5. MAKING AN ESPRESSO
In order to extract the maximum flavor from the beans, this machine
pre-infuses each cup. The pump works for 3 seconds, pauses for
3 seconds, and then continues until the cup is finished
PREHEATING THE ACCESSORIES
For the best results, we recommend that you preheat the filter holder
before espresso grounds are added, and warm the cups.
n Fill the water tank with fresh cold water and turn the machine on
(fig.1, 2, 3 and 4).
n Put the filter holder in place, place the cups below.
As soon as the required temperature is achieved, the light will stop
flashing.
n Turn the dial to the position (fig.8).
n Press either the button for 1 cup or the button for 2 cups.
n When the cups are filled with hot water, turn the dial to the
position (fig.10).
n Remove the cups, taking care to not spill the water.
n Unlock the filter holder by pressing the button on the handle
while turning the handle to the left to release, and remove the filter
holder from the machine (fig.11).
Note: Use the cup warming tray to warm espresso cups.
WITH GROUND COFFEE
The type of coffee you choose strongly influences the strength and
flavor of your espresso. Always use coffee beans ground to the
proper size for espresso. T
oo fine a grind will result in espresso that
is over-extracted and bitter. Too coarse a grind will result in
espresso that is under-extracted and weak in flavor. The perfect
espresso grind will feel like fine grains that do not clump when
pressed together.
Store your espresso grounds in an airtight container, and in a cool,
dry place to retain the flavor. Grounds should not be kept for long
periods of
time as the flavor will be reduced over time.
Do not use instant coffee, or coffee for drip coffee machines.
