With ground coffee
The type of coffee you choose will determine the strength and taste of your espresso: the
finer your ground coffee, the more intense your espresso will be.
Fill the water tank with tepid water and refit it on the appliance, making sure that it is
correctly in place.
Plug in your machine.
For the best result, we recommend preheating the accessories beforehand (filter holder,
filter and cups) by following the steps above, without adding coffee.
Turn on the appliance by pressing the On/Off button.
The "On" indicator light will switch on.
Add the ground coffee to the 1 cup filter using the measuring spoon
(K)
(1 spoon = 1
measure = 1 espresso)
(22-23)
then pack it using the tamper, turning it using a circular
motion
(K) (24)
. Once packed, the coffee measure should not exceed the MAX level
(25)
.
For best quality, pack the coffee effectively.
Clean off any excess coffee from around the filter holder.
Ensure that the selection button is set to the espresso position
(button not depressed)
(26)
.
Slot the filter holder into place then turn it to the right until it stops
(27)
.
The thumb wheel is set to function O. The espresso preheating indicator light flashes
which indicates that preheating is in progress. Once preheating has finished, the espresso
indicator light stays on
(28)
.
Place a cup under the filter holder and turn the thumb wheel to the left, to the espresso
position, and the coffee will start to flow
(29-30)
.
When the cup is filled, turn the thumb wheel to position O to stop the flow
(31)
.
Remove the cup(s).
Unlock the filter holder by turning it to the left
(32)
and remove it from the appliance. Do
not touch the filter as it will be hot.
To empty out the coffee, invert the filter holder while holding the filter with the flap so that
only the coffee falls away
(33)
.
Wash the filter and filter holder under running water to remove the rest of the coffee
(34)
.
To make 2 espressos, take the 2 cup filter
(F.2)
and add 2 measures of ground coffee.
To change the filter in the filter holder, ensure that the filter is positioned with the slot
facing the lever of the handle.
IMPORTANT / The coffee flow is stopped manually. Do not move away from the machine
when it is in use.
The steam will foam the coffee (for example, when making cappuccinos).
Plug in your machine.
Remove the water tank and fill it. The water level should not exceed the "MAX" mark on
the tank and should contain at least 300 ml. Then replace the water tank, ensuring that
the cover is closed.
Press the "On" button; the indicator light switches on.
Press the selection button to activate
the steam function (button depressed) (35)
.
The thumb wheel is set to function O. The steam preheating indicator light flashes which
indicates that preheating is in progress. Once preheating has finished, the steam indicator
light stays on
(36)
.
Place an empty receptacle or cup underneath the nozzle
(37)
.
Open the nozzle system by turning the thumb wheel to the right, to the steam preparation
function, to run the water through the system before the steam begins.
(D.3.3) (38)
.
Turn the thumb wheel to program O
(39)
.
To make a cappuccino, fill a container with approximately 60 to 100 ml of milk. For best
results, use a narrow and relatively small container that can be slipped under the steam
nozzle (G) (40). For best results, the milk and container should be very cold.
STEAM FUNCTION
Place the nozzle into the container of milk and turn the thumb wheel to the right, to the
steam position.
For best results, foam the milk near the bottom of the container for approximately 10
seconds, taking care not to touch the bottom. Then slowly tilt the container and move the
nozzle upwards until it is almost at the surface of the milk. Make sure that the nozzle does
not leave the milk. To get a great foam, move the container in circular motions.
To get the best foam, we recommend using pasteurised or UHT milk, and to avoid using
non-pasteurised or skimmed milk.
Once you have achieved the best foam, turn the thumb wheel to position O (41)
To prevent overheating the milk, do not use the steamer for more than 45 seconds (for
100 ml of milk).
You can start making an espresso by following the steps detailed above.
To prevent milk from drying inside the nozzle, please clean it after each use. To do this,
follow the steps for foaming the milk, replacing 100 ml of milk with 60 ml of water. To avoid
burning yourself, remove the nozzle from the foam (G.1) and wash it in clean water (42).
Clean the steam nozzle using a damp cloth (G) (43).
Remove the drip tray, empty it and clean it using clean water (44-45).
Refer to the next section for manual cleaning.
GOOD TO KNOW – PRACTISE AFTER USING STEAM
If you want to make an espresso after using the steam function, you need to cool down your
coffee machine because the water is too hot for optimum espresso preparation.
Follow the steps below:
Make sure the knob is on position O
Selection button on espresso position (button not depressed)
The red indicator light switches on indicating the coffee machine is too hot for
espresso preparation.
Immerse the steam nozzle completely in a container filled with 60ml of water
Turn the knob to the right (steam position) to release the hot water and steam
inside the boiler, to cool down the machine, until red light is off.
After around 10 to 20 seconds, you will see the red light switches off and the
espresso light switches on. That indicates the machine is cooled down to the
right temperature for espresso preparation.
Turn the knob to O position to stop the steam. If the red light is still on, repeat
the above steps.
Your coffee machine is now cooled down, you can make and enjoy your espresso !
