4.  empty the cup, wait for the “ok” light to switch on again 

and repeat the same operation again.

(It is normal for a small, harmless puff of steam to be released 
when the filter-holder is removed).

How to prepare espresso using ground coffee

1.  After preheating the appliance as described above, place 

the ground coffee filter in the filter holder, making sure 
the node is correctly inserted in the slot as shown in fig. 8. 
Use the smaller filter to make one coffee or the larger filter 
to make two coffees.

2.  To prepare one coffee, fill the smaller filter with a level 

measuring spoon of ground coffee, about 7gr. (fig. 9). If 
you wish to prepare two cups of coffee, fill the larger filter 
with two less-than-level measuring spoons of ground cof-
fee (about 6+6 gr). fill the filter with small amounts at a 
time to prevent the coffee spilling out. 

 Important: 

for  correct  use,  before  filling  the  filter  with  ground  coffee 
always make sure there is no residual coffee in the filter from 
a previous infusion.
3.  Distribute  the  ground  coffee  evenly  and  press  it  lightly 

using the coffee tamper (fig. 10). 

 

Pressing the ground coffee is very important to obtain a 
good espresso. If you press too hard, the coffee will run 
out slowly and the crema will be dark. If you press too 
lightly, the coffee will run out too fast and the crema will 
be very light.

4.  remove any excess coffee from the rim of the filter-holder 

and attach it to the machine: turn the grip to the right (fig. 
5) to prevent water from escaping.  

5.  Position the cup or cups under the filter-holder outlets 

(fig. 11). You are recommended to heat the cups before 
making the coffee by rinsing them with a little hot water 
or  placing  them  to  warm  on  the  top  plate  for  at  least 
15-20 minutes (fig. 12).

6.  make sure that the ok light (fig. 6) is on (if it is off, wait 

for it to switch on) then turn the dial to the  

 position 

(fig. 7) until the required quantity is delivered. To inter-
rupt, turn the selector back in the 

 position (fig. 4). 

(It is recommended not to run the coffee for more than 45 
seconds).

7.  Turn the grip from right to left to release the filter-holder.

Scalding hazard!

To prevent sprays, do not release the filter-holder while the 
machine is dispensing coffee.

8.  To remove the used coffee, let the coffee fall out by knock-

ing the over-turned filter-holder (fig. 13).

9.  To turn the appliance off, rotate the selector dial to the “o” 

position  (fig. 14).

How to prepare espresso using pods

1.  Preheat the appliance as described in the section “Pre-

HeATING THe coffee UNIT”, making sure the filter holder 
is attached This obtains a hotter coffee.

 Please note: 

Use  pods  conforming  to  the  eSe  standard,  indicated  on  the 
pack by the following symbol:

The eSe standard is a system accepted by leading pod producers 
and enables espresso coffee to be prepared simply and cleanly.
2.  Place the small 1 coffee or pod filter in the filter holder, 

making sure the projection is correctly inserted in the slot 
as shown in fig. 8.

3.  Insert a pod, centring it as far as possible on the filter (fig. 

18). Always follow the instructions on the pod pack to po-
sition the pod on the filter correctly.

4.  Attach the filter holder to the appliance. Always rotate as 

far as it will go (fig. 5).

5.  Proceed as in points 5, 6 and 7 in the previous paragraph.

How to make cappuccino

1.  Prepare the espresso coffee as described in the previous 

paragraphs, using larger cups or glasses. remove the drip 
tray to allow for larger glasses.

2.  rotate the selector dial to the 

 position (fig. 15) and 

wait until the ok light comes on (fig. 6).

 

This indicates that the boiler has reached the ideal tem-
perature for steam production.

3.  In the meantime, fill a container with about 100 grams of 

milk for every cappuccino to be prepared. for best results 
use fresh milk from the refrigerator. When choosing the 
container bear in mind that the volume of the milk will 
increase by 2 or 3 times.

 Please note: 

it is recommended to use semi-skimmed milk at refrigerator 
temperature (+/- 5°c).
4.  Position the container with the milk under the cappuccino 

maker (fig. 16).
