Double wall filter
The double wall filters are ideal for pre-ground coffee. They optimise the extraction
pressure and thus help make the espresso enjoyment optimal.
There is a double wall filter for 1 cup and one for 2 cups.

Storage
To prevent coffee aromas from evaporating quickly, it is best to store your coffee
●
airtight in its original packaging in a cool and dark place. But never in the refrig-
erator, as it is humid and the coffee absorbs the ambient odours.
Preheating the machine
Before the first use, the appliance parts, the portafilter and the cup should be
●
warmed up so that you can immediately enjoy a cup of hot coffee. Mount the
portafilter with the filter inserted but without the coffee powder to the brewing
group. Use the same cup with which you later prepare the coffee. Press one of
the two coffee buttons to let hot water run through the portafilter into the cup.
ATTENTION: There may still be hot water in the portafilter. Be careful not to scald
yourself.
As long as the appliance parts are still hot, only the cups need to be pre-heated.
●
The cup tray warms up during operation. It can be used for preheating cups. You
can also rinse the cups with a little hot water.
Grinding
For a perfect coffee, the coffee beans should be freshly ground with a grinder.
●
There is no such thing as the right grind size, as factors such as variety of coffee
bean, amount of coffee powder and tamping pressure also play an important
role. Experiment to make your personal favourite coffee.
Dosage
Wipe the filter in the portafilter clean with a dry cloth. Fill the filter for one cup
●
with the measuring spoon of coffee powder (approx. 8 – 9 g) resp. twice the
amount (approx. 16 –18 g) for two cups of coffee. Distribute the coffee powder
evenly in the filter.
ATTENTION: Don't overfill the filter with coffee powder to avoid a contact with the
group head and ensure a consistent extraction and a proper seal in the group head.
Tamping
Use the tamper (V) to tamp the coffee powder. Like that, it can provide the
●
necessary resistance to the water flowing through. Make sure that the tamper is
pushed down straight so that a horizontal bed of coffee is formed.
Remove coffee residue from the edge of the portafilter so that it can be correctly
●
inserted into the brewing head.
ATTENTION: If the edge of the portafilter is not clean, the portafilter can not be
inserted tightly into the brewing head and water may leak out next to the portafilter.
NOTE: When using compact 44 mm pods, simply place them in the center of the
corresponding filter (S). Tamping is not necessary in this case.
