Pressing the ground coee is very important to obtain
a good espresso. If excessively pressed, the coee will
slowly leak and it will be stronger. Whereas, if slightly
pressed, the coee will come out too quickly and will be
light.

How to prepare espresso using pods
Please note:

without mess.

Scalding hazard!
To avoid sprays, never release the lter-holder while the
machine is delivering and wait a few seconds after delivery.
Program the amount of coee in the cup
The machine has been set by default to deliver standard
amounts. If wanting to amend these quantities, proceed as
follows:
1. Place a cup under the coee spout.
2. Keep the button to be programmed ( or )
pressed. The machine starts delivering coee.
3. As soon as the wanted amount of coee in cup is reached,
release the button: delivery stops.
The machine is now re-programmed according to the new
amount.
Warmer cup (g. 32)
The warmer cup can be switched on by pushing the but-
ton: leave the cups on the appliance as long as they are warm.
This is useful to have warmer coee.
Scalding hazard!
When the appliance turns to low power function or stand-by
the cup warmer is still on until you don’t press the button to
switch it o. Pay attention not to touch it as it is hot.
How to prepare milk-based drinks
To avoid obtaining insuciently frothed milk, or with large
bubbles, always clean the lid of the milk and the hot water
nozzle as described in the “cleaning the milk container” at page
24.
1. Remove the lid (g. 17);
2. Fill the milk container with sucient amount of milk, not
exceeding the maximum of 0.5 l (g. 18). Remember that
every notch on the side of the container corresponds to
100 ml of milk.
Please note!
• Foramoredenseandhomogenousfroth,useskimmed
or partially skimmed milk at refrigerator temperature
(about 5° C).
3. Ensure the milk intake tube is correctly inserted in
appropriate seat envisioned at bottom of the milk
