AFTER BREWING
13
Turn the filter holder (E) to the left and remove it from the brew head.
14
Empty the used coffee from the filter (H). When emptying, hold the filter by
pressing the filter lock (F) with a thumb.
Tip: After each use of the espresso machine, we recommend that brew head is
rinsed with a small amount of water. This will wash off the used coffee which has
stuck to the bottom part of the brew head. To do this, simply turn the regulator knob
into the espresso position
and run a short flow of water.
Frothing milk (description)
The steam function is used for frothing milk. Steam performs two functions. Firstly,
it warms milk. Secondly, it mixes milk with air which gives it a delicate, smooth
appearance.
As is the case with brewing coffee, the best results with frothing milk are achieved
with time as the user gains experience.
Tip: Remember that coffee is the basis of all coffee beverages, and milk is only an
addition.
Notice: It is recommended that espresso is prepared first, and milk is frothed
afterwards.
Before the milk frothing process, check that the espresso machine is in the steam
mode, that is that button
(M) is pushed in (the on/off pilot light is illuminated (L)),
and the hot water/steam button
standby mode light (N) is not illuminated (10) (11)).
1
Check if there is cold water in the tank. If there is no or little water, fill up the tank
with cold water (1).
2
Determine the amount of milk needed based on the number of cups of coffee
brewed or on the size of the milk jug.
Tip: Remember that the volume of milk increases during frothing.
3
Pour cold, cooled down milk into a stainless steel jug filling it up to 1/2 or 2/3 of
its capacity (14).
Tip: Store a stainless steel jug with milk in a fridge so that the milk is well cooled
down. Remember not to rinse the jug with warm water before use.
4
Rinse the steam wand (C) by placing a dish under it (C) and by turning the
regulator knob (K) into the steam position
regulator knob (K) into position 0 (13).
5
Move the steam wand (C) to the side of the appliance and attach the milk
frothing attachment (D) onto the steam wand (C).
6
Immerse the steam wand in milk so that the wand is about 1/2 cm below the
surface and activate steam dosing by turning the regulator knob (K) into position
(15) (16).
7
Hold the frothing jug at an angle so that the steam wand sits in the jug and lower
the jug until the end of the steam wand is immersed just below the surface of milk.
This will start the milk frothing process.
Warning: Do not allow an uneven outflow of steam, or the froth will not be properly
aired. To avoid it, lift the jug so that the steam wand is deeper immersed in milk.
Remember that the ideal texture of milk is soft, smooth froth.
Sample espresso recipes
ESPRESSO (SHORT BLACK)
Espresso is a strong concentrated coffee with a layer of foam on the surface known as "crema" (a layer of brown foam). Espresso is the basis
of all coffee beverages. Its varieties are obtained by adding different amounts of milk and froth.
● Prepare a glass 90 ml espresso cup or a small coffee cup.
● Pour in a single espresso (30–35 ml).
LONG BLACK
Standard espresso with the addition of hot water, served in a regular coffee cup or in a mug. Hot water is added first so that the layer of
"crema" is kept.
● Prepare a 190 ml cup.
● Pour in a single or double espresso.
● Add hot water to taste.
(B) is in the "pushed in" position
(12). Turn off the steam by turning the
8
The moment the milk has warmed up and frothed, the level of milk in the jug
will start rising. If this happens, start lowering the jug but always keep the end of the
steam wand immersed just under the milk surface.
9
The moment froth has been obtained, lift the jug so that the steam wand is in
the middle of milk.
Tip: The amount of froth required will change depending on the type of beverage
prepared. E.g. a cappuccino requires more froth than a coffee beverage on the basis
of an espresso served with steam frothed milk.
10
Immediately after milk has been warmed up to 60-65°C, turn off the steam by
turning the regulator knob (K) into position 0 (17).
Tip: If you do not have a thermometer, a good indication of reaching the right
temperature is if you cannot keep a hand against the jar for longer than 3 seconds.
Important: Do not boil the milk.
11
Remove the jug and take the frothing attachment (D) off the steam wand (C).
After each use, clean the wand in warm water with the addition of washing-up liquid.
Clear all its outlets. Promptly wipe the steam wand (C) and its end with a clean
damp cloth and rinse with a small amount of steam.
12
Holding the jug in one hand tap it lightly on the table so as to release air
bubbles and then move the jug in a circular motion until milk gets shiny and there
are no bubbles in it. This will help obtain a uniform texture of milk and froth.
Using the hot water function
(the
The hot water function is perfect for preparing the long black drink (espresso
diluted with hot water), hot chocolate and for filling a coffee plunger or a tea pot.
Warning: Before using the hot water function, check that the milk frothing
attachment (D) has been taken off the steam wand (C).
1
Fill up the water tank with cold water (1).
Turn on the espresso machine (3). It is important that the espresso machine is in
the hot water mode when using the hot water function, which means that button
is pushed in (M) (the on/off pilot light is illuminated (L)), and the hot water/steam
button
(B) is in the "pushed out" position
(N) is not illuminated) (18) (19).
2
Place a cup or a dish under the steam/hot water wand and activate the hot
water function by turning the regulator knob (K) into position
standby light (N) is illuminated during this process.
3
The moment the cup or dish has been filled with the desired amount of hot
water, close the hot water by turning the regulator knob (K) into position 0 (22).
4
Take out the cup or dish and leave the steam wand (C) over the drip tray (I).

The coffee makers will turn off after 30 minutes of inactivity, while the power switch
is pressed. To continue to use the coffee maker, depress the power switch and press
it again.
