ESPRESSO MACHINE

To really enjoy Pupuan coffee we provide a fully automatic espresso machine in your tent.

If you would like to make cappuccino or latte please ask us for pasteurized milk, if it’s not in your minibar. We usually have some, but not always.

If you know how to use an espresso machine, here the short HOW-TO-BREW version:

Make sure you have enough water in the Espresso machine water tank!
Put the Portafilter in place: place the handle in line with the unlock sign and turn towards the lock sign.
Press the (left) On / Off button and wait until you see the following display:

Select a single or double cup (2nd and 3rd button); the machine will automatically dose the amount of coffee brew.
Note: the 4th button is for manual dosing: when you use this button you have to push a 2nd time to stop the brewing.

To steam milk: press the Steam button (5th button). Wait until you see the following screen:

You are ready to steam milk.
Use a half wet towel to cover the steam nozzle and clear any remaining water before steaming milk. Repeat this once you are done, to clean the nozzle from any milk remains.
BE CAREFUL, you know that the steam nozzle gets VERY hot!
Switch off the Steam button and then the power button.

Notes:

If you want more than 1 cup of coffee and plan to steam milk for a cappuccino or latte then brew all coffee first, as after you steam milk the machine needs time to cool down before it’s ready to brew coffee again.
When you switch off the Steam button you will see “E-2” blink on the display, which means the machine is too hot to brew coffee. You jus have to wait until he display changes again to 92 degrees.

If you have never used an espresso machine before we are happy to show you how to use it, or click below manual for a step-by-step HOW-TO-BREW:

Espresso Machine Manual

Make sure you have enough water in the Espresso machine water tank!
Fill the Portafilter with 1 scoop of freshly ground coffee. We recommend about 16-16.5 gram (you have a weight scale in the minibar cabinet). Do not completely fill the filter basket, leave at least 3-4 mm empty.
Place the Portafilter in the left hole in the wooden coffee tamper stand.
Push the black Distributor level into the Portafilter and turn around about 90 degrees, applying light pressure. This is to level the coffee grind. If the coffee is not yet level, repeat.
Push the metal Tamper level into the Portafilter, turn around about 180 degrees while applying decent pressure. This is to compact the coffee grind and remove air.
Place the Portafilter in the Espresso Machine: fit it in place with the handle of the Portafilter at the unlock sign, then turn to the middle at the lock sign:

Press the (left) On / Off button and wait until you see the following display:

Place your coffee cup under the Portafilter.
Select a single or double cup (2nd and 3rd button); the machine will automatically dose the amount of coffee.
Note: the 4th button is for manual dosing: when you use this button you have to push a 2nd time to stop the brewing.
If you want espresso, you are ready. Enjoy!
If you want cappuccino or latte, continue!
Poor milk in the milk Jug; we recommend about 100-125 ml. There is a scale inside the Jug.
To steam milk: press the (right) Steam button. Wait until you see the following screen:

You are ready to steam milk.
Use a damp / half wet Towel and wrap around the steam Nozzle. Make sure you fold the towel a few times!
BE CAREFUL NOW: turn the Steam Knob, on the right side of the machine, fast and counter-clockwise halfway, and immediately back: this is to clean the Nozzle from hot water. Be very careful, as the water and steam are VERY hot. Do NOT hold your hand direct under the opening of the Nozzle!

You are now ready to steam milk. Hold the milk Jug at an angle under the steam Nozzle; make sure the Nozzle is submerged in the milk, just a little below the surface. Not too deep!

Turn the steam Knob fast and now fully counter-clockwise: steam comes out and heats up the milk.
Let the steam flow for about 25 seconds and regularly check the temperature of the bottom of the Jug with your hand. When the Jug starts to get hot submerge the Nozzle as far as possible into the Jug, almost touching the bottom, for another 15-20 seconds. When the Jug is almost too hot to hold, close the steam Knob. Your steamed milk is ready.
Use again the damp Towel and clean the Nozzle. Make sure to fold the towel a few times, as the Nozzle is VERY hot. Then turn the Steam Knob again 2 times fast and counter-clockwise halfway, and immediately back: this is to clean the Nozzle from any remaining milk.
Pour the hot milk in your espresso.
A traditional cappuccino has an even distribution of espresso, steamed milk, and foamed milk. A latte has more steamed milk and a light layer of foam.
A cappuccino is distinctly layered, while in a latte the espresso and steamed milk are mixed together.
Your cappuccino or latte is ready, enjoy!
Note: If you want more than 1 cup of coffee and plan to steam milk for a cappuccino or latte then brew all coffee first, as after you steam milk the machine needs time to cool down before it’s ready to brew coffee again.
Note: When you switch off the Steam button you will see “E-2” blink on the display, which means the machine is too hot to brew coffee. You jus have to wait until he display changes again to 92 degrees.

KNOCK BOX

Of course you can clean the Portafilter just under the tap, or use the dedicated Knock Box.

Knock the Portafilter a few times firm on the round bar of the knock box, until (most of) the coffee falls out.
Clean out the remaining coffee with a tissue.

FRENCH PRESS COFFEE MAKER

Take out the Plunge from the French Press.
Put 1 scoop per cup of coffee of course ground coffee in the French Press.
Poor enough hot water, between 93-96 degrees, to completely soak the coffee ground, and wait 45 seconds.
Poor more hot water, for either 1 or 2 cups of coffee. Wait 4 minutes.
Put in the Plunge, and slowly press all the way down.
Your coffee is ready!

The water kettle comes with a temperature gauge, for a perfect cup of coffee or tea.

Coffee: for coffee brewing the ideal temperature of the water is between 92-96 degrees Celsius.

Tea: for the tea sachets the best temperature is between 90-98 degrees Celsius. For the rosella tea you should use boiling water.
