The coffee machine has three filters: 1-cup filter (14), 2-cup filter (15) and pod filter (13). The corresponding icon is found under each filter.

To avoid spraying, do not remove the filter-holder during or immediately after dispensing: wait for a few seconds after dispensing has stopped. BURNS HAZARD!

In order to obtain a hotter espresso coffee, it is recommended to:

• Heat the cups before making the coffee, by rinsing them under hot water.

• Attach the filter holder (3) to the machine with the filter inserted, without adding coffee. Press the 1-cup key (20) to dispense hot water into the cup to be used to make the coffee, this will heat the cup.

When the machine has not been used for a while (more than 30 minutes), it is normal for the first cups of coffee not to be at the right temperature. Repeat the procedure described to obtain a hotter coffee.

• Insert the 1-cup (14) or 2-cup ground coffee filter (15) into the filter holder (3). • Fill the filter (14) or (15) with ground coffee, making sure finely ground coffee is used, which is suitable for the espresso.

• Distribute the ground coffee evenly and tamp down using the tamping scoop (12).

• Remove any excess ground coffee from the edge of the filter holder (3). Attach the filter holder to the dispensing unit (2) and turn it to the right until it locks in place.

• For one cup, fill the relevant filter (14) with a level measure of coffee (approx. 7 grams.)

• For two cups, fill the filter (15) with two level measures.

• To obtain a strong coffee, tamp down the coffee firmly.

• To obtain a weak coffee, tamp down the coffee less.

• Before introducing the filterholder into the dispensing unit, make sure the edge of the filter is cleaned to remove any coffee residues.

• Position the cup or cups under the filter holder nozzles.

• Press the key relative to the desired function. Preparation ends automatically for every function selected.

• Once dispensing has ended, wait a few seconds and then remove the filter-holder (3) by turning it to the left.

• Insert the coffee pod filter (13) into the filter holder (3).

• Insert the pod into the filter holder (3), centring it as much as possible. Attach the filter holder (3) to the dispensing unit (2).

• Position the cup or cups under the filter holder nozzles (3) and press the dispensing key (20).

• Once the coffee has been dispensed, turn the filter holder (3) to the left to remove it. 

Before dispensing, make sure that the pod flap remains inside the filter, and not on the edge.

• Dispensing can be stopped at any time by pressing the dispensing key again. 

After having waited a few seconds following the end of every dispensing operation, it is advised to release the filter-holder and clean the coffee residues from the filter.

The quantity of coffee dispensed can be customised for every function. To modify the quantity of coffee dispensed by the machine:

• Position a small or large cup under the dispenser (2).

• Press one of the keys relevant to the beverage to be dispensed (20) or (21) for at least 3 seconds, until the LED of the relative button remains on.

• On reaching the desired quantity, stop dispensing by pressing the key again.

• The length has been set and is stored permanently.

Dispensing steam and preparing a cappuccino

• Press the key (22), which starts to flash. Wait for the key to have a fixed light, which indicates that the correct steam dispensing temperature has been reached.

• When the LED (22) has a fixed light, position an empty recipient under the steam wand (7) and turn the steam knob (8) anticlockwise to discharge any water present and then close the knob.

• Fill a container with 100 ml of cold milk, for every cappuccino to be prepared.

• Position the container with milk under the milk frothing wand (7), positioning the tip of the frothing wand in contact with the milk.

• Turn the steam knob (8) anti-clockwise to dispense the steam.

• Successively, introduce the steam wand into the milk, creating a vortex with the container of milk.

• Once the ideal temperature has been reached, stop dispensing by turning the steam knob (8) clockwise.

• Pour the frothy milk into the cups with the previously-prepared espresso.

• To make several cappuccinos, first prepare all the coffees and then froth the milk for all of them together.

• At the end of the operation, clean the steam wand (7) immediately using a damp cloth.

• Discharge any milk residues by turning the steam knob to let the steam out.

• Do not dispense steam for longer than 60 seconds max.

• After heating the milk, the internal part of the steam wand (7) must be cleaned by dispensing steam for a few seconds.

• Clean the steam wand (7) every time it is used, to prevent the deposit of milk residues or clogging. For complete cleaning of the steam wand, see the “Cleaning and Maintenance” paragraph.

The drip tray (6) can be removed if tall cups are used.

The result of the steam function can be affected by the ingredients used. To obtain a good cappuccino, we recommend using semi-skimmed or full-fat milk at fridge temperature (about 5°C).

To prevent obtaining milk with not much froth or large bubbles, always clean the steam wand as described in paragraph “4 Cleaning and maintenance”.

When the temperature of the heating element is too high to dispense coffee, buttons (20) and (21) flash simultaneously.

The heating element must be cooled down if you wish to prepare a coffee immediately after frothing milk. If the heating element is not cooled down, the coffee dispensed will taste burned.

• Position a container underneath the steam wand (7) and turn the steam knob (8) anticlockwise to dispense hot water.

The steam wand (7) will initially dispense steam. Burns hazard. Successively, hot water will be dispensed. This means that the heating element has reached the correct temperature to dispense coffee.
