Producing hot water
It is also very easy to produce tea or other liquids.
•
Please check whether there is enough fresh water in the tank. Press the pump
button to refill the water supply. As soon as the water flows through the brew
head release the pump button and wait until the readiness lamp lights up.
•
Swing the steam valve outwards and place a heat resistant jug under the steam
valve. Slowly turn the steam control knob counter clockwise to open the steam
valve completely. Press the pump button.
•
Hot water runs now out the steam valve. As soon as the required amount of hot
water is reached, release the pump button and close the steam valve entirely.
•
If the readiness lamp switches off before the required amount of water is in the
jug, release the pump button and close the steam valve entirely. Please wait
until the readiness lamp lights up again. You can than proceed to produce hot
water as described above.

Helpful Hints

Since heat preserves flavour, we advise to preheat the cups.
Filtered or bottled water improves the taste of your espresso. Please do not use
