ENGLISH
7. Put an empty cup under the filter holder and press the single or double cup button to
start preparing coffee.
8. Once the preparation process is complete, empty the water from the tank. The espresso
machine is now ready for use.
Coffee brewing
1. Remove the filter holder and fill the filter with ground coffee using the pressing powder
spoon supplied with the espresso machine.
RECOMMENDATION: 7-9 g for a single cup and 13-15 g for a double cup. The amount may vary
depending on your preferences and the type of coffee you have used.
2. Compress the coffee with the pressing powder spoon. The ground coffee must be
pressed evenly to obtain a well levelled and smooth surface. Clean any coffee residue
from the edge of the filter holder.
3. Insert the filter holder into the upper part of the espresso machine by making a 45°
movement to the left and turn it back to the right until it clicks into position. The filter
holder must be perpendicular to the machine or slightly inclined to the right.
Preparing espresso coffee
1. Make sure the steam regulator knob is in the Off position.
2. Place the preheated cup(s) under the filter holder.
3. Press the single or double cup button to set the desired amount.
The taste of the coffee will depend on different factors, such as the type of coffee bean, the
degree of roast, the freshness, the coarseness or fineness of the grind, the amount of ground
coffee and the tamping pressure. Try adjusting these factors one at a time until you get the
taste you want.
Frothing milk
To prepare a classic cappuccino or latte, we recommend:
- using fresh, cold whole milk. The density of the frothed milk will depend on the
percentage of milk fat.
- using stainless steel milk jugs, circular, rounded, narrower at the top, with a spout, to
decorate the cappuccino with the froth.
Before starting, it is important to move the steamer slightly outwards to place the jug directly
underneath it to facilitate the movements necessary to froth the milk properly.
