.WITH THE SPECIAL «ESE» FILTER

The E.S.E. system was designed for making Italian-style espresso ristreto (squeezed). The amount of coffee is 35 ml and the water should take 20 seconds to run through.

(see Individual Programming to adjust volume)

«ESE», which stands for «Easy Serving

Espresso» , is a selected measure of coffee, ground and pressed between two filter papers making it ready for use. This system makes it easy for you to prepare your espresso because you avoid the measurement and tamping down operations and it also makes it easier for you to clean the appliance.

We do not intend, or recommend, that the ESE servings are used for making a long coffee.

We recommend that you take care, when handling and storing the ESE servings, that they do not become deformed.

For best results, we recommend that you pre- heat the accessories (filter holder, filter and cups) without any coffee. Do this as described in the Making an Espresso using Espresso Ground Coffee section.

. Preparing an espresso:

•Fill the water tank (1) (2) (3) and start the appliance (4).

•Place the ESE serving in the ESE filter (18).

Tear excess paper from the pod at the perforated edge. Place the ESE pod with the RED MARKING FACE DOWN (bend the paper corners down).

•Take care to put all the paper inside the filter to avoid any drips.

Placing the ESE pod correctly will create a richer, thicker crema.

•Put the filter holder in place (6) (7) (8) by pressing it firmly to the right.

As soon as the control lamp on the coffee buttons glows continuously, the appliance is ready to operate.

•Press the coffee key (9).

•At the beginning, there is a pre-brewing time lasting 2 or 3 seconds.

•When the recommended quantity of coffee has been reached (35ml), press the coffee button (9) if suitable volume was not preprogrammed.

•Remove the filter holder from the brewing head and throw away the used measure.

. Individual Programming:

Should you wish to alter the preprogrammed quantity (50ml per cup, manufacturing setting) of hot espresso filled into one or two cups, proceed as follows:

•Fill the water tank (1) (2) (3) and start the appliance (4).

•Put the filter for one or two cups into the filter holder (5).

•Replace the filter holder (6) (7).
