How to use the coffee pods
To use pods, use exclusively the appropriate filter (9).
After heating, remove the filter holder (7) and insert the
pod; make sure that the pod paper does not come out of the
filter holder.
Insert the filter holder in the machine with a 45° movement
leftwards.
Then turn rightwards to hold it in position. The filter holder
handle shall be perpendicular to the machine or slightly moved
rightwards.
Then follow the "Coffee preparation" procedure – steps
5 to 7.
OPTIONAL
"Perfect cream" filter (12)
Even when the coffee is not properly ground, the "perfect
cream filter" will help produce the foamy 'cream'
typical of fine espresso.
You can use the "perfect cream filter" with a single
or double dose of ground coffee by using the special
measuring scoop.
To ensure perfect performance, clean your "perfect
cream filter" every day prior to use.
Should your "perfect cream filter" become clogged,
immerse it for a few seconds in boiling water.

Cappuccino
Steam can be used to froth the milk for cappuccinos and also
to heat beverages.
Caution! Scalding hazard! Splashing may occur
at the start – scalding hazard! The hot water
nozzle and pipe can reach high temperatures:
avoid touching it directly with your hands.
Milk frother version:
1 Make espresso (in a large cups) as described above
2 With the machine ready to deliver coffee, convey the pipe
over the drip tray (11), open the "Hot water/steam" tap
knob (24) for a few seconds so to let the remaining water
come out of the steam pipe; after a few seconds only steam
will come out.
3 Close the steam/hot water tap knob (24).
4 Press steam switch (3).
5 After approx. 50-60 seconds and when the exact
temperature light (5) lights up fixed, put the pot half filled
with cold milk under the frother. See Fig.03.
IMPORTANT: To obtain a better cappuccino, the milk
and the cup must be cold.
6 Slowly turn steam valve knob (24) counter counterclockwise
to release steam.
IMPORTANT. The more you turn the knob, the greater
the steam pressure for frothing.
N.B.: Dispensing should not exceed 60 seconds.
7 Move pitcher in circular motion keeping the tip of steam
nozzle just under surface of milk as it begins to froth. Do
not let milk come to a boil since it will not froth.
8 When you have made enough froth,turn steam knob
clockwise to shut off steam and remove pitcher.Press the
steam button (3) again.
9 Spoon the froth onto the espresso in each cup and gently
pour the hot milk along the side of the cup.
Top each cup of cappuccino with a dash of cinnamon, cocoa
and nutmeg. Serve.
NOTE: If you want to make more espresso immediately
after steaming milk, the machine boiler must be refilled
with water and temperature brought down to a brewing
temperature. Otherwise, espresso may taste "burned".
To do this: place an empty cup on drip plate.
Do not insert filter holder.
Press the manual supply button (2) and let water fill the
cup.
Press the button (2) again.
You many now proceed to make more espresso.
