How to make a good Espresso coffee:

1 Follow the procedure described under “Pre-

paration”.

2 Select the correct filter basket (10 or 11) and

insert it in the filter holder (9).

Use the small filter for 1 cup and the large

filter for 2 cups of espresso.

Then insert the filter holder (9) into the

brewing head (11) to warm-up

3 Wait until the machine has reached the

correct temperature with filter holder inserted

(heating time of about 6 minutes).

Use this time to set table, prepare cups,

coffee, milk, etc

4 After the warm-up period, remove the warm

filter-holder (9) from the brewing head and

fill with correctly ground espresso coffee

using the measuring spoon provided.

Place one level measure of coffee in basket

for each cup of espresso. Do not overfill.

Gently tamp down coffee with the tamper

(18) provided. Do not compress too firmly.

5 Clean any excess coffee from the rim of

filter holder (9). Insert filter holder into brew

head by holding handle approximately 45

degrees to the left as you face machine.

When properly aligned,move handle firmly

to the right to lock into position.

The handle should point to the front of the

machine or slightly to the right.

6 Place one or two espresso cups on the drip plate

to line up with the spouts of the filter holder. De-

press hot water/brew switch (2) to pos. “On”.

Espresso will start to flow into cups.

7 When cups are 3/4 full, release brew switch

to “Off”. The more water you allow to

flow, the weaker the coffee. When properly

made, the espresso will have a light brown

foam “crema” floating on the top.

If not, refer to “In the event of faulty

function”.

8 Remove cups and serve.

9 To make more espresso, carefully and slowly

remove the filter holder by moving handle to

the left. Be careful as hot water will be on top

of the coffee grinds in the holder. Some water

will continue to drip from brewing head as

filter holder is removed. That is normal and

due to the pump pressure in the system. Knock

out used coffee grinds from filter. For more

espresso repeat steps 4 to 8 above

Preparing cappuccino:

When preparing to make a cappuccino, have

all of the ingredients at hand as well as a

frothing pitcher (or mug) halffilled with skimmed

or low-fat milk and cups that are larger (6 oz.)

than those used for espresso.

Frothing Milk:

The higher the fat content in the milk the

denser the froth will be. The Turbo-Frother (8)

or the cappuccino maker pos.24 will give you

all the froth required but don’t let milk come

to a boil.

It may require two or three attempts to “become

an expert” but you will be successful at frothing

milk if you give it a chance. Swivel the Turbo-

Frother steam nozzle (or milk frother) slightly

outward so that you can get the frothing pitcher

under the nozzle without knocking the base of

the machine.

OPTIONAL

“Perfect crema” device (13)

To ensure the optimum function of the “Perfect

cream” device, insert the frothing jet device

into the filter holder.

We recommend that the “Perfect cream”

device be cleaned on a daily basis, before

use, in order to prevent any blockage of the

delivery holes. A pin may be used to clean

out the hole.

Even if the type of coffee grinding is not

correct the use of the “Perfect cream” device

will produce the typical creamy froth of an

espresso coffee.

N.B.: Only use the “perfect cream device with

a large 2-cup filter.
