suitable drawer taking care not to damage the filter rim.

gasket.

* To obtain good coffe e, the grinding is extremely import a n t . It should take 25-30
seconds to make the coffee.
* If the coffee is too coarse you will obtain light coffee with very little white crema, if it
is too fine you will obtain dark coffee with no crema.
* A good quality coffee is obtained by using freshly ground coffee of even coarseness
(which can be obtained only if the grinder has sharp mills) used in the right quantity
(approximately 6/7 grams per dose).
* It is important to use freshly ground coffe e, because once it has been ground it quick l y
loses its aroma, and the fat substances it contains go off. It is therefore advisable to try
and finish it by the eve n i n g .
* Properly warm cups are extremely important in obtaining creamy coffee.
CAPPUCCINO, MILK AND OTHER HOT DRINKS
Dip the spout connected to the steam tap into the drink to be heated, then turn the
suitable knob to deliver steam to the spout.
The steam gurgles in the liquid releasing heat, bringing it to the boiling temperature.
To whip up milk in order to make cappuccino, use a tall and narrow container filled in
h a l f, acting as fo l l ow s :
A) Place the container underneath the steam spout so that the wand nozzle touches
the bottom, turn the steam tap on and bring the milk nearly to the boil.
B) Lower the container so that the wand nozzle is near the surface of the milk, then
move the container up and down so the wand nozzle gets in and out of the milk.
Perform this operation several times until the milk has frothed.
To make cappuccino add the hot and frothy milk to the hot coffee.
