Pre-heating the cups and the fi lter sieve holder:
The cup-warming top facilitates pre-heating the cups.
For a perfect coffee result, we recommend pre-heating the
cups and the sieve holder.
∙ Insert the appropriate fi lter sieve into the sieve holder.
∙ Fit the sieve holder on to the appliance and place one or two
cups underneath the holder.
∙ As soon as the operating temperature has been reached,
the temperature indicator light shows steady.
∙ Turn the rotary control to the
∙ Let the cup(s) fi ll up to the desired level, and then turn the
rotary control back to its neutral position ( ).
∙ Put the cup(s) aside to warm up and pour out the water just
prior to preparing the beverage of your choice.
Filling the fi lter sieve with ground espresso coffee /
removing the espresso grounds
∙ Filling with ground espresso coffee:
∙ Remove the pre-heated sieve holder and sieve. (Caution:
very hot). Pour out any residual water.
∙ Fill with fi nely ground espresso coffee:
∙ 1 cup = around 1 measuring scoop
∙ 2 cups = around 2 measuring scoops
∙ Fill the selected fi lter sieve up to its rim with ground
espresso and use the underside of the scoop to press it
down lightly.
∙ Any excess coffee powder on the rim must be removed.
∙ Removing the used grounds:
∙ After the brewing cycle is complete, wait approximately 30
seconds until the operating pressure has been suffi ciently
reduced.
∙ Exercise caution when removing the sieve holder: it may
still contain some hot water. Pour out the water carefully.
∙ Allow the sieve holder to cool down suffi ciently before
tapping its side against a vertical surface to loosen the
grounds before emptying it.
∙ To clean the sieve after use, hold the sieve with your fi ngers
inside the cut-outs on the sieve holder and pull it out from
above. Clean the sieve holder and sieve thoroughly.
Drip tray
During operation, any excess water or steam is collected in
the drip tray. The tray must therefore be fi tted whenever the
espresso maker is switched on. Caution: the cup stand may
become very hot during use.
As the water level in the drip tray rises, the fl oating red indicator
becomes visible and the tray must be emptied. Do not remove
the tray unless the rotary control is in its neutral position.
Caution: The water in the tray may be very hot.
To remove the tray, lift it up and pull it away from the appliance.
Should the covering panel at the rear of the drip tray become
detached from the tray during cleaning, it can be refi tted from
above at a slight angle.

beware of hot steam.
∙ Once the required amount of hot water has been drawn off,
turn the rotary control back to its neutral position ( ) to stop
the process.
Dispensing steam for heating beverages
For heating up milk or other beverages, steam can be drawn
from the hot-water/steam nozzle.
∙ Use the insulated ring grip to pull the steam tube forward.
Place the cup containing the beverage to be heated under the
