Sunbeam’s Safety Precautions
FOR YOUR SUNBEAM BARISTA PLUS ESPRESSO
MACHINE WITH GRINDER AND TIMER:
• Always place the unit on a flat, level surface.
• Do not place in a cabinet when in use.
• 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.
2
• 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.

O. LED Digital Display Grind Timer
When the GRIND light is illuminated, the
grinder is ready for use.
The grind timer allows you to measure
and adjust the amount of coffee ground to
achieve a better extraction.
For example, on grind setting 16 - 20:
1 shot takes 13-17 secs to grind.
2 shots take 19 - 23 to grind.
The higher the grind setting, the shorter the
grind time. The lower the grind setting, the
longer the grind time.
Shot Timer
When the POUR light is illuminated, the
MANUAL, 1 CUP and 2 CUP buttons are
ready for use.
The shot timer allows you to target the ideal
shot time, giving you the feedback to finesse
your grind and tamp settings to achieve a
better extraction.
Coffee reaches its optimal flavour between
the 20 to 30 second shot time. The shot time
can vary between coffee bean and roast type.
As a guide, aim to achieve an extraction time
between 20 to 30 seconds for both 1 shot
and 2 shot pours.
An under extracted shot may taste sour,
acidic and watery. An over extracted shot
may taste bitter, dry and grainy.
Achieving the perfect shot comes with
time practicing. Use the Timer's feedback
to adjust your grind and tamp pressure to
master your coffee creations.

More Details about your Sunbeam Barista Plus
Temp° IQ Shot Control™
Optimum temperature
The Temp° IQ Shot Control™ is an exclusive
technology developed by Sunbeam for your
Barista Plus. This 3 way system delivers the
accurate & stable water temperature that is
needed for consistently great tasting coffee.
•Thermoblock Technology
The Thermoblock ensures fast heat up,
and precise water temperature for the best
espresso extraction & milk steaming. Only
the required amount of water is heated
for speed and efficiency. The Thermoblock
heats water so that espresso extracts
at 92°C for the optimum extraction of
oils from the tamped coffee grinds.
Temperatures above or below will result in
burnt/bitter or weak tasting espresso.
•Advanced PID Controller
The PID monitors and controls the
Thermoblock to ensure water is always
delivered to tamped coffee grinds at the
precise temperature needed.
• Gentle Pre-infusion
Small amounts of water are gently
introduced onto the tamped coffee grinds
prior to the steady flow of water, for a
richer flavoured espresso. (For different
Pre-infusion profiles, see page 23)
