MAKING COFFEE WITH GROUND (N-L-S-V)
1) Mount on filter-holder 10 the one-cup filter 16 or the two-cup filter 17 depending

3) Press the ground coffee in the filter with the tamp 19; after this operation the pressed
coffee surface should be about 1 centimetre below the filter edge.
4) Insert the filter holder in its lodging and lock it securely by turning it from left to right.
5) Place one or two cups under the coffee output spouts of the filter holder.
In order to obtain a good Italian-style espresso coffee, grinding is of fundamental importance.
The espresso must be dispensed in approx. 25 seconds and must have, on average, a volume
equivalent to approx. 25 cc (single short button). If the grinding is too coarse, it will produce
an overheated espresso with very little froth. If the grinding is too fine, it will produce
an espresso with little froth. Good quality coffee is obtained by using a fresh, evenly ground
blend (only obtainable if the coffee grinder has sharp blades) used in the correct quantities
(approx. 7 grams per dose).
It is important to have coffee that has been freshly ground because otherwise it rapidly loses
its aroma and the fatty substances contained in it go rancid.
Warm cups contribute considerably to maintaining the quality of the espresso.
