.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.
