quality grinders with ne espresso grinding capabilities.
They require optimal precision over grind size, dose and
tamping and are less forgiving than double wall lter
baskets.
Barista Tips: Expert baristas prefer to use single wall lter bas-
kets because they allow more control and precision over extrac-
tion, to create a full body espresso and richer avor.
Double wall lter baskets (A15a)
(A16a), also known as pressurized lter baskets, are rec-
ommended when using pre-ground coee, or when the
grind size is too coarse. They are easier to use, more forgiv-
ing and can help mask inconsistency in the user prepara-
tion such as incorrect grind size, dosing or tamping.
Barista Tips: If you are just at the beginning of your espresso
journey, we suggest starting with these baskets until you build
your expertise and feel comfortable to upgrade to the single
wall lter baskets.
• Fill the cup lter with ground coee using the measuring
scoop (A18). Make sure to use a ne grind, specically for
espresso coee.
Before lling the coee lter with ground coee, make
sure there is no coee residue left in the lter from the last
time a coee was made.
• Tap the portalter several times to distribute the coee
evenly in the cup lter.
• Press down rmly with the tamper (A11). Make sure the
coee is at the recommended dose level after tamping
(g. 9).

You may need to add some coee. Correct tamping of the
ground coee is essential to obtain a good espresso. If
tamped too rmly, the coee will be delivered slowly and
will be strong. If tamped too lightly, the coee will be de-
livered quickly and will be weak.
Barista Tips: Before inserting the portalter in the machine,
run a short ow of water through the coee spout (A7). This will
stabilize the temperature before the extraction.
• Remove any excess coee from the rim of the portalter
and attach the portalter to the machine (g. 5).
• Place one cup or two cups on the drip tray (A8) under the
portalter spouts. Use the small cup tray (A13) for smaller
cups.
3.1 Coee preparation temperature
The water temperature is controlled during the entire prepara-
tion process to ensure its stability during extraction. The ma-
chine has 3 infusion temperatures.
The temperature eectively utilized will typically depend on the
bean variety and the roast: Robusta beans require a lower tem-
perature, and Arabica beans a higher temperature. The same
applies for dark or light roasted beans respectively.
• Press the (B1) button to set the desired infusion tem-
perature level:

• Press the (B6) or (B5) button. The machine
will make the coee and delivery will automatically stop.
While the machine is making coee, delivery can be
stopped at any time by pressing the button previously
pressed.
• To remove the portalter, shift the handle from right to
left. To avoid splashes, never remove the portalter while
the machine is delivering coee. Always wait for a few sec-
onds after delivery.
Please note: It is recommended to warm the cups before mak-
ing coee:
Rinse them with a little hot water, or else attach the portalter
(A14) to the machine with the cup lter (A15), (A15a), (A16) or
(A16a) in place but without adding coee, using the same cup
that will be used to make the coee, then press the (B6)
button and deliver hot water into the cup to heat it.
3.2 Programming the quantities of coee in the cup
The machine is set by default to automatically deliver standard
quantities. To change these quantities, proceed as follows:
• Press the or button and hold for at least
3 seconds, until the indicator light for the selected drink
starts to blink, indicating that the machine is in program-
ming mode.
• The coee maker starts delivering coee.
