PREPARING THE COFFEE

1. Place the filter in the brew basket.
2. Fill with fresh, fine ground espresso coffee to the 2- or 4-cup mark of the filter. Do not
fill above the 4-cup marking. Clean any excess coffee from the rim of the filter holder.
This will assure proper fit under the brew head.
ATTENTION: Gently tamp or compress coffee. Do not overfill the filter basket.
This might cause clogging or overflow.
3. Position brew basket underneath the brew head, attach brew basket by first moving
retainer clip back, position handle to far left until it fits into the groove. Then, slowly turn
to right until brew basket is located at locked position.
