CONGRATULATIONS
Freshly ground coffee is one of the four most important factors in the preparation of coffee.
This attribute is often referred to as one of the four hands in espresso preparation. The others are the grinder, the espresso machine and the barista.
While the degree and the selection of roast is a personal preference, correctly roasted and rested coffee beans produce espresso with much more
taste, flavour and body than coffee that is pre-ground.
Pre-ground coffee deteriorates rapidly and over time produces thin flat coffee that has a light and small amount of crema.
Jason Chan
Melbourne Barista of the Year 2005
With this in mind the Catler Espresso Machine ES 8012 was developed
with an integrated, dosing grinder. By using only the required amount
of coffee, instantly after being ground, the Espresso Machine ES 8012
ensures all grounds are fresh, for a richer, full espresso.

A MINUTE TO LEARN
The Espresso Machine is supplied with single cup and double cup dual wall filter baskets. These filter baskets are designed to intentionally slow the water
flow rate during brewing, resulting in an espresso that has been extracted at the correct pressure, and leading to a rich, golden crema. Dual wall filters
are suited to both pre-ground vacuum packed coffee and freshly ground coffee. The inclusion of these filter baskets allow the user to quickly and easily
achieve great espresso results with minimum effort.

A LIFETIME OF EXPERIMENTATION
The Espresso Machine is supplied with single
cup and double cup single wall filter baskets.
These filter baskets provide no additional slowing to the water flow rate during brewing hence
experimentation with the grind size and volume,
along with the tamp force, is required to achieve
the desired results. Single wall filters are suited
to freshly ground coffee only and once the use
of these filters has been mastered, they expose
the user to a lifetime of experimentation with
different grind settings, tamping forces and coffee styles.
A great coffee is a balance of main flavour elements: Acidity, aroma, bitterness, body, nuttiness, and sharpness. By using the Single Wall Filters you are free to explore the world of espresso
by to adjusting grind, grind amount and tamp to
extract a rich variety of flavours.
24
Ensure the water filter is securely fitted inside the tank. Refer to Care and Cleaning for
more details on page 35.
Plug the power cord into a 230 V power outlet and switch on at power point.
NOTE:
Check the water level before use and
replace the water daily. The water tank
should be refilled with fresh, cold tap
water before each use. Do not use mineral or distilled water or any other liquid.
Preheat the portafilter by placing underneath the group head. Rinse with hot water
from the group head using the manual pour
function. Dry the portafilter thoroughly before use.
25
26
NOTE:
You may need to try this a few times
slightly adjusting the GRIND AMOUNT
dial each time until you reach the correct amount.

2. Tamping Control:
The tamper device is removable for hand tamping.
a. Remove the tamper from the machine.
b. Once the grind function has been completed, remove the Portafilter from the grinding
cradle and tap to collapse the grind.
c. Use one hand to grip the tamper and the
other hand to hold the Portafilter handle.
d. Apply even pressure down on the tamper
and press firmly in order to level and pack
the coffee grounds.
e. Lift the tamper from the portafilter, and
clean any excess ground coffee from the rim
of the portafilter to ensure a correct fit into
the group head.
Refer to Coffee Making Tips, page 33.
1. Tamper on Board:
The tamper device is held in place, on the machine, allowing for convenient tamping.
a. Once the grind function has been completed, remove the Portafilter from the grinding
cradle and tap to collapse the grind.
b. With the tamper fitted into place, lift the Portafilter towards the tamper base.
c. Push the portafilter upward firmly, applying
even pressure to tamp the coffee.
27
28
Ensure all the button surrounds on the control panel are illuminated, indicating the machine has reached the correct temperature
for brewing, and is ready for use.
Ensure the drip tray and portafilter are in
place.
Place one or two pre-warmed cups beneath
the portafilter outlet.
NOTE:
PRE-BREW FUNCTION When a single or
double coffee is selected, the machine
will pump water momentarily, followed
by a pause then continues to pump the
water through to the ground coffee in
the portafilter. The ground coffee is
moistened by a small amount of water
before full extraction then expands resulting in greater pressure build-up to
extract all the oils and full flavour from
the ground coffee.
2.
3.
NOTE:
The amount of espresso extracted in the
cup will vary depending on your grind
and grind amounts.
NOTE:
Pressing the one cup or two cup
buttons during a programmed espresso
will immediately stop the pour.
4.
5.
NOTE:
When using a 1 cup filter, for optimal
flavour, you should only extract approximately 30ml. When using a 2 cup filter,
for optimal flavour, you should only extract approximately 60ml.

