7 One touch operation The Café Barista™ is an automatic espresso machine that takes the guess work out of making espresso coffee. It grinds the coffee beans, dispenses the ground coffee into the filter , tamps it and pumps water through to produce a consistent shot of espresso every time – all with the touch of a button.
8 F ea t ur e s o f yo ur S un b ea m Ca f é B a ri s ta ™ (c on t in u ed ) ‘Thermoblock’ heating system Ensures the precise temperature is achieved. As espresso is made with hot, rather than boiling water , the ‘thermoblock’ heats the water to 92°C (just below boiling point) for optimum extraction of oils from the coffee grinds.
9 S e c r e t s t o t h e p e r f e c t c u p With a Sunbeam pump espresso machine and a little experience, you can create café quality coffee at home.

It is possible to adjust the espresso machine individually to suit your personal taste by adjusting the grinding degree and the amount of coffee beans to be ground. Filling the coffee bean hopper Note: Please ensure to fill the coffee bean hopper only with coffee beans.
15 Placing cup(s) under the espresso pour spout and choosing the coffee pour volume • Place one or two cups under the espresso pour spout. The height of the pour spout can be adjusted to suit the size of the cup by lifting or lowering the pour spout to reduce heat loss and or prevent the espresso from splashing.
Selecting the strength of the coffee and pouring the coffee • Press the ‘coffee strength/quantity’ button as many times as needed to select the preferred strength of the espresso.
17 Note: When choosing 2 cups of coffee, the pre-set values for ‘coffee strength/ quantity’ to be ground and ‘coffee pour volume’ are increased automatically . Note: Before the actual coffee brewing process, the ground coffee is dampened by a small amount of water .
• Open the lid of the pre-ground coffee receptacle and fill with fresh pre-ground coffee. See figure 22. Important: Make sure that no powder is stuck in the receptacle and that no foreign matter gets into the receptacle. Never fill with more than 2 level measuring spoons of pre- ground coffee.
19 T ip: The Café Barista™ is factory set to standard volumes. If you want to adjust the respective length of coffee pour volumes, please refer to the instructions in section ‘Changing and saving coffee pour volumes and coffee strength settings’.
20 The steam can be used for texturing/ frothing milk or for heating liquids. As the temperature for generating steam must be higher than for making coffee, the espresso machine is equipped with an additional steam mode. Important: There is risk of scalding when the steam nozzle is in use.
21 ‘steam/hot water’ switch up to activate the steam and commence frothing the milk. See figure 29. T ip: For instructions on how to froth milk refer to the section ‘Easy steps for frothing milk’. Note: The nozzle must not touch the bottom of the jug to ensure that the steam release is not obstructed.
22 Milk texturing is the steaming of milk to heat it and to create froth. Similar to making an espresso, perfecting the art of milk texturing takes time and practice. • Use fresh, cold milk and fill a stainless steel frothing jug to no more than ¹/ ³ full.
23 The hot water function can be used for making tea, hot chocolate or other hot water drinks such as instant soups. Important: There is risk of scalding when the steam nozzle is in use. Hot water or hot steam can cause scalding. Only use the steam nozzle when holding a container underneath.
24 The Café Barista™ is set to standard coffee pour volumes. These volumes can be individually adjusted to your taste and stored. Changing and saving coffee pour volumes • Press the ‘length of coffee pour’ button until the respective cup symbol illuminates corresponding to the desired coffee pour volume.
25 Changing and saving the set relationship between each ‘coffee strength’ setting and the ‘length of coffee pour’ volumes Y ou may save a different ‘coffee strength’ setting for each ‘length of coffee pour’ setting. • Press the ‘length of coffee pour’ button as many times as needed to reach the required cup symbol.
26 Important: Only adjust the fineness of the grind during the grinding process. Adjustments of the grind while not in use may cause damage to the espresso machine. Setting the fineness of the grind • W ith a cup placed under the espresso pour spout, press the one cup coffee button.
27 • Replace the grinding ring. • Slide the ‘grinding mechanism release’ button to the front in the direction of the grinding mechanism. Hold this position and turn the ‘coffee grind’ lever anti- clockwise to the desired grind setting.
Note: When the espresso machine is turned on it will go through an Auto Clean cycle. This removes any old coffee grinds from the coffee brewing unit. The coffee making process involves extracting oils out of coffee grinds to make espresso coffee.
29 After making approximately 16 coffees, the coffee waste container indicator will illuminate to show that the container must be emptied and cleaned. Note: If the espresso machine is used daily , the coffee waste container should also be cleaned daily .
30 C le a ni n g t h e c of f ee b re w in g un i t ( c on t in u ed ) • Dry the coffee brewing unit and turn the service lever upwards again as far as it will go. The ejection lever folds back again and the brewing unit closes. See figure 53. • Re-insert the coffee brewing unit as follows: 1.

33 Important: The coffee waste container indicator will remain illuminated while the cleaning process is running. The programme carries out 6 cycles with fresh water flushing. Pause times are for the cleaning tablet to take effect. In case of a power failure the programme has to be started again.
• Press and hold for 3 seconds the ‘DESCALE’ button, the ‘DESCALE’ indicator changes from a flashing light to a constant light. The descaling programme is now ready and the process should not be interrupted. See figure 61. Note: Before the automatic process starts you must descale the steam/hot water nozzle.
35 Preparing the appliance for phase 2 Phase 1 of the descaling process is finished after approximately 36 minutes and is shown by the water and coffee waste container indicators flashing. The ‘DESCALE’ indicator also flashes. See figure 64. • Rinse the water reservoir and fill it with 1 litre of fresh water .
