2.   Place a cup under the filter holder. Use the same cup as will 

be used to prepare the coffee in order to preheat it.

3.  Wait until the OK light comes on (fig. 8) and immediately 

afterwards turn the selector dial to the  

 position 

(fig. 9) and let water discharge until the 

OK

 light turns off, 

then interrupt by turning the dial to the 

position.

4.  Empty the cup, wait until the 

OK

 light comes on again and 

then repeat the same operation.

(It is normal for a small and harmless puff of steam to be given 
off when removing the filter holder).

Mugs or glasses tray (some models only)

If you are using tall cups or glasses (for example, to make long 
coffee or macchiato),extract the drip tray and rest the cup di-
rectly on the mugs or glasses tray (A14 - fig. 11). 
Once you have made your coffee, put the drip tray back in 
position. 

HOW TO MAKE ESPRESSO COFFEE USING PRE-
GROUND COFFEE

1.  Place the ground coffee filter (C2 or C3) in the filter holder. 

Check that the removable perforated filter is correctly po-
sitioned: if not, place the perforated filter inside the filter 
and press as far as it goes. Use the   

 filter to make 

one coffee or the 

  filter to make two coffees.

2.  To make just one coffee, place one level measure of pre-

ground coffee (about 7 g) in the filter. (fig. 12). 

 

To make two coffees, place two loosely filled measures 
(about 6+6 g) of pre-ground coffee in the filter. 

 

Fill the filter a little at a time to prevent the pre-ground 
coffee from overflowing.

Important:  

For correct operation, before filling with pre-ground coffee, 

make sure there are no coffee residues left in the filter from the last time you made 
coffee.

3.   Distribute the pre-ground coffee evenly and press light-

ly with the presser (fig. 13).  Correct pressing of the pre-
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. Turn the handle firmly to-
wards the right (fig. 6) to avoid water leaking out.

5.   Place the cup or cups under the filter holder spouts (fig. 

14).  You are recommended to warm the cups before mak-
ing coffee by rinsing them with a little hot water.

6.  Make sure the 

OK

 light (fig. 8) is on (if off, wait until 

it comes on), then turn the mode selector dial to the 

 position.  When the desired amount of coffee 

has been delivered, turn the dial to the l position.

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

left.

 Danger of burns!

  To avoid splashes, never remove the filter holder while 

the appliance is delivering coffee.

8.  To turn the appliance off, press the ON/OFF button.

HOW TO PREPARE ESPRESSO COFFEE USING PODS

1.   Preheat the appliance as described in the section “Tips for 

a hotter coffee”, making sure the filter holder is attached. 
This obtains a hotter coffee.

Please note:  

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 pod coffee filter  (C4 

) in the filter holder.

3.  Insert the pod, centring it as far as possible on the filter 

(fig. 15). 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 turn as far 

as it will go (fig. 6).

5.  Proceed as in points 5, 6 and 7 in the previous section.

HOW TO PREPARE CAPPUCCINO COFFEE

1.  Prepare the espresso coffees as described in the previous 

sections, using sufficiently large cups.

2.  Turn the selector to the  

  position (fig. 16) and wait 

until the 

OK

 light comes on.

3.  In the meantime, fill a recipient with about 100 grams of 

milk for each cappuccino to be prepared. 

 

The milk must be at refrigerator temperature (not hot!). 

 

In choosing the size of the recipient, bear in mind that the 
milk doubles or triples in volume (fig. 17).

Please note:  

You are recommended to use semi-skimmed milk at 

refrigerator temperature.

4. 

ECP 3X.31

 only:

 Make sure the cappuccino maker selection 

ring (A10) is in the “CAPPUCCINO” position (fig. 18).

5.  Place the recipient containing the milk under the cappucci-

no maker.

6.  Wait until the OK light comes on. This indicates that 

the boiler has reached the ideal temperature for steam 
production.

7.  Open the steam by turning the steam selector to the 

 position for a few seconds to eliminate any water 

in the circuit. Close the steam.

8.  Immerse the cappuccino maker in the milk for about 5 mm 

(fig. 19) and turn the steam dial to the  

 position.
