Preheating the coffee unit
To make espresso coffee at the right temperature, the coffee
maker should be preheated as follows:
1. Turn the appliance on by pressing the on/off button (the
on light comes on) (fig. 4) and attach the filter holder to
the appliance without adding pre-ground coffee (fig. 5).
2. Place a cup under the filter holder (fig. 11).
use the cup you will later use to make the coffee in order
to preheat it.
3. Wait for the ok light to come on (fig. 6), then immediately
press the coffee button (fig. 7). Allow the water to flow
out until the ok light goes off, then interrupt delivery by
pressing the coffee button (fig. 7) again.
4. empty the cup. Wait until the ok light comes on again then
repeat the same operation. If you hear a loud buzzing
noise, please refer to the Troubleshooting section.
(It is normal for a small and harmless puff of steam to be given
off when removing the filter holder).
How to prepare espresso coffee using pre-ground
coffee
1. After preheating the appliance as described in the
previous paragraph, place the pre-ground coffee filter in
the filter holder. use the
filter (B1) to make one
coffee or the
filter (B2) 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. 9). To prepare
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 lightly
with the tamper (fig. 10).
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 crema will be dark. If
pressing is too light, coffee delivery will be too rapid and
the crema will be thin and light coloured.
4. remove any excess coffee from the rim of the filter holder
and attach to the appliance. rotate the handle firmly
towards the right (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 cup shelf on top of the
appliance for at least 15-20 minutes (fig. 12).
6. make sure the ok light (fig. 6) is on (if off, wait until it
comes on), then press the coffee button (fig. 7). once the
required amount of coffee has been delivered, interrupt
delivery by pressing the same button (fig. 7). (you should
not deliver coffee for more than 45 seconds).
7. To remove the filter holder, rotate 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 dispose of the used coffee, block the filter in place, then
empty the coffee by turning the filter holder upside down
and tapping (fig. 13).
9. To turn the coffee maker off, press the on/off button (fig.
4).
How to prepare espresso coffee using pods
1. Preheat the appliance as described in the section
“Preheating the coffee unit”, making sure the filter holder
is attached. This results in 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 (B3
) in the filter holder
(fig. 14).
3. Insert a pod, centring it as far as possible on the filter.
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 section.
How to make cappuccino coffee
1. Prepare the espresso coffees as described in the previous
paragraphs, using sufficiently large cups.
2. Press the steam button (fig. 15).
3. In the meantime, fill a carafe with about 100 g of milk
for each cappuccino to be prepared. The milk must be at
refrigerator temperature (not hot!). In choosing the size
