10.2 How to prepare espresso coffee using pre-

with the
symbol on the bottom.
2. To make just one coffee, place one level measure of pre-
ground coffee (about 7 g) in the filter (fig. 7). To make two
coffees, place two loosely filled measures (about 7+7 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:

with the presser (fig. 8).
Correct pressing of the pre-ground coffee is essential to
obtain a good espresso. If you press too firmly, the coffee
will be delivered slowly and will be strong. If you press
too lightly, the coffee will be delivered quickly and will be
weak.

rectly, align the filter holder handle with the INSERT sym-
bol (fig. 9), attach the filter holder and rotate the handle

the bottom) in the filter holder.
2. Insert the pod, centring it as far as possible on the filter
(fig. 11). Always follow the instructions on the pod pack to
