OPERATING THE ESPRESO MACHINE
Wait until the Espresso Machine has
7
reached operating temperature; this will
take approximately 6 minutes� When
the boiler temperature gauge needle
climbs into the "ready" zone, the
Espresso Machine is ready to brew.
Using the tamper, tamp the coffee
9
down firmly with a twisting motion�
Make sure the surface of the coffee is
as level as possible. See "Leveling" and
"Tamping" chapters in the "Tips for
great results" section for details�
Remove the portafilter from the brew
8
head by moving 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 filter basket.
Be sure to use a fine espresso-style
grind for your coffee�
Sweep any excess grinds from the rim
10
of the portafilter, and insert into the
brew head.
