4. BREWING COFFEE

4.1 GRINDING AND DOSING

It is necessary to have a coffee grinder with a dosing unit to grind coffee every day.
Grinding and dosing of coffee must be performed according to the instructions of the ma-
nufacturer of the coffee grinder. Please observe also the following:
• In order to get a nice espresso, do not store large amounts of coffee beans. Also check
the expiry date!
• Never grind large amounts of coffee!
• Do not purchase ground coffee as it may lose its fragrance before soon! If necessary,
purchase ground coffee only in vacuumed packages.

4.2 PREPARING THE COFEE

• Fill the piston with 1 portion of ground coffee (about 6 ~ 7 grams) and press it with
the special pressing appliance.
• Fix the handle of the piston to the brewing group. Do not tighten too hard to avoid
damaging the thread.
• For the same reason it is good to clean the edges of the filter holder before fixing the
handle to the socket of the brewing group.
• Follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer of the grinder-doser.