MANUAL ESPRESSO
NOTE:
When using the manual function refer
to the Espresso Pressure Gauge section
on pages 10 and 11 to ensure ideal extraction is obtained.
NOTE:
When the espresso machine creates
steam, a pumping noise can be heard.
This is the normal operation of the 15
Bar pump.
NOTE:
After 5 minutes of continuous steaming,
the machine will automatically disable
the steam function. The steam light will
flash. When this occurs return the steam
dial to the Standby position.
WARNING: MILK SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO RUN OVER THE TOP OF THE FROTHING ATTACHMENT, OTHERWISE IT WILL NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. TO AVOID SPLATTERING OF
HOT MILK, DO NOT LIFT THE END OF THE FROTHING ATTACHMENT ABOVE THE SURFACE
OF THE MILK WHILE FROTHING. ENSURE THE STEAM DIAL IS IN THE STANBY POSITION
BEFORE REMOVING THE FROTHING JUG.
31
There are two phases to texture milk: Stretching the milk to aerate it and swirling the milk to
make it silky smooth and the right temperature.
In practice these two operations should blend
into one.
32
NOTE:
If stretching makes a loud screeching
sound, the chances are you have lowered the wand into the milk too early.
NOTE:
Always ensure that the frothing attachment has been firmly pushed onto the
steam wand and connects with the
rubber surround. For best results use
cold fresh milk. Always clean the steam
wand and frothing attachment after
every use. Refer to Care and Cleaning,
page 39.
NOTE:
For extracting more espresso immediately after using the steam function,
this machine features an auto-purge
function. This ensures the ground coffee will not be burnt by the initial water flow from the thermocoil being too
hot. Instead this water is automatically
released internally into the drip tray
ensuring that the internal thermostat
is at optimal temperature for extracting coffee. Your coffee will always be
extracted at this optimal temperature
ensuring only the best flavoured coffee
is achieved.
NOTE:
Always wipe the filter and filter holder
dry before preparing the coffee as moisture can encourage drilling - this is
when water bypasses the ground coffee
during extraction.
TAMPING CORRECTLY
Level the desired amount of coffee by gently
tapping the side of the filter holder before pressing down firmly with the tamper. When packing for a double espresso it is important only to
tamp after the second measure.
Tamping between measures will create a layer in
the coffee that can impede full extraction.
NOTE:
The taste of your coffee will, of course,
depend on personal preference and
on many other factors such as the type
of coffee bean used, the coarseness or
fineness of the grind and the tamping
pressure. We recommend experimenting by varying these factors to achieve
the coffee taste of your preference.
NOTE:
Make sure to wipe off any excess coffee from the rim of the filter to ensure a
proper seal is achieved under the group
head.

Cleaning
The Water Filter provided with the Espresso Machine can significantly reduce substances that
affect the smell and taste of water such as free
chlorine, certain pesticides and organic impurities as well as traces of heavy metals. The Water
Filter can be removed from the water tank during operation if not required.
PORTAFILTER CLEANING
Periodically run water through the machine with
the portafilter in place, but without any ground
coffee, to rinse out any residual coffee particles.
35
CLEANING CYCLE
The Espresso Machine features an inbuilt cleaning cycle which should be carried out periodically. The CLEAN ME light will automatically illuminate to
indicate to the user when a cleaning cycle is required.
