SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR YOUR SUNBEAM ESPRESSO

MACHINE

•Always place the unit on a flat, level surface.

•Do not operate without water in reservoir. Fill reservoir with only clean, cold water.

The maximum filling volume is 3 litres.

•Do not remove the filter handle during the espresso pour or water flow as the unit

is under pressure. Removing the filter handle during either of these operations

can lead to scalding or injury.

•The steam wand and hot water tap become 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 or hot water tap.

•Always disconnect the plug from the power outlet prior to cleaning the espresso

machine or if there is any problem during the coffee making process.

•Do not allow the power cord to come into contact with the hot parts of the

espresso machine, including the cup warming plate, hot water tap and steam

wand.

•Do not place hands directly under the steam, hot water or coffee pour as

this can lead to scalding or injury.

found in restaurants, cafes and bars, the Sunbeam Café Series™ is built to last. It

brings together a range of appliances designed to expertly create authentic café food

and beverages at home.

The Sunbeam Café Series™ Twin Thermoblock Espresso Machine features a twin

pump, twin thermoblock, TPTT™ system to ensure a stable water temperature while

also allowing simultaneous production of espresso and steam to texture milk.

The dedicated twin thermoblock heating system takes away the waiting time for

water temperatures to adjust between pouring espresso and producing steam. The

twin pumps provide the necessary pressure and as a result the coffee maker has

access to instant steam for texturing milk and at the same time produce a serve of

espresso just like a true commercial machine.

Another feature of the espresso machine is the pre-infusion. The pre-infusion

gradually releases water pressure pre-soaking the coffee grinds before full water

pressure is applied. This in turn delivers a greater body and sweetness to the

espresso.

cast metal components and includes many features that make producing delicious

Functions of your Café Series™ Twin Thermoblock

Espresso Machine

Twin Pump and Twin Thermoblock - TPTT™

System

Italian designed and manufactured, the machine is

fitted with a 15 BAR pump for the espresso function,

delivering the pressure required for a complete

extraction of oils, coffee solids and aroma. An

additional 4 BAR pump is dedicated to the steam

function, producing instant steam pressure for

texturing milk.

Independent thermoblock heating systems lined

with stainless steel heat the water ensuring the precise temperature is achieved for

each function eliminating waiting time and reducing temperature fluctuations.

TPTT™ System – Simultaneous Use

True to commercial use, the unique TPTT™ System

features twin pumps and twin thermoblocks, this

allows the coffee maker to texture milk and pour an

espresso simultaneously.

Espresso Gauge

The gauge indicates the quality of the espresso pour.

Whilst the needle is within the target area

on the gauge the coffee maker knows that

they have made an excellent serve of

espresso. Should the needle fall below the

target area then it’s an indication to the

coffee maker that the serve of espresso is

under extracted. Should the needle go beyond the target area than it’s an indication

to the coffee maker that the serve of espresso is over extracted.

To achieve an excellent pour of liquid espresso a combination of a fine espresso

grind and the correct amount of coffee packed firmly and evenly in the filter will help

attain this result.

Tip: Achieving a good pour of liquid espresso is more likely when using freshly

ground coffee.

Commercial Size Group Head & Filter Handle

The group head, filter handle and filters are

designed to commercial specifications using brass

and stainless steel components. These elements

help contribute to the preparation of an espresso

serve, as it allows the coffee maker to pack the

necessary amount of coffee grinds, which then

expand firmly and evenly onto the shower screen.

Control Panel

An easy to use control panel provides the choice of

manual operation or utilising the programmed

espresso pour lengths. The programmed espresso

pour is set to 35mls per cup while the program

function allows users to personalise and save their

own espresso settings.

Pre-Infusion

Pre-infusion is programmed into the ‘MANUAL’, single espresso and double

espresso operations. It is a gradual release of water pressure pre-soaking the coffee

cake before full water pressure is applied. This in turn delivers greater body and

sweetness to the espresso.

Anti Calc Filter

An Anti Calc water filter reduces impurities that taint the flavour and odour of the

water, improving the taste and aroma of the espresso brewed. Additionally, scale

build up is slowed reducing the frequency of cleaning required.

The Anti Calc water filter fitted inside the 3 litre water reservoir has a 12 month life for

domestic use and a 3 month life for commercial use.
