the espresso. The capacity of the tank will provide for 25 cups

The water in the boiler is used for creating steam.

machine should be switched on 10 to 15 minutes before its
use. Attention: The machine will be hot! Please be aware that
the boiler is always filled with the adequate amount of water.
