How to prepare espresso using pods
1. Preheat the machine as described in the section "PREHEAT-
ING THE COFFEE UNIT (8.1)", making sure the portafilter is
attached. This obtains a hotter coffee.
Please note:
Use pods conforming to the ESE standard, indicated on the pack
by the following symbol.
The ESE standard is a system accepted by leading
pod producers and enables espresso to be pre-
pared simply and cleanly.
2. Place the filter for espresso pods (with the
the bottom) in the portafilter (fig. 13).
3. Insert the pod, centering it as far as possible on the filter
(fig. 20). Always follow the instructions on the pod pack to
position the pod on the filter correctly.
4. Attach the portafilter to the machine. Always turn as far as
it will go (fig. 14).
5. Proceed as in points 6, 7 and 8 in the previous section.

sition (fig. 24). Steam is delivered from the frother, giving
the milk a creamy frothy texture. For a creamier froth, im-
merse the frother in the milk and move the container with
slow up/down movements.
