FIRST USE MAKING ESPRESSO
IMPORTANT!
If the espresso function is used for the first time, the appliance must be
cleaned as described in the "FIRST USE" paragraph.
IMPORTANT! To prevent splashes of hot water, check that the portafilter
has been tightened until it stops before preparing the coffee. Do not
remove the portafilter while the water is flowing, as the appliance is still
under pressure.
A. With ground coffee
The type of coffee you choose will determine the strength and taste of your espresso:
the finer your ground coffee, the more intense your espresso will be.
To prepare your coffee, please refer to the first 4 steps in the FIRST USE – Rinsing the
espresso system section and then follow the instructions below.
1. Choose your filter: 1-cup or 2-cups (23) and insert it in the portafilter.
2. Add the ground coffee to the filter using the measuring spoon (1 spoon =
1 measure = 1-cup espresso / 2 spoons = 2 measures = 2-cup espressos) (24)
then tamp it using the tamper (25). Clean off any excess coffee from around the
portafilter.
3. The coffee indicator light stops blinking and stays on (12). Your machine is ready.
The knob is set to function •.
TIPS:
- For the best result, we recommend preheating the accessories beforehand
(portafilter, filter and cups) by pouring hot water inside.
- For the best result, we recommend preheating the brewing head. Place a
container under the brewing head (26). Turn the knob to the left (13), to espresso
preparation, for 10 seconds in order to heat your brewing head and make sure
your first espresso is at the right temperature (27). Then turn the knob to position
• to stop water (15).
4. Slot the portafilter into place then turn it to the right until it stops (10).
5. Place a cup or two under the portafilter (28), turn the knob to the left, to the
espresso position (13), and the coffee will start to flow (29).
IMPORTANT / The coffee flow is stopped manually. Do not move away from the machine
when it is in use.
6. When the cup(s) is filled, turn the knob to position • to stop the flow (15)
7. Remove the cup(s).
8. Unlock the portafilter by turning it to the left and remove it from the appliance
(8). Do not touch the filter as it will be hot.
9. To empty out the coffee, invert the portafilter while holding the filter with the
hook so that only the coffee falls away (30).
10. Wash the filter and portafilter under running water to remove the rest of the
coffee (31).
