TIPS ON HOW TO PREPARE AN
EXCELLENT ESPRESSO COFFEE
• To make a 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 perfectly 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).
• 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 the receptacle beneath the steam
spout and slowly turn the steam knob
(ref.1) anti-clockwise.
• When you have finished with the steam
close the steam knob (ref.1) and press the
steam button (ref.6).

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 medium-sized cup (midway
between and espresso cup and a cappuccino
cup).
Decorate with flakes of chocolate.
