Espresso
Espresso is made by pumping hot water

This tasty Espresso coffee is best served in
special small-sized cups (50 ml).

temperature, if the filter holder is screwed
into place while the machine is heating up.

with hot tap water.
• To obtain real Espresso with a nice crest of
"crema" (foam) use genuine Espresso type
coffee.

coffee into the 1 cup filter.
For 2 cups, place 2 level measuring spoonsful
into the 2 cup filter (fig. 6).
