CLANCY ROSE: Alrighty, and now we are going to talk about the machine and everything you
need for the machine to be ready to prepare espresso. One of the first things is well
turn your machine on and let it warm up and let it get up to the temperature, operating
temperature. One of the next things that is really important, easy step to miss is filling
up the water tank which on this machine is under this--under this plate right here in
the back of the machine. A lot of machines that do not have an automatic shut off where
it shuts off if the water tank is empty, if it does not have that feature, which this
one does, then it can mess up the espresso machine a whole lot if you are trying to brew
coffee and that is empty. You have your espresso machine all warmed up. You can make sure everything
is flowing right out of the steam wand by just kind of purging that into a towel. You
are going to want to be careful and wrap the towel around it like I just did so you do
not burn yourself, maybe flow a little water through the porter filter in the group head.
That is also going to warm up the porter filter. And you are ready to go. Cool.
