How to prepare espresso coffee using the
filter holder for ground coffee
After preheating the appliance as described
above, place the ground coffee filter in the
filter holder, making sure the projection is
correctly inserted in the slot. Use the smaller
filter to make one coffee or the larger filter
to make two coffees.
To make a single coffee only, place one
level measure (about 7 g) of ground coffee
in the filter. To prepare two coffees, place
two loosely filled measures (about 6+6 g) of
ground coffee in the filter.
Fill the filter a little at a time to prevent the
ground coffee from overflowing.
IMPORTANT: for correct operation, before
adding the ground coffee to the filter holder,
clean the filter from residues of ground
coffee from the previous infusion.
Distribute the ground coffee evenly and
press lightly with the presser.
N.B.: Correct pressing of the ground coffee
is essential to obtain a good espresso.
If pressing is excessive, coffee delivery will
be slow and the froth will be dark.
If pressing is too light, coffee delivery will be
too rapid and the froth will be skimpy and
light coloured.
Remove any excess coffee from the rim of
the filter holder and attach the filter holder
to the appliance.
Rotate firmly to avoid leaks of water. Place
the cup or cups under the filter holder
spouts.
You are recommended to heat the cups
before making the coffee by rinsing them
with a little hot water.
