3. 操作手順

This section guides you through the daily operation of your espresso machine.

1. 電源オン: Plug the machine into a 120V grounded outlet. Press the main power switch to turn on the machine. The PID display will illuminate, indicating the machine is heating up.
2. 加熱時間： Allow approximately 3-5 minutes for the machine to reach optimal brewing temperature. The PID display will show the current temperature.
3. エスプレッソの作り方:
   • 研削： 新鮮なコーヒー豆をエスプレッソのきめ細かさになるまで挽きます。
   • 投与量: Fill the 58mm portafilter basket with the desired amount of ground coffee.
   • Tamping: Tamp the coffee grounds evenly with firm, consistent pressure.
   • ポルタフィルターを挿入します: ポルタフィルターをグループヘッドにしっかりと挿入します。
   • 醸造： Place your cup(s) under the portafilter spouts. Select your desired shot volume using the volumetric controls (single or double shot). The machine will automatically start and stop the shot based on your programmed settings.
4. ミルク蒸し：
   • ミルクを準備する: ステンレス製のミルクピッチャーに冷たいミルクを入れます。
   • スチームを有効にする: Turn the steam knob to activate the steam wand. Purge any condensed water into the drip tray.
   • スチームミルク: Immerse the steam wand tip just below the surface of the milk. Open the steam valve fully to begin steaming. Texture the milk to your desired consistency.
   • クリーンスチームワンド: 蒸した後すぐにスチームワンドを拭いてくださいamp 布で拭き、少量の蒸気でミルクの残留物を除去します。

4. 主な機能の説明

The Ascaso Steel DUO is equipped with several advanced features for optimal performance:

• PID温度制御: The digitally displayed PID system allows precise temperature adjustment for both the brew group and steam. This ensures consistent water temperature, crucial for extracting the full flavor profile of your espresso.
• Volumetric Programmable Settings: Program your preferred single and double shot volumes for consistent espresso extraction every time. The machine also features an automatic shot timer.
• Dual Thermoblock System: Unlike traditional boilers, the dual thermoblock design provides instant and continuous steam, allowing you to brew espresso and steam milk simultaneously without waiting. This system also contributes to energy efficiency and reduces limescale buildup.
• Adjustable Over Pressure Valve (OPV): The manual OPV allows you to fine-tune the brewing pressure, ensuring optimal extraction and preventing channeling for a perfect shot.

5. メンテナンス

Regular maintenance is essential for the longevity and performance of your Ascaso Steel DUO:

• 毎日の清掃:
  • 使用後は毎回ドリップトレイを空にしてすすいでください。
