PREPARING THE COFFEE
1.Place the 1 or 2 cup filter into the filter holder and fill with espresso coffee (use the smaller filter for 1 cup and the larger filter for 2 cups).
2.Use 1 level measure of 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 as the filter perforations have been constructed for optimal pressure build up in the machine.
3.Distribute the coffee evenly and press it lightly with the bottom of the measuring 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.Holding the handle of the filter holder, slide back the black release clip towards you.
6.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 rotate to the right. This will lock it in place.
BREWING COFFEE

6.Set the selector control to the ‘ESPRESSO’ position.
7.After a few seconds, aromatic coffee will begin to run through.
8.When sufficient coffee has flowed into the cups, set the selector control to the ‘OFF’ position. This will stop the flow of coffee.
9.If you do not need to use the steam function, set the power switch to the ‘OFF’ position, unplug the power cord and allow the machine to cool.
10.Remove the filter holder from the brew head and using the filter retainer clip to secure the filter in the filter holder, turn the filter holder upside down to empty the used coffee (used coffee grounds should be thrown away with domestic waste and not down the sink which may block drains). Rinse the filter and filter holder with water and allow to dry.
The machine remains ready for brewing and maintains a constant heating temperature as long as the Power switch is left in the ‘On’ position. If the temperature should drop, the orange control light will illuminate and the heater will automatically heat up to the correct brewing temperature.
