STEP 2 - PREPARING THE COFFEE
•
Place the 1 or 2 cup filter into the Filter
Holder (use the smaller filter for 1 cup and
the larger filter for 2 cups).
•
Use 1 level measure of ground espresso coffee
for the 1 cup filter and 2 level measures for
the 2 cup filter. It is important to use the
correct amount of coffee for each Filter as the
filter perforations have been constructed to
utilise the pressure in the machine to extract
optimal flavor with each brewing. (Refer to
The Grind on Page 21).
