The ground coffee in the filter holder has to be pressed lightly. Whether the coffee is stronger or weaker depends on the degree the coffee is ground, the quantity put into the filter holder and the pressing. Just a few seconds are needed for the coffee to flow down into the cups. If the dispensing time is longer, this means that the coffee is ground too fine or that the coffee put into the filter holder has been pressed too much.

To get a cup of coffee with a finer cream, use the filter (I) together with the disk (H); to get a higher cream, use instead only the filter

(I) after having removed the disk (H) from the filter holder.
