Picture C
).
2. Tap out the porta

Tips
To enjoy an aromatic espresso or coffee, please note the following tips:
•
Always preheat the cups on the hotplate (
1
).
•
Rinse out the cups with hot water immediately before using them.
•
Always
fi
ll the water tank (
h
) with fresh water. Do not use any water that has been in the
water tank for longer than 12 hours.
•
After the device has heated up,
fi
rst allow hot water to run through the sieve insert (
b / c
)
and the porta
fi
lter
(
d
) before you
fi
ll them with espresso / coffee powder.
•
Experiment with the amount of espresso / coffee powder to suit your own personal taste.
As a guideline, you can reckon on 7 g of espresso / coffee powder for a normal cup of
espresso or coffee.
•
If possible, always use freshly ground espresso / coffee powder to achieve an optimum
fl
avour.
•
The grinding
fi
neness of the espresso / coffee powder also has an in
fl
uence on the aroma
and the crema. Here too you can experiment with different grinding
fi
nenesses.
•
Do not press down the espresso / coffee powder in the sieve insert too
fi
rmly. If the
espresso / coffee powder is pressed too much, this may increase the processing time, thus
producing increased levels of bitter compounds.
•
A higher temperature is required to make milk froth than to brew an espresso. Our recom-
mendation:
fi
rst prepare the espresso and place it down on the hotplate, and then froth up
the milk.
•
If you do want to make an espresso after frothing the milk, the machine needs to cool down
fi
rst. You can speed up this process by cleaning the steam nozzle (
6
) as the water which
emerges will also cool down the heating and the pipes (see the “Cleaning and Care” chapter –
“Cleaning the Steam Nozzle”).
