6.4 Preparing the machine
6.4.1 Grinding and dosing coffee
It is important to have a grinder-dispenser next to the ma-
chine so that the coffee can be ground on a daily basis.
The coffee must be ground and dispensed according to in-
structions provided by the manufacturer of the grinder-dis-
penser. The following points should also be kept in mind:
• To obtain a good espresso it is not recommended that you
store large amounts of coffee beans. Comply with the ex-
piry date indicated by the producer.
• Never grind large volumes of coffee, it is advisable to pre-
pare the amount that can be held in the dosing device
and if possible, use it by the end of the day.
• Do not buy pre-ground coffee, as it perishes quickly. If nec-
essary, buy coffee in small vacuum-sealed packs.

6.5.2 “AL” version
Never perform the below-described operations
without coffee in the lter or without the lter
holder attached to the dispensing group. The rapid
upward movement of the lever may cause damage to the
appliance, individuals or property.
The dispensing time depends on the grind neness and the
amount of coffee in the lter holder.
• Place a cup/demitasse under the group’s dispensing spout.
• Pull the lever all the way down.
• Whilst the lever is down, wait a moment (3-5 seconds) for
the coffee to be pre-infused.
• Next, carefully lift the lever until a certain resistance is
felt, then release the lever.
• The lever will continue ascending to its idle position, dur-
ing which time the coffee will be dispensed. Wait for the
