Brewing an espresso
using ground coffee
The filter holder supplied features the "crema
perfetta" filter to prepare one or two coffees.
Warning! If the "crema perfetta" filter is used
without the frothing jet device, the machine will
squirt out the coffee, which may result in burns.
Note. If you prefer to use the traditional filter
(Fig.6/7), remove both the "crema perfetta" filter
(Fig.5) and the frothing jet device (Fig.1-16).

the filter holder first (Fig.1-17):
