Espresso Machine

Preparing Espresso

NOTICE

If, before starting to make the espresso, you have taken hot steam from the ►

machine, we recommend you draw a little hot water before commencing

with the espr

esso preparation. If you do not, it may be that the coﬀ ee tastes

burnt. Hold an empty cup under the milk frother z. Turn the steam control

knob 2 in the direction "+". Turn the function rotary knob 5 to the posi-

tion "

" so that hot water ﬂ ows out of the nozzle. Wait a few seconds

before turning the function rotary knob 5 back to to the position " ".

Then turn the steam control knob 2 back to closed (in the direction "-").

NOTICE

Always ensure that the espresso sieve ► 0 q is clean and fr

ee of coﬀ ee

powder residues.

When the appliance is heated-up: 1)

To prepare an espresso, place the small espresso sieve 0 in the

sieve carrier w.

To prepare two espressos, place the large espresso sieve q in the

sieve carrier w.

Fill the small espresso sieve 2) 0 to the max marking with espresso powder.

This equates to approx. 7g of powder or a levelled measuring spoon 9.

or...

Fill the large espresso sieve q to the max marking with espresso powder. This

equates to about 7g + 7g of powder or two levelled measuring spoons 9.

Tamp the espresso powder down with the help of the compactor on the 3)

measuring spoon 9 or on the appliance 6. Then, if necessary, ﬁ ll it with

more espresso powder, until the espresso sieb 0 q is full up to the Max

marking. Tamp the coﬀ ee powder down once again.

NOTICE

Compaction of the coﬀ ee powder is an essential process for the prepara- ►

tion of an espresso. If the espresso powder is compacted very strongly, the

espr

esso runs through more slowly and there is more crema. If the espresso

powder is not so strongly compacted, the espresso runs through more

quickly and it creates very little crema.
