2.Place the filter basket (e8) into the filter holder (e9) and rotate basket inside filter holder to secure it (11).
3.Fill with ground espresso. The filter basket is marked on the inside for 2 and 4 cups. Pack the coffee lightly and clear any excess coffee from the rim of the filter holder. This will assure proper fit to the brewing head

4.To insert the filter holder, place the filter handle’s to the left, raise the filter holder up into brewing head and turn the filter holder to the right, until it can go no further.
If the filter holder’s handle does not point toward you in lock position, do not operate the machine. Rather, remove the filter holder and reinsert it as described above (13).
By following this procedure this will prevent the filter holder from being dislodged as pressure builds up during the brewing process.
