boiler A13 . In the boiler A13 , water is heated t o the optimal coffee brewing
temperature.
3. PRE-HEA TING THE APPLIANCE AND CUPS
3.1 Preparing aquality cup of espresso requires that the appliance, portafilter
A7, filter A17 or A18, and cups are preheated . This is done in the f ollowing
wa y.
3.2 P lace empty coffee cups upside down on to surface A1 and allow them to
warm up.
3.3 Select filter A17 or A18 and insert it into the por tafilter A7 so that it
securely slides in along the entire perimeter . Inser t the portafilter A7
underneath the brew head A6 so that the handle is pointing to the left.
This position is marked with “INSERT ” on the front panel of the appliance. T o
fasten the portafilter A7 to the brew head A6 , turn the handle to the right
to the “LOCK” position.
3.4 W ait until indicator A3 is lit, and set knob A12 again to the coffee brewing

amount of ground coffee in to the filter . The one-cup coffee filter A17 is
filled with a single level measuring cup A19 of coffee . The two-cup coffee
filter A18 is filled with double the amount of coffee. One lev el measuring
cup A19 is equivalent to 7 g of ground coffee. Spread the coff ee out evenly
inside the filter and gently tamp it down with the flat end of the measuring
cup A19 .

The indicator A3 will light up again as soon as the boiler A13 heats
the water up to the ideal coffee br ewing temperature.
Once the required amount of coff ee is in the cup, set the knob A12 to the
stand-by mode position. This completes the coffee extraction process. The
extraction time for acup of espresso should be between 20 and 30 seconds
