OPERATING YOUR BREVILLE CAFÉ MODENA ESPRESSO MACHINE
Preparing the coffee
1.Place the 1 or 2 cup filter into the filter holder (use the smaller filter for 1 cup / 1oz and the larger filter for 2 cups / 2oz or 2 singles at the same time). When brewing for a mug of coffee always use the 2 cup fitter and only extract 2 oz. If you require a larger coffee, add the hot water first and then brew the coffee.
2.Use 1 level measure of ground espresso coffee for the 1 cup filter and 2 level measures for the 2 cup filter. It is important to use the correct amount of coffee for each filter as the filter perforations have been constructed to utilize the pressure in the machine to extract optimal flavor with each brewing.
3.Distribute the coffee evenly and press it lightly with the bottom of the meas- uring spoon (if there is too much coffee, the flow of water can become blocked).
4.Clean any excess coffee from the rim of the filter holder to ensure a proper fit under the brew head.
5.Place the filter holder underneath the brew head so that the handle is positioned to the left of center. Lift the filter holder until it contacts the brew head and slowly rotate to the right. This will lock it in place.
