Portable espresso brewing guide
A little preparation. A better pause.
Start with good coffee and a simple routine. Get to know your setup, one shot at a time.
This is a coffee-preparation overview, not a replacement for the instructions supplied with your machine. Follow those instructions for filling, controls, charging and cleaning.
02
Prepare the basket.
Measure and prepare the coffee according to your machine instructions. Aim for an evenly filled basket; keep a note of your grind setting.
03
Add water and heat.
Follow the supplied instructions for filling and safely assembling the machine. Let the heating cycle finish before extraction.
04
Brew, taste, repeat.
Enjoy your espresso. If you want a longer drink, add hot water separately, or finish with separately prepared milk.
Find your flavour
One change at a time.
Start with coffee you enjoy. Keep a note of your grind setting and how the shot tastes. Change one variable at a time instead of adjusting everything together.
A shot running too quickly?
Check the basket preparation and try a slightly finer grind on the next shot.
A shot struggling to flow?
Check the instructions for the correct fill level and preparation. Try a slightly coarser grind; never open the machine while it is hot or pressurised.

A steady stand. A fresh shot.
The Bundle's stand supports the machine while you brew into a small cup. Remove the machine's fitted travel cup before placing it on the stand, and follow the instructions supplied with your kit.

How should I clean the machine?
Switch it off, let it cool and follow the cleaning instructions supplied with your product. Do not immerse the powered body in water. Let cleaned parts dry before packing them away.
Can I use milk in the water chamber?
Use the machine for espresso with water and ground coffee. Prepare milk separately and add it to the finished shot.
Where can I find the correct dose and controls?
Use the instructions included with your specific machine. If these are missing or unclear, contact us before using it.
Does brewing time include heating the water?
No. Heating and extraction are separate stages. Starting with cold water takes longer than starting with warm water; let the heating cycle complete before extraction. Plan time for grinding, basket preparation and cleanup as well, rather than treating extraction time as the total time to your drink.
What should I pack for coffee outdoors?
Charge your machine before leaving and bring drinking water, espresso-ground coffee or beans with your grinder, and a suitable cup. Choose a stable, level surface for brewing. Allow the machine to cool, follow its cleaning instructions and dry the parts before closing the case. Coffee and serving glasses in styled photos are not included with the kit.
Do I need the Pro or the Pro Bundle?
Choose the Espressyo Pro if you already have a grinder or want to bring prepared ground coffee. Choose the Pro Bundle for the machine, separate electric grinder, travel stand, case and preparation accessories together. Neither option steams milk; add separately prepared milk to your espresso.
