PRACTICAL TIPS

It is preferable to use freshly roasted coffee. Ask a roaster for advice. The freshness of
coffee is only preserved for a few weeks after roasting. Good packaging may improve
and preserve the coffee for longer. If you are not sure about the quality of the packaging,
choose a recently roasted coffee.
The coffee must always be ground just before being prepared.

What type of coffee should i choose?
„
For a coffee rich in aroma
Choose pure Arabica coffee or those made from a majority of Arabica coffee.
Artisan roasted coffees are the best as they offer more complex and refined aromas. To
vary the flavours, try pure origin coffees.
„
For a full-bodied coffee
Choose Robusta blended coffees - not specified 100% Arabica - Italian roasted coffees,
or those specified as Italian.
„
Keep ground coffee in the fridge to maintain its flavour for longer.
„
Do not fill your filter holder to the top, but use the measuring scoop (1 scoop for a 50ml
cup, 2 scoops for two 50ml cups). Remove excess coffee from the rim of the filter holder.
„
If you do not use the appliance for longer than 5 days, empty and rinse the water tank.
„
Before removing the tank to fill or empty it, always ensure that the appliance is
switched off.
„
Always place the appliance on a flat, stable surface.
USING FOR THE FIRST TIME - or after long periods of
not using your Espresso maker.
Rinsing and preparing the system before first use.
Before using your coffee machine, clean all the accessories in soapy water and then dry.
Rinse the system following the procedure below:
„
Plug your machine in (1).
„
Open the lid (A) and remove the water tank (B) (2).
„
Fill the tank with water at room temperature and place it back on the appliance,
ensuring that it is positioned correctly. Close the lid (3-4).
„
Ensure that the selection button (D1) is in the O position (D1-1) (5).
„
Switch on the appliance by pressing the on/off button (D2). A short beep will sound,
this is completely normal. This corresponds to the switching on/off of the pump (6).
„
The temperature light flashes and then remains on (7).
„
Insert the filter holder (F) (without coffee) into the appliance: turn it to the right as
far as it will go (8).
„
Place a container with a volume greater than 1/2 litre under the steam wand (9).
„
Turn the selection button to Steam preheat (D1-3) (10).
„
The button flashes and then remains on: you can now turn the selection button to
the Steam position (D1-4) for approximately 20 seconds (11).
„
Turn the selection button to the O position (D1-1) (12).
„
Then place a 1/2 litre container under the filter holder (13).
„
Turn the selection button to the Espresso position (D1-2) (14). Allow water to flow
from the tank, equivalent to four 50ml espresso cups To stop the water flowing
through, turn the selection button to the O position (15).
„
If the water doesn't flow through (pump initiation) repeat the procedure from the
beginning without the filter holder.
„
Leave to cool and repeat this procedure four times making sure that the tank
contains enough water.
„
Leave your appliance to cool between each operation.
„
Remove the tank, empty, rinse carefully and place back in the appliance.
