brew one cup of espresso and 25–35
seconds for two cups.
Keep an eye on the manometer (13)!
If a value between 9 and 12 bar is dis-
played, the degree of grinding and the
amount of ground powder were just

degree of grinding the next time.
If the pressure was too high, select a
coarser degree of grinding.

clean the filter insert and portafilter.

the next espresso.
