Beans and the Bean Hoppers The Xpress is configured to deliver both regular and decaffeinated espresso beverages. Whole espresso roast beans are placed in the bean hoppers, which are gravity fed to the grinders. Always use fresh, whole espresso roast beans to ensure a quality beverage.

Milk and the Milk System Refrigeration Unit The refrigeration unit is designed to accommodate two standard 1-gallon (4-liter) milk containers.

Milk Weight Trays Inside the refrigeration unit, the milk containers sit on top of milk weight trays.

Milk weight trays need to be correctly positioned in the refrigeration unit in order to allow the milk delivery system to operate properly.
Flavor and the Flavor System The Xpress is equipped to provide flavors for customer drinks. These flavors are automatically dispensed and infused into the milk at the push of a button. This infusion results in an even distribution of the selected flavor throughout the drink.
Replacing a Flavor Box 1. Open box at the “OPEN HERE” location, and extract the connector. 2. Remove protective seal from the connector. 3. Clean the nozzle and o-ring thoroughly with a wet cloth, to remove any debris, provide lubrication, and remove syrup or sauce residue.
