Simply take the water tank out for filling and cleaning. The valve at the bottom of
the water tank will open and close automatically. Thus, no water will run out when
removing and re-inserting the water tank.
Provides the required pressure for the espresso extraction and for texturing milk.
Due to the 2 spouts of the portafilter, 2 cups can be filled simultaneously.
•
Filling 2 cups: place 1 cup under each spout.
•
Filling 1 cup: simply centre your cup under the portafilter.
The appliance comes with various filter baskets for different applications.
•
1 cup filter basket for approx. 30 ml espresso (single) or mild coffee.
•
2 cups filter basket for a double shot or strong coffee.
•
POD filter basket for coffee pads.
Before starting the extraction, the group head moistens the coffee powder under
reduced pressure. This will prepare the coffee powder for getting the full flavour
during extraction.
You start the extraction via the espresso buttons for 1 cup or 2 cups. As soon as
the pre-programmed amount is given off, operation is stopped automatically
You can change the pre-programmed volumes of single or double espresso extrac-
tions, adapting these settings to your liking. The appliance keeps your new settings
in memory—even after any cut-out of the power supply. There is no need to keep
the appliance life.
TIP: With elongated extraction times, increasing amounts of bitter components of
the coffee powder will be extracted. Therefore, it is better to select an extraction
volume that will lead to an extraction time below 40 seconds. If required, use the
hot water function for getting the desired volume (see: 'Operation / Hot Water').
