How to make an Espresso
1. Follow carefully the safety indications!
2. Place the control knob in OFF position.
3. Lay the drop grid on the round depression in the drop collector cover.
4. Remove the boiler lid and the filter holder. Should there be water in the boiler,
turn the machine upside down and drain the water.
5. Insert the filter bowl in the filter holder. Swing the filter protection to the back.
6. Fill the filter bowl to the desired level (the inside of the filter bowl is marked with
measure markings, 2 = 2 cups, 4 = 4 cups) with ground espresso coffee.
Spread the coffee evenly and press it slightly with the measuring spoon.
Important: The reason why the coffee is pressed in the filter bowl is to distribute
evenly the coffee and not to compress it. If there is too much coffee, the flow of
the water is blocked. This may cause damage to the machine or lead to injuries.
Remove carefully any coffee from the rim of the filter.
7. Insert the filter holder in the brewing head and turn the handle to the right (in
LOCK direction) to position it correctly. Make sure that the filter holder is
fastened properly to the brewing head to avoid the splashing of hot coffee.
8. Fill the glass pot with enough cold water for the desired number of cups (do not
exceed the 4 cup mark). Pour the water into the boiler.
9. Put back into place the boiler lid and screw it on.
10. Place the empty glass pot with the lid on at the center of the drip collection grid.
11. Connect the appliance to a duly installed 230V/50Hz socket with earthing pro-
tection. Turn the control knob to brew position. The display lights up. After three
minutes the espresso starts to flow into the glass pot.
12. When the brewing is over, turn the control knob to the OFF position. Remove
the glass pot from the drip collection grid.
13. Wait a few seconds before removing the filter holder. Remove the filter bowl with
the filter protection. Remove the remaining coffee. Clean the machine as descri-
bed in „Cleaning and Maintenance“.

coffee and continue as described below.
13. Fill the hot espresso into (a) pre-heated cup/s. Place it on the hot plate to keep
it warm.
14. Fill the glass pot with fresh, cold milk without exceeding the 2-cup mark. To
obtain a good foam, use a high-fat milk!
15. Place the glass pot under the steam nozzle. Lift the recipient until the vapor jet
is immersed 1/2 cm in the milk. Turn the control knob slowly to the vapor jet
position. The vapor is ejected from the vapor jet to froth up the milk. As the volu-
me of the foam rises, lift the glass pot slightly so that the tip of the nozzle is
always immersed in the milk. Continue this operation for approximately 45
seconds according to your taste or until the milk’s volume has doubled. Make
