Starbucks Barista Espresso Machine

Using the Barista Machine to Brew a Shot of Espresso

Turn the Barista espresso machine on. When the “Ready” light turns on, the machine is ready.
Put ground coffee basket in the Rapporto filter.
Put 1 1/2 tablespoons of finely ground espresso into the coffee basket. Level the coffee and wipe off any excess grounds to avoid residue.
Insert Rapporto filter into the brew head, and turn the handle all the way to the right.
Place two shot glasses or one cup underneath the Rapporto filter espresso dispensers, which are located on its underside.
Press the “Brew” button. The espresso should begin flowing within five seconds. When the shot glasses are halfway full, press the “Brew” button again to turn it off.

Using the Barista Machine to Steam Milk

Fill the water tank at least halfway.
Remove Rapporto filter, if it is in place.
Position the steam wand. It should be on the side of the machine.
Turn machine on and wait for the “Ready” light.
Press the “Steam” button. The “Ready” light should turn off, and the color on the “Steam” button should turn green. Wait for the “Ready” light to come back on.
Turn the steam-wand valve knob. This will release any condensation remaining in the wand. Use caution as this may release steam. Close the valve after any steam has been released.
Fill a pitcher halfway with cold milk and insert thermometer into the milk.
Place pitcher under steam wand, until the wand is just under the milk’s surface. Hold pitcher at a slight angle to encourage steam flow. When milk has steamed to the desired amount, submerge the wand halfway into the milk.
Remove pitcher when milk reaches 150 to 170 degrees Fahrenheit. Wipe steam wand clean with damp cloth.

How to Use an Espresso Machine

Fill the espresso machine reservoir or boiler with water. Warm up the machine according to manufacturer directions.
Grind the espresso beans using a separate coffee grinder, or the grinder included with the machine, to a very fine espresso grind.
Fill the portafilter or coffee basket with the desired amount of ground coffee. Tamp or press down, then wipe off any excess grounds.
Replace the portafilter or basket in its receptacle or holder, then start the espresso machine to make a 1-2 oz. espresso shot. Stop the machine once you have enough espresso.
Add 6-8 oz. of hot water to the espresso shot for Cafe Americano-style coffee.
Steam and froth 10-12 oz. of milk in a container or pitcher using the steam wand (located on the side of many machines) by placing the steam wand into the milk and turning the wand’s knob on, until the milk reaches the desired temperature. Check the temperature with an instant thermometer, and turn the knob off.
Use the steamed milk in place of hot water for a latte. Pour the heated milk into the espresso shot in a coffee cup and add a flavored syrup to taste.
