This coffee maker has a high pressure pump system for
the finest taste and aroma. However, preparing espresso
coffee initially requires a little skill and patience. Take the time
to get to know your machine and the best method of making
espresso and cappuccino coffee.

You should sample and test a variety of different kinds
until you discover the brand of espresso which is just right for
you in terms of taste and fineness of grinding. If your retailer
does not stock your favourite kind, try to find one who
specialises in coffee beans. There you can get advice and even
have your coffee blended individually from different kinds.

The identifying features of espresso coffee are its strong
aromatic flavour and its typical ‘cream’. This requires the
water to be forced through the coffee at the right
temperature and under the right pressure.

Espresso differs from conventional coffee by its shorter
roasting time and the reduced length of time in which it is in
contact with water during preparation.

Espresso contains fewer irritants (e.g. tannic acids,
essential oils) and approx. 30% less caffeine than conventional
filter coffee. This makes it much kinder to your stomach in
spite of its stronger flavour.

If possible, use thick-sided pre-heated espresso/cappuccino
cups which keep hot longer. Add the sugar before pouring
espresso into the cup or simply shake some sugar briefly into
the cup, stirring just once or twice, otherwise too much flavour
escapes.

• Always use espresso (fine ground) coffee and lightly tamp
down the coffee into the filter.

• Set up and fill your machine as detailed.

• Move the jug up and down under the steam nozzle
ensuring that the nozzle opening is just under the surface
of the milk - this will give maximum froth.

• When the milk is frothy, close the steam control knob by
turning it clockwise.

• Always ensure the steam nozzle and steam pipe are clear
prior to and after use.

• It is best to keep espresso coffee in the fridge where it is
protected against light and air and keeps its flavour
longer.

• You should clean the appliance and put fresh water into
the reservoir before using it for the first time and if it has
not been used over a long period of time.

• Do not overfill the filter holder. Use the measuring spoon
supplied. One level spoonful is sufficient for one cup.

• We recommend that you use a half-litre stainless steel jug
to froth milk, but you can also use porcelain or ceramic
jugs.

• Do not switch the appliance off immediately after making
your last coffee. Let it continue operating for about
another minute to clear the rest of the water from the
system. You will hear a hissing sound as the steam
expands - this is perfectly normal.
Practice makes perfect and we’re sure you’ll be satisfied

with the results if you experiment a couple of times. If you
have any problems please call us on the helpline number and
we will be pleased to give you any help you require.

Enjoy your coffee.
