- Press the coffee button. The machine will pump water into the cup, heating all parts that
are going to be in contact with coffee. Press the button again when the cup is full to stop
brewing. The light indicator will blink again until the product stops preheating.
Preparing Espresso coffee
- After preheating, remove the portafilter from the main body by turning it clockwise. Use a
dry cloth to dry it. Fill the filter with ground coffee using the measuring spoon and press it
tightly with the opposite side of the spoon.
- Then, insert the portafilter into the appliance, matching the shape of the filter holder and
the shape of the water outlet. Turn it counterclockwise until the handle is aligned with the
"lock" mark on the appliance. Make sure the steam knob is in the off position.
- Pour out hot water in the cup and place the hot cup on the removable grille.
- Once the light indicator stops blinking, press the coffee button for coffee to start flowing into
the cup. Press the button again to stop brewing coffee once you get the desired amount of drink.
Warning
Do not leave the coffee machine unattended while in use, as you need to stop it manually.
- When coffee is ready, remove the portafilter by turning it clockwise. Throw away the
coffee residues by pressing the filter with the filter fastener and turning it upside down
over an appropriate waste container.
- Let all parts cool down and rinse them with water.
Frothing milk
- Prepare an espresso as indicated in the previous section; make sure that the steam knob
is in the off position.
- Press the steam button and wait until the light indicator stops blinking.
- Fill a jug with about 100 ml of milk for each cappuccino you want to prepare. It is
recommended to use cold whole milk for optimal results.
Note
Use a jug with a diameter greater than 70±5 mm, and bear in mind milk doubles in volume
during this process. Make sure the jug is high enough.
- Slowly turn the steam knob counterclockwise. Steam will come out from the steam outlet.
Note
Do not turn the steam knob quickly, as accumulating an excessive amount of steam in a short
period of time could be dangerous.

milk remaining inside the tube.
