• Add more espresso powder, if necessary, so that the brewing filter is filled up to the MAX mark.
• Compress the espresso powder with the tamper again.
• Clean any excess coffee from the rim to ensure proper fit under brew head and avoid leaks.
The compressing of the espresso powder is an important process for espresso preparation.
• If the espresso power is compressed very tightly, the espresso will run through slowly and there will
be more crema.
• If the espresso power is not compressed very tightly, the espresso will run through more quickly and
there will be less crema.
• Insert the filter holder into the espresso machine from underneath. For this, the lever must be angled
towards the left (refer to
Fig. 2

forwards at a 90° angle as shown on Fig 2.
