About espresso coffee

The Sunbeam Café Crema™ utilises

technology and engineering from commercial

espresso machines to ensure cafe-quality

coffee in an easy to use design. With the

Caffe Latte a growing favourite amongst

coffee lovers the inclusion of the extra cup

height clearance to the design allows the

espresso to pour straight into a latte glass or

your favourite mug. Constructed entirely of

metal components, the robust design of the

Sunbeam Cafe Crema™ is certain to create

many coffees at home. Enjoy the sweet aroma

and taste of the perfect shot of espresso with

its signature golden crema everytime.

What makes a good coffee?

Sunbeam have consulted with experienced

coffee makers and appreciators of coffee

through every stage of design, to ensure the

machine delivers a great shot of espresso

every time. There are many factors that

contribute to the perfect espresso. The words’

‘taste’ and ‘aroma’ are consistently used

when describing the perfect cup.

The sweet aroma and taste of the perfect

coffee is largely due to the correct

combination of temperature and pressure

during the brewing process. The Thermoblock

heating system ensures the water is at the

correct temperature, so that the full coffee

flavour is extracted.

Secondly, the combination of the 15 BAR

pump, dual-wall filter and stabilising baffle

ensures the correct pressure at which the

liquid espresso is released from the spout.

The flow should consist of both liquid and

cream. This cream is commonly known as the

Crema. The perfect Crema should be thick and

stable and preserve the coffee flavour, aroma

and temperature.

We hope you have many enjoyable coffee

experiences with the Sunbeam Café Crema™.

Should you need any further assistance,

please don’t hesitate to contact the Sunbeam

coffee hotline on free call 1800 025 059.

With a Sunbeam pump espresso machine

and a little experience, you can create

café-quality coffee at home. Here are a few

helpful suggestions:

• The origin of the bean and roasting will

affect the taste of the espresso, so test

different brands and blends of coffee to

find the one you like best.

• The grind of the coffee is critical. Vary the

degree of grinding to find the right fineness

for the coffee beans being used.

• A regular shot of espresso, the base of all

cafe coffees is approximately 30mls. The

shot of espresso is a concentrate, vary the

quantity of milk and additional hot water to

determine the strength and volume of the

coffee. If you are using a large cup or mug

you may require a double shot of espresso,

rather than just a single shot depending on

your taste.

• Ensure your coffee grinds are ‘tamped’

evenly. ‘Tamping’ refers to the amount

of pressure with which coffee grinds are

packed into the filter.

• If your espresso pours too slowly, tamp the

coffee grind more lightly, or try a coarser

grind.

• If your espresso is thin and watery, tamp

the coffee grinds harder, or try a finer

grind.

• Always use cold milk and a clean stainless

steel jug when texturing milk.

• Always use the freshest beans or ground

coffee available and store in an airtight

container in a cool, dry, dark place.

• Whole coffee beans stay fresh longer than

pre-ground coffee.

• When grinding your own coffee, never grind

more than you will use for immediate use.

Once ground, the coffee will begin to loose

it’s goodness.

• Pre-warm cups prior to making an

espresso, either by filling with hot water or

placing on the warming plate.

• Once prepared, serve coffee immediately.

• Keep your espresso machine clean and

thoroughly rinsed. Run water through

the brewing head and flush the steaming

nozzle in fresh water after each use.

Secrets to the perfect cup

12

Milk texturing is the steaming of milk to heat

it and to create froth. Similar to making an

espresso, perfecting the art of milk texturing

takes time and practice.

• Use fresh, cold milk and fill a stainless

steel frothing jug to no more than ¹/³ full.

• The amount of milk you steam should be

adequate for the coffees you are preparing.

Keep in mind that the volume of milk will

increase or ‘stretch’ during the texturing

process.

• Once you have activated the steam and

inserted the steam nozzle into the jug,

position the steam arm 1½ cm from the

side of the jug with the tip of the nozzle

just below the surface of the milk. The

jug needs to be at a slight angle with the

steam arm resting on the spout of the jug.

This will create a whirlwind motion in the

milk.

Note: You should hear a hissing sound. If you

are creating large bubbles, raise the jug so

that the nozzle tip is lowered deeper into the

milk.

• As the steam heats the milk, the milk will

begin to rise. Follow the level of the milk

by lowering the jug, always keeping the tip

of the steam nozzle just below the surface.

