l
Insert the filter single or double, into the filter holder
(IO), photo
l
Fill the filter (15) with one (or two) measuring spoon(s) of
coffee, according to the required number of coffees, photo
l
Press the coffee with the press (13) provided, and clean the
filter brim of coffee residues, photo G.
l
Install the filter holder (10) into its housing under the group
(11); with the other hand hold the lever (1) handle, in order
to keep the machine steady, and turn the filter holder from
right to left to
lock
it into the group, photo H.
l
Raise the lever (1) upright (while holding the filter holder
handle with the other hand, in order to keep the machine
steady), and keep it in this position for some seconds until
the first drops of coffee come out. Then pull it down com-
pletely. Repeat this operation according to the desired cof-
fee quantity, photo I.
In order to obtain an even coffee flow, the force applied to
the lever must be proportional to the resistance encounte-
red along its stroke.
l
If a weaker coffee is wanted, raise and lower the lever as
required to suit your taste.
l
When you have finished making coffee, leave the lever (1)
in its lower position (rest position), to prevent water remai-
ning in the boiler flowing out of the group (1 1). Then swit-
ch off the machine.
l
Warning: after making a coffee, do not remove the filter
holder immediately: wait some seconds, until there is no
more pressure between the filter and the group shower.
Such pressure may cause the rubber gasket to spring out,
or a coffee residue to spray out off the filter. Remove the fil-
ter holder (10) from the group (1 1) slowly, turning from left
to right, and under a slight pressure downwards, in order
to release any residual pressure.
