• Do not drop the product and do not expose it to any
major shocks.
Warning
• Caution! The espresso maker gets hot during operation.
There is a risk of injury. Avoid touching the surface of
the unit. Only touch the unit by the handle!
• The lid of the coffee container must not be opened
during the brewing process. Danger of scalding due to
escaping steam!
• The water tank may only be lled with water! Never
pour in milk, sugar, other liquids / ingredients!
4. Tip
• First, heat a little water in a separate pot or kettle. If you
put the coffee pot directly on the hob, you will overheat
the metal of the pot and the coffee may become bitter or
tasteless. Unfortunately, this also often results in a metallic
taste, because the pot releases avours when it is too hot.
• Fill the lower jug of the espresso maker with already
preheated - not boiling - water, but only to just below the
valve, otherwise the pressure cannot equalise via the valve.
• Fill the funnel to the brim with freshly ground coffee beans
or regular coffee powder. (If the coffee is home-ground,
please ensure that the grind is between that for ne
espresso and that for French press, and it is best to use a
machine with a disc or cone grinder). The coffee powder
should be evenly distributed up to the edge of the funnel
and can then be smoothed out. Press it only very lightly
with your nger! Never use an espresso tamper, otherwise
the pressure will be too high during the brewing process!
(If the coffee gets too strong, just reduce the amount of
coffee powder a little next time.)
• Now place the funnel insert on the bottom part.
• Screw the upper part rmly onto the lower part. Make sure
that no coffee powder causes the thread to dislodge.
• Now place the coffee pot on the hob over a medium
heat. If the heat is too high, the coffee burns and a bitter
aftertaste remains.
