5.Press the On/Off Power Switch to turn the espresso machine on.

6.Wait until the espresso machine has reached operating temperature; this will take approximately 6 minutes. When the espresso boiler temperature gauge needle climbs into the “ready” zone, the espresso machine is ready to brew.

7.Remove the portafilter from the brew head by moving the handle to the left. Place one level measure of ground coffee (or a paper coffee pod) in the small filter basket, or two measures of ground coffee in the large basket. Be sure to use a fine espresso-style grind for your coffee.

8.Using the tamper, tamp the coffee down firmly with a twisting motion. Make sure the surface of the coffee is as level as possible. See “Leveling” and “Tamping” on page 32 and 33 for details.

9.Sweep any excess grinds from the rim of the portafilter, and insert the portafilter into the brew head.

10.Place one or two espresso cups on the drip plate under the spouts of the portafilter. Press the Espresso Button, and espresso will start to flow into cups. When the desired amount of espresso has been brewed (usually 1 oz. using the small filter basket and 2 oz. using the large filter basket), press the Espresso Button to stop brewing.

NOTE: Do not remove the portafilter when brewing.

11.The espresso machine is equipped with a 3-way solenoid valve that instantly releases pressure in the brew group when the water pump is switched off, so the portafilter can be removed immediately after brewing. Remove the portafilter by moving the handle to the left. When knocking coffee grounds from the filter basket, avoid striking the portafilter handle.
