Preparation of coffee

Please, check your system:ground,pod

or capsule.

Ground

Any type of coffee may be used. For

optimum results, we recommend using

special "espresso" coffee blends as they

provide a suitable grind. If the coffee

comes out either very quickly or very

slowly, the type of coffee should be

changed for another finer or thicker grind

and tamping of the coffee should be

varied according to our recommendatio

ns.

1-. Switch on the machine using the

main switch 0/1 and place the filterholder

(with the filter) into the group.
2-. Wait for the pilot light

to switch

off (approx. 1.5 minutes). This means

the coffee machine has reached the

ideal temperature.Press coffee switch

run out. Do this before making the coffee.

This will remove residue and balance

the temperature to create optimum wor

king conditions.

coffees according to requirements),

The filter must be filled to 3/4 of its

capacity, once pressed.(see picture )

have been deposited on the edges of

the filter basket so that it fits perfectly.

5-. Place the filter holder into the group
