Tips on making an espresso
An espresso is a strong black coffee that is made by forcing under
pressure hot water, through finely ground coffee beans.
o Approximately 7 grams of coffee are required for an espresso.
After filling the filter holder with coffee, use the coffee pressing
tool (10) to tap down the coffee in the filter holder.
o If you are using a small cup especially designed for espressos,
then you should utilise the espresso cup stand (18) to raise the
cup closer to the filter holder (1).
o Once the water boiler is ready to dispense, run a small amount
of water through the machine to warm it up.
o You should dispense this hot water into your cup, to make sure
that the cup is warm too.
o Wipe away any excess coffee from the rim of the filter holder
before connecting it to the filter holder ring nut.

through it several times afterwards.
