3. Adding espresso grounds
(figures 3, 4)
0
Take the filter holder, fold back the fin-
ger protector and place the 1-cup filter
or the 2-cup filter into the filter holder
(figure 3).
3
Only EEA 130:
When using prepacked
portions, insert the filter for prepacked
portions (figure 1/M and figure 5).
0
Fill the filter with espresso grounds.
Use:
1 full measuring spoon for the 1-cup
filter, 2 full measuring spoons for the
2-cup filter.
0
Lightly
press the espresso grounds into
the filter (figure 4) using the ground
coffee presser (figure 1/J). Ensure that
after pressing the coffee, the filter is
still filled to the rim with espresso
grounds. Clean any espresso grounds
away from the rim of the filter.
3
Do not press the espresso grounds too
firmly into the filter. In such an event
the flow of water through the coffee
can decrease significantly. (See also
“What to do if…”)
3
If you grind espresso grounds yourself,
choose the “middle” fineness level.
4. Screwing on the filter holder
(Figures 6, 7)
0
Position the filter holder in the filter
retainer such that the handle of the
filter holder is located below the left
white triangle (figure 6,“1“).
0
Twist the filter holder to the right as
far as it will go (figure 6,“2“), so that
the handle is pointing forwards and is
located beneath the white line
between the two points (figure 7,“3“).
5. Placing cup(s) underneath
(Figure 8)
0
Place one or two cups under the open-
ings in the filter holder (figure 8).
6. Brewing an espresso
3
The appliance must have attained its
operating temperature (green light
figure 1/C is on).
0
Turn the selector dial (figure 1/E) to
the symbol
. The water will now be
forced through the espresso grounds
under high pressure.
3
Prior to the actual brewing process, the
ground coffee is moistened to extract
its full aroma. The brewing process is
then continued.
0
When the desired amount of espresso
has been brewed, turn the selector dial
left again to the “•” position.
3
Each time after making an espresso or
after using steam when the selector
dial is turned to the “•” position, any
remaining water is directed to the drip
tray. Each additional cup is brewed
using fresh water. This is how to obtain
the total enjoyment out of espresso.
This is why the drip tray must be emp-
tied regularly.
7. Removing the filter holder
(Figure 9)
0
Twist the filter holder to the left and
out of the retainer.
0
Fold the finger protector forwards and
hold it down. Tap the used espresso
grounds out of the filter holder and
out of the filter (figure 9).
0
Rinse the filter holder and the filter
with warm water. Do
not
clean the fil-
ter holder in the dishwasher!
3
If the appliance is not going to be used
for a longer period of time, do not
screw the filter holder back in. This will
increase the life of the seal located on
the brew head.
