Place the filter holder (ref.20) on the ring nut (15) making sure it locks into place: move the handle of the filter holder from left to right.
Place one or two coffee cups below the spout of the filter holder with the correct nozzle fitted. 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
dispensed press the coffee button (ref.4) a second time to stop the supply.
Remove cup(s) from the machine.
Remove the filter holder from the ring nut and
empty the used ground coffee from it.
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.