• Once the milk has stretched to double its

original volume, lower the steam nozzle

further into the milk and continue to heat

the milk. This will give the milk a fine

texture and not a mass of large aerated

bubbles.

• Cease steaming when the frothing jug

becomes too hot to hold your hand against

it.

• With the frothing jug in hand, swirl and tap

the jug until the milk becomes shiny and

no bubbles remain, this ensures an even

consistency. Pour the textured milk into

your espresso as soon as possible.

Frothing with the frothing attachment

If you are just learning to texture/froth milk

you may find it initially easier using the

frothing attachment packed with the Café

Crema™. Once you have had some practice in

texturing/frothing milk, we recommend not to

use the frothing attachment as you will have

greater control of the texture and temperature

of the milk.

• Attach the frothing attachment to the

steam arm (19).

• Once you have activated the steam,

insert the steam arm with the frothing

attachment into the jug. Position the

steam arm 1½ cm from the side of the jug

with the frothing attachment completely

immersed in the milk, so the tip of the

frothing attachment is held just above the

base of the jug.

• Hold the frothing attachment in this

position until the milk has stretched to

double its original volume. Cease steaming

when the frothing jug becomes too hot to

hold your hand against it.

Important cleaning instructions for the steam

wand/arm

The steam arm/wand and froth enhancing

attachment needs to be cleaned each time

you froth milk. To clean the steam arm/wand,

wipe with a damp cloth and rinse the froth

enhancing attachment under warm water.

Should your steam arm/wand become

blocked, supplied with your espresso machine

is a cleaning wire. The cleaning wire for the

steam arm is the BLACK pin, located under

the base of the water reservoir (23) (24).

With the cleaning wire insert it into the hole

in the base of the steam arm/wand (25).

If the steam arm/wand remains blocked,

using the measuring spoon/tamp unscrew the

steam nozzle from the steam arm (26).

Clean the steam nozzle by once again using

the cleaning wire and then flush under

running water.

Easy steps for texturing milk

13

Before using your Sunbeam Café Crema™

for the first time or if you have not used it

for some time, rinse the machine by running

water through without coffee in the filter

holder, as follows:

Note: Throughout these instructions the

numbers you see highlighted and in brackets

refer back to the diagrams at the start of this

instruction manual.

• Open the lid of the water reservoir (1) and

fill with cold water (2). Alternatively you

can open the lid and remove the water

reservoir using the handle (3). Then fill

with cold water (4).

• Replace the water reservoir firmly into the

unit (5) and close lid.

• Insert the power cord into a 230-240V AC

power outlet and turn the power on. Start

the unit (6). The red ‘Power’ light and

‘Warm Up’ light will both illuminate.

• Place one of the filters in the filter handle

(7). Then position the filter handle on the

machines brewing head.

• To ensure that the filter handle is in

the correct position, turn the handle so

it points to the left and place the filter

handle flat against the brewing head (8),

then turn the handle towards the right (9),

as far as it can go.

Note: Do not over tighten.

• Place a sufficiently large container under

the brewing head (10).

• As soon as the orange ‘Warm Up’ light

goes off, turn the operating dial to the

setting (11) and allow all the water in the

water reservoir to run through.

• If necessary, you may need to stop the

operation by turning the operating dial to

the ’Off’ position, empty the container,

then resume the operation.

Note: Make sure that the water reservoir

is clean and free of any debri, as any fine

particules can block the water flow.

in place (7) (8) (9), and place cups

underneath the filter handle.

• When the machine is ready, the orange

‘Warm Up’ light goes off, turn the

operating dial to setting (11).

• When the cups are full of hot water, return

the operating dial to the ’off’ position.

Note: Once the appliance has been on for

a while, the coffee cups can be warmed

by placing them upside down on the cup

warming plate (12).

Preparing an espresso:

• Insert the power cord into a 230-240V AC

power outlet and turn the power on.

• Fill the water reservoir (1) (2), (3) (4) (5)

with cold water.

• Start the unit (6). The red ‘Power’ light

and orange ‘Warm Up’ light will both

illuminate.

• Pre-heat your coffee cups by placing them

upside down on the cup warming plate (12).

• Select the required filter (7) for 1 or 2

cups of coffee and place in the filter

handle.

• Using the measuring spoon supplied, place

one or two measures of ground coffee into

the filter (13). With the other end of the

measuring spoon, use the tamper to push

(pack) down the coffee grinds (14).

