3. TIPS

n To extract the fullest flavor from your beans, we recommend using whole
coffee beans that have been freshly ground each time espresso is
prepared. Take care to make sure your coffee is ground to the proper
size for espresso. Too fine a grind will result in espresso that is over-
extracted and bitter. Too coarse a grind will result in espresso that is
under-extracted and weak in flavor. The perfect espresso grind will feel
like fine grains that do not clump when pressed together.
n Store your espresso grounds in an airtight container, and in a cool, dry
place to retain the flavor. Grounds should not be kept for long periods
of time as the flavor will be reduced over time.
n Do not fill your filter holder to the brim. Using the measuring spoon
included, use 1 level spoon of grounds per shot of espresso.
n If you do not use the machine for more than 5 consecutive days, rinse
and drain the water tank.
n Before removing the water tank to fill or empty it, always turn the machine
off.
n Always place the unit on a flat, stable, heat-resistant work surface.
n To obtain an espresso at exactly the right temperature, we recommend
that you preheat your cups.
IMPORTANT!
Before using for the first time, after a prolonged period
of inactivity or after descaling, the machine must be
cleaned as described in Section 4: "BEFORE FIRST
USE".
