NOTE
: the espresso is about 30 ml/cup for single espresso and about 60 ml/cup for double
espresso. The extraction time is a good indicator of the quality of the discharge. The optimum
time per shot varies according to the type and freshness of the coffee beans. However, in
general, the pouring time should be between 20 ~ 35 seconds for both one-cup and two-cup
shots.
- After extraction, remove the used grindings. Rinse the filter and keep it clean to prevent
clogging. When there is no ground coffee left in the filter, lock the filter holder in the
machine and let hot water run to finish cleaning.

Espresso preparation
1. Heating the cup - hot water function
Place a cup on the table and insert the steamer. Turn the knob to the hot water position and
heat the cup after 20 ~ 30 seconds. You can also heat the cup on the top of the machine when
it is in the READY state (hotplate).
2. Head, filter holder and filter
- Hold the filter holder under the extraction head while the water is flowing. Clean the filter
with a dry cloth.
- Dose the filter with the ground coffee beans and press it evenly to the indicated level.
NOTE
: do not press too hard. Use the coffee presser lightly to avoid jamming the coffee
machine. If the coffee beans are too tight, the water cannot flow through the filter holder and
may cause blockages or leaks.
- Wipe off excess grindings to clear the edges.
- Hold the filter holder flat, align, insert, and rotate it into the extraction head. The filter
holder must be in the central position.
NOTE
: if the filter holder is not installed parallel to the machine, coffee will splash and drip
out of the hole.
3. Cup position
- Place the cup in the drip tray under the filter holder.
