Preparing Espresso - Silvercrest SEM 1100 B3 Operating Instructions Manual

Preparing espresso

NOTE
► Always ensure that the espresso sieve
powder residues.
1) When the appliance is heated up:
To prepare an espresso, place the small espresso sieve
holder
To prepare two espressos, place the large espresso sieve
holder
2) Fill the small espresso sieve
This corresponds to approx. 7 g of powder or a level measuring spoon
Or...
Fill the large espresso sieve
This equates to about 7 g + 7 g of powder or two level measuring spoons
3) Tamp down the espresso powder using the compactor on the measuring spoon
Add more espresso powder, if required, until the espresso sieve
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.
4) Place the sieve holder
clockwise until the handle of the sieve holder
5) Place one (or two) cup(s) under the sieve holder openings. We recommend
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) As soon as the green heating-up control lamp
down the "Espresso" button
WARNING
Never remove the sieve holder
out!
The resulting spray of hot espresso would lead to injury!
► Always check to make sure that the "Espresso" button
