Making Espresso; With Ground Coffee - T-Fal PUMP ESPRESSO EX32 Mode D'emploi

What coffee should you choose?
• For an aromatic coffee
Choose pure Arabica coffees or those composed mostly of Arabica coffee.
Artisan roasted coffees are preferred as they lend a better complexity and delicateness to
the flavour. For a variety of flavours, try pure origin coffees.
• For an intense coffee
Choose coffees blended with Robusta – not specifically 100% Arabica – or Italian-roasted
coffees or specific Italian-flavoured coffees.
• Keep the ground coffee in the fridge as this will lock in the flavour for longer.
• Do not fill your filter holder to the brim; use the measuring spoon (1 spoon for a 50 ml cup,
2 spoons for 2 x 50 ml cups). Clean off any excess coffee from around the filter holder.
• If you have not used the appliance for more than 5 days, empty and rinse the water tank.
• Always make sure the appliance is switched off before removing the tank to fill it or
empty it.
• Always ensure the appliance is positioned on a flat and stable surface.

MAKING ESPRESSO

IMPORTANT!
If the espresso function is used for the first time, the appliance must be
cleaned as described in the "FIRST USE" paragraph.
IMPORTANT! To prevent splashes of hot water, check that the filter holder
has been tightened until it stops before preparing the coffee. Do not
remove the filter holder while the water is flowing, as the appliance is still
under pressure.

With ground coffee

The type of coffee you choose will determine the strength and taste of your espresso: the
finer your ground coffee, the more intense your espresso will be.
• Fill the water tank with tepid water and refit it on the appliance, making sure that it is
correctly in place.
• Plug in your machine.
• For the best result, we recommend preheating the accessories beforehand (filter holder,
filter and cups) by following the steps above, without adding coffee.
• Turn on the appliance by pressing the On/Off button.
• The "On" indicator light will switch on.
