8. USE
The machine has a top shelf on which the
cups are kept and heated, ready for use.
This is very important to obtain good coffee as the
pre-warmed cup stops the coffee from growing cold
too quickly.
8.1. Preparing coffee
Unclamp the lter-holder from the dispensing unit
and knock any grouts out into the drawer espe-
cially provided for this purpose, taking care not to
damage the rim of the lter.
Use the lter for 1 or 2 coffees, according to
need.
Fill the lter with the measure of coffee, level it off
and press it down gently with the presser.
Remove any ground coffee that has stuck to the
rim of the lter while pressing.
If ground coffee is left on the rim of the lter, a
leaktight seal is not ensured, with consequent
leaking of water and coffee grounds.
Lock the lter-holder into the dispensing unit rmly
to obtain a leaktight seal.
Place the cups under the spouts and start pouring
using control 3 or button panel 4 according to
model (Fig.6).
When the coffee has been poured, leave the lter-
holder attached to the dispensing unit until the next
coffee is required.
When pouring, beware of the hot parts of the
machine, especially the coffee dispensing
units, the steam and hot water spouts. Do not
put your hands for any reason under the units
and the spouts when they are operating.
The grinding of the coffee beans is of fundamental
importance to the making of good coffee, and the
granular texture of the resulting grounds should
be such that it takes 25-30 seconds to produce the
beverage. If the coffee is ground too coardsely the
coffee will be pale in colour and weak in avour, with
only a very small amount of white cream, and if the
grounds are too ne, the coffee will be dark with no
cream. Good coffee can only be made if the beans
are freshly and uniformly ground (only possible when
the blades of the coffee grinder are sharp) and are
then measured out into the correct quantities (roughly
6 grams per measure).
The importance of freshly ground coffee beans is
due to the fact that once ground, they rapidly lose
their aromatic qualities, and fats present in the beans
go rancid.
