ESPRESSO BASICS
Espresso is considered the ultimate coffee experience to coffee connoisseurs. High
pressure is used to force hot water through finely ground coffee to produce a
concentrated, richly flavored and aromatic extraction. The brewing of superior
espresso is a balance of many elements, including high quality coffee beans, the
exact grind, how the grounds have been tamped, the right amount of pressure, the
temperature of the water, and the perfect extraction time. The process, a true
combination of science and art, requires practice, patience and passion, making
the mastery of the process all the more gratifying. Below are a few basics to help
you explore the espresso experience, while becoming a master of the process using
your VillaWare Prima Espresso Maker.
1. WATER
Fill water tank with fresh, cold water to avoid a “flat” taste. Water should be
filled to a level between the MIN and MAX markings on the water tank.
Change the water in the tank often. Use bottled, purified water if your tap
water does not taste good. Do not use mineral water or distilled water, as they
can cause damage to your machine.
2. TEMPERATURE
The boiler and the thermostat in your espresso maker ensure that the temperature
of the water is at an ideal temperature for brewing espresso and steaming milk.
The red heating light will turn ON when the unit is heating. The heating light
will turn OFF when temperatures for these functions are reached, signaling the
best times to begin brewing or steaming. This light will continue to go on
and off at regular intervals, showing that the boiler’s temperature is being
maintained while incoming cold water from the tank replenishes outgoing
hot water. When the STEAM switch is OFF, the thermostat will be set for
about 200˚F, the optimal temperature for extracting the full flavor of coffee.
When the STEAM switch is ON, the thermostat will be set for 300˚F. Your
espresso machine also has a temperature gauge that allows you to check the
temperature of the unit at any time.
To ensure that your freshly brewed espresso is still hot by the time you drink
it, it is best to heat your machine, portafilter, portafilter attachments, and
espresso or cappuccino cups before beginning to brew:
• The empty portafilter and desired Thermocream parts can be warmed by
attaching them to the brew head a few minutes before making espresso.
• Espresso and cappuccino cups can be warmed by placing on the warming
rack on top of the machine.
• When making multiple shots of espresso, be sure to rinse the portafilter
with hot water after br
e
wing so the por
tafilter does not cool down. Knock
used grounds from the filter, rinse filter with very hot water, and dry filter
parts before re-filling with coffee. After filling, pull next shot immediately.
Note: The portafilter should not be attached to the brew head until you
are ready to immediately begin brewing. If the filled portafilter is left
attached to the hot brew head, the coffee grounds will burn.

3. PRESSURE
Pressure is what forces the water to run through the ground coffee during the
brewing process. The correct amount of pressure applied is critical to making
the perfect espresso. Too much pressure causes the grounds to be over-extracted,
resulting in strong, bitter espresso. Too little pressure results in weak and bitter
espresso. The machine is equipped with a 15 BAR pump, resulting in a full
extraction of oils from the coffee.
4. COFFEE
High-quality espressos start with quality Arabica beans. The grind should feel
slightly smaller than sugar granules when rubbed between the thumb and
finger. Be sure to use a freshly and finely ground coffee for the best flavor.
The best espresso is made with coffee that is ground immediately before
brewing. Purchase ground coffee or grind coffee in small batches to ensure
freshness. The proper grind is also essential. If the coffee grind is too coarse,
the water will pass through too quickly. The coffee will be weak and have
little crema. If the coffee grind is too fine, no or very little water will pass
through the coffee and the result will be too little coffee or coffee that is bitter
without crema.
Your espresso maker also uses E.S.E. (or Easy Serving Espresso) pods, which
contain pre-measured amounts of finely ground coffee, pre-packaged in a
paper filter. Espresso pods are easy to use and make no mess. To use, simply
place the pod onto the pod portafilter, printed side facing down. It is
important to handle the coffee pod as little as possible and only by its
edges, as the oils from your skin can compromise the quality. It is especially
important not to touch the coffee area of the pod. Attach the filled portafilter
to the brew head to begin brewing. Afterward, simply remove the used pod
and discard.
