USING THE APPLIANCE

1. ESPRESSO PREPARATION

Espresso coffee is obtained by passing pressurized hot water through coffee grounds. The quality of the
taste depends on several factors: the type of coffee, the fineness of the ground coffee, the quantity of
ground coffee in the filter and the quality of the water...
The EM-1020 espresso machine allows you to prepare a delicious espresso from ground coffee or a paper
coffee pod.
It is recommended that you turn the machine on 10 to 15 minutes before making your espresso
and pre-heat the cups on the cup warming plate. Your coffee will stay at the ideal temperature
longer in a cup that has been preheated.
A. Espresso made from ground coffee
Choose the 1 cup filter
place in the filter holder. (fig.5)
Fill the dosing spoon taking care to level it:
- 1-cup filter = 1 spoon of coffee (approximately 7 g)
- 2-cup filter = 2 spoons of coffee (approximately 14 g)
Empty the contents of the spoon into the filter then gently shake to distribute the ground coffee
uniformly.
Press down the ground coffee using the coffee press. If the coffee seems too light, press the coffee
more.
If necessary, wipe the edge of the filter to remove any ground coffee that may be stuck and thus help
the filter holder lock into the Group head.
B. Espresso made from paper pods
IMPORTANT
There are 2 types of paper pods:
- The "compact" pod = special espresso coffee packaged in a rigid pod (approx. 45 mm in
diameter) composed of 7 g of compacted ground coffee.
- "Soft" pod = pod measuring in general 55 to 60 mm in diameter. Since this type of pod is not
specifically designed for espresso machines, you will obtain a weaker espresso than with a
"compact" pod.
Use the 1 cup filter
or the 2 cup filter
.
and insert either a compact or a soft pod.
depending on the quantity of coffee required and
