5. HOW TO MAKE ESPRESSO COFFEE
5.1 Tips for a hotter coffee
For hotter espresso coffee, you should:
•You are recommended to warm the cups before making coffee by rinsing them with a little hot water.
•Attach the filter holder to the appliance with the filter in place but without adding coffee. Using the same cup as will later be used to make the coffee, press the 1 cup button and deliver hot water into the cup to heat it.
•Raise the coffee temperature in the settings menu.
16
•Rest the cups you will be using on the cup warmer (A4) which becomes hot during operation.
5.2How to prepare espresso coffee using pre-
ground coffee
1.Place the ground coffee filter (C2 or C3) in the filter holder (fig. 6). To make one coffee, use the filter with the symbol on the bottom, to make two coffees, use the filter
with the |
symbol on the bottom. |
2.To make just one coffee, place one level measure of preground coffee (about 7 g) in the filter (fig. 7). To make two coffees, place two loosely filled measures (about 7+7 g) of pre-ground coffee in the filter. Fill the filter a little at a time to prevent the pre-ground coffee from overflowing.
Important:
For correct operation, before filling with pre-ground coffee, make sure there are no coffee residues left in the filter from the last time you made coffee.
3.Distribute the pre-ground coffee evenly and press lightly with the tamper (fig. 8).
Correct pressing of the pre-ground coffee is essential to obtain a good espresso. If you press too firmly, the coffee will be delivered slowly and will be strong. If you press too lightly, the coffee will be delivered quickly and will be weak.
4.Remove any excess coffee from the rim of the filter holder and attach the filter holder to the appliance. To attach correctly, align the filter holder handle with the INSERT symbol (fig. 9), attach the filter holder and rotate the handle towards the right until aligned with the CLOSE symbol.
5.Place the cup or cups under the filter holder spouts (fig. 10).
6.Make sure the lights corresponding to the coffee buttons
are on, then press the or coffee button. The appliance proceeds to make the coffee and delivery is interrupted automatically.
7.To remove the filter holder, turn the handle from right to left.
Danger of burns!
To avoid splashes, never remove the filter holder while the appliance is delivering coffee. Always wait for a few seconds after delivery.
5.3How to make espresso coffee using pods
Please note:
Use pods conforming to the ESE standard, indicated on the pack by the following symbol.
The ESE standard is a system accepted by lead- ing pod producers and enables espresso coffee to be prepared simply and cleanly.
1. |
Place the filter for coffee pods (with the |
symbol on |
|
the bottom) in the filter holder. |
|
2. |
Insert the pod, centring it as far as possible on the filter |
|
|
(fig. 11). Always follow the instructions on the pod pack to |
|
|
position the pod on the filter correctly. |
|
Proceed as described in points 4 to 6 in the previous section.
Please note:
•While the appliance is making coffee, delivery can be interrupted at any moment by pressing the coffee button pressed previously.
•At the end of delivery (within 3 seconds), to increase the amount of coffee in the cup, press and hold the coffee button pressed previously. Delivery is automatically interrupted after a few seconds.
•To remove the filter holder, turn the handle from right to left.
Danger of burns!
To avoid splashes, never remove the filter holder while the appliance is delivering coffee. Always wait for a few seconds after delivery.
