6. PREPARING AN ESPRESSO

IMPORTANT!
If the espresso machine is being used for
the first time, the appliance must be clea-
ned as described in paragraph 5
"FIRST USE".
With ground coffee
The type of ground coffee that you use
will determine the strength and taste of
your espresso: the finer your coffee is
ground, the stronger the espresso.
• Before removing the removable tank, place
the selector d1 in the "0" position
• Fill the tank with cold water and fit it back
(fig. 7 and 8)
onto the appliance
• Switch on the appliance by pressing the
ON/OFF button d2.
• The LED flashes while the machine is
warming up, then remains lit. The appliance
is then ready for use.
For best results, we recommend warming up
the accessories beforehand (filter holder and
cups) without adding any ground coffee.
Proceed as follows:
• Fit the empty filter holder, and place the
espresso cups underneath it. As soon as the
appliance has reached the right temperature,
the orange LED stops flashing.
• Press the 2 cup or 1 cup button according to
what you require.
• Once the cup(s) are filled with hot water,
move the selector back to the "0" position.
• Release the filter holder by pressing the
"EJECT" button lightly and turning it towards
(fig. 1)
the left . Using the measuring spoon,
place the ground coffee into the filter holder:
one measuring spoon (filled to the top) per
cup for a good espresso
• Remove the excess ground coffee from the
edge of the filter holder
• Insert the filter holder into the appliance and
turn it towards the right
desired compression of the ground coffee is

until the
reached. The more it is compressed, the
stronger the espresso.
• Place a cup on the grill of the drip tray under
the filter holder (fig. 10).
• Select the desired volume of coffee using the
D3 button, approximately between 30 ml and
125 ml per cup. (Approximate quantity,
depending on the ground coffee and how
tightly it is packed down)
• Turn the selector d1 to the position (coffee)
(fig. 5).
• Press either the D4 button
D5 button
• After a few moments, the coffee stars to flow.
• When the cups are filled according to your
selection with the D3 button, the flow of
coffee is stopped automatically. Return the
selector D1 to the "0" position
• Remove the cup.
• Release the filter holder: press the "EJECT"
button lightly while turning the filter holder
towards the left and remove it from the
appliance. Throw away the used coffee using
the ejection system by pressing the "EJECT"
button on the handle fully (fig. 11). Wash the
filter holder under running water, while
pressing the "EJECT" button to eliminate the
remains of ground coffee (see also paragraph
8.B for deeper cleaning).
It is normal that each time the control selector
d1 returns to the position "0" there is a low
noise of running water or steam, due to a
specific device which eliminates the pressure
from the circuits.
Once you have prepared your first espresso
and the appliance is hot, you can keep your
cups at the right temperature
In the spaces provided.
With an E.S.E espresso pod
"ESE" for "Easy Serving Espresso" is a
pod (44 mm in diameter) of 7g of coffee
that has been selected, ground and com-
pacted between two filter papers especially
designed to make Italian style espresso
("ristretto" short coffee).
This system permits easy, simple, clean
and comfortable use of your machine.
