• Fill the filter with one or two measures
of ground coffee (one measure per
cup) according to the type of filter
selected. Then level and press the
coffee firmly but not excessively with
the coffee tamper (16).
• Clean any coffee residues from the
edge of the filter and insert the filter-
holder (12) into the group head (5),
moving it towards the right in order to
lock it in position.
• Place one or two pre-warmed cups on
the drip tray grid (7) under the filter
holder and turn on the coffee / hot
water switch (10). The pressure gauge
(3) indicates the operating pressure.
• Once the required amount of coffee
has been dispensed, stop delivery by
turning off the switch (10) but do not
remove the filter holder.
• Turn the handle from right to left to
remove the filter holder.
• Empty the coffee grounds by leaving
the filter inserted and tapping the filter
holder while holding it upside down.
The 1-cup filter is suitable for ESE
pods.
• After having switched on the
machine, wait about 6 minutes
for it to heat up to the operating
temperature before dispensing
the first coffee
• To obtain a good cup of coffee,
it is important that you use a good
quality, well roasted and correctly
ground coffee.
• The pump type espresso coffee
machine requires finely ground
coffee. If the coffee is too coarsely
ground, the coffee will be light
coloured and weak without froth
and if the coffee is too finely
ground the espresso will be dark
and strong and have little froth.
• We recommend that you grind
the coffee beans with a grinder
immediately before making the
coffee since the coffee quickly
loses its aroma after it has been
ground.
We recommend that you dispense
steam for a maximum of 30
seconds.
• Do not touch the hot surfaces
(boiler, group head, filter holder,
steam supply nozzle) to avoid
burns.
• Do not remove the filter holder
while coffee is being dispensed to
avoid possible burns.
• Under no circumstances place
your hands under the group head
or the steam supply nozzle as the
liquids or steam delivered are hot
and may cause burns.
Do not remove the filter holder
immediately after having
dispensed coffee, wait for a few
seconds to allow any residual
pressure to be released in order
to avoid possible burns.
PREPARING ESPRESSO COFFEE USING A
PRESSURIZED FILTER HOLDER
• The special pressurized filter holder
allows you to make an excellent
creamy espresso coffee just like at the
bar.
• Insert the filter holder (13) into the
group head (5) and turn it from left to
right until it locks in order to pre-heat
it. Release the filter holder handle.
• The handle will now automatically
move slightly back towards the left.
This movement ensures that the filter
holder will operate perfectly for a long
time.
