8. HOW TO MAKE ESPRESSO COFFEE
8.1 Tips for a hotter coffee
For hotter espresso coffee, you should:
• You are recommended to warm the cups before making
coffee by rinsing them with a little hot water.
• Attach the filter holder to the appliance with the filter in
place but
without adding coffee
.
Using the same cup
as will later be used to make the coffee, press the 1 cup
button and deliver hot water into the cup to heat it.
• Raise the coffee temperature in the settings menu.
• Rest the cups you will be using on the cup warmer (
A4
)
which becomes hot during operation.
8.2 How to prepare espresso coffee using pre-
ground coffee
1. Place the ground coffee filter (
C2
or
C3
) in the filter holder
(fig. 6). To make one coffee, use the filter with the
symbol on the bottom, to make two coffees, use the filter
with the
symbol on the bottom.
2. To make just one coffee, place one level measure of pre-
ground coffee (about 7 g) in the filter (fig. 7). To make two
coffees, place two loosely filled measures (about 7+7 g) of
pre-ground coffee in the filter. Fill the filter a little at a time
to prevent the pre-ground coffee from overflowing.
Important:
For correct operation, before filling with pre-ground coffee,
make sure there are no coffee residues left in the filter from the
last time you made coffee.
3. Distribute the pre-ground coffee evenly and press lightly
with the presser (fig. 8).
Correct pressing of the pre-ground coffee is essential to
obtain a good espresso. If you press too firmly, the coffee
will be delivered slowly and will be strong. If you press
too lightly, the coffee will be delivered quickly and will be
weak.
4. Remove any excess coffee from the rim of the filter holder
and attach the filter holder to the appliance. To attach cor-
rectly, align the filter holder handle with the INSERT sym-
bol (fig. 9), attach the filter holder and rotate the handle
towards the right until aligned with the CLOSE symbol.
5. Place the cup or cups under the filter holder spouts (fig.
10).
6. Make sure the lights corresponding to the coffee buttons
are on, then press the
or
coffee button. The
appliance proceeds to make the coffee and delivery is in-
terrupted automatically.
7. To remove the filter holder, turn the handle from right to
left.
Danger of burns!
To avoid splashes, never remove the filter holder while the
appliance is delivering coffee. Always wait for a few seconds
after delivery.
8.3 How to make espresso coffee using pods
Please note:
Use pods conforming to the ESE standard, indicated on the pack
by the following symbol.
The ESE standard is a system accepted by lead-
ing pod producers and enables espresso coffee
to be prepared simply and cleanly.
1. Place the filter for coffee pods (with the
symbol on
the bottom) in the filter holder.
2. Insert the pod, centring it as far as possible on the filter
(fig. 11). Always follow the instructions on the pod pack to
position the pod on the filter correctly.
Proceed as described in points 4 to 6 in the previous section.
Please note:
• While the appliance is making coffee, delivery can be in-
terrupted at any moment by pressing the coffee button
pressed previously.
• At the end of delivery (within 3 seconds), to increase the
amount of coffee in the cup, press and hold the coffee but-
