HOW TO PREPARE ESPRESSO COFFEE USING THE  
PATENTED FILTER HOLDER FOR GROUND COFFEE  
1.After preheating the appliance as described in the  
previous section, place the ground coffee filter in the  
filter holder. Make sure the tab is correctly inserted  
in the slot as shown in fig. 7, otherwise you will not  
be able to attach the filter holder to the appliance.  
The appliance comes with two filters; the small filter  
should be used for one coffee and the large filter for  
two coffees.  
HOW TO MAKE ESPRESSO COFFEE  
FILLING THE WATER TANK  
Remove the water tank by pulling sideways and lifting  
the intake tubes out of the water (fig. 1).  
Rinse and fill with clean cold water (fig 2). Check the  
water level by viewing the floating ball. Replace the  
water tank in the housing, making sure the tubes are in  
the water.  
The water tank can also be filled by extracting it just  
enough to pour in water directly from a jug.  
2.To make a single coffee only, place one level measure  
of ground coffee, about 0.24 ounces (7 grams), in the  
filter (fig. 8). To prepare two coffees, place two loosely  
filled measures of ground coffee (0.42 ounces/6+6  
grams) in the filter. Fill the filter a little at a time to  
prevent the ground coffee from overflowing.  
IMPORTANT: to ensure correct operation, before  
placing the ground coffee in the filter holder, clean the  
filter of residues of ground coffee from the previous  
infusion.  
PREHEATING THE COFFEE UNIT  
To obtain espresso coffee at the right temperature, the  
coffee machine must be preheated. It is, therefore,  
recommended to press the ON/OFF button (fig. 3) at  
least 15 minutes before preparing the espresso,  
making sure the filter holder is attached to the  
appliance (check that the steam knob is closed).  
To attach the filter holder, position it under the boiler  
outlet with the handle towards the left (fig. 4), push it  
upwards while at the same time rotating the handle  
towards the right. Rotate firmly. Wait for 15 minutes,  
then make the coffee as described in the following  
section.  
Alternatively, you can preheat more rapidly by  
proceeding as follows:  
1.Press the ON/OFF button (fig. 3) and attach the filter  
holder to the appliance without adding ground  
coffee.  
2.Place a cup under the filter holder. Use the same cup  
as will be used to prepare the coffee in order to  
preheat it.  
3.Wait for the OK indicator light to come on (fig. 5),  
then immediately press the coffee button (fig. 6). Run  
the water off until the OK indicator light goes out,  
then interrupt delivery by pressing the coffee button  
again (fig. 6).  
4.Empty the cup, detach the filter holder and empty out  
the hot water.  
(It is normal for a small and harmless puff of steam to  
be emitted when removing the filter holder).  
3.Distribute the ground coffee evenly and tamp lightly  
with the tamper (fig. 9).  
Note: Correct tamping of the ground coffee is  
essential to obtain a good espresso. If tamping is  
excessive, espresso delivery will be slow and the  
crema will be dark. If tamping is too light, coffee  
delivery will be too rapid and the froth will be skimpy  
and light colored.  
4.Remove any excess coffee from the rim of the filter  
holder and attach to the appliance. Rotate firmly  
(fig. 4) to avoid water leaking out.  
5.Place the cup or cups under the filter holder spouts  
(fig. 10). It is recommended to heat the cups before  
making the coffee by rinsing them with a little hot  
water or placing them to warm on the cup storage  
tray for at least 15-20 minutes (fig. 26).  
6.Make sure the OK indicator light (fig. 5) is on (if it is  
off, wait until it comes on), then press the coffee  
button (fig. 6). Once the required quantity of  
espresso has been obtained, interrupt delivery by  
pressing the coffee button again (fig. 6).  
7.To remove the filter holder, rotate the handle from  
right to left.  
IMPORTANT: to avoid splashes, never remove the  
filter holder while the appliance is delivering  
espresso.  
8.To dispose of the used coffee, lock the filter in place  
using the lever incorporated in the handle then empty  
the grounds by turning the filter holder upside down  
and tapping (fig. 11).  
9.To turn the coffee machine off, press the ON/OFF

button (fig. 3).  
the cappuccino frother, giving the milk a creamy  
frothy appearance. To obtain a creamier froth, dip  
the cappuccino frother into the milk and rotate the  
container with slow movements from the bottom  
upwards.  
