Operation
General
Espresso is a strong coffee with its typical
froth, the 'crema', made from dark-roasted
coffee beans. Especially finely ground
coffee is necessary to make espresso.
Hot water is forced through the coffee
under high pressure, and the espresso is
delivered straight into the typical small
espresso cups with a content of 30-50 ml.
The steam function requires a significantly
higher operating temperature than making
espresso.

container is cleaned at regular
intervals. Do not switch the appliance
on unless the water container is filled.
