1. Make certain the water tank has an adequate supply of
water (the water level should be between the "max" and
"min" fill lines).
2. Select the small- or large-capacity filter basket. Use the
small-capacity basket for one cup (30 ml) of espresso,
and the large-capacity basket for two cups (60 ml). The
small-capacity basket can be used with paper coffee pods.
3. Press the filter basket into the filter holder until it snaps
into place. Do not fill the filter holder with coffee at
this time.
4. Position the filter holder underneath the brew head and
align the filter holder handle with the "
of the metal trim ring. Raise the filter holder into the brew
head, then move the filter holder handle to the right so
that it aligns with the "

the handle to the left. Place one level measure of ground
coffee (or a paper coffee pod) in the small filter basket,
or two measures of ground coffee in the large basket. Be
sure to use a fine espresso-style grind for your coffee.
8. Using the tamper, tamp the coffee down firmly with a
twisting motion. Make sure the surface of the coffee is
as level as possible. See the "Leveling" and "Tamping"
sections for more details.

the spouts of the filter holder. Press the "
