Observe the following instructions to make
an aromatic espresso or coffee at just the
right temperature.
Preheat your cups on the hotplate.
‹
— MAX —
Rinse out cold cups with hot water to pre-
‹
heat them before use.
Fill the water tank with fresh water.
‹
After heating up the appliance, allow hot
‹
water to run through the strainer insert and
holder.
Leave the empty, cleaned screen insert
‹
with screen carrier in the hot appliance to
heat up.
Experiment with the amount of coffee
‹
powder until you find the flavour you prefer.
As a general rule, add approx. 7 grammes of
coffee powder for one cup of coffee/espresso
and approx. 14 grammes of coffee powder
for one large cup of coffee or two cups of
po-
espresso.
Try various different levels of grinding
‹
fineness for the coffee powder. The grinding
fineness has an influence on the aroma and
the cream of the espresso.
If possible, use freshly ground coffee
‹
powder to assure optimum flavour.
Press in the coffee powder lightly. If the
‹
coffee powder is pressed too firmly, it may
become bitter and the percolation time in-
creases.
Empty and clean the strainer insert after
‹
each use.
Clean and descale the appliance at regu-
‹
lar intervals. A dirty and/or scaled appliance
impairs the aroma.
1. Open the lid of the tank (18).
2. Lift out the water tank (17) using the black
handle.
3. Pour water up to the MAX marking.
