filters that come with your unit depending on the amount
of cups you wish to prepare (1 or 2 demitasses). The
recommended recipe is to use the small 7 gram filter to
make a one-ounce shot of espresso. The large 14 gram filter
can be used for two one-ounce shots. These recipes can
be adjusted by adjusting the amount of water used in each
shot, less water for stronger espresso.
Inserting the filter:
a. To insert the selected filter in the
brew basket, make sure to align the
notch on the filter with the groove
inside the brew basket.
b. Turn the filter to the left or right to
lock in place. This will help secure
the filter in the brew basket.
NOTE:
To remove and clean the filter, turn filter to the left
or right to align the filter notch with the groove inside the
brew basket.
Filling with coffee:
Fill the selected filter with fresh, fine ground espresso
coffee. Clean any excess coffee from the rim of the filter
holder. This will assure proper fit under the brew head.
ATTENTION: Tamp or compress coffee using the tamper
as show below. Do not overfill the filter. This might cause
clogging or overflow.
Placing the brew basket:
Position brew basket underneath the brew head, attach
brew basket by first moving retainer clip back, position
handle so that the handle lines up with the unlocked icon
“ ” on the brew head and fits into the groove. Then,
slowly turn the handle to the right until it lines up with the
locked position (indicated by the icon below).
