2 Preparation
You can choose to use a second coffee variety, for example decaf-
feinated coffee, with the filter funnel for ground coffee.
E Never add more than two level measuring spoons of ground
coffee.
E Use ground coffee which is not ground too finely. Very fine
coffee can block up the system so that the coffee only comes
out in drips.
E If you did not fill the machine with a sufficient amount of
ground coffee,
NOT ENOUGH PRE-GROUND is displayed
and the IMPRESSA stops the operation.
E The desired specialty coffee must be prepared within approx-
imately one minute after filling with the ground coffee. Oth-
erwise the IMPRESSA stops the operation and is once more
ready for use.
All specialty coffees with ground coffee are prepared following this
model.