5. PORTAFILTER WITH THERMOCREAM SYSTEM
The portafilter for coffee grounds holds 2 parts of a unique system that
allows you to make espresso specifically suited to your particular taste:
• Thermocream filter and disk
• Thermocream filter
8
ACACACACACACACACACACCACACACACACACACACACA
9
ACACACACACACACACACACCACACACACACACACACACA
The filter portion can be used on its own, producing espresso with a frothier
crema. The disc can also be used, along with the filter, producing espresso
with a finer-textured crema. If used, the disc portion should be placed at
the bottom of the portafilter; the filter fits above it, holding the ground
coffee. When the filter portion is used by itself, it fits directly onto the
portafilter. To secure the filter on, line up the 2 bumps on the filter portion
with the 2 V-shaped notches on the portafilter; turn to lock filter.
6. DOSING
Dosing is the process of measuring ground coffee into the filter.
Single shot of espresso
• Requires 1 level measure or
1
⁄4 ounce (7 grams) of ground coffee
• Yields about 1.5 ounces espresso
• For extra strong espresso, up to 2 level measures or
1
⁄2 ounce (14 grams)
of ground coffee may be used with the same volume of water.
Double shot of espresso
• Requires 2 level measures or
1
⁄2 ounce (14 grams) of ground coffee
• Yields about 2.5 to 3 ounces espresso
Use the coffee measure provided to measure out the perfect amount. To
measure accurately, use a flat edge, such as a small spatula, to level coffee
grounds with top of measure. Refrain from overfilling the filter. An excess
amount of coffee may make it difficult to lock the filter, may cause coffee to
leak out the sides of the filter during brewing, or simply result in uneven
extraction and poor quality espresso.
7. TAMPING
Tamping is the process of evenly pressing ground coffee into the filter. The
flat surface yields a more even extraction from the high-pressured water. After
dosing the coffee into the filter, level the top surface by smoothing with a
finger, or by moving tamp over the surface in a light circular motion. Use
tamp to press down firmly and evenly on coffee until a smooth, even disc
with no gaps is formed. Coffee that is tamped too lightly will result in a
rapid, uneven extraction and coffee that tastes weak. Coffee that is tamped
too firmly will result in slow extraction and bitter, over-extracted espresso.
10
ACACACACACACACACACACCACACACACACACACACACA
11
ACACACACACACACACACACCACACACACACACACACACA
the steam wand may be too high. Lower the container of milk as the volume
expands, always being sure to keep the wand immersed. When there is sufficient
foam, lower the steam wand into the bottom of the container and continue
steaming underneath until the temperature becomes almost too hot to handle.
This will also give the milk a finer texture. The milk should be about 140 to
165˚F. Care must be taken not to overheat the milk or it will scald (above
170˚F). The milk should double or nearly triple in volume. If you hear a
loud roaring or howling sound, the steam wand may be too deep into the
milk and may be scalding the milk. When done, turn the steam lever OFF by
returning it to its upright position.
Steamed milk is used to make lattes. Begin making steamed milk in much the
same way as foamed milk, but immerse the wand all the way to the bottom
of the pitcher.
12. DISPENSING HOT WATER
You may dispense hot water through the steam wand. This hot water can be
used for preparing hot tea, instant hot chocolate, instant soup, etc.
FIVE STEPS TO MAKING PERFECT ESPRESSO
1. Set up Espresso Maker
• Add fresh, cold water.
• Be sure all controls are OFF, and the steam lever is in the
upright position.
• Plug in espresso maker.
• Turn POWER switch ON. The POWER light will turn on.
2. Run hot water rinse for first-time use or when the unit has not been used
for a long time
• Attach empty portafilter with Thermocream parts to the brew head;
turn counterclockwise about 45˚ to lock.
• Use Thermocream filter and disc to obtain a finer crema
• Use Thermocream filter only to obtain a frothier crema
• Place an empty mug underneath.
• Turn BREW switch ON.
• Allow hot water to drain into mug until almost full; turn BREW
switch OFF.
• Discard water; check water tank and refill, if necessary.
8. POD PORTAFILTER
This filter allows you to use E.S.E pods. Non-E.S.E. coffee pods may not fit
properly, and should not be used. Follow manufacturer’s directions for inserting
pod into portafilter. One coffee pod will produce 1 shot of espresso. If you
want 2 shots, you must brew them separately into the same cup. The filter can
not accommodate 2 pods at the same time. (See #4 above for more
information about using E.S.E. pods.)
9. THE POUR
The thick, rich and creamy brew that is produced pours out very dark at first,
but gets lighter toward the end of the cycle. The recommended amount and
time for single and double espressos:
• Single shot: about 1.5 ounces espresso – 18 to 24 seconds
• Double shot: about 2.5 to 3 ounces espresso – 20 to 25 seconds
Espresso will be dispensed from both spouts of the portafilter. When making
one cup, be sure cup is centered under both spouts.
