6.3 Preparing coffee

Use the portafilter with 1 spout and the correspondent filter (1 cup) for the preparation of 1 cup. Use the
portafilter with 2 spouts and the big filter (2 cups) for the preparation of 2 cups. Make sure that the filter is
firmly locked into the portafilter.
Fill the ground coffee into the filter (approx. 7 g) into the 1 cup-portafilter and approx. 14 g into the 2 cups-
portafilter. Compress the ground coffee with a tamper. Clamp the portafilter firmly into the brew group.
Place the cup under the spout of the portafilter (for the preparation of 2 cups, put 1 cup under each spout).
Move the brew group lever into the upper position. When the cup is filled, move the brew group lever into
the lower position.
The remaining pressure/water will be discharged into the drip tray by the lower part of the infusion
cylinder.
The pump pressure can be read on the pump pressure gauge. After the brewing process, the gauge will
still indicate a certain amount of pressure. Only when preparing another cup of coffee the buildup of
pressure is visible again.
Caution!
If the group lever is not moved into the lower position properly, hot water and grounds will
squirt out of the brew group when taking out the portafilter. This may cause injury.
• Only freshly ground coffee allows for an optimal coffee result. Therefore, use a
professional coffee grinder.
• We recommend to use a stainless steel tamper with a diameter of 58 mm for optimum
tamping.

6.4 Dispensing of hot water

1. Place an adequate water container (with a heat-insulated handle) under the hot water dispenser. After
having moved the power switch into the lower position, you can dispense water (e. g. for tea) by opening
the hot water lever.
2. After dispensing water refill the water tank if necessary and switch the machine on again. The boiler
will be filled with fresh water automatically.
When the machine is switched off, more hot water can be dispensed.
However, one does not necessarily have to switch off the machine for dispensing hot
water.
Caution!
Place the nozzle of the dispenser into the water container in order to avoid injuries due to
hot water spraying.

6.5 Dispensing of steam

The PRO 500 makes it possible to generate large amounts of steam in order to heat or froth beverages, e.
g. milk or punch. It is a professional and compact espresso coffee machine with an enormous steam
volume. Therefore, within a few seconds you can prepare milk froth. Please pay attention to the
instructions below. Do not bring the milk to a boil, otherwise it is not possibile to get the milk to froth.
1. Important: In order to get the best result when frothing milk, open the steam lever for approx. 5
seconds to release condensation water in the pipe.
2. Immerse the steam nozzle (at the end of the steam dispenser) into the liquid.
