- Close the steam tap knob then remove the container with the heated drink, afterwards open again the steam tap knob for a moment to
purge the nozzle from any liquid inside it.
This operation is very important as it prevents milk or other liquids from being drawn into the boiler.
HOW TO MAKE A GOOD CUP OF COFFEE
The physical state of the ground coffee is fundamental for a good beverage.
Condition of the coffee
It comes out slowly
It comes out rapidly
Dose of ground coffee Excessive Insufficient
Pressure on ground coffee Excessive Insufficient
Atmospheric humidity Too damp Too dry
Degree of grinder Too fine Too coarse
Filter condition Partly clogged, dirty Holes enlarged by wear
Proceed with preparation of the first cups of coffee: Fill the filter with the correct quantity of ground coffee and press it lightly the special
presser.
The machine is equipped with following components:
6-grams basket filter for single cup
7-grams basket filter for single cup
14-grams basket filter for double cup
Dosage and grinding must be set according to the machine and strength of coffee desired. If too much coffee is used, the filter holder
cannot be inserted in to the unit; if too little coffee is used, the coffee grounds get too wet.
For a perfect cup of coffee, it is advisable to have a self-dosing coffee grinder beside the machine. This will give improved quality of the
coffee, and ensure it is kept constant because it is freshly ground.
Fit the filter holder into the unit with the knob facing to the left, then turn in to the right until it locks.
When the coffee grounds have to be emptied out, knock the filters against a wooden surface and not a metal one as this could damage
the edge of the filter and jeopardise its tightness.