6.When the required temperature is reached  
(140°F/60°C is ideal), interrupt steam delivery by  
rotating the steam knob clockwise and at the same time  
pressing the steam button (fig. 13).  
7.Pour the frothed milk into the cups containing the  
espresso coffee prepared previously. The cappuccino  
is ready. Sweeten to taste and if desired, sprinkle the  
froth with a little cocoa powder.  
IMPORTANT: the first time the appliance is used, all  
accessories must be washed through by making at  
least five coffees without using ground coffee.  
HOW TO PREPARE ESPRESSO COFFEE USING PODS  
1.Preheat the appliance as described in the section  
"PREHEATING THE COFFEE UNIT", making sure the  
filter holder is attached.  
NOTE: use pods conforming to the ESE standard,  
indicated on the pack by the following symbol:  
Note: To prepare more than one cappuccino, first  
make all the espressos then at the end prepare the  
frothed milk for all the cappuccinos.  
The ESE standard is a system accepted by leading pod  
producers and enables espresso coffee to be prepared  
simply and cleanly.  
IMPORTANT: always clean the cappuccino frother  
after use. Proceed as follows:  
2.Place the small 1 cup ground coffee or pod filter in  
the filter holder, making sure the filter is correctly  
inserted in the slot as shown in fig. 7.  
3.Insert a pod, centering it as close as possible on the  
filter (fig. 12). Always follow the instructions on the  
pod packaging to position the pod on the filter  
correctly.  
1.Discharge a little steam for a few seconds by rotating  
the steam knob (fig. 16). This empties any milk left  
inside the steam tube.  
IMPORTANT: it is recommended to follow this  
procedure each time you make cappuccino to avoid  
milk stagnating in the steam tube.  
4.Attach the filter holder to the appliance. Always  
rotate as far as it will go (fig. 4).  
5.Proceed as in points 5, 6 and 7 in the previous  
section.  
2.With one hand, hold the steam tube firmly and with  
the other unscrew the cappuccino frother itself by  
rotating clockwise and pulling downwards (fig. 17).  
3.Remove the nozzle from the steam tube by pulling it  
downwards (fig. 18).  
HOW TO MAKE CAPPUCCINO  
4.Wash the cappuccino frother and steam nozzle  
thoroughly with warm water.  
1.Prepare the espresso coffees as described in the  
previous sections, using sufficiently large cups.  
2.Press the steam button (fig. 13) and wait for the  
steam indicator light to come on (fig. 13). The OK  
indicator light indicates that the boiler has reached  
the ideal temperature for steam production.  
3.In the meantime, fill a container with about 3.5  
ounces (100 grams) of milk for each cappuccino to  
be prepared. The milk must be at refrigerator  
temperature (not hot!). In choosing the size of the  
container, bear in mind that the milk increases in  
volume by 2 or 3 times.  
5.Make sure the two holes indicated by the arrows in fig.  
19 are not blocked. If necessary, clean with a pin.  
6.Replace the steam nozzle by inserting it onto the  
steam tube and rotating firmly towards the top of the  
tube.  
7.Replace the cappuccino frother by inserting it and  
rotating counter-clockwise.  
HOT WATER PRODUCTION  
1.Turn the appliance on by pressing the ON/OFF  
button (fig. 3). Wait until the OK indicator light  
comes on (fig. 5).  
2.Place a container under the cappuccino frother.  
3.Press the coffee button (fig. 6) and at the same time  
open the steam knob. Hot water is delivered from the  
cappuccino frother.  
NOTE: IT IS RECOMMENDED TO USE SKIM MILK AT  
REFRIGERATOR TEMPERATURE.  
4.Place the container with milk under the cappuccino  
frother.  
5.Dip the cappuccino frother into the container with  
milk (fig. 14), taking care not to immerse the raised  
line on the cappuccino frother (indicated by the  
arrow in fig. 15). Turn the steam knob at least a half  
turn counter-clockwise (fig. 16). Steam is given off by  
4.To interrupt delivery of hot water, close the steam knob  
by rotating clockwise and press the coffee button again  
(fig. 6).
