faucet (Figure 2). If you have removed it from the unit, make sure to place it back tightly
into position. Fill the reservoir with the desired amount of water ensuring it ranges
within the “MIN” and “MAX” markings on the reservoir. Never use warm or hot water
to fill the water reservoir.

6. Place the demitasse(s) on the cup warmer on top of the unit to heat.
7. Slide the filter release button backwards (Figure 3) and place the desired filter in the
portafilter. Once in place, release the button to lock the filter in place (Figure 4). To
ensure the filter is securely in place, turn the portafilter upside down.
8. Fill the selected filter with fine ground espresso or an espresso pod. Clean any excess
espresso grounds from the rim of the portafilter as this will ensure the portafilter fits
properly into the PortaSlide System. Tamp or compress espresso grounds using the
tamper as shown below (Figure 5). Do not overfill past the max fill line as this might
cause clogging or overflow.
9. Slide the portafilter into the PortaSlide System until it fits tightly into place and is flush
with the unit (Figure 6).
