PREPARING COFFEE

1. Place the single filter, double filter or pad filter (for espresso pads) in the portafil-
ter and press firmly. The filters are marked on the back (single filter
filter , pad
The filter must be firmly set in the portafilter. The edge of the filter must rest firmly on
the rim of the portafilter.
The flatter single filter is for 1 cup (1 spoon of espresso powder), the slightly deeper
double-filter (2 spoons of espresso powder) is for 2 cups of espresso. If you want to
brew some more espresso (example: for a mug), than always use the double-filter.
Filter with the double-filter maximum of 60 ml espresso. If you want larger quantities,
then fill hot water into the cup and then filter the espresso into it.
If you want to brew a single cup of espresso, then use the single filter to get the best
flavor. Filter only about 30 ml.
2. Fill the measuring spoon level with espresso powder. For the single filter use 1-2
spoons of coffee powder - for the double-filter use 2-3 spoons of coffee powder.
Always use the right amount of powder for the two filters, since the pores of the
filter have exactly the right size to reach the correct pressure with the predeter-
mined amount of powder (see: ›Information on coffee powder‹).

TAMPING THE ESPRESSO

1. Distribute the ground coffee evenly in the filter and press the espresso powder
with the flat bottom of the spoon (tamper) evenly but not too tightly
(see: ›Useful tips‹).
2. Clean off thoroughly any spilled espresso powder on the edge of the
filter. The edge must be very clean so that the filter can be closed pres-
sure-tight to the grouphead.

USING ESPRESSO PADS

If you want to use espresso pads, insert an appropriate espresso pad into the provi-
ded filter. The filter for the pads is marked on the bottom with
pod. Always use only one pad for the preparation of espresso.
Important: Use only espresso pads for brewing espresso, off-
the-shelf coffee pads are too large, and thus not suitable for the filter insert.
