properly extracted, resulting in coffee with little crema.
- If necessary, add more ground coffee until the filter is full.
- Re-compress the ground coffee with the tamper.
- Wipe any coffee residue from the rim of the portafilter to ensure that it is securely
attached to the appliance head to prevent leakage.
- The pressing of ground coffee is a crucial part of the espresso preparation process.
- If pressed evenly and consistently, the espresso will be extracted slowly, and more crema
will be produced.
- If not pressed compactly, the espresso will be extracted more quickly, and less crema will
be formed.
6. Insert the portafilter into the machine head. Turn the portafilter handle slightly to the left
and then turn it to the right to the lock position. Fig. 3

Steam
- Steam has two main functions: to heat the milk and to incorporate air into it to froth it and
therefore obtain a thin layer of crema on the espresso surface.
- Just as learning how to make a good espresso is possible with dedication and practice,
making the perfect froth is an art that can be mastered.
To do so, follow the instructions below:
1. Determine the amount of milk needed based on the number of cups to be prepared.
Tip: please note that when the milk is frothed, its volume and density will increase considerably.
2. Fill a stainless steel jug 1/3 full with cold milk.
3. Activate the steam function by pressing the steam icon. The corresponding icon will stop
flashing and will remain steady when the preheating process is finished, and the appliance
is ready for use.
4. Before frothing milk, purge the steamer to remove any remaining condensed water. To do
this, first position the steamer so that it is positioned over the drip tray and, then, turn the
steam knob slowly to the ON position. Once the steamer has been purged, stop the water
outlet by turning the steam knob to the OFF position.
5. Move the steamer slightly to one side of the coffee machine so that it is easier to froth milk.
6. Insert the steamer through the side of the jug approximately 1 cm deep into the milk and, at
the same time, activate the steam function by turning the knob to the ON position.
7. Tilt the jug so that the steamer rests lightly on the rim of the jug and insert the steamer
until it is in contact with the milk. This will cause a layer of foam to form on the surface of
the milk.
NOTE: do not let the steamer come out unevenly, otherwise the milk will start to bubble and
will not froth properly. In case this happens, insert the steamer deeper into the milk.
8. As the steam heats and froths the milk, its volume will increase. When this happens, dip
