USE OF THE MACHINE

6.1 Preparation of the machine

The switched off machine is to be placed into operation as follows:
1 Fill water into the water tank.
2 Turn the machine on (power switch in upper position).
3 Wait until the pressure gauge indicates approx. 1.0-1.25 bar.
4 Depending on the ambient temperature, the heat-up phase is approx. 15 minutes.
5 The machine is now ready for use.
6 Insert the filter holder and move the brew group lever into the upper position. Release some hot water.
This way the filter holder will be completely heated.
It is recommended to leave the filter holder in the brew group, keeping it warm for optimum
coffee dispension temperature.

6.2 Preparing coffee

Use the filter holder with 1 spout and the correspondent filter (1 cup) for the preparation
of 1 cup. Use the filter holder with 2 spouts and the big filter (2 cups) for the preparation of 2 cups. Make
sure that the filter is firmly locked into the filter holder.
Fill the ground coffee into the filter (approx. 7 g) into the 1 cup-filter holder and approx. 14 g into the 2 cups-
filter holder). Compress the ground coffee with the tamper. Clamp the filter holder firmly into the brew group.
Place the cup under the spout of the filter holder (for the preparation of 2 cups, put 1 cup under each spout).
Move the brew group lever into the upper position. When the cup is filled, move the brew group lever into the
lower position.
The remaining pressure/water will be discharged into the drip tray by the lower part of the infusion cylinder.
The pump pressure can be read on the pump pressure gauge. If the coffee powder is too course, a brewing
pressure over 9 bar is not possible.
Advice: After the brewing process, the gauge will still indicate a certain amount of pressure. Only when
preparing another cup of coffee the buildup of pressure is visible again.
If the brew group lever is not moved into the lower position properly, hot water and grounds can squirt out of the
group while taking out the filter holder. This may cause injuries.
• Only freshly ground coffee allows for an optimal coffee result. Therefore, use a
professional coffee grinder.
• We recommend to use a stainless steel tamper with a diameter of 58 mm for optimum
tamping.
6.3 Dispensing of hot water
1 Place an adequate water container (with a heat-insulated handle) under the hot water dispenser. After
having moved the power switch into the lower position, you can dispense water (e. g. for tea) by opening
the hot water lever.
2 After dispensing water, switch the machine on again. The boiler will be filled with fresh water
automatically.
When the machine is switched off, more hot water can be dispensed.
However, one does not necessarily have to switch off the machine for dispensing hot water.
Caution!
Place the nozzle of the dispenser into the water container in order to avoid injuries due to hot
water spraying.
