1 Water tank machines: Fill water into the water tank.
2 Turn the machine on (power switch in position “1”).
3 Wait until the pressure gauge indicates approx. 1.0-1.25 bar.
4 Depending on the ambient temperature, the heat-up phase is approx. 25 minutes.
5 The machine is now ready for use.
6 Insert the filter holder and move the brew group lever into the upper position and release some hot water. This
way the filter holder will be completely heated.
It is recommended to leave the filter holder in the brew group, keeping it warm for an optimal coffee
dispension temperature.
6.2 Preparing coffee
Use the filter holder with 1 spout and the correspondent filter (1 cup) for the preparation
of 1 cup. Use the filter holder with 2 spouts and the big filter (2 cups) for the
preparation of 2 cups. Make sure that the filter is firmly locked into the filter holder.
Fill the finely ground coffee into the filter.
Use 1 level measuring-spoon of coffee for each cup (approx. 7 g).
Do not overfill the measuring-spoon, as shown in the figure on the right!
Compress the ground coffee with the tamper. Clamp the filter holder firmly
into the brew group.
Place the cup under the spout of the filter holder (for the preparation of 2 cups, put 1 cup under each spout).
Move the group lever into the upper position. During coffee preparation, the overpressure is channeled back over the
water tank adapter. When the cup is filled, move the group lever into the lower position.
The remaining pressure/water will be discharged into the drip tray by the lower part of the infusion cylinder.
The pump pressure can be read on the pump pressure gauge. If the coffee powder is too coarse, a brewing pressure
over 9 bars is not possible.
Advice: After the brewing process, the gauge still indicates a certain pressure. Only when preparing another cup of
coffee the buildup of pressure is visible again.
If the group lever is not moved into the lower position properly, hot water and grounds will squirt out of the brew group
while taking out the filter holder. This may cause injuries.
• Only freshly ground coffee allows for an optimal coffee result. Therefore, use a professional coffee
grinder. In our assortment you will find several professional and compact coffee grinders.
• We recommend to use a stainless steel tamper with a diameter of 58 mm for optimum tamping.
6.3 Dispensing of hot water
1 Place an adequate water container (with a heat-insulated handle) under the hot water dispenser. After having
moved the power switch into the lower position, you can dispense water (e. g. for tea) by opening the hot water
lever.
2 After dispensing water, switch the machine on again. The boiler will be filled with fresh water automatically.
When the machine is switched off, more hot water can be dispensed.
However, one does not necessarily have to switch off the machine for dispensing hot water.
Caution!
Place the nozzle of the dispenser into the water container in order to avoid injuries due to hot water
sprayings.
6.4 Dispensing of steam
The MECHANIKA & TECHNIKA PROFI DUE make it possible to generate large amounts of steam in order to heat or
froth beverages, e. g. milk or punch. It is a professional and compact espresso coffee machine with an enormous
