Tips
To enjoy an aromatic espresso, note the following tips:
• Always preheat the cups on the hotplate (
13
).
• Rinse out the cups with hot water immediately before using them.
• Always
fi
ll the water tank (
2
) with fresh water. Do not use any water that has been in
the water tank for longer than 12 hours.
• After it has heated up,
fi
rst allow hot water to run through the sieve insert (
14
) and the
porta
fi
lter (
8
) before they are
fi
lled with espresso powder.
• Experiment with the amount of espresso powder to suit your own personal taste. As
a guideline, you can reckon on 7 g of espresso powder for a normal cup of espresso.
