MAKING COFFEE WITH PODS
(E.S.E. system)
E.S.E stands for Easy Serving Espresso and is
•
the International standard for making coffee
using pods (a pod is a disposable single-use
portion of roasted coffee) and a suitable coffee
machine. The E.S.E. system is simple, practical
and ecological since no special maintenance is
required and nature is respected. Lastly, the
system is clean as the special wrapping
prevents spillage and is easily removed and
disposed of after use.
• The machine is designed for use with ground
coffee or pods: single-use disposable portions
of roasted coffee.
• Place the pod in the filter holder.
Position the filter holder (ref.20) on the ring nut
•
(ref.15) making sure it locks into place: move
the handle of the filter holder from left to right.
• Place a coffee cup below the spout of the filter
holder.
• When the red water temperature indicator light
(ref.9) goes out, press the coffee button (ref.4).

• Once the required quantity of coffee has been
supplied, press the coffee button a second time to
stop supply.
Remove cup(s) from the machine.
•
• Take the filter holder off the ring nut and dispose
of the used pod.
TIPS ON HOW TO PREPARE AN
EXCELLENT ESPRESSO COFFEE
• To make good espresso coffee, the cleanliness of
the machine and the right temperature are
fundamental.
• Make sure that the filter, the filter holder and the
ring nut are kept completely clean.
Unless you are away for long periods, keep the
•
machine turned on and the filter holder in the
ring nut to keep it hot.
• Heat the coffee cups by filling them with hot
water (press the coffee button). This also
eliminates some of the water left in the boiler as
well as heats the filter holder.
When you have finished using the machine clean
•
the filter holder by running the machine without
coffee. This method eliminates any residues
which could alter the flavour of the coffee the
next time you use the machine.
• For an excellent espresso, let the machine run for
20-25 seconds. The time required depends on the
texture of the ground coffee, the quantity of
coffee used and how firmly the coffee is pressed.
The machine is already calibrated to make good
quality coffee. If necessary the grinding texture
and the quantity of ground coffee dosed can be
adjusted (see paragraph "First Use") to obtain the
required strength and flavour.
HOT WATER
• Place the coffee cup below the steam spout
(ref.16), using the handle to move the spout so as
not to cause burns.
• Turn the steam knob (ref.1) anti-clockwise.
Press the hot water button (ref.5). Release the
•
button when you have the required amount of
hot water and close the steam knob (ref.1).
STEAM
• Steam is used to make cappuccino coffee (see
chapter "Recipes").
• Keep the steam button (ref.6) pressed and wait
until the red indicator light (ref.9) goes out.
• Place a receptacle beneath the steam spout and
slowly turn the steam knob (ref.1) anticlockwise.
When you have finished with the steam close
•
the steam knob by turning anti-clockwise
(ref.1) and press the steam button (ref.6).
• If the steam comes into contact with a cool
surface on the surrounding furniture or outside
of the appliance, e.g. a trim, it will condense
and produce water droplets. This is quite
normal and not caused by a fault with the
machine. To prevent discolouration, regularly
wipe away condensation from surfaces.
RECIPES
ITALIAN CAPPUCCINO
This is a normal espresso coffee with steam-heated
milk that gives the coffee a milder flavour and a
rich, frothy topping. Serve in a large cup.
Pour cold milk into a tall jug and heat it using the
steam spout if your machine has one. Add only the
froth to the espresso coffee, to do this either tilt the
jug slightly rocking it backwards and forwards
while you pour or use a spoon to scoop off the
froth.
You can also add a dusting of cocoa powder to
taste.

VIENNESE CAPPUCCINO
This variation is the result of age-old Austrian
tradition.
Prepare a 'long' espresso by letting the machine run
for longer than usual (30-35 seconds), add hot milk
followed by whipped cream. Serve in a mediumsized cup (midway between an espresso cup and a
cappuccino cup).
Decorate with flakes of chocolate.
COLD ESPRESSO SHAKE
Frothy and extremely refreshing, this makes a
pleasant drink on hot days.
Prepare an espresso coffee, add sugar and pour into
a cocktail shaker with large ice cubes. Shake for a
few seconds.
Serve in a tumbler or flûte.
IRISH COFFEE
Any energy-giving tonic.
Warm a tall glass and mix eight parts of hot coffee
with one part whisky and brown sugar.
Gently pour freshly whipped cream over the back of
a spoon so that it floats on the coffee: the result is a
layer of cool white cream on top of the hot dark
coffee.
MEXICAN COFFEE
Intense and exotic.
Mix together a portion of double cream, half a
teaspoon of cinnamon, a pinch of nutmeg and sugar
in a small cup and beat until it becomes frothy.
Place a teaspoon of chocolate syrup, a pinch of
cinnamon and the coffee into a medium-sized cup
and blend together.
Top with a teaspoon of vanilla-flavoured cream.
CAPPUCCINO ICE-CREAM
Heat 2 cups of espresso coffee, ¾ cup of single
cream and ½ cup sugar in a pan and bring to
boiling point.
Leave to cool before placing in the freezer for 4-5
hours.
Move to the refrigerator ½ hour before serving.
Serve two-three balls of the ice-cream in a small
bowl and decorate with roasted coffee beans.
CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE
EXTERNAL PARTS
Clean all the external parts of the machine with
•
a soft cloth wrung out in warm water with a
little washing up liquid. Do not use harsh
detergents.
• Do not clean steel surfaces with abrasive pads
or sponges or a high pressure washer.
• Use a non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner for
more stubborn markes.
• Dry thoroughly using a soft cloth.
DRIP TRAY
• Empty the drip tray (ref.25) regularly to avoid
the overflow of liquids which could soil and
damage the cupboards below the machine.
• Both the drip tray and the grid are dish-washer
proof.
FILTER/FILTER-HOLDER/RING NUT
The filters (ref. 21 and 22), the filter holder
•
(ref.20) and the ring nut (ref.15) should be kept
clean at all times. Any residual coffee may alter
the taste of the next coffee you make.
