GENERAL ADVICE

1. The filter holder must always be placed on the machine to keep it warm. In closed position.

2. Place the cups on the cup-warmer. The temperature (optimum 40ºC / 105ºF) will improve our espresso.

3. The coffee will continue to come out in small drops a few seconds after turning off the coffee breaker.

4. It is advisable to grind the amount of coffee needed at the time it is needed because the ground coffee quickly loses its aroma qualities and the fatty substances contained in the coffee become rancid.

Characteristics of the machine

The machines of the BABY T series have been designed to prepare espresso and hot drinks. The operating principle consists of a pump inside the machine (volumetric in the PLUS model and vibrating in the ZERO model) which feeds the hot water and steam boiler and the coffee group. By using the controls, the water is sent to the external distribution units in the form of either hot water or steam, whichever is required. The water to be used to prepare the drinks is taken at the moment of the water network (in the PLUS model only) or the reservoir (ZERO and PLUS models), pressurized by the pump, passing through a pre-heating circuit through the hot water / steam boiler (in the PLUS model only), and its temperature is finally raised from the temperature from preheating to working by a heat exchanger. Both the distribution unit and the hot water/steam boiler can have different working temperatures, as well as different and separate configuration parameters, in order to optimise the machine’s performance according to the user’s requirements. The machine is formed by a supporting structure in steel to which the mechanical and electrical components are fixed. This frame is covered in baked enamel iron plate and stainless steel. The productive operations are carried out on the front of the machine and the controls, the control devices and the coffee brewing groups are located. In the upper part of the machine there is a surface destined to heat the cups.
