8. HOW TO MAKE ESPRESSO COFFEE
8.1 Tips for a hotter coee
For hotter espresso coee, you should:
• You are recommended to warm the cups before making
coee by rinsing them with a little hot water.
• Attach the lter holder to the appliance with the lter in
place but without adding coee. Using the same cup
as will later be used to make the coee, press the 1 cup
button and deliver hot water into the cup to heat it.
• Raise the coee temperature in the settings menu.
• Rest the cups you will be using on the cup warmer (A4)
which becomes hot during operation.
8.2 How to prepare espresso coee using pre-
ground coee
1. Place the ground coee lter (C2 or C3) in the lter holder
(g. 6). To make one coee, use the lter with the
symbol on the bottom, to make two coees, use the lter
with the symbol on the bottom.
2. To make just one coee, place one level measure of pre-
ground coee (about 7 g) in the lter (g. 7). To make two
coees, place two loosely lled measures (about 7+7 g) of
pre-ground coee in the lter. Fill the lter a little at a time
to prevent the pre-ground coee from overowing.
Important:
For correct operation, before lling with pre-ground coee,
make sure there are no coee residues left in the lter from the
last time you made coee.
3. Distribute the pre-ground coee evenly and press lightly
with the presser (g. 8).
Correct pressing of the pre-ground coee is essential to
obtain a good espresso. If you press too rmly, the coee
will be delivered slowly and will be strong. If you press
too lightly, the coee will be delivered quickly and will be
weak.
4. Remove any excess coee 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 coee buttons
are on, then press the or coee button. The
appliance proceeds to make the coee 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 coee. Always wait for a few seconds
after delivery.
8.3 How to make espresso coee 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 coee
to be prepared simply and cleanly.
1. Place the lter for coee 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 coee, delivery can be in-
terrupted at any moment by pressing the coee button
pressed previously.
• At the end of delivery (within 3 seconds), to increase the
amount of coee in the cup, press and hold the coee but-
