hi i'm amanda with clive coffee
and today we're going to be setting up
your Lelit elizabeth dual boiler
espresso machine
step one inspect the box and the machine
for damage
remove the machine from the box we
recommend saving
all of the packing materials and boxes
set the machine
on a stable and level surface and
inspect the machine for any damage
if you notice any damage please contact
us right away
step two water quality and filling your
machine
before introducing any water into your
reservoir it's important to test it to
make sure it's within a safe range for
your machine
use the included water test strips to
verify the softness of your water
ideally we're looking for a hardness
around 50 parts per million

description of this video
step 3 starting your machine and filling
the boiler
plug your machine in and turn on the
power switch on the left side of the
machine
the machine will automatically start
filling the brew and steam boilers
after the boilers have filled you'll
want to pull some water through your
brew boiler and group head
press either shot button on the front
panel to activate the pump
once at least four ounces of water has
run through the group head
push the same button used before to stop
the pump
and insert the portafilter at this point
you'll have used most of the water in
your reservoir
and we'd recommend filling your
reservoir now to avoid running out of
water later
once the pid reaches 200 degrees
fahrenheit you're ready to start pulling
shots
with coffee in your portafilter lock it
into the group pad
and push either option one or option two
to begin your shot
when you reached your desired shot
weight or volume push the same button
that you had used previously to start
a few tips before we go the elizabeth
features a pid
which allows for exact control over your
boiler temperature
different coffees shine at different
brew temperatures
darker roasts tend to taste smoother at
a lower temperature
and lighter roast typically taste best
at a higher temp
with the entire range sitting anywhere
between about 195 to 205 degrees
fahrenheit
to adjust the brew temperature first
press the minus button
under the display a little wrench icon
will appear under the temperature
readout
pressing the plus button allows you to
edit this setting
you can now use the plus and minus
button to adjust
the desired brew temperature by 1 degree
increments
to save the setting leave the interface
alone for a few seconds
until the temperature readout stops
blinking pressing the minus button again
will show you the steam boiler
temperature
and continuing to press the minus button
will allow you to program
brewing times as well as the length of
the optional pre-infusion
continuing to press the minus button
will cycle back to the normal operating
display
