Useful tips for obtaining a good italian espresso
The ground coffee in the filter holder has to be pressed lightly.
Whether the coffee is stronger or weaker depends on the degree
the coffee is ground, the quantity put into the filter holder and the
pressing. Just a few seconds are needed for the coffee to flow down
into the cups. If the dispensing time is longer, this means that the
coffee is ground too fine or that the coffee put into the filter holder
has been pressed too much.
To get a cup of coffee with a finer cream, use the filter (I) together
with the disk (H); to get a higher cream, use instead only the filter
(I) after having removed the disk (H) from the filter holder.

- Repeat the operations described in the paragraph “Before use”.
- If the supply is not re-established after the solutions indicated, go
to an Authorised Assistance Centre.
B) The machine does not supply Steam.
- With a pin, remove any deposits which may have formed in the
nozzle.
- Check that the water level in the tank is normal.
C) Coffee overflowing from the edges of the filter ring.

in the filter ring preventing the filter ring from being correctly
tightened into its housing. Repeat the operation placing the cor
