HOW TO PREPARE COFFEE USING THE FILTER

HOLDER FOR PODS (if fitted)

1.Preheat the machine as described in the ‘Preheating

the Coffee Machine’ section, making sure to leave

the filter holder attached to the unit. Following this

procedure ensures that the coffee is delivered at a

hotter temperature.

2.Press the filter holder button and insert the pod into

the filter (fig 12). Always follow the instructions on

the package of the wafers for the correct positioning

of the wafer in the filter.

Note: Use pods which conform to the ESE standard:

this will be indicated on the packaging by the following

symbol:

The ESE standard is a system accepted by the leading

coffee pod manufacturers, and allows espresso coffee

to be prepared simply and without any mess.

3.Attach the filter holder onto the machine, moving

from left to right (fig 4).

Note: to ensure effective closure and avoid leaks of

water from the rim of the filter holder, you are

recommended to grease the bottom of the lateral tabs

from time to time with butter or oil (as shown in fig.

13).

IMPORTANT: Should the coffee holder for pods be

used after one for ground coffee, it’s necessary to

clear the ground coffee remained in the espresso

boiler outlet (fig. 13). This cleaning operation is

necessary in order to avoid water leackeges from

the coffe holder for pods whele coffee is being

preposed.

4.Proceed as in points 4, 5 and 6 of the previous

paragraph (how to prepare espresso coffee using the

filter holder for ground coffee).

5.To remove the pod, press the button on the filter

holder and simply lift the pod out

6.To turn off the coffee maker, press the ON/OFF

switch (fig. 3).

USING THE PRESSURE GAUGE (if fitted)

In order to obtain a good espresso coffee, it is

necessary that the delivery take place with the boiler at

its optimum pressure. This pressure is attained when the

pointer of the pressure gauge is within the grey-

coloured section (fig. 13).

HOW TO MAKE CAPPUCCINO

1.Prepare espresso coffee, using cups that are large

enough for cappuccinos

2.Press the steam switch (fig. 16) and wait until the

“OK” light comes on (fig. 5) to indicate that the

boiler has reached the ideal temperature for

producing steam.

3.In the meantime, fill a container with approximately

100 gr. of milk for each cappuccino to be prepared.

The milk must be cold from the refrigerator (not

warm!). In choosing the container, bear in mind that

the volume of the milk will increase by 2 or 3 times.

NOTE: We suggest you used semi-skimed milk at

refrigerator temperature.

4.Position the container with the milk in it under the

milk frother (fig 18).

5.Immerse the cappuccino maker nozzle about 5 mm

deep into the milk and turn the steam knob in an

anti-clockwise direction (fig. 18) (by turning the knob

to a greater or lesser extent, it is possible to vary the

quantity of steam that comes out from the cappuccino

maker). At this point, the milk will begin to increase

in volume and to appear frothy.

6.When the volume of the milk has doubled, fully

immerse the milk frother and continue heating the

milk (Fig. 19). Once the desired temperature has

been reached (the ideal temperature is 60°C), stop

the delivery of steam by turning the steam knob in a

clockwise direction and at the same timepressing the

steam knob (fig. 16).

7.Pour the frothed milk into the cups containing the

espresso coffee. Your cappuccino is now ready. Add

sugar to taste and, if desired, sprinkle a little

powdered chocolate on top of the froth.

Note: to prepare more than one cappuccino, first

make all the coffees then at the end prepare the

frothed milk for all the cappuccinos.

IMPORTANT: always clean the milk frother and steam

nozzle immediately after use. Proceed as follows:

1.By turning the steam knob (fig. 18), allow a little

steam to come out for a few seconds. Then close

firmly by turning clockwise.

2.Hold the upper part tight with one hand and use your

other hand to unscrew the cappuccino maker,

rotating it in a clockwise direction, and remove it

from the nozzle (fig. 20).

3.Check that the 3 holes shown in fig. 21 are not

blocked. If necessary, clean them with the help of a pin.

4.Clean the steam delivery tube, being careful to avoid

being burnt.

5.Screw the milk frother back on.
