4–2. PREPARING ESPRESSO COFFEE
• Make sure that you have carried out all
the operations indicated in section 4.1
"starting the machine".
• To obtain a good cup of coffee, it is
important that you use a good quality,
well roasted and correctly ground
coffee. The pump type espresso coffee
machine requires finely ground coffee.
If the coffee is too coarsely ground, the
coffee will be light coloured and weak
without froth and if the coffee is too
finely ground the espresso will be dark
and strong and have little froth.
• We recommend that you grind
the coffee beans with a grinder
immediately before making the coffee
since the coffee quickly loses its aroma
after it has been ground.
• Warm cups help maintain the coffee
at the right temperature. We therefore
recommended that you place the cups
on the cup warmer shelf (2) before
using them.
PRE-HEATING
• Make sure there is enough water in
the tank (1).
• Depending on the number of cups of
coffee you wish to make, place a one-
cup filter (9) or a two-cup filter (10) into
the filter-holder (8 or 17) and insert the
filter holder into the group head (5).
• Turn on the main switch (13), the
power on light (13a) will come on
to indicate that the machine is in
operation.
• Wait until machine reaches the
operating temperature in order to
dispense a coffee, light (14a) lit.
