5. HOW TO MAKE ESPRESSO COFFEE
5.1 Tips for a hotter coee
For hotter espresso coee, you should:
• You are recommended to warm the cups before making
coee by rinsing them with a little hot water.
• Attach the lter holder to the appliance with the lter in
place but without adding coee. Using the same cup
as will later be used to make the coee, press the 1 cup
button and deliver hot water into the cup to heat it.
• Raise the coee temperature in the settings menu.
17
• Rest the cups you will be using on the cup warmer (A4)
which becomes hot during operation.
5.2 How to prepare espresso coee using pre-
ground coee
1. Place the ground coee lter (C2 or C3) in the lter holder
(g. 6). To make one coee, use the lter with the
symbol on the bottom, to make two coees, use the lter
with the symbol on the bottom.
2. To make just one coee, place one level measure of pre-
ground coee (about 7 g) in the lter (g. 7). To make two
coees, place two loosely lled measures (about 7+7 g) of
pre-ground coee in the lter. Fill the lter a little at a time
to prevent the pre-ground coee from overowing.
Important:
For correct operation, before lling with pre-ground coee,
make sure there are no coee residues left in the lter from the
last time you made coee.
3. Distribute the pre-ground coee evenly and press lightly
with the presser (g. 8).
Correct pressing of the pre-ground coee is essential to
obtain a good espresso. If you press too rmly, the coee
will be delivered slowly and will be strong. If you press
too lightly, the coee will be delivered quickly and will be
weak.
4. Remove any excess coee from the rim of the lter holder
and attach the lter holder to the appliance. To attach cor-
rectly, align the lter holder handle with the INSERT sym-
bol (g. 9), attach the lter holder and rotate the handle
towards the right until aligned with the CLOSE symbol.
5. Place the cup or cups under the lter holder spouts (g.
10).
6. Make sure the lights corresponding to the coee buttons
are on, then press the or coee button. The
appliance proceeds to make the coee and delivery is in-
terrupted automatically.
7. To remove the lter holder, turn the handle from right to
left.
Danger of burns!
To avoid splashes, never remove the lter holder while the
appliance is delivering coee. Always wait for a few seconds
after delivery.
5.3 How to make espresso coee using pods
Please note:
Use pods conforming to the ESE standard, indicated on the pack
by the following symbol.
The ESE standard is a system accepted by lead-
ing pod producers and enables espresso coee
to be prepared simply and cleanly.
1. Place the lter for coee pods (with the symbol on
the bottom) in the lter holder.
2. Insert the pod, centring it as far as possible on the lter
(g. 11). Always follow the instructions on the pod pack to
position the pod on the lter correctly.
Proceed as described in points 4 to 6 in the previous section.
Please note:
• While the appliance is making coee, delivery can be in-
terrupted at any moment by pressing the coee button
pressed previously.
• At the end of delivery (within 3 seconds), to increase the
amount of coee in the cup, press and hold the coee but-
ton pressed previously. Delivery is automatically interrupt-
ed after a few seconds.
• To remove the lter holder, turn the handle from right to
left.
Danger of burns!
To avoid splashes, never remove the lter holder while the
appliance is delivering coee. Always wait for a few seconds
after delivery.
5.4 Programming the quantities of coee in
the cup
The appliance is set by default to automatically deliver standard
quantities. To change these quantities, proceed as follows:
1.
Place one or two cups under the lter holder spouts.
2. Press and hold the button you want to programme (
or ). The coee maker starts delivering coee and
the other coee button ashes to indicate that the appli-
ance is in programming mode.
3. Once the required quantity of coee has been delivered
into the cup, release the button. Delivery stops and the
light ashes to indicate that the quantity has been saved
correctly.
4. When the two coee lights come on steadily, the appliance
is ready for use.
6. HOW TO MAKE CAPPUCCINO
1. Prepare the espresso coees as described in the previous
sections, using suciently large cups. To use tall glasses,
remove the drip tray and stand the glasses on the glasses
tray (A10);
18
2. Press the button (g. 12). The light ashes;
3. In the meantime, ll a recipient with about 100 grams of
milk for each cappuccino to be prepared. For a denser more
even froth, you must use skimmed or partially skimmed
milk at refrigerator temperature (about 5°C). In choosing
the size of the recipient, bear in mind that the milk doubles
or triples in volume (g. 13).
4. Make sure the cappuccino maker selection ring (A14) is in
the "CAPPUCCINO" position (g. 14);
5. Wait for the light corresponding to the button to
come on steadily, indicating that the boiler has reached
the ideal temperature to produce steam.
6. Position an empty container under the cappuccino maker
and open the dial for a few seconds to eliminate any air left
in the circuit. Close the dial again.
7. Place the recipient containing the milk under the cappucci-
no maker.
8. Immerse the cappuccino maker in the milk container.
Never immerse the black ring (g. 15). Turn the dial to the
position. Steam is delivered from the cappuccino
maker, giving the milk a creamy frothy appearance (g.
16). To obtain a creamier froth, immerse the cappuccino
maker in the milk and rotate the container with slow up-
ward movements.
9. When the required temperature (the ideal is 60°C) and
froth density is reached, interrupt steam delivery by turn-
ing the steam dial clockwise.
10. Pour the frothed milk into the cups containing the espresso
coee prepared previously. The cappuccino is ready. Sweet-
en to taste and if desired, sprinkle the froth with a little
cocoa powder.
Please note:
• to prepare more than one cappuccino, rst make all the
coees then at the end prepare the frothed milk for all the
cappuccinos;
• to exit the steam function, press any button. The
and lights ash to indicate that the temperature is
too high to make coee (see section "Cooling the boiler”).
You should not deliver steam for more than
60 seconds.
7. MAKING HOT MILK
To make hot milk without froth, proceed as described in the
above section, making sure the cappuccino maker selection
ring (A14) is positioned upwards in the "HOT MILK" position.
8. CLEANING THE CAPPUCCINO MAKER
AFTER
USE
Important:
For hygiene reasons, the cappuccino maker should always be
cleaned after use.
Proceed as follows:
1. Turn the steam dial to deliver a little steam for a few sec-
onds (points 2, 5 and 6 of the previous section). This caus-
es the cappuccino maker to discharge any milk left inside.
Press the ON/OFF button to turn the appliance o.
2. Wait a few minutes for the cappuccino maker to cool down.
With one hand, hold the cappuccino maker tube rmly,

5. Replace the nozzle, move the ring downwards and put the
cappuccino maker back on the connection nozzle, turning
it and pushing it upwards until it is attached.
9. COOLING THE BOILER
To make coee again immediately after frothing milk, the boil-
er must rst be cooled or the coee will be burnt. Proceed as
follows:
• place a container under the cappuccino maker;
• open the steam dial to deliver hot water and cool the
boiler;
• hot water delivery is interrupted automatically when the
boiler is cool. When the pump stops operating and no more
water is delivered, close the steam dial.
The coee maker is now ready for use.
10. HOT WATER
1. Press the ON/OFF button (g. 3) to turn the appliance on.
