6 g/ 0,21 oz +6 g/0,21 oz ) of pre-ground coee in the l-
ter. Fill the lter a little at a time to prevent the pre-ground
coee from overowing;
Important: For correct operation, before lling with pre-ground coee,
make sure there are no coee residues left in the lter from the last time you made
coee.
3. Distribute the pre-ground coee evenly and press lightly
with the tamper (g. 13). Correct pressing of the pre-
ground coee is essential to obtain a good espresso. If
pressing is excessive, coee delivery will be slow and the
crema will be dark. If pressing is too light, coee delivery
will be too rapid and the crema will be skimpy and light
coloured;
4. Remove any excess coee from the rim of the lter holder
and attach to the appliance. Turn the handle rmly to-
wards the right (g. 6) to avoid water leaking out;
5. Place the cup or cups under the lter holder spouts (g.
14). You are recommended to warm the cups before mak-
ing coee by rinsing them with a little hot water;
6. Make sure the READY light (g. 8) is on (if o, wait until it
comes on), then turn the selector to the position.
When the desired amount of coee has been delivered,
turn the selector to the ON to interrupt the ow;

HOW TO PREPARE ESPRESSO COFFEE USING PODS
1. Preheat the appliance as described in the section “Tips for
a hotter coee”, making sure the lter holder is attached.
This obtains a hotter coee;
Please note: Please note. Use pods conforming to the ESE standard,
indicated on the pack by the following symbol.
The ESE standard is a system accepted by leading pod producers and
enables espresso coee to be prepared simply and cleanly.
2. Place the lter for coee pods (with the
symbol on the bottom) in the lter holder;
3. Insert the pod, centring it as far as possible on the lter
(g. 15). Always follow the instructions on the pod pack to
position the pod on the lter correctly;
4. Attach the lter holder to the appliance. Always turn as far
as it will go (g. 6);
5. Proceed as in points 5, 6 and 7 in the previous section.
HOW TO MAKE CAPPUCCINO
1. Prepare the espresso coees as described in the previous
sections, using suciently large cups;
2. Turn the selector to the position (g. 16) and wait
until the READY light comes on;
3. In the meantime, ll a recipient with about 100 grams of
milk for each cappuccino to be prepared. The milk must be
at refrigerator temperature (not hot!). In choosing the size
of the recipient, bear in mind that the milk doubles or tri-
ples in volume (g. 17);
Please note: You are recommended to use 2% milk and at refrigerator
temperature.
4. ECP 3X30 only: Make sure the ring (A10) on the cappucci-
no maker is positioned in the CAPPUCCINO position (g.
18);
5. Place the recipient containing the milk under the cappucci-
no maker;
6. Wait until the READY light comes on. This indicates that
the boiler has reached the ideal temperature for steam
production;
7. Open the steam turning the steam dial to the posi-
tion for a few seconds to eliminate any water in the circuit.
Close the steam;
8. Immerse the cappuccino maker in the milk about 5 mm
(g. 19) and turn the steam dial to the position.
The milk now starts to increase in volume and take on a
creamy appearance;
9. When the milk has doubled in volume, immerse the cap-
puccino maker deeply and continue heating the milk.
When the required temperature is reached (60°C is ideal),
interrupt steam delivery by turning the steam dial to 0 po-
sition and turn the selector to the ON position;
10. Pour the frothed milk into the cups containing the espresso
coee prepared previously. The cappuccino is ready. Sweet-
en to taste and if desired, sprinkle the froth with a little
cocoa powder.
Please note:
• To prepare more than one cappuccino, rst make all the coees then at the end
prepare the frothed milk for all the cappuccinos.
• To make coee again after the milk has been frothed, rst cool the boiler, or
the coee will be burnt. To cool it place a container under the boiler outlet, turn
the selector to the position and discharge water until the READY
light goes o. Return the selector to the ON position and then proceed to make
coee.
You are recommended to deliver steam for a
maximum of 60 seconds and never to froth
milk more than three times consecutively.
