Tips for Brewing
• To extract the fullest flavor from your coffee
beans, we recommend using whole coffee
beans that have been freshly ground each time
espresso is prepared.
• In addition to the coffee used, using fresh cold
water that is free of chlorine, odors and other
impurities will help ensure the perfect espresso.
• Store your espresso grounds in an airtight
container, and in a cool, dry place to retain the
flavor. Grounds should not be kept for long
periods of time as the flavor will be reduced.
• Do not fill your portafilter (7) and selected sieve
to the brim. Using the coffee scoop included,
use 1 level spoon (13) of grounds per shot of
espresso.
• If you do not use the machine for more than 5
consecutive days, rinse and drain the water tank
(3).
• Before removing the water tank (3) to fill or
empty it, always turn the machine off.
• Always place the unit on a flat, stable, heat-
resistant work surface.
• To ensure your espresso stays at optimum
temperature, we recommend that you preheat
your cups.
• Before brewing, the portafilter (7) must be
turned to the right as tight as possible to
prevent the portafilter from loosening due to
high pressure.
CAUTION: In order to avoid pos-
A
sible burns to body parts and/or
other injury from hot steam and
water or damages to the machine.
