sunbeam.
Details are on the back page.
Preparing for descaling
• Fill water tank with solution
- Fill water tank to the MAX level and add one
Sunbeam Descaler sachet. Allow powder to
fully dissolve.
• Place containers
- Place 2 large cups under the group head and
steam wand.
Your machine will let you know
• Power
Ensure that:
- The power plug is inserted into the outlet and
turned on.
- The machine is ON and in the ready state.
• Descaling
1. Press the 2 CUP button and allow the
descaling solution to pour through. Then
turn the dial to HOT WATER and allow
approximately 100mL of water to pour
through.
2. Press the STANDBY button to turn off the
machine.
3. Leave the descaling solution in the machine
for 5 minutes.
4. Press the STANDBY button to turn on the
machine.
5. Repeat Step 1 three times.
6. Discard the descaling solution and rinse the
water tank with water.
7. Fill the water tank with water to the MAX
level.
8. Repeat Step 1 two times with water.
9. After descaling, cancel the descaling
warning by simultaneously pressing the 1
CUP, 2 CUP and STEAM buttons for
3 seconds.
• Cancel the descale warning
- After descaling, cancel the descale warning
by simultaneously pressing the 1 CUP, 2 CUP
