.WITH THE SPECIAL «ESE» FILTER
The E.S.E. system was designed for making
(see Individual Programming to adjust volume)
«ESE», which stands for «Easy Serving
Espresso» , is a selected measure of coffee, ground and pressed between two filter papers making it ready for use. This system makes it easy for you to prepare your espresso because you avoid the measurement and tamping down operations and it also makes it easier for you to clean the appliance.
We do not intend, or recommend, that the ESE servings are used for making a long coffee.
We recommend that you take care, when handling and storing the ESE servings, that they do not become deformed.
For best results, we recommend that you pre- heat the accessories (filter holder, filter and cups) without any coffee. Do this as described in the Making an Espresso using Espresso Ground Coffee section.

•Fill the water tank (1) (2) (3) and start the appliance (4).
•Place the ESE serving in the ESE filter (18).
Tear excess paper from the pod at the perforated edge. Place the ESE pod with the RED MARKING FACE DOWN (bend the paper corners down).
•Take care to put all the paper inside the filter to avoid any drips.
Placing the ESE pod correctly will create a richer, thicker crema.
