HOW TO PREPARE ESPRESSO COFFEE USING PODS
(FOR APPLIANCES WITH TWO FILTERS ONLY)
1.Preheat the appliance as described in the section
"PREHEATING THE COFFEE UNIT", making sure the
filter holder is attached This obtains a hotter coffee.
NB: use pods conforming to the ESE standard,
indicated on the pack by the following symbol:
The ESE standard is a system accepted by leading pod
producers and enables espresso coffee to be prepared
simply and cleanly.
2.Place the small 1 coffee or pod filter in the filter
holder, making sure the projection is correctly
inserted in the slot as shown in fig. 8.
3.Insert a pod, centring it as far as possible on the filter
(fig. 14).Always follow the instructions on the pod
pack to position the pod on the filter correctly.
4.Attach the filter holder to the appliance. Always
rotate as far as it will go (fig. 5).
5.Proceed as in points 5, 6 and 7 in the previous
paragraph.
HOW TO MAKE CAPPUCCINO
1.Prepare espresso coffee, using cups that are large
enough for cappuccinos
2.Turn the selector knob to the position (fig. 15)
and wait until the “OK” light comes on (fig. 6) to
indicate that the boiler has reached the ideal
temperature for producing steam.
3.In the meantime, fill a container with approximately
100 gr. of milk for each cappuccino to be prepared.
The milk must be cold from the refrigerator (not
warm!). In choosing the container, bear in mind that
the volume of the milk will increase by 2 or 3 times.
NOTE: We suggest you used semi-skimed milk at
refrigerator temperature.
4.Position the container with the milk in it under the
milk frother (fig 16).
5.Immerse the cappuccino maker nozzle about 2 cm
deep into the milk and turn the steam knob in an
anti-clockwise direction (fig. 17) (by turning the knob
to a greater or lesser extent, it is possible to vary the
quantity of steam that comes out from the cappuccino
maker). At this point, the milk will begin to increase
in volume and to appear frothy.
6.Once the desired temperature has been reached (the
ideal temperature is 60°C), stop the delivery of steam
by turning the steam knob in a clockwise direction
and at the same time positioning the selector knob at
“O” (fig. 13).
7.Pour the frothed milk into the cups containing the
espresso coffee. Your cappuccino is now ready. Add
sugar to taste and, if desired, sprinkle a little
powdered chocolate on top of the froth.
Note: to prepare more than one cappuccino, first
make all the coffees then at the end prepare the
frothed milk for all the cappuccinos.
IMPORTANT: always clean the milk frother and steam
nozzle immediately after use. Proceed as follows:
1.By turning the steam knob (fig. 17), allow a little
steam to come out for a few seconds. Then close
firmly by turning clockwise.
2.Hold the upper part tight with one hand and use your
other hand to unscrew the cappuccino maker,
rotating it in a clockwise direction, and remove it
from the nozzle (fig. 18).
3.Remove the steam nozzle by sliding it off the delivery
tube.
4.Wash the cappuccino maker and steam nozzle
thoroughly with warm water.
5.Make sure the two holes indicated with an arrow in
fig. 19 are not blocked. If necessary, clean with a
pin.
