HOW TO MAKE ESPRESSO COFFEE USING PRE-
GROUND COFFEE
Important: Everytime you switch on the appliance, make sure that the
mode selector dial (B1) is turned to I position (Stand-by).
1. Place the ground coffee filter (C2 or C3) in the filter holder.
Use the filter to make one coffee or the
filter to make two coffees.
2. To make just one coffee, place one level measure of pre-
ground coffee (about 7 g) in the filter. (fig. 12).
To make two coffees, place two loosely filled measures
(about 6+6 g) of pre-ground coffee in the filter.
Fill the filter a little at a time to prevent the pre-ground
coffee from overflowing.
Important: For correct operation, before filling with pre-ground coffee,
make sure there are no coffee residues left in the filter from the last time you made
coffee.
3. Distribute the pre-ground coffee evenly and press light-
ly with the presser (fig. 13). Correct pressing of the pre-
ground coffee is essential to obtain a good espresso. If
pressing is excessive, coffee delivery will be slow and the
froth will be dark. If pressing is too light, coffee delivery
will be too rapid and the froth will be skimpy and light
coloured.
4. Remove any excess coffee from the rim of the filter holder
and attach to the appliance. Turn the handle firmly to-
wards the right (fig. 6) to avoid water leaking out.
5. Place the cup or cups under the filter holder spouts (fig.
14). You are recommended to warm the cups before mak-
ing coffee by rinsing them with a little hot water.
6. Make sure the OK light (fig. 8) is on (if off, wait until
it comes on), then turn the mode selector dial to the
position. When the desired amount of coffee
has been delivered, turn the dial to the l position.
7. To remove the filter holder, turn the handle from right to
left.
Danger of burns! To avoid splashes, never remove the filter holder while
the appliance is delivering coffee.
8. To turn the appliance off, press the ON/OFF button.
