6.2 Preparing coffee

Use the portafilter with 1 spout and the corresponding filter (1 cup) for the preparation of 1 cup.
Use the portafilter with 2 spouts and the big filter (2 cups) for the preparation of 2 cups.
1 For espresso, i.e. Café Crème, fill the finely ground coffee into the corresponding filter. (The marking
inside the filter can help you find the right amount of coffee.
Please make sure that the filter is inserted firmly into the portafilter.
2 Evenly compress the ground coffee with a tamper.
3 Clamp the portafilter firmly into the brew group.
4 Place the cup under the spout of the portafilter. (For the preparation of 2 cups, put 1 cup under each
spout.)
5 Press the button with the programmed dose of coffee you would like to brew. As soon as the
programmed dose is reached, the brewing stops automatically and the remaining water is released into
the drip tray.
Remaining pressure / water is released through the lower portion of the brew group.
• Only freshly ground coffee allows for an optimal coffee result. Therefore, use a
professional coffee grinder. In our assortment you will find several professional coffee
grinders.
• 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.
2 By opening the hot water lever you can dispense water.
3 Close the hot water lever.
Caution!
Place the nozzle of the dispenser into the water container in order to avoid injuries due to hot
water sprayings.
The hot water valve also allows the draining of the boiler. To do this, the machine should be switched off, but
still heated.
Attention!
If the machine is set to position 2 and begins heating before the boiler has been filled, the
heating element may become damaged and need replacing.

6.4 Dispensing of steam

6.4.1 Dispensing of steam in general

The Compact HX-2 makes it possible to generate large amounts of steam in order to heat or froth beverages,
e. g. milk or punch. It is a professional espresso coffee machine with an enormous steam volume. Therfore,
within a few seconds you can prepare milk froth. Please pay attention to the instructions below. Do not bring
the milk to a boil, otherwise frothing milk will not be possible.
1 Important: In order to get the best result when frothing milk, open the steam lever for approx. 2 - 3
seconds to release the condensation water in the pipe and to release dry steam.
2 Immerse the steam nozzle (at the end of the steam dispenser) into the liquid.
3 Re-open the steam handle.
4 Heat and/or froth the liquid.
5 After frothing or heating, release the steam into the drip tray to keep the holes of the steam nozzle clean.
Risk of injury
Always keep the steam nozzle underneath the surface of the liquid while heating or frothing
in order to avoid being sprayed.
