How to prepare coffee using the filter holder for pods (depending upon model)
1.Preheat the machine as described in the ‘Preheating the Coffee Machine’ section, attaching the pod filter holder to the unit.This procedure ensures that the coffee is delivered at a hotter tem- perature and that the seal of the holder is more effective.
2.Remove the pod filter holder and tip any excess water away. Press the filter holder button and insert the pod into the filter (fig 13).
Note: Use pods which conform to the ESE standard: this will be indicated on the packaging by the symbol as in fig. 14.
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.
3.Attach the filter holder onto the machine, moving from left to right (fig 4).
4.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).
5.To remove the pod, press the button on the filter holder and simply lift the pod out
6.To turn the coffee machine off, press the ON/OFF button (fig. 3).
Note: to ensure a tight fit and avoid water leaking from the rim of the filter holder, you are recommended to grease the bottom of the lateral tabs from time to time with butter or oil (as shown in fig. 15).
IMPORTANT: Should the coffee holder for pods be used after one for ground coffee, it’s necessary to clear the ground coffee remained in the espresso boiler outlet (fig. 16).This cleaning operation is necessary in order to avoid water leakages.
Note: If you use the “Illycaffè” coffee pods supplied in your machine, insert the coffee pod ensuring the name “Illy” is facing down and the long side of the pod goes from left to right between the two tabs.
