How to prepare coffee using pods
1.Preheat the machine as described in the ‘Preheating the Coffee Machine’ section, attaching the coffee filter holder with 1 cup or pod filter to the unit.This procedure ensures that the coffee is delivered at a hotter temperature and that the seal of the hold- er is more effective.
Note: Use pods which conform to the ESE standard: this will be indicated on the packaging by the symbol as in fig. 13.
The ESE standard is a system accepted by the leading coffee pod manufacturers, and allows espresso coffee to be prepared simply and without any mess.
2.Place the small filter (1 cup or pods) in the filter holder, making sure the projection is correctly inserted in the slot as shown in fig. 8.
3.Insert a pod, centring it as far as possible on the filter (fig. 14). Always follow the instructions on the pod pack to position the pod on the filter correctly.
4.Attach the filter holder onto the machine, moving from left to right (fig 5).
5.Proceed as in points 4, 5 and 6 of the previous section (how to prepare espresso coffee using the filter holder for ground cof-
fee).
Important: should the coffee holder for pods be used after one for ground coffee, it’s necessary to clear the ground coffee remain- ing in the boiler outlet.This cleaning operation is necessary in order to avoid water leakages.
How to make cappuccino
1.Prepare espresso coffee, using cups that are large enough for cappuccinos
2.Press the steam button (fig. 15) and wait for the steam indicator light to come on (fig. 16).The OK indicator light indicates that the boiler has reached the ideal temperature for steam production.
3.In the meantime, fill a container with about 100 grams of milk for each cappuccino to be prepared. Ideally use a small stainless steel jug. The milk must be at refrigerator temperature (not hot!). In choosing the size of the container, bear in mind that the milk increases in volume by 2 or 3 times. NB:YOU ARE RECOMMENDED TO USE
4.Place the container with the milk under the cappuccino maker.
5.Dip the cappuccino maker into the milk (fig. 17), taking care not to immerse the raised line on the cappuccino maker (indicated by the arrow in fig. 18).
