BREWING AN ESPRESSO USING GROUND
COFFEE
The fi lter holder supplied features the "crema perfetta"
fi lter to prepare one or two coff ees.
Warning! If the "crema perfetta" fi lter is used without
the frothing jet device, the machine will squirt out the
coff ee, which may result in burns.
Note.
If you prefer to use the traditional fi lter (Fig.6/7),
remove both the "crema perfetta" filter (Fig.5) and the
frothing jet device (Fig.1-16).
To brew the fi rst coff ee, it is necessary to preheat the fi lter
holder fi rst (Fig.1-17):
1. Insert the fi lter holder (Fig.1-17) into the brew unit
(Fig.1-8) with a 45° movement to the left and turn it
to the right to lock it in place. The fi lter holder handle
must be perpendicular to the machine or slightly
tilted towards the right.
2. Place a large cup under the fi lter holder (Fig.1-17) and
press the brew button (Fig.1-1)
3. After the cup of water has been fi lled (about 150cc),
press the brew button again and wait a few minutes
for the machine to reach the correct temperature with
the fi lter holder inserted.
Note. Any residual water inside the fi lter holder must be
removed before fi lling the fi lter with ground coff ee.
Continue preparing the espresso:
4. Remove the fi lter holder (Fig.1-17) and fi ll it with
ground coff ee using the measuring scoop provided
with the machine (Fig.1-20).
Add one measuring scoop of coff ee for each cup.
Note.
It is recommended to ask roasting companies for
fi nely ground coff ee suitable for use in coff ee machines or
to purchase it from large retailers.
5. Press the coff ee using the dedicated tamper (Fig.1-21).
The coff ee must be pressed evenly to obtain a well
levelled and fl at surface.
6. Remove any coff ee residues from the edge of the fi lter
holder (Fig.1-17).
7. Insert the fi lter holder (Fig.1-17) into the brew unit
(Fig.1-8) with a 45° movement to the left and turn it
to the right to lock it in place. The fi lter holder handle
must be perpendicular to the machine or slightly
tilted towards the right.
8. Wait until the indicator light turns on (Fig.1-5).
9. Press the brew button (Fig.1-1).
10. When the cups are 3/4 full, press the brew button
again (Fig.1-1).
The coff ee will be more or less intense depending on
the amount of water used and, if prepared following
the correct procedure, it will have the typical hazel-
nut/brown coloured "natural cream".
To brew another espresso, slowly and carefully remove
the fi lter holder, moving it to the left. Be careful not to
burn yourself with the water left on the coff ee grounds.
