. WITH GROUND COFFEE
For best results, we recommend that
you first
pre-heat the accessories
(filter holder, filters
and cups)
without putting in ground
coffee
. To do this:
• Fill the water container with fresh, cold
water
(1) (2) (3)
and turn on the machine
(4)
.
• Put the filter holder and an empty filter in
place
(6) (7)
, and place the espresso cups
underneath.
• As soon as the coffee selection buttons
begin to glow continuously, the machine is
ready to operate.
• Choose the 1 or 2 cup mode, by pressing
, or
(9) (10)
once or twice on the
espresso selection button (O). Take the pre-
brewing into account.
• The cups will fill with hot water. Once filled,
empty them.
After making your first espresso and the
machine is warmed, the espresso cups can
then be pre-heated on the cup warming plate.
. Preparing an espresso:
• Fill the water container
(1) (2) (3)
and turn
on the machine
(4)
.
• Put the filter for one or two cups into the
filter holder
(5)
.
• Place some ground coffee in the filter (1 or 2
measuring scoops), and then tamp it down
firmly; the coffee should reach the lip of the
filter
(11) (12)
.
• Remove any ground coffee which is lying
around the filter
(13)
.
• Replace the filter holder into the machine.
Turn the filter holder until it is firmly locked
into place
(6) (7)
.
• Place one or two espresso cups beneath the
filter holder’s coffee outlets.
As soon as the coffee selection buttons begin
to glow continuously, the machine is ready to
operate.
Your machine is already preprogrammed for
the preparation of one or two cups of
espresso.
• Select the desired coffee quantity by
pressing the button (O) once
or
twice
(9) (10)
. Take the pre-brewing into
account.
• When the programmed quantity is reached,
espresso stops running automatically (see
programming your machine).
• Remove the filter holder and the filter from
the machine and take out the coffee
grounds
(14)
.
The filter can be refilled to make more
espressos.
Caution: if the water container is empty
and the pump is running, you will hear a
very distinct noise, which is louder than
the normal operating sound. If this
happens, press the start/stop switch (4).
Check the water container and refill as
needed.
Never let the machine run when the
water container is empty as this can
damage the pump.
. USING THE SPECIAL “ E.S.E. “ FILTER
The E.S.E. system was designed for making
Italian-style “espresso ristreto” (squeezed).
The amount of coffee is 35 ml and the water
should take 20 seconds to run through.
“ESE”, which stands for “Easy Serving
Espresso”, is a selected measure of coffee,
ground and pressed between two filter papers
making it ready for use. This system makes it
easy for you to prepare your espresso because
you avoid the measurement and tamping
down operations and it also makes it easier
for you to clean the appliance.
We do not intend, or recommend, that
the E.S.E. servings be used for making
more then one single serving or a “long
espresso”.
We recommend that you take care when
handling and storing the E.S.E. pre-portioned
pods so that they do not become deformed.
For best results, we recommend that you pre-
heat the accessories (filter holder, filter basket
and cups) without any coffee. To do this, see
section entitled “Espresso Making” above.
. Preparing an espresso:
• Fill the water tank
(1) (2) (3)
and turn on the
machine
(4)
.
Positioning the E.S.E. pod (18).
Tear excess paper from pod at perforated
edge. Place the E.S.E. pod with the RED
MARKING FACE DOWN (bend the paper
corners down) in the E.S.E. filter holder fitted
with its own filter.
