Coffee preparation

1 Follow the procedure described under “Preparation”.

2Select the correct filter basket (10 or 11) and insert it in the filter holder (9).

Use the small filter for 1 cup and the large filter for 2 cups of espresso.

Then insert filter-holder (9) into the appliance and wait at least 10 minutes.

3After the warm-up period, remove the warm filter-holder (9) from the brewing head and fill with correctly ground espresso coffee using the measuring spoon provided.

Place one level measure of coffee in basket for each cup of espresso. Do not overfill. Gently tamp down coffee with the tamper

(18)provided. Do not compress too firmly. 4 Clean any excess coffee from the rim of filter

holder (9). Insert filter holder into brew head by holding handle approximately 45 degrees to the left as you face machine. When properly aligned,move handle firmly to the right to lock into position.

The handle should point to the front of the machine or slightly to the right.

5 Place one or two espresso cups on the drip plate to line up with the spouts of the filter holder. Press the button corresponding to the stored coffee dose. Espresso will start to flow into cups.

6 The dispensed coffee dose will exactly correspond to the programmed dose keeping constant the doses customized by you.

When properly made, the espresso will have a light brown foam “crema” floating on the top. If not, refer to “In the event of faulty function”.

7 Remove cups and serve.

8 To make more espresso, carefully and slowly remove the filter holder by moving handle to the left. Be careful as hot water will be on top of the coffee grinds in the holder. Some water will continue to drip from brewing head as filter holder is removed. That is normal and due to the pump pressure in the system.

Knock out used coffee grinds from filter. For more espresso repeat steps 2 to 7 above.

9 To prepare coffee manually, carry out steps

2 through 5 and then press button 6. When you have obtained the desired quantity of coffee in the cup, press button 6 again to stop the cycle. Then proceed with steps 6 and 7.

N.B.: Dispensing should not exceed 40 seconds.

OPTIONAL

“Perfect crema” device (13)

To ensure the optimum function of the “Perfect cream” device, insert the frothing jet device into the filter holder.

We recommend that the “Perfect cream” device be cleaned on a daily basis, before use, in order to prevent any blockage of the delivery holes. A pin may be used to clean out the hole.

Even if the type of coffee grinding is not correct the use of the “Perfect cream” device will pro- duce the typical creamy froth of an espresso coffee.

N.B.: Only use the “perfect cream device with a large 2-cup filter.

Preparing cappuccino:

When preparing to make a cappuccino, have all of the ingredients at hand as well as a frothing pitcher (or mug) halffilled with skimmed or low-fat milk and cups that are larger (6 oz.) than those used for espresso.

Frothing Milk:

The higher the fat content in the milk the denser the froth will be. The Turbo-Frother (8) or milk frother (24) will give you all the froth required but don’t let milk come to a boil.

It may require two or three attempts to “become an expert” but you will be successful at frothing milk if you give it a chance. Swivel the Turbo- Frother steam nozzle (or milk frother) slightly outward so that you can get the frothing pitcher under the nozzle without knocking the base of the machine.

Turbo frother steam nozzle version:

1Make espresso (in a large cups) as described above

2 Press steam switch (5).

3After 25 to 30 seconds or, when temperature ready-light (1) goes on, place the frothing pitcher halffilled with low-fat milk under Tur- bo Frother steam nozzle so that tip is just under the surface of the milk. See Fig.03.
