BREWING AN ESPRESSO USING GROUND
COFFEE
The filter holder supplied features the "crema perfetta"
filter to prepare one or two coffees.
Warning! If the "crema perfetta" filter is used without
the frothing jet device, the machine will squirt out the
coffee, which may result in burns.
Note.
If you prefer to use the traditional filter (Fig.6/7),
remove both the "crema perfetta" filter (Fig.5) and the
frothing jet device (Fig.1-16).
