3. Adding espresso grounds
(figures 3,4,5)
0 Take the filter holder, fold back the
finger protector and place the 1-cup
filter or the 2-cup filter into the filter
holder (figure 3).
When using prepacked portions, insert
3
the filter for prepacked portions
(figure 1/P and figure 5).
0 Fill the filter with espresso grounds.
Use:
1 full measuring spoon for the 1-cup
filter, 2 full measuring spoons for the
2-cup filter.
0 Lightly press the espresso grounds into
the filter (figure 4) using the ground
coffee presser (figure 1/M). Ensure that
after pressing the coffee, the filter is
still filled to the rim with espresso
grounds. Clean any espresso grounds
away from the rim of the filter.
Do not press the espresso grounds too
3
firmly into the filter. In such an event
the flow of water through the coffee
can decrease significantly. (See also
"What to do if...")
If you grind espresso grounds yourself,
3
choose the "middle" fineness level.
4. Screwing on the filter holder
(Figures 6, 7)
0 Position the filter holder in the filter
retainer such that the handle of the
filter holder is located below the left
white triangle (figure 6,"1").
0 Twist the filter holder to the right as
far as it will go (figure 6,"2"), so that
the handle is pointing forwards and is
located beneath the white line
between the two points (figure 7,"3").
5. Placing cup(s) underneath
(Figure 8)
0 Place one or two cups under the
openings in the filter holder (figure 8).
6. Brewing an espresso
0 Switch the water/steam selection
switch (figure 1/B) to the symbol .
0 When the appliance has attained its
operating temperature, turn the
selector dial (figure 1/G) to the
symbol . The water will now be
forced through the espresso grounds
under high pressure.
0 When the desired amount of espresso
has been brewed, turn the selector dial
left again to the "•" position.
Please note that when making an
3
espresso the water-steam selection
switch (figure 1/B) is always at the
position. If the espresso is brewed at
the position, the taste of the coffee
can be adversely affected due to the
higher brewing temperature.
Each time after making an espresso or
after using steam/hot water when the
selector dial is turned to the "•"
position, any remaining water is
directed to the drip tray. Each
additional cup is brewed using fresh
water. This is how to obtain the total
enjoyment out of espresso. This is why
the drip tray must be emptied
regularly.
7. Removing the drip tray
(Figure 9)
0 Twist the filter holder to the left and
out of the retainer.
0 Fold the finger protector forwards and
hold it down. Tap the used espresso
grounds out of the filter holder and
out of the filter (figure 9).
0 Rinse the filter holder and the filter
with warm water. Do not clean the
filter holder in the dishwasher!
3 If the appliance is not going to be used
for a longer period of time, do not
screw the filter holder back in. This will
increase the life of the seal located on
the brew head.
