EXPRESSO FUNCTION
The espresso is a strong coffee, with a characteristic taste, extremely rich in aroma. Therefore, the
water which arrives in the filter with a high temperature is pushed very fast through the coffee mass
by a strong pressure. It extracts the nectar from the grinding and draws the essential aromas from the

Use preferably a special espresso coffee with suitable roasting and grinding.
Remember that the espresso needs a finer grinding than the filter coffee.
BEFORE THE FIRST USE
When you use your appliance for the first time we recommend in order to wash the inner side of the
appliance circuit, you have to operate it three times as described in the section HOW TO PREPARE
AN EXPRESSO (WITHOUT COFFEE IN THE FILTER HOLDER).
HOW TO PREPARE AN EXPRESSO
1. Insert the plug in the power supply. Make sure that the espresso switch (b) is on the OFF
position.
2. Insert the filter (h) into the filter holder (g) (Fig.1). On the filters there are two marks (2 and 4
cups). Fill with ground espresso coffee until the desired level (Fig. 2).
3. Gently tamp the coffee into coffee filter and remove the excess coffee from the edge of filter
holder (g). This will ensure the good positioning of the filter holder in its support (f).
Do not tamp to 
(h).
4. Attention: Check that the filter locking device is as far as possible from the filter. Position the
filter holder (g) in the support of the filter holder (f). Turn firmly to the right until it blocks (Fig.
3). The filter holder (g) should be the most possible on the right of the closing zone. If the filter

operate your appliance, remove the filter holder (g) and position it again as here above described
until the filter holder in the closing zone is. This will avoid that the filter holder (g) comes out of
its housing as the pressure rises when the coffee is pouring.
5. Unscrew the cap of the tank (a) anticlockwise (Fig. 4).
6. Fill the carafe (j) with cold tap water until the desired level (2 or 4 cups) and pour in the
Espresso tank (Fig. 5).
Measures indication
On the carafe they are 3 marks:
Mark 2
Mark 4
Mark (steam)
The mark 2 corresponds to 2 espresso cups.
The mark 4 corresponds to 4 espresso cups.
The mark corresponds to 2 espresso cups + the necessary water quantity to produce steam for
the cappuccino preparation.
