To make a good espresso coffee it is recommended to preheat the coffee maker
before making the coffee. Pre-heating includes the coffee filter holder and the
cup(s) so that the flavour of the coffee is not influenced by a cold machine.
Use the above steps 1 – 10 to preheat your Espresso Maker before making cups
of coffee.
Instructions for Use – Making an Espresso Coffee
1. Preheat the Espresso Maker as described above.
2. Remove the Coffee Filter Holder (14), then remove the Coffee Filter (15) and
wipe dry using a clean dry cloth.
3. Using the Measuring Spoon/Tamper (16), add ground coffee to the Coffee
Filter (15), fill halfway for one small cup of coffee, fill it for two cups.
4. Press the coffee powder tightly using the Tamper at the end of the Measuring
Spoon/Tamper (16), (see Fig. 5 below)
5. Remove any excess coffee powder from the edge of the filter so the coffee sits
about 3mm from the top edge of the filter.
NB Too much coffee in the filter will result in a poor seal and leakage.
6. Place one hand on the top of the espresso maker to support the unit and attach
the Coffee Filter Holder (14) using the Filter Holder Handle (10) by holding the
handle and placing it in the coffee maker as in fig.6 then rotate right to the
locked position as shown below in fig.7:
