1.
Make certain the water reservoir has an adequate supply of
water (the water level should be between the "max" and "min"
fill lines).

Select the small or large capacity filter basket. Use the small
capacity basket for a single shot of espresso (1 oz [30 ml]), and
the large capacity basket for a double shot (2 oz [60 ml]). The
small capacity basket can be used with paper coffee pods.
3.
Press the filter basket into the portafilter until it snaps into
place. Do not fill the portafilter with coffee at this time.
