PREPARING ESPRESSO COFFEE

Espresso is a strong coffee, with a characteristic taste, extremely rich in aroma. Therefore, the
water, which arrives in the filter with a high temperature, is pushed very fast through the coffee
mass by a strong pressure. It extracts the nectar from the grinding and draws the essential
aromas from the coffee. That's why the espresso is usually served in small "espresso" cups.
Use preferably a special espresso coffee with suitable roasting and grinding.
Remember that the espresso needs a finer grinding than the standard coffee.
Filter and filter holder for ground coffee
 Put the filter-locking ring (15) around the filter for ground coffee (14) and then put this filter
into the classic filter holder (13). The locking ring makes it possible to hold the filter when
throwing away the used ground coffee.
 Fill the filter (14) with special espresso coffee powder. The amount of powder depends on
your own taste and the numbers of cups you want to make (the recommended dose is
one measuring spoon (21) per cup). Generally it is recommended to press the coffee with
the tamper.
 Fix the filter holder (13) into the appliance. Therefore you should turn the handle to the left.
Then put the filter holder into the connection hole of the filter holder (11) and turn it firmly
to the right until it is locked in place. The filter holder (13) should be put as far as possible to
the right side of the locking zone and it should be situated at least in the middle of the
appliance. This will prevent the filter holder from loosing during the pressure increase, when
the coffee is percolating.
If the filter holder is not locked into the locking zone and if it is not at least situated in the
middle of the appliance, do not switch on the appliance, but take the filter holder out of
the espresso machine and try to put it into the right position again (as mentioned above).
