How to prepare espresso coffee

1.After carrying out the preheating of the machine as described in the preceding section, in order to make just one cup of espresso coffee, insert the 1-cup filter (the smaller of the two provided) into the filter holder (Fig. 8) and fill it with one level

measuring spoon of ground coffee (fig. 9) – about 7 grams. If you wish to prepare two cups of espresso coffee, use the 2-cup filter (the larger of the two provided) and fill it with two less- than-level measuring spoons of ground coffee (about 6+6 grams).

IMPORTANT: for correct operation, before adding the ground coffee to the filter holder, make sure the filter is free from ground coffee from the previous infusion.

2.Distribute the ground coffee evenly and press it lightly with the coffee tamper (Fig. 10).

NOTE:Pressing the coffee is very important in order to prepare a good coffee. However if you press too hard, coffee will come out slowly and crema will be of a dark colour. If you press to light, coffee will come out too fast and crema will be a very light colour.

3.Remove any excess coffee from the rim of the filter holder. Attach the filter holder to the machine by positioning the handle to the left of the boiler outlet, then pushing upwards and turning the handle to the right (as in preheating the machine fig. 5).

4.Place the cup or cups (cups can be preheated by rinsing under hot water or heating on the cup warmer plate for 10 minutes) on the removable drip tray (fig 11). Ensure that the cup or cups line up with the dispensing holes on the filter holder. Press the on/off button (fig. 4).

5.Wait until the “OK” light comes on (fig 6) then press the cof- fee button (fig. 7). Once the required quantity of coffee has been obtained, interrupt delivery by pressing the same button again (fig. 7).

6.To detach the filter holder, turn the handle from right to left.

To avoid any splashing, do not detach the filter holder while the machine is dispensing coffee.

7.To remove the used coffee lock the filter with the built-in lever and let the coffee fall out by knocking the over turned filter holder (fig. 12).

8.To turn the coffee machine off, press the ON/OFF button (fig. 4).
