Coffee preparation

1 Follow the procedure described under "Preparation".
N.B.: The self-priming system can change the first coffee
dose. It is recommended to dispense a small quantity of
water before brewing the first coffee.
2 Select the correct filter basket (8,9 or 10) and insert it in
the filter holder (7).
Use the small filter for 1 cup and the large filter for 2 cups
of espresso.
Then insert filter-holder (8) into the appliance.
3 After the warm-up period, remove the warm filter-holder
(7) from the brewing head and fill with correctly ground
espresso coffee using the measuring spoon provided.
Place one level measure of coffee in basket for each cup
of espresso.
Do not overfill.
Gently tamp down coffee with the tamper (17)
provided.
Do not compress too firmly.
4 Clean any excess coffee from the rim of filter holder (7).
Insert filter holder into brew head by holding handle
approximately 45 degrees to the left as you face machine.
When properly aligned,move handle firmly to the right to
lock into position.
The handle should point to the front of the machine or
slightly to the right.
5 Place one or two espresso cups on the drip plate to line
up with the spouts of the filter holder. Press button (4) to
dispense the programmed coffee dose.
6 Coffee dispensing will be automatically stopped when the
preset level is reached (see "Coffee dose programming");
anyway coffee dispensing can be stopped by pressing
button (4) again.
7 Remove cups and serve.
8 To make more espresso, carefully and slowly remove the
filter holder by moving handle to the left. Be careful as
hot water will be on top of the coffee grinds in the holder.
Some water will continue to drip from brewing head as
filter holder is removed. That is normal and due to the
pump pressure in the system.
Knock out used coffee grinds from filter. For more espresso
repeat steps 2 to 7 above.
9 To prepare coffee manually, carry out steps 2 through 4 and
then press button 2. When you have obtained the desired
quantity of coffee in the cup, press button 2 again to stop
the cycle. Then proceed with steps 7 and 8.
N.B.: Dispensing should not exceed 40 seconds.
