The type of ground
coffee that you use
will determine the
strength and taste of
your espresso: the
finer your coffee is
ground, the stronger
the espresso.
• Distribute the coffee evenly and remove the excess ground coffee from the edge
of the filter holder (fig. 9). Wipe away any excess coffee from the rim of the filter
holder to ensure a correct fit under the brew head. If there is too much coffee, the
flow of water may become blocked.
• Place the filter holder underneath the brew head and turn it towards the right
(fig. 3) until the desired compression of the ground coffee is reached. The more
it is compressed, the stronger the espresso.
• Place a cup on the grill of the drip tray under the brew head
(fig. 10).
• Turn the selector d1 to the position (coffee) (fig. 5).
• After a few moments, the coffee stars to flow.
• When your cup is as full as you want, move the selector d1 to the position "0" (fig. 6).
• Remove the cup.
• Release the filter holder: press the "EJECT" button lightly while turning the filter
holder towards the left and remove it from the appliance. Throw away the used
coffee using the ejection system by pressing the "EJECT" button on the handle
fully (fig. 11). Wash the filter holder under running water, while pressing the
"EJECT" button to eliminate the remains of ground coffee (see also paragraph
8.B for deeper cleaning).
To eliminate the pressure build up within the system, it is normal that at each time
the control selector dial d1 returns to the "0" position. At this position there water
and steam will be running, which may create some noise.
Once you have prepared your first espresso and the appliance is hot, you can keep
your cups at the right temperature
With an E.S.E Espresso Pod
• Before removing the water tank, remember to place the selector dial d1 in the
"0"position.
•
Fill the tank with cold water and securely fit it back into the appliance (fig. 7 and 8).
• Switch on the appliance by pressing the ON/OFF button d2.
• The LED flashes during preheating, once ready it, then remains lit. The appliance
is then ready for use.
For best results, we recommend warming up the accessories beforehand (filter
holder and cups) without adding any ground coffee. Proceed as follows:
• Fit the empty filter holder, and place the espresso cups underneath it. As soon
as the appliance has reached the right temperature, the orange LED stops
flashing.
• Press the 2 cup or 1 cup button according to what you desire.
• Once the cup(s) are filled with hot water, move the selector dial back to the "0"
position
• Release the filter holder by pressing the "EJECT" button lightly and turning it
towards the left
(fig. 1). If required, remove the paper around the pod following
the dotted lines (fig. 12). Place the E.S.E pod with the red writing facing
downwards (fold the corners of the filter paper back). Ensure that the paper is
placed inside the filter, otherwise this could cause it to leak.
For a creamier and thicker crema, the E.S.E pod must be positioned correctly. The
pod is designed to make one cup of coffee. The use of 2 E.S.E pods on top of one
another is not recommended.
• Insert the filter holder into the appliance tightening it by turning it towards the
right as far as possible
(fig. 3).
• To prepare your espresso, follow the same procedure as for the preparation of an
espresso with ground coffee.
"ESE" for "Easy
Serving Espresso"
is a pod (44 mm in
diameter) of 7g of
coffee that has been
selected, ground and
compacted between
two filter papers
especially designed to
make Italian style
espresso ("ristretto"
short coffee).
This system permits
easy, simple, clean
and comfortable use
of your machine.
