the setup

you’ll find an anza r2 espresso machine and a fellow opus grinder on the counter. both are ready to use — designed for calm, simple mornings at hinterhouse.

more of a visual learner? here are some videos from the anza team.

1.prepare the machine

• make sure the water tank (at the back) is filled with fresh, filtered water.

• turn the machine on. it takes about 10 minutes to fully warm up — use that time to grind your beans.

• when the light turns solid, it’s ready.

2.grind your coffee

• place the metal grind container under the grinder chute.

• add enough beans to lightly cover the bottom — about two tablespoons.

• grind on a fine setting.

• spoon the grounds into the portafilter until it’s just below the rim, then tamp evenly with gentle pressure.

3.pull your shot

• lock the portafilter into the machine.

• place your cup under the spout.

• press the single or double button.

• the shot should run for about 25–30 seconds — smooth and rich.

4.steam milk (optional)

• press the steam button and wait until the light indicates ready.

• purge the wand (a quick burst of steam).

• froth your milk until warm and velvety.

• wipe the wand and purge again.

• pour slowly. breathe. enjoy.

5.aftercare

• knock out the used coffee puck and rinse the portafilter.

• wipe the group head and steam wand.

• empty the drip tray if needed.

• please use filtered water only — it keeps the machine happy.

• leave everything clean and dry for the next guest.
