PREPARING THE COFFEE
PREPARING THE COFFEE
1
Place the filter in the filter holder. Select
from the two filters that come with your
unit depending on the amount of cups
you wish to prepare (1 or 2 demitasses).
The recommended recipe is to use the
small 7 gram filter to make a one-ounce
shot of espresso. The large 14 gram filter
can be used for two one-ounce shots.
These recipes can be adjusted by adjusting
the amount of water used in each shot,
less water for stronger espresso.
2
Fill the selected filter with fresh, fine
ground espresso coffee. Clean any excess
coffee from the rim of the filter holder.
This will assure proper fit under the
brew head.
attEntion:
Tamp or compress coffee using
the tamper as show below. Do not overfill the
filter. This might cause clogging or overflow.

grounds and finish with a quarter

head, attach filter holder by first moving
retainer clip back, position handle so that

1
Make sure the drip grid is in place on the
drip tray. Place the drip tray in the unit.
2
Make sure the control knob is in the OFF
position.
3
Place the cup or two cups (demitasses)
under the filter holder or if you prefer,
place a small jar or carafe. If you wish to
prepare up to 4 cups at a time, you should
use a small jar, carafe or regular cup and
then pour the espresso into the
demitasses. If you will be brewing up to
two demitasses at a time, you can place
the two small cups under the filter holder
ensuring each one of them is directly
under one of the two outlet spouts
located under the filter holder.

Plug the power cord into an electrical
outlet and then switch the unit on by
pressing the center control knob. The
power indicator light in the center of the
control knob will become solid while the
unit is on.
5
Press the brew mode function button. The
brew mode light will come on and the light
ring may pulse during the pre-heat and
until it reaches the proper temperature.
6
Once the light becomes solid, rotate
the control knob to the left, counter
clockwise, to the brew position. This will
initiate the brewing process and espresso
will begin to flow in just seconds.
