1) When the appliance is heated up:
To prepare an espresso, place the small espresso sieve p into the sieve
holder i .
To prepare two espressos, place the large espresso sieve o into the sieve
holder i .
2) Fill the small espresso sieve p with espresso powder up to the Max marking .
This corresponds to approx . 7 g of powder or a level measuring spoon a .
Or . . .
Fill the large espresso sieve o with espresso powder up to the Max marking .
This equates to about 7 g + 7 g of powder or two level measuring spoons a .
3) Tamp down the espresso powder using the compactor on the measuring spoon a .
Add more espresso powder, if required, until the espresso sieve o p is full
up to the Max marking . Tamp the coffee powder down once again .
NOTE
► Compaction of the coffee powder is an essential process for the prepar-
ation of an espresso . If the espresso powder is compacted very strongly,
the espresso runs through more slowly and more crema is generated . If the
espresso powder is not so strongly compacted, the espresso runs through
more quickly and it creates very little crema .

turn it clockwise until the handle of the sieve holder i is facing the front

that you rinse the cups out with hot water beforehand, so that the espresso
does not cool so quickly . You can place the cups onto the storage space 6 .

"Espresso" button
