n Once the cup or cups are filled, unlock the filter holder press "OPEN" while turning the filter holder to
the left and remove it from the machine (fig. 10).
n Remove the used espresso coffee grounds using the ejection system by pressing the "EJECT" button
located between the two coffee outlet nozzles (fig.11). Wash the filter under running water, pressing
"EJECT" to eliminate the remnants of grounds.
The filter holder can now be filled again to prepare other espressos.
Note: It is always possible to stop the coffee flowing by pressing the "1 cup" or "2 cups" button again.
IMPORTANT: If you want a strong or light espresso, vary the amount of coffee or water (a full
spoon for a strong espresso and a less full spoon for a light espresso). But in both cases, be
sure to tighten your filter holder as much as possible.
WITH AN "E.S.E." ESPRESSO POD
"ESE" for "Easy Serving Espresso" is a packaged pod (44 mm diameter) of 7g of selected
coffee, ground and compacted between two paper filters, specially designed to make Italian
style ristretto (tight) espressos.
This system allows for simple and clean use of your machine.
n Fill the water tank and turn the machine on (fig. 1, 2, 3 and 4). During the pre-heating phase, the
indicator light will flash.
n If necessary, tear the excess pre-cut paper off the pod, put the E.S.E. pod in the filter holder, with the
red writing facing down, if any (fig.6).
n Be sure to place all the paper inside the filter holder, otherwise there might be leaks.
n If the pod is not positioned correctly, the result in the cup will not be satisfactory.
n Never use two pods together.
n Then, follow steps of pictures 7 to 11 for preparing an espresso.
n NB: Once you have obtained the sufficient amount of coffee, you can stop the flow at any time by
pressing the "1 cup" button (fig.8).
WITH A SOFT POD
Your machine is also compatible with soft pods, which are usually smaller in diameter than
E.S.E. pods. However since soft pods are not specifically designed for use with espresso
machines, you will get a less flavorful espresso than with an E.S.E. pod.
n Fill the water tank and turn the machine on (fig. 1, 2, 3 and 4). During the pre-heating phase, the
indicator light will flash.
n Place a soft pod in the filter holder. Never use two pods together.
n Be sure to place all the paper inside the filter holder, otherwise there might be leaks. If the pod
is not positioned correctly, the result in the cup will not be satisfactory.
n Then, follow steps of pictures 7 to 11.
NB: Once you have obtained the sufficient amount of coffee, you can stop the flow at any time by pressing
the "1 cup" button (fig.8).
INDIVIDUAL PROGRAMMING OF THE VOLUME OF WATER DISPENSED
To change the pre-programmed amount of water (50 ml per cup is the factory setting), proceed as follows:
n Fill the water tank and turn the machine on (fig. 1, 2, 3 and 4).
n Put a spoonful of coffee in the filter by using a measuring spoon or use an E.S.E. or soft pod.
n Put the filter holder in place and lock it by turning it to the right as far as it will go, up to the stop (fig. 7).
n Place a cup under the filter holder.
n Hold down the "1 cup" button (> 3 sec) until the "1 cup" light flashes quickly. The coffee flows out.
n When the desired amount of espresso is obtained, press the "1 cup" button. This amount will be saved
automatically.
n The next time when you press the "1 cup" button, you will obtain the most recently recorded amount.
Programming for 2 cups uses the same method, by pressing the "2 cups" button (> 3 sec).
