Instructions (Cont.)
Preheating
To ensure you can enjoy your coffee at an optimum temperature, we recommend
preheating the cups, porta filter and filters you are going to use.
• Plug in the appliance and press the ON/OFF button to switch it on. The blue
HEATING indicator light will illuminate.
• Select the appropriate filter and insert it into the porta filter. (The shallow filter
is for 1 cup espresso, the deep filter is for 2 cups, or for a double shot.)
• Fit the porta filter to the appliance as described on page 10.
• Place one or two cups underneath the espresso outlets.
NOTE:
If you find that lighter cups move slightly during brewing, place the
supplied silicone mat on the drip tray drainer to increase skid resistance.
• Turn the function dial to the
symbol.
• As soon as the operating temperature has been reached, the HEATING
indicator light will turn off and hot water will start flowing from the outlets.
• When the cup(s) are approximately 3/4 full with water, turn the function dial to
its neutral position to switch off the pump and stop the water flow.
• Put the cup(s) aside to warm up. Pour out the water just before brewing.
Alternatively, place your cups on the cup warming area on top to preheat them.
Adding ground coffee
• Holding the preheated porta filter by the handle, remove it from the appliance.
• Add an appropriate amount of ground coffee to the filter: 1 cup = 1 level
measuring spoon, 2 cups = 2 level measuring spoons.
• Do not overfill the filter, otherwise the porta filter will not lock properly in place.
The deep filter holds a maximum of 2 measuring spoonfuls of ground coffee.
• Use the supplied measuring spoon to distribute the ground coffee evenly and
press it down lightly with the tamp at the other end of the spoon (Fig.7). With
your fingertip, remove any excess coffee from the rim of the porta filter.
CAUTION!
The porta filter is hot after
preheating and during use!
Handle it with utmost care.
Only hold the porta filter by its
cool touch handle, and take
particular care when adding
coffee and wiping the rim.
