measures of ground coffee (about 6+6 g) in the
filter. Fill the filter a little at a time to prevent the
ground coffee from overflowing.
Attention:
for correct use, before filling the filter
with ground coffee always make sure there is
no residual coffee in the filter from the previous
infusion.
3. Distribute the ground coffee evenly and press
lightly with the presser (fig. 10).
NB: Correct pressing of the ground coffee is
essential to obtain a good espresso. If pressing is
excessive, coffee delivery will be slow and the froth
will be dark. If pressing is too light, coffee delivery
will be too rapid and the froth will be skimpy and
light coloured.
4. Remove any excess coffee from the rim of the filter
holder and attach to the appliance. Rotate firmly
(fig. 5) to avoid water leaking out.
5. Place the cup or cups under the filter holder spouts
(fig. 11). You are recommended to heat the cups
before making the coffee by rinsing them with a
little hot water or placing them to warm on the top
plate for at least 15-20 minutes.
6. Make sure the OK (coffee ready) light (fig. 6) is on
(if it is off, wait until it comes on), then press the
coffee button (fig. 7). Once the required quantity
of coffee has been obtained, interrupt delivery by
pressing the same button again (fig. 7).
7. To remove the filter holder, rotate the handle from
right to left.
