pre-warming Cups

The Cup Warming Tray will start to warm as
the machine heats.
Pre-warm the cups by placing them on
the Cup Warming Tray or by rinsing them
with hot water from the group head. This
will help maintain the coffee's optimal
temperature when brewed into the cups.

preparing the Coffee

Place the 1 or 2 cup filter basket into the
filter holder.
Use the smaller filter for 1 cup/1oz and the
larger filter for 2 cups/2oz or 2 singles at
the same time. When brewing for a mug of
coffee always use the 2 cup filter and only
extract 2 oz. If you require a larger coffee,
add the hot water first and then brew the
coffee.
Use 1 level measure of ground espresso
coffee for the 1 cup filter basket and 2 level
measures for the 2 cup filter basket. It is
important to use the correct amount of
coffee for each filter as the filter perforations
have been constructed to utilize the
pressure in the machine to extract optimal
flavor with each brewing.
NOTE:
When brewing for a mug of coffee, always
use the 2 cup filter. If you require a larger
coffee, add the hot water first and then
brew the coffee.

into the group head.
NOTE:
1 cup filter for single shot (1oz/30ml),
2 cup filter for double shot (2oz/60ml) or
two single shots.
