Distribute the pre-ground coffee evenly and press lightly with the presser. Correct pres-
sing of the pre-ground coffee is essential to obtain a good espresso. If you press too
firmly, the coffee will be delivered slowly and will be strong. If you press too lightly, the
coffee will be delivered quickly and will be weak. Remove any excess coffee from the
rim of the filter holder and attach the filter holder to the appliance. To attach correctly,
align the filter holder handle with the UNLOCK symbol, attach the filter holder and ro-
tate the handle towards the right until aligned with the LOCK symbol. Place the cup(s)
under the filter holder spouts.
Make sure the lights corresponding to the coffee buttons are on, then press the one
cup or two cup coffee button. The appliance proceeds to make the coffee and delivery
is interrupted automatically. To remove the filter holder, turn the handle from right
(LOCK) to left (UNLOCK).
DANGER OF BURNS! To avoid splashes, never remove the filter holder while the
appliance is delivering coffee. Always wait for a few seconds after delivery.

Delivery stops and the light flashes to indicate that the quantity has been saved correctly.

22 seconds. For '2-cups', the shortest delivery time is 20 seconds, the longest delivery
time is 51 seconds. The time does not include the first 3 seconds.
HOW TO MAKE CAPPUCCINO
Prepare the espresso coffees as described in the previous sections, using sufficiently
large cups. Press the steam button and the indicator will light on. In the meantime, fill
a recipient with about 100g of milk for each cappuccino to be prepared. For a denser
and more even froth, you must use whole milk at refrigerator temperature (about 5°C).
Depending on the size of the recipient, bear in mind that the milk doubles or triples in
volume. Put an empty container under the cappuccino maker and open the knob for
a few seconds to eliminate any air left in the circuit. Close the knob again. Place the
recipient containing the milk under the cappuccino maker and immerse the cappuc-
