Please note:
• For correct operation, before filling with ground coffee,
make sure there are no coffee residues left in the filter from
the last time you made coffee.
• While the appliance is making coffee, delivery can be in-
terrupted at any moment by pressing the coffee button
pressed previously.
• At the end of delivery (within 3 seconds), to increase the
amount of coffee in the cup, press and hold the coffee but-
ton pressed previously. Delivery stops automatically after
a few seconds.
• To avoid splashes, never remove the filter holder while the
appliance is delivering coffee. Always wait for a few sec-
onds after delivery.
4.1 Pressing the coffee:
Correct pressing of the ground coffee is essential to obtain a
good espresso.
• If you press too firmly, the coffee will be delivered slowly
and will be strong.
• If you press too lightly, the coffee will be delivered quickly
and will be weak.
4.2 Tips for a hotter coffee
• Before making the coffee, warm the cups by rinsing them
with a little hot water.
• Attach the filter holder (C1) with the filter (C2) or (C3) to the
appliance, but without adding coffee. Using the same
cup as will later be used to make the coffee, press the 1 cup
button and deliver hot water into the cup to heat it.
• Increase the coffee temperature in the settings menu (see
“9. Settings menu”).
• Stand the cups you will be using on the cup warmer (A4)
which becomes hot during operation.

2. Insert the pod, centring it as far as possible on the filter (fig.
15). Always follow the instructions on the pod pack to posi-
tion the pod on the filter correctly.
3. Attach the filter holder to the appliance (fig. 7).
4. Place the cup under the filter holder spouts.
5. Make sure the lights corresponding to the coffee buttons
are on, then press the coffee button (B1).

stops automatically.
7. To remove the filter holder, turn the handle from right to

a time.
• While the appliance is making coffee, delivery can be in-
terrupted at any moment by pressing the coffee button
pressed previously.

amount of coffee in the cup, press and hold the coffee but-
ton pressed previously. Delivery stops automatically after
a few seconds.
• To avoid splashes, never remove the filter holder while the
appliance is delivering coffee. Always wait for a few sec-
onds after delivery.
