Prepare espresso
For a good espresso, in addition to the coffee variety and the degree of grinding of the coffee, the
contact pressure in the brewing filter is also crucial. Therefore, always make sure that the espresso
filter is clean and does not contain any powder residues.
WARNING: Scalding Hazard
If you remove the filter holder while dispensing coffee, hot water droplets will spray and water
vapor will escape from the espresso machine. You may scald yourself. After preparation, wait
for around 10 seconds before removing the filter holder.
1. Fold the locking bracket and the carrying handle of the water tank upwards and remove the water
tank upwards (refer to
Fig. 1
).
2. Fill fresh, cold and still water into the tank. Please note the maximum filing level MAX mark.
3. Reinsert the water tank and fold the locking bracket downwards. Ensure that the water tank audibly
locks in. It is recommendable to pre-heat the espresso machine prior to use. Refer to “Heating up
prior to use” section.
