Tips and Tricks for Perfect Coffee Enjoyment
For a successful espresso preparation, it is important to
consider a few things:
• The espresso machine must be preheated to operating
temperature.
• Preheat the cups with hot water. Place the cups on the
warm warming plate until use. Thick-walled porcelain
cups hold the heat well.
• Only use espresso beans. It is ideal to grind the es-
presso beans just before preparation. Coffee that has
already been ground quickly loses its aroma.
• The coffee grounds should be ground finely, but not too
finely. If ground too coarsely, the finished espresso lacks
aroma; if ground too finely, it tastes bitter.
Try different varieties until you find your taste.
• Compaction of the Coffee Grounds:
Depending on how firmly the ground coffee has been
pressed into the filter insert, the espresso results
(espresso quantity and crema) may vary. It is therefore
important to distribute and press the ground coffee prop-
erly in the filter insert so that the water can flow through
evenly at all points.
- The filter insert must be dry before the ground coffee
is poured in.
- Use the tamper provided to press on the coffee
grounds. Do not press too hard or too lightly.
- The pressed coffee grounds must have a flat surface.
- Press, do not turn! Turning while pressing loosens up
the "coffee cake" again. Press straight down and from
above on the coffee grounds.
To find the ideal "espresso experience" for you, we
recommend experimenting with the amount of coffee
grounds and how you press the coffee grounds down.
• For example, if you have just frothed milk, it is important
to hold the filter holder with the filter insert under cold
running water before the next espresso preparation to
cool these parts down.
It is also important to release the pressure and lower the
temperature of the water in the appliance. This is because
water that is too hot can "burn" the coffee grounds and the
espresso tastes bitter. To do this, proceed as follows:
1. Place a suitable container (heat-resistant / approx.
300 ml) under the steam nozzle.
2. Make sure that the two indicator lights for the cups are
lit. Unscrew the controller to position and release
the steam for approx. 5 – 10 seconds.
3. Press the button to pump cold water into the
appliance.
4. When only water without steam comes out of the
steam nozzle, press the button
the controller to position .

5. Wait until the two indicator lights for the cups light up.
Then the correct brewing temperature for your next
espresso has been reached.
Use of the Capsule Adapter
The appliance can only be operated with Nespresso-com-
patible capsules!
• Different brands of Nespresso-compatible capsules are
available in the shops. There are different types of cap-
sules from brand to brand and also within brands, which
produce different results due to different manufacturing.
This is not a defect of the appliance.
• The different roasts, from light to strong, can affect the
amount and flow of coffee. A slight drip is normal.
Assembly / Disassembly of the Filter Holder
• To fit the filter holder to the brew
head, hold it with the handle on
the left edge of the appliance.
Cause the guide lugs to fit into the
recesses on the brew head. Pull
the filter holder by the handle to
the right until it reaches the centre
of the appliance. Make sure that
the filter holder is firmly seated in
the brew head.
• To detach the filter holder from the brew head, pull it to
the left.
After the brewing process, the metal parts of the filter
holder and the filter insert are hot.
Inserting the Collection Container / Drip Grid
1. Insert the collection container for the residual water.
2. Place the drip grid on top of the collection container as
a cover.
Initial Start-up / Venting
CAUTION:
Especially before putting into operation for the first time
or if the appliance has not been used for a long time, the
appliance must be vented. Do not use coffee powder
during this procedure!
1. Remove the water tank by
pulling it out by the handle.
Fill the water tank with clean,
fresh water up to the MAX
mark.
2. Replace the water tank by first
inserting it at the bottom. Then
again. Then turn
press the top firmly until the water tank clicks into place.
