HOW TO MAKE ESPRESSO COFFEE WITH THE FILTER
HOLDER FOR PODS (IF FITTED)
1.Preheat the appliance as described in the paragraph
"PREHEATING THE COFFEE UNIT". Leave the filter
holder attached to the appliance. This obtains a
hotter coffee. Preheating improves the filter holder
gasket seal.
2.Press the filter holder button and insert a pod,
centring it as far as possible above the filter (fig. 24).
Always follow the instructions on the pod pack to
position the pod on the filter correctly.
NB: Use pods conforming to the ESE standard
indicated on the pack with the following logo:
The ESE standard is a system accepted by leading pod
producers and enables espresso coffee to be prepared
simply and cleanly.
3.Attach the filter holder to the appliance. Always
rotate as far as it will go (fig. 15).
NB: To ensure effective closure and avoid leaks of
water from the rim of the filter holder, you are
recommended to grease the bottom of the lateral tabs
from time to time with butter or oil (as shown in figure
25).
IMPORTANT: When using the filter holder for pods,
after using the filter for ground coffee, remove any
coffee grounds stuck to the boiler outlet (fig. 26).
Failure to observe this precaution may lead to water

leaking from the edges of the pod filter holder while

holder and extract.

HOW TO MAKE CAPPUCCINO

1.Prepare the espresso coffees as described in the
previous paragraphs, using sufficiently large cups.
2.Rotate the selector knob to the
steam indicator light comes on (fig. 27).
3.Wait until the OK indicator light comes on (fig. 28)
indicating that the boiler has reached the ideal
temperature for steam production.
4.In the meantime, fill a recipient with about 100
grams of milk for each cappuccino to be prepared.
The milk must be at refrigerator temperature (not
hot!). In choosing the size of the recipient, bear in
mind that the milk increases in volume by 2 or 3
times.
NB: You are recommended to use semi-skimmed milk
at refrigerator temperature.
5.Remove the cappuccino maker by pulling forwards
and rotating to the left (fig. 29). During this
operation, avoid touching the boiler outlet as it is hot.
Place the recipient containing the milk under the
cappuccino maker.
6.Immerse the cappuccino maker in the milk for about
2 cm and rotate the steam knob anticlockwise (fig.
30) (rotating the knob more or less varies the
quantity of steam discharged by the cappuccino
maker). The milk now starts to increase in volume
and take on a creamy appearance.
7.When the required temperature is reached (the ideal
is 60°C), interrupt steam delivery by rotating the
steam knob clockwise.
8.Pour the frothed milk into the cups containing the
espresso coffee prepared previously. The cappuccino
is ready. Sweeten to taste and if desired, sprinkle the
froth with a little cocoa powder.
NB: To prepare more than one cappuccino, first make
all the coffees then at the end prepare the frothed
milk for all the cappuccinos.
IMPORTANT: always clean the cappuccino maker
after use. Proceed as follows:
1.Discharge a little steam for a few seconds by rotating
the steam knob (fig. 30).
2.With one hand, hold the top part stationary and with
the other unscrew the cappuccino maker by rotating
clockwise and extracting from the nozzle (fig. 31).
