SITE REQUIREMENTS
ES•2C
PHYSICAL
The brewer is for indoor use only on a sturdy counter. It is 261⁄2” (67 cm) wide,16” (40.5 cm) tall, and 191⁄2
(49 cm) deep. The brewer weighs approximately 142 pounds (64.5 kg) when the water tank is filled.
”
PLUMBING
The brewer must be connected to a cold water source with operating pressure between 20 and 90 psi (1.5-
6.5 bar) from a 1⁄2” or larger supply line. Install a valve in the water line before the brewer. Install a regulator
before the brewer when the pressure is greater than 100 psi (7 bar) to reduce it to 45-60 psi ( 3-4 bar). The
enclosed water strainer and either of the two enclosed water inlet hose assemblies must be installed before
the brewer.
NOTE-Only softened or demineralized water should ever be used in this espresso brewer to reduce the service
problems caused by naturally occuring elements in your local water supply. A polyphosphate feeder is not
recommended because it does not remove minerals.
NOTE-Bunn-O-Matic recommends 3⁄8” copper tubing for no more than 25 feet from the 1⁄2” water supply line.
Bunn-O-Matic does not recommentd the use of a saddle valve to install the brewer. The size and shape of the
hole made in the supply line by this type of device may restrict water flow.
ELECTRICAL
The brewer is equipped with an attached cordset and requires a 2-wire, grounded mating receptacle rated
208-240 volts ac, 20 amp, single phase, 60 Hz. An electrician must properly install a NEMA L6-20R connector
to the appropriate electrical service on an individual branch circuit to install this brewer.
CAUTION-The brewer must be properly grounded. A plumbing line will not provide an adequate ground.

BREWING TIPS
ES•2C
GENERAL
Good espresso is identified by its taste, aroma, and the manner in which it is served. All of these elements
can be improved-upon to serve your customers a better product.
BEAN SELECTION
The selection of a blend of coffee is a matter of personal choice. A blend with a high proportion of Central
and/or South American beans results in a beverage with a soft and agreeable flavor. A blend with a high
proportion of African, Arabian, or Indonesian beans results in a bevewrage with a stronger flavor.
BEAN STORAGE
Roasted beans begin to lose their flavor and aroma shortly after roasting. It is not advisable to keep large
quantities of coffee beans. Roasted beans should always be stored in an airtight container in a cool, dry place
to retain these qualities for as long as possible.
GRIND
Make sure the grinder is functioning properly and delivering the correct grind. Place a small amount of
ground coffee in the palm of your hand and spread it out some. The particles should be small and for the most
part, uniform in size. There should be almost no really large grains. If the grind doesn’t look right, try adjusting
the grinder. The true test of the grind, though is when you brew.
GROUND COFFEE STORAGE
Do not store quantities of ground espresso coffee, even overnight. The use of freshly ground espresso
coffee is always advisable for better flavor extraction and aroma.
ACCESSORIES & TOOLS
Keep a supply of serving cups warming on top of the brewer, even when not a busy time. This assures the
customer a hot cup of espresso each time. The cups will draw heat from the beverage if they are too thick.
Medium-sized cups improve the presentation of the served beverage by allowing a slight amount of turbulence
in the cup as the espresso falls from the filter holder. The crema can then rise easily to the surface.
Store all mixing tools, ie: spoons, etc. in hot water so they will not draw the heat from the beverage.
CLEANLINESS
Keep all items used in the preparation of espresso and related beverages clean. It improves the
presentation of the product served and it’s just a good sanitary practice.

TROUBLESHOOTING
A troubleshooting guide is provided to suggest probable causes and remedies for the most likely problems
encountered. If the problem remains after exhausting the troubleshooting steps, contact the Bunn-O-Matic
Technical Service Department at (800) 637-8606.
•
•
•
Inspection, testing, and repair of electrical equipment should be performed only by qualified service
personnel.
Solenoid removal requires interrupting the water supply to the valve. Damage may result if solenoids are
energized for more than ten minutes without a supply of water.
The use of two wrenches is recommended whenever plumbing fittings are tightened or loosened. This will
help to avoid twists and kinks in the tubing.
•
•
Make certain that all plumbing connections are sealed and electrical connections tight and isolated.
This brewer is heated at all times unless disconnected from the power source. Keep away from
combustibles.
•
•
All electronic components have 208-240 volt ac and low voltage dc potential on their terminals. Shorting
of terminals or the application of external voltages may result in board failure.
Intermittent operation of electronic circuit boards is unlikely. Board failure will normally be permanent. If
an intermittent condition is encountered, the cause will likely be a loose connection at a terminal or crimp.
WARNINGS
•
•
•
•
Exercise extreme caution when servicing electrical equipment.
Disconnect the brewer from the power source when servicing, except when specified.
Follow recommended service procedures.
Replace all protective shields and safety notices.
