through, return the espresso switch to the
I position, remove the filter carrier and
knock out the spent coffee meal (15).
The next lot of espresso can be prepared
after the sieve has been replenished with
espresso meal.
Generation of steam
Steam can be used both for frothing up milk
for cappuccino and for the heating of
liquids.
Since a higher temperature is necessary for
the generation of steam than that required
for preparing espresso, the espresso should
always be prepared first, as the coffee meal
might otherwise become burnt.
Due to the nature of the system, a little
water, which can be collected in a separate
vessel, will issue from the steam pipe before
the steam appears.

immediately after the frothing operation.
