Preparing one or two cups of espresso
Preparing one cup
1. Use one cup filter handle (with 1 spout)
2. Position the metal one cup filter basket firmly inside the filter holder
3. Pour one measuring spoon (app. 6,5-7 g) of ground espresso coffee into the filter
basket
4. Tamp the ground coffee gently using the tamper supplied with the machine
5. Tighten the filter holder firmly into the brewing head (Fig. A-6).
6. Pull the lever (Fig. A-9) completely upwards.
Hot coffee flows into the cups from the filter handle’s coffee spouts.
7. When the desired quantity of coffee (i.e. 25 cc/ 1 oz. for a typical espresso) has
been dispensed, position the lever (Fig. A-9) completely down to stop the coffee
dispensing process.
For safety reasons and to avoid personal injury it’s extremely important that the lever
(Fig. A-9) is positioned completely down and not just to the position where the coffee
stops to flow out and the pump’s noise can’t be heard any more.
Never leave lever (Fig. A-9) in the position as shown here below:
8. Remove the filter holder (Fig. A-7) from the machine and empty used coffee
grounds.
