How to make a good Espresso coffee:

1 Follow the procedure described under “Preparation”.

2 Select the correct ﬁlter basket (10, 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).

Pre-heat the ﬁlter holder (9) by pressing the coffee/hot

water switch (2); water will start coming out of the

ﬁlter holder (this operation is required for the ﬁrst coffee

only).

After dispensing 50cc of water press again the coffee /hot

water switch (2) to stop water dispensing.

4. Remove the ﬁlter holder (9) and ﬁll it with ground coffee

using the measuring spoon included in the supply. 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. Press the hot

water/coffee switch (2).

7 When the cups are 3/4 full, press again the coffee

switch(2). 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

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.

OPTIONAL

“Perfect cream” ﬁlter (13)

Even when the coffee is not properly ground, the “perfect

cream ﬁlter” will help produce the foamy ‘cream’

typical of ﬁne espresso.

You can use the “perfect cream ﬁlter” with a single

or double dose of ground coffee by using the special

measuring scoop.

To ensure perfect performance, clean your “perfect

cream ﬁlter” every day prior to use.

Should your “perfect cream ﬁlter” become clogged,

immerse it for a few seconds in boiling water.

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

How to use the coffee pods

To use pods, use exclusively the appropriate ﬁlter (16).

After heating (“see “How to make a good Espresso

coffee” section, step 3), remove the ﬁlter holder (9) and

insert the pod; make sure that the pod paper does not come

out of the ﬁlter holder.

Insert the ﬁlter holder in the machine with a 45° movement

leftwards.

Then turn rightwards to hold it in position. The ﬁlter holder

handle shall be perpendicular to the machine or slightly moved

rightwards.

Then follow the “How to make a good Espresso

coffee” procedure – steps 6 to 8.