Important: Be sure not to over-fill the filter

with too much coffee, and wipe around the

edge of the filter to remove any coffee grinds

(15).

• Place the filter handle on the machines

brewing head. Position the handle so it

points to the left, place the filter handle

flat against the brewing head, then turn

the handle towards the right (16) as far as

it can go.

Note: Do not over tighten.

• Place 1 or 2 pre-heated cups below the

pouring spouts.

• When the Sunbeam Café Crema™ is at the

correct temperature the orange ‘Warm Up’

light will go out, then turn the operating

dial to the setting (17). You will hear

the machine making a pumping noise, this

is normal.

• Once the cup/s are filled to the desired

level, turn the operating dial to the ‘off’

position.

• Remove the filter handle and the filter by

turning the filter handle to the left.

• To remove the used coffee grinds from the

• After each use of the espresso machine

for best results when making consecutive

cups of espresso we recommend that you

flush a small amount of water through

the machine with the filter handle already

removed from the brewing head. Simply

turn the operating dial to the setting

and allow the water to run through until

you have a consistent flow of water. This

will wash out any old or used coffee grinds

stuck to the underside of the brewing head

and also help ensure the correct water

temperature for your next shot of espresso.

• Once the orange ‘Warm Up’ light goes out

your machine is ready to make the next

espresso.

Note: Do not leave the filter handle locked

in position for extended periods, or when

machine is not in use. This shortens the

life of the brew head rubber seal.

2. STEAM FUNCTION

The steam function can be used for texturing/

frothing milk or heating liquids.

Important: There is a risk of scalding when

the steam nozzle is in use. Hot water or

hot steam can cause scalding. Only use the

steam wand/arm when it is immersed in the

milk.

• Fill the water reservoir (1) (2) (3) (4) (5)

with cold water.

• Start the unit (6). The red ‘Power’ light

and orange ‘Warm Up’ light will both

illuminate.

• Swing the steam nozzle to the side of the

machine.

• Pour cold milk into a stainless steel jug to

no more than

1/3

full.

Tip: For best results we recommend using

refrigerated milk and a stainless steel jug

that is well chilled. Be sure not to rinse the

jug with warm water before use.

• When the Sunbeam Café Crema™ is the

right temperature the orange ‘Warm Up’

light will go out.

• Hold the jug under the steam wand/arm

so that the nozzle opening is completely

immersed in the milk. Turn the operating

dial to the setting to activate the steam

and commence texturing the milk (20).

Tip: For instructions on how to froth/

texture milk refer to section 'Easy steps for

texturing milk'.

• Lower the jug so that the tip of the steam

nozzle is just below the surface of the milk

and place your hand on the side of the jug.

Note: The nozzle must not touch the

bottom of the jug to ensure that the steam

release is not obstructed.

• Move the jug so that the steam wand/arm

is to one side, this will create a whirlwind

motion to the milk. As the steam heats the

milk, the milk will begin to rise. Follow

the level of the milk by lowering the jug,

always keeping the tip of the steam nozzle

just below the surface.

• Cease steaming when the jug becomes too

hot to continue holding the palm of your

hand against the side. Simply turn the

operating dial to the ’off’ position and

remove the jug.

Note: Do not boil the milk.

Functions of your Café Crema™ (continued)

16

Cleaning the steam wand/arm and froth

attachment

You must clean the steam wand/arm and

froth attachment immediately after each use.

Simply wipe the stainless steel steam wand/

arm clean with a damp cloth and place the

froth attachment under warm running water

to remove any excess milk. Also, briefly turn

the operating dial to setting to clear any

remaining milk out of the steam wand/arm.

Caution: Steam from the wand/arm is

extremely hot and there is danger of scalding.

Note: Should your steam wand/arm become

blocked, supplied with your espresso

machine is a cleaning wire. The cleaning wire

for the steam arm is the BLACK pin, located

under the base of the water reservoir (23)

(24). With the cleaning wire insert it into the

hole in the base of the steam wand/arm (25).

Should the steam wand/arm remain blocked,

using the measuring spoon/tamp unscrew the

steam nozzle from the steam arm (26) clean

the steam nozzle by once again using the

cleaning wire and flush under running water.

Hot water drinks

You are able to heat water for hot drinks

such as tea or instant soups using the steam

nozzle.

Note: Heating liquids is done with the

steam nozzle only, so ensure that the froth

attachment is not in place.

• Fill the water reservoir (1) (2) (3) (4) (5)

with cold water.

