Espresso coffee

Espresso coffee is richer in aroma and stronger
than normal coffee. It is drunk from small pre-
heated espresso cups. Hot water is passed
through the ground coffee to obtain this
delicious foamy black coffee, which has an
invigorating effect.
You can recognise an espresso by its
characteristic aroma and its typical froth. But
this requires high pressure and an excellent
espresso coffee which has been well roasted
and correctly ground. If you cannot buy
ground espresso coffee, use a coffee grinder
to grind the beans. The coffee must not be
ground too fine. It must be slightly
granulated. If it is too fine, you risk blocking
the grid of the brewing head and the filter.
To guarantee complete success for your
espresso, you must also use freshly-drawn
water (so that it has not had time to stagnate
18
in the air), without any chlorine odour and at
a fairly cold temperature.
Before first using your
machine
Before using your appliance for the first time,
clean the water heating system, without
coffee in the filter holder, filling the water
tanks once or twice, as follows:
Open the lid and lift out the water tank
•
using the handle (1). Fill with water (2).
Replace the water tank by positioning it
•
firmly (3) by opening the connection flap
located below the water tank and close the
lid.
The water level in the water tank can be
checked at any time using the window
provided for this purpose, so if necessary you
can add more water (4).
Start the appliance (5). The red operating
•
light and the orange temperature control
indicator light will both come on.
Place one of the filters in the filter holder
•
(11). Then put the filter holder on the
appliance's brewing head.
To ensure that the filter holder is in the
•
correct position, turn the handle so it points
to the left (6), place the filter holder flat
against the brewing head, then turn the
handle towards the right (7) as far as it can
go (8).
Place a container, as large as possible,
•
beneath the filter holder (9).
As soon as the orange indicator light goes
•
off, turn the selector to the
and allow all the water in the water tank to
run through.
If necessary, you can stop the operation by
•
turning the selector to the O setting to
empty the container, then resume the
operation.
