Follow the procedure described in the Preparation section.
Wait until the machine has reached the correct temperature (heating
time about 6 minutes).
Select the correct filter (14) and insert it into the filter holder (15). Use
the small filter for 1 cup and the large filter for 2 cups. Then insert the
filter holder (15) into the unit (16) and wait for it to heat up.
After heating, remove the filter holder (15) and fill it with ground coffee
using the special measure. Use one measure for each cup of coffee. Do
not overtill. Use the special press (8) to tap down the coffee. Do not
overpress.
Clean off any coffee residues from the edge of the filter holder (15).
Insert the filter holder into the unit (16) with a 45" movement to the left.
Then turn it back to the right to lock it into position.
The handle of the filter holder should be perpendicular to the machine
or slightly shifted towards the right.
Place 1 or 2 cups under the filter holder. Press the coffee switch (2) and
the coffee will begin to flow.
When the cups are 3/4 full, release the coffee switch. The strength of the
coffee will vary depending on the amount of water. A good coffee pre-
pared according to the correct procedure will have the typical brown
" c r e a m " . If not, refer to the OPERATING PROBLEMS section.
Remove the cups and serve.
To prepare another cup of coffee, slowly and carefully remove the filter
holder by moving it to the left. Be careful not to bum yourself with any
water that may have remained on the coffee grounds.
Remove the grounds from the filter. To prepare another cup of coffee,
repeat steps 4 to 8.
"PERFECT CREMA" DEVICE
A unique disc fitted into the filter-holder will produce coffee giving the
perfect "Crema" essential for the authentic espresso, whatever type of
grind y>ou use.
Furthermore, you need only use the two-cup filter
basket even when brewing for one person (one
level measure of coffee only).
