How to prepare espresso coffee Filling the water tank To remove the water tank lift the lid (fig.1) and simply pull upwards (fig 2) and fill the tank at the sink (fig 3). Do not exceed the MAX level on the water tank. The tank may also be filled without removing it, simply by pouring water into it directly from a jug.

How to prepare espresso coffee 1. After carrying out the preheating of the machine as described in the preceding section, in order to make just one cup of espresso coffee, insert the 1-cup filter (the smaller of the two provided) into the filter holder (Fig. 8) and fill it with one level measuring spoon of ground coffee (fig. 9) – about 7 grams.
How to prepare coffee using pods 1. Preheat the machine as described in the ‘Preheating the Coffee Machine’ section, attaching the coffee filter holder with 1 cup or pod filter to the unit.This procedure ensures that the coffee is delivered at a hotter temperature and that the seal of the holder is more effective. Note: Use pods which conform to the ESE standard: this will be indicated on the packaging by the symbol as in fig. 13.

Steam is given off by the cappuccino maker, giving the milk a creamy frothy appearance.To obtain a creamier froth, dip the cappuccino maker into the milk and rotate the container with slow movements from the bottom upwards. 6. When the required temperature is reached, interrupt steam delivery by rotating the steam knob clockwise. Then press the steam button (fig. 15). 8. Pour the frothed milk into the cups containing the espresso coffee.
