ECG ESP 20301 Mode D'emploi page 14

Too compacted or finely ground coffee (looks like a powder and resembles smooth flour when rubbed
between the fingers) will prevent water from flowing through the coffee, even under pressure. The resulting
coffee will be dark and bitter.
On the other hand, the result of a coarsely ground or under-tamped coffee will be a sour, odorless coffee.
You can tamp coarse coffee with more force, tamp more gently the fine ground coffee.
When choosing ground coffee, pay attention to the information on the packaging. It is stated here usually for
which type of coffee machines the coffee is intended. Choose one that has the ESPRESSO type designation - for
example, "ESPRESSO MACINATO", the lever coffee machine symbol or the information that it is suitable for all
types of coffee machines. Coffee grinders usually have the option of setting the grinding coarseness and the
coarseness for "ESPRESSO" coffee is marked. Even so, make sure that the coffee has coarseness similar to the
structure of table salt.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
1. Before cleaning, unplug the power cord and let the coffee machine cool down completely.
2. Regularly clean the surface of the coffee machine with a damp sponge and also clean the water tank, drip
tray and removable shelf. Then dry everything.
Note: Do not use alcohol or an abrasive to clean. Never immerse the body of the appliance in water or any
other liquid.
3. Remove the lever with metal cup by turning it clockwise, empty out the coffee grounds. You can then clean
these parts with detergent and finally rinse them with clean water.
