How to make a good Espresso
coffee:
1 Follow the procedure described under
Preparation.
2 Select the correct filter basket (10 or 11) and
insert it in the filter holder (9).
Use the small filter for 1 cup and the large
filter for 2 cups of espresso.
Then insert the filter holder (9) into the
brewing head (11) to warm-up
3 Wait until the machine has reached the
correct temperature with filter holder inserted
(heating time of about 6 minutes).
Use this time to set table, prepare cups,
coffee, milk, etc
4 After the warm-up period, remove the warm
filter-holder (9) from the brewing head and
fill with correctly ground espresso coffee
using the measuring spoon provided.
Place one level measure of coffee in basket
for each cup of espresso. Do not overfill.
Gently tamp down coffee with the tamper
(17) provided. Do not compress too firmly.
5 Clean any excess coffee from the rim of filter
holder (9). Insert filter holder into brew head
by holding handle approximately 45
degrees to the left as you face machine.
When properly aligned,move handle firmly
to the right to lock into position.
The handle should point to the front of the
machine or slightly to the right.
6 Place one or two espresso cups on the drip
plate to line up with the spouts of the filter
holder. Depress hot water/brew switch (2)
to pos. 1.
Espresso will start to flow into cups.
7 When cups are 3/4 full, release brew switch
to 0.
The more water you allow to flow, the
weaker the coffee. When properly made,
the espresso will have a light brown foam
crema floating on the top.
If not, refer to In the event of faulty
function.
8 Remove cups and serve.
9 To make more espresso, carefully and slowly
remove the filter holder by moving handle
to the left. Be careful as hot water will be on
top of the coffee grinds in the holder. Some
water will continue to drip from brewing
head as filter holder is removed. That is
normal and due to the pump pressure in the
system.
Knock out used coffee grinds from filter. For
more espresso repeat steps 4 to 8 above
Preparing cappuccino:
When preparing to make a cappuccino, have
all of the ingredients at hand as well as a
frothing pitcher (or mug) halffilled with skimmed
or low-fat milk and cups that are larger (6 oz.)
than those used for espresso.
Frothing Milk:
The higher the fat content in the milk the denser
the froth will be. The steam pipe (8) will give
you all the froth required but dont let milk come
to a boil.
It may require two or three attempts to become
an expert but you will be successful at frothing
milk if you give it a chance. Swivel the steam
pipe nozzle slightly outward so that you can get
the frothing pitcher under the nozzle without
knocking the base of the machine.
1 Make espresso (in a large cups) as described
above
 11 
OPTIONAL
Perfect cream device (13)
For a better operation of the perfect cream
disk, fully insert the metal washer into its seat.
We recommend that the Perfect cream device
be cleaned on a daily basis, before use, in
order to prevent any blockage of the delivery
holes.
A pin may be used to clean out the hole.
Even if the type of coffee grinding is not correct
the use of the Perfect cream device will pro-
duce the typical creamy froth of an espresso
coffee.
N.B.: Only use the perfect cream device with
a large 2-cup filter.