• Start the unit (6). The red ‘Power’ light

and orange ‘Warm Up’ light will both

illuminate.

• Remove the froth attachment from the

steam nozzle (21) and swing the steam

nozzle to the side of the machine.

• When the Sunbeam Café Crema™ is the

right temperature the orange ‘Warm Up’

light will go out.

• Immerse the steam nozzle in the cup or

container holding the liquid to be heated

and turn the operating dial to the

setting (22).

• When the liquid is hot enough, turn the

operating dial to ’off’ position and

remove the container or cup.

Note: It is normal for the orange ‘Warm Up’

light to turn on and off during

heating of water.

Functions of your Café Crema™ (continued)

17

The coffee making process involves extracting

oils out of coffee grinds to make espresso

coffee. Deposits of these oils build up over time

and affect the taste of the coffee and operation

of the espresso machine.

Regular cleaning to remove these oils is

essential for espresso machines to keep

operating effectively. Flushing water, through

the brewing head and the steam wand/arm, is

the easiest way to keep your machine clean

after making each coffee, and at the end of

your coffee making session.

Important: Never wash your espresso machine

accessories in the dishwasher.

Drip tray

Remove the grid and drip tray at regular

intervals to empty (29), (30). If the red floating

level indicator appears through the grid, empty

the drip tray immediately.

Clean the drip tray and its grid with water and a

little non-abrasive washing up liquid, rinse and

dry.

Over time it is normal for the inside of the drip

tray to be stained by the oils in the coffee.

Note: Ensure that when you are replacing the

d

rip tray that the plastic lining is in position (31).

The brewing head, filters & filter handle

The filter and filter handle should be washed

after each use by rinsing them under warm

water. Wash at regular intervals in warm soapy

water using a mild detergent.

To clean the brewing head, flush water through

and wipe the head and around the inside rim

with a damp cloth.

To assist in keeping the filter and the brew

head clean, at the end of each coffee making

session we recommend you run the machine,

with the filter in place, without coffee – using

water only.

Should the holes in the filters become clogged

with coffee granules use a fine bristled brush to

remove them.

Important: Should the filter remain blocked

after normal cleaning, supplied with your

espresso machine is a cleaning wire. The

cleaning wire for the filter is the GREY pin

located under the base of the water reservoir

(23), (27) with the cleaning wire insert it into

the single hole in the base of the filter (28).

Care and Cleaning

18

Care and Cleaning (continued)

Brew head rubber seal

This seal is located in the brewing head and

creates a seal against the filter handle when

making an espresso.

Note: When your Sunbeam Café Crema™ is

not being used, we recommend that you do not

leave the filter handle attached to the machine

as this will reduce the life of the seal.

Over time this seal looses its elasticity and

will require replacement – usually every 6-12

months. Signs that the seal is deteriorating are

when: the filter handle rotates to the far right

and feels loose, or steam escapes from around

the brewing head during use.

The cup warming plate and exterior

Wipe over the unit with a damp cloth and wipe

dry. Do not use abrasives or metal scourers, as

these will scratch the exterior surface.

Steam wand/arm and froth attachment

The steam wand/arm and froth attachment

needs to be cleaned each time you texture

milk or heat any other liquid. To clean the

steam wand/arm, wipe with a damp cloth and

for the froth attachment, simply rinse it under

warm water.

Note: After each use we recommend that a

small amount of steam is purged from the

steam wand/arm.

On a monthly basis we recommend thoroughly

cleaning the steam wand/arm.

To do this soak the wand/arm in water with the

stainless jug resting on the drip tray. Ensure

that the water level in the jug is over the wand/

arm. Run steam through the wand/arm for 30

seconds, then leave to soak overnight.

In the morning turn the machine on and run

steam through the wand/arm again for 30

seconds.

Important: Do not wash parts in the dishwasher.

Do not immerse the unit in water.

Important: Should your steam wand/arm

become blocked, supplied with your espresso

machine is a cleaning wire.

The cleaning wire for the steam arm is the

BLACK pin located under the base of the water

reservoir (23) (24).

With the cleaning wire insert it into the hole in

the base of the steam wand/arm (25).

Should the steam wand/arm remain blocked,

using the measuring spoon/tamp unscrew the

steam nozzle from the steam arm (26). Clean

the steam nozzle by once again using cleaning

wire and then flush under running water.

19

After continued use, your espresso machine

may develop a build-up of mineral deposits.

