PREPARE ESPRESSO
Slayer Steam X utilizes a classic “9-bar” extraction method to
produce espresso in a system with custom gicleurs and precision
screens. Brew actuators allow for three (3) positions: “off”, “dose 1”,
and “dose 2”. A manual mode is also available.
The following steps represent a good starting point when first using
Slayer Steam X to prepare espresso.
INCLUDED PARTS
• Portafilter
RECOMMENDED SUPPLIES & EQUIPMENT
• Soft, clean towel
• Espresso grinder
• Large portafilter scale
See complete list on page #9.
PROCEDURE
1. Remove the portafilter from the grouphead and wipe the basket
with a dry towel.
2. Set the grinder to a degree of coarseness suitable for brewing
espresso, a fine powder without clumps.
3. Grind and dose 18-21 grams of coffee into the portafilter.
4. Tamp until the top of the tamper base is level with the rim of the
portafilter basket, leaving approximately 1 centimeter of empty
space above the puck.
5. Set aside the portafilter while you flush the grouphead, then
wipe the grouphead until dry and lock the portafilter into the
grouphead.
6. Position a shot glass directly under the portafilter.
The hole pattern on the drain tray indicates a location that is
centered under the portafilter.
7. Move the brew actuator to one of the “on” positions, “Dose 1” or
“Dose 2”.
8. Allow the espresso to brew until the preferred extraction has
been achieved
(when blonding occurs, when the desired beverage yield has
dispensed, or when the desired brew time has elapsed), then
move the actuator to the “off” position.
9. Remove the portafilter from the grouphead and discard the puck,
then wipe the portafilter with a towel to remove grounds and oil.
10. Flush the grouphead to purge grounds and oil, then return the
portafilter to the grouphead.
Protip: Enable the automatic grouphead flush to clean the brew
group after each extraction To enable this feature see page #30.
