PREPARING ESPRESSO WITH GROUND COFFEE
1. Place the filter in the filter holder. Select from the two 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 30 mL (1 oz.)
shot of espresso. The large 14 gram filter can be used for two 30 mL (1 oz.)
shots. These recipes can be adjusted by adjusting the amount of water used in
each shot. For a stronger espresso, use less water. To insert the filter:
a. To insert the selected filter in the filter holder, make sure to align the notch on
the filter with the groove inside the filter holder.
b. Turn the filter to the left or right to lock in place. This will help secure the filter
in the filter holder.
NOTE:
To remove and clean the filter, turn filter to the left or right to align the filter
notch with the groove inside the filter holder.
WARNING:
Make sure the filter holder has cooled before attempting to remove the filter.
2. 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.