Thus your machine will require occasional

‘descaling’.

We recommend that you descale your machine

every 2-3 months, although this period will

depend on the hardness of water and frequency

of use of the machine.

Descaling solution

Use Sunbeam Liquid Descaler, which is

available at any Sunbeam Service Centre

listed in the Guarantee Leaflet. Alternatively,

dissolve 3 tablespoons of vinegar in two litres

of lukewarm water.

Descaling the espresso machine

Note: Ensure that the espresso machine is

turned off and the power cord is unplugged.

1. Remove the water reservoir from the

machine and if necessary empty any water.

2. Remove the drip tray and place it out of the

way.

3. Remove the filter holder from the machine

and rinse it thoroughly under running water

and set aside.

4. Place a cloth/tea towel on the bench

and carefully turn the machine upside

down. The machine should now be on

the warming plate resting on the cloth/tea

towel.

5. Using a screwdriver, unscrew the brewing

filter from the brewing head.

6. Remove and set aside the washer and

screw in a safe place.

Important: Be careful not to lose the washer

and screw once you have removed them from

the brewing filter.

7. Remove the filter from the centre hole

using the tip of a fork or a skewer. Wash

the filter in hot soapy water, rinse and dry

well. Set aside in a safe place.

8. Using a small brush, scrub in and around

the area of the brewing head, removing all

coffee granules.

9. Remove the froth enhancing steam

attachment, wash thoroughly under running

water and set aside. Wipe down the steam

wand/arm with a small brush.

10. Turn the machine upright, so that it is now

sitting correctly on the bench.

11. Fill the water reservoir with water to the

'MAX' line and add 1 capful of Sunbeam

Liquid Descaler or, alternatively fill the

water reservoir with the vinegar solution.

Place the water reservoir onto the espresso

machine.

12. Place a large container under the brewing

head and another container under the

steam wand/arm.

13. Insert the power cord into a 230-240V AC

power outlet and turn the power ‘On’.

14. Turn the selector dial to the setting.

Run through about ¹/³ of the liquid

immediately.

15. Once you have run through about ¹/³ of

the liquid turn the selector dial to the

setting and allow the solution to come

through the steam wand/arm for 2 minutes.

Descaling

16. After 2 minutes stop the machine by

flicking the power switch on the machine

to the ‘Off’ position. Now that the machine

is off, turn the selector dial to the

setting.

17. Leave the machine off for 10-15 minutes

to allow the descaler to take affect.

18. Flick the power switch ‘On’ and allow

½

of the rest of the descaler solution to run

through the brewing head, then turn the

selector dial immediately to the

setting.

Steam for 3-4 minutes.

19. To finish, turn the selector dial to the

setting and allow the remaining water in

the reservoir to run through the brewing

head.

20. Remove and empty the containers placed

under the brewing head and steam nozzle.

Once emptied, once again place one under

the brewing head and the other under the

steam wand/arm.

21. Remove the water reservoir from the

machine and rinse thoroughly under

running water, ensuring that all traces of

the descaling solution is removed. Fill the

water reservoir with clean water and place

onto the machine.

22. Run two (2) full water reservoirs through

the brewing head. Refill the water reservoir

and run the steam nozzle for 4-5 minutes.

Note: Ensure that you continue to run water

ESPRESSO (SHORT BLACK)

Espresso is a concentrated, full bodied coffee

with a stable layer of cream on top – known

as ‘crema’. An espresso is the foundation of

all café coffee. Variations are achieved by

adding different amounts of milk and froth.

• 90mL espresso glass or demitasse cup

• single espresso (30-35mL)

LONG BLACK

A standard espresso with hot water, served in

a regular coffee cup or mug. The hot water is

added first so that the ‘crema’ is maintained.

• 190mL cup

• hot water (to taste)

• single or double espresso

MACCHIATO

Macchiato, Italian for ‘to stain or mark’.

Traditionally served as a standard espresso

with a dash of milk and a small dollop of

froth into the middle of the ‘crema’.

• 90mL espresso glass or demitasse cup

• single or double espresso

• marked with steamed milk froth

FLAT WHITE

Another old favourite, the Flat White is

an espresso with steamed milk, served in

a regular coffee cup or mug. The layer of

frothed milk on top should be 2mm to seal

the coffee.

• 190mL cup

• single or double espresso

• steamed milk

Recipes

25

• single or double espresso

• two-thirds milky coffee, one-third froth