10. CREMA
Crema is the creamy, golden foam that forms at the surface of espresso,
marking the sign of a high-quality extraction. Incorporating emulsified coffee
oils, the crema captures the essence of the coffee flavor and adds a smoothness
and creaminess to espresso that is not found in other coffee drinks. Good
crema should be thick and cling to the side of a cup when tilted.
11. FROTHING AND STEAMING MILK
Steamed and frothed milk, characterized by its light, foamy consistency, can
be used to prepare cappuccino, lattes, mochas and other milk-based drinks.
Nonfat, low-fat, whole milk and, even half and half can all be used. Some
prefer nonfat milk for its ability to foam quickly and easily. Some prefer
whole milk for its richness and the nice body it produces. Everyone agrees,
however, that the freshest and coldest milk (below 40˚F) will produce the
most foam.
Select a narrow, heatproof container or pitcher made of stainless steel,
ceramic or glass to hold your milk while steaming. The container should
allow y
ou to feel how hot the milk is during steaming. Do not fill the
container more than
1
⁄3 full with milk.
When frothing milk, first build the volume of the milk by creating the foam.
Tilt the container, then position the steam valve just below the milk’s surface
(about
1
⁄4 inch) to begin frothing. If large bubbles form or the milk splatters,

5. Steam/Froth Milk for cappuccino or latte, if desired
• Check to make sure black attachment is screwed tightly onto steam wand.
• Turn STEAM switch ON. The STEAM and the HEATING lights will
turn ON. (Note: While the unit is heating, small spurts of steam may
come out of the portafilter. This is normal.)
• When the HEATING light goes OFF (temperature will be approx. 300˚F),
turn steam lever ON (down position) to purge residual water into an
empty cup. A little water will come out initially, followed by a strong jet
of steam.
• When steam appears, turn steam lever OFF (upright position).

• Remove portafilter by turning clockwise about 45˚ to unlock; knock out
used coffee grinds or remove pod. Note: The used pod may stick to the
top of the brew head when the portafilter is removed. To remove, tilt
portafilter down until pod falls out onto the filter.
• Disassemble portafilter and Thermocream parts; rinse with warm water
to remove remaining coffee grounds. Make sure that the holes are free of
coffee oils and are not blocked. If necessary, clean with mild soap and
scrub lightly with non-abrassive sponge or small brush; rinse parts and
dry before re-using.
• Hold filter up to the light – make sure the tiny hole (or holes on pod
portafilter) is not blocked. Clean with a pin, if necessary.

TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLEM CAUSE SOLU T ION
Make sure the tank is properly inserted and
that the water level is not below the MIN
level. Before brewing coffee again, run a
hot water rinse through the machine.
Use a pin to unclog the wand.
Make sure there is adequate water in the
water tank.
Pour out and refill the portafilter with the
correct amount of ground coffee. Check to
make sure there are no residual grounds along
the edge of the filter. If problem persists, go
to an Authorized Assistance Center.
Check the portafilter containing the ground
coffee. If the holes are clogged, clean them
with a brush, or use a utensil to hold the
filter over a gas burner for a few seconds.
The grounds will burn, unclogging the holes.
Operate the espresso maker without the
portafilter to make the water flow. If the
water still does not flow out uniformly
from all the holes, the disc in the brew
head must be clogged. You will need to go
to an Authorized Assistance Center to have
it cleaned.
Be sure the water tank is inserted and
filled correctly.
A more finely ground blend of coffee must
be used to obtain a more concentrated and
hotter coffee. The problem may be eliminated
by using the Thermocream
®
disc, which
always ensures an extremely hot coffee and
rich crema, even with coarsely ground coffee.
Air has possibly entered the circuit
and deactivated the pump.
Wand could be clogged or no
water in tank.
An excess amount of ground
coffee may have been placed in
the portafilter, preventing it from
being properly secured to the
brew head.
It is possible that fat or lime
residues that have accumulated
over a few months of use, are
obstructing the disc in the brew
head. There could also be
an insufficient amount of water
and the pump does not suction.
The blend has been ground too
coarsely.
The espresso maker
does not supply
boiling water for
making tea.
The espresso maker
does not supply
steam.
Coffee is overflowing
from the edges of the
portafilter.
Output of the first
coffee does not occur
or occurs too slowly.
The coffee is too
watery and cold.
