How to prepare espresso coffee using the filter holder for ground coffee

1.After preheating the appliance, the machine is ready to be used. Insert the ground coffee filter with crema enhancer into the fil- ter holder, making sure the tab is correctly inserted into the housing as shown in fig. 7.

2.To prepare a single coffee, fill the filter with a level measure of ground coffee, about 7 g (fig. 8). To prepare two coffees, use the

filter and fill with two loosely filled measures of ground coffee (about 6+6 g). Fill the filter in small doses to prevent the ground coffee from overflowing.

Note: Use good quality, finely-ground coffee for espresso coffee machines.

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

3.Distribute the ground coffee evenly and press it lightly with the coffee tamper (fig. 9).

NOTE: Pressing the ground 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 too light, coffee will come out too fast and crema will be a very light colour.

4.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. 4).

5.Place the cup or cups under the filter holder spouts (fig. 10).You are recommended to heat the cups before making the coffee by rinsing them with a little hot water or placing them to warm on the top plate for at least 15-20 minutes (fig. 11).

6.Make sure the OK indicator light (fig. 5) is on (if it is off, wait until it comes on), then press the coffee button (fig. 6). Once the required quantity of coffee has been obtained, interrupt delivery by pressing the same button again (fig. 6).

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

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

8.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).

9.To turn the coffee machine off, press the ON/OFF button (fig. 3).
