USEFUL ADVICE FOR OBTAINING A GOOD ITALIAN ESPRESSO
The ground coffee in the filter ring must be lightly pressed. The strength of the coffee depends on the
degree of grinding of the coffee, the quantity placed in the filter ring and the pressing. Only a few
seconds are needed for the coffee to flow into the cups. If it takes any longer it means that the grind
is too fine or the coffee has been pressed too much.
To obtain coffee with a finer crema, use filter (N) with disc (M); to obtain a higher crema use
only the filter (N) after removing the disc (M) from the filter ring.
After proceeding with the operations described in the PRELIMINARY PHASES FOR USE, put the
cup under the spout (H) and move the coffee brewer switch (C) to the position (
lower lever (F); hot water will now flow out of the spout. The maximum dose for two cups is 200 ml.
HOW TO BREW COFFEE WITH PODS (only for MOD. 1385/1)
To make coffee with pods you must use the specific pod filter that came with the coffee
maker as described below:
1. Place the pod in the filter ring making sure that the part with the
word "down" is facing down.
2. With your fingers, press the pod towards the lower part of the
filter, making sure that the paper flaps adhere to the inner part
of the filter.
3. The pod needs to be well centered and placed in the filter. The
corners should be folded inwards.
4. The filter ring can now be inserted in its housing. Turn the filter
ring counterclockwise 40-45 degrees until it is completely tight-
ened.
5. After brewing the coffee, the pod may stick to the upper part of
the machine when you try to remove the filter ring. To remove
the pod, tilt the filter ring, as shown in the figure, so that the
pod falls on the filter.
To always have excellent coffee, only buy E.S.E. compatible brands of pods.
6. If the pod is not properly inserted or the filter ring is not completely tightened, a few drops of
water may come out of the filter ring.
