As an approximate guide, one spoonful
is sufficient for a single Espresso, two for
a double. The strength of the Espresso
depends upon how tightly the ground
coffee is compacted in the coffee
container. If it takes more than just a
few minutes for the coffee brew to flow
into the cups, then the ground coffee
has either been ground too finely, or has
been compacted too tightly in the Coffee
Container

Using pods
Your coffee maker can make Espresso
using 44mm paper Espresso pods,
available from all good stores. These
provide an exact dose of correctly
ground coffee, pre-weighed and pressed
between two layers of filtering paper.
The method of use is very similar
to that for ground coffee, so the
instructions are summarised below, with
only the differences described in detail.
• Fill the Water Tank

to the MAX
level .
• Remove the pod from its wrapping
and place in the receptacle in the
centre of the Pod Holder

into the
bayonet housing

, as described in
detail under “Before first use”.
• Place a cup on the centre of the Drip
Tray
