has been tightened until it stops before preparing the coffee. Do not

With ground coffee
The type of coffee you choose will determine the strength and taste of your espresso: the
finer your ground coffee, the more intense your espresso will be.
„ Fill the water tank with tepid water and refit it on the appliance, making sure that it is
correctly in place.

„ For the best result, we recommend preheating the accessories beforehand (filter holder,
filter and cups) by following the steps above, without adding coffee.
„ Turn on the appliance by pressing the On/Off button.
