11. Preparing an
espresso
DANGER! Risk of injury from
burning!
 The portafilter19, the filters1/2 and
the brewing head13 are hot after rins-
ing and after making an espresso. Only
touch the hot portafilter by the handle
and allow all parts to cool down before
touching them.
Requirements:
-
The device is ready to be used. The espres-
so
LED26 lights up continuously.
- The dial5 is set to OFF.
1. For a single espresso, use the filter2.
For a double espresso or two cups of
espresso, use the filter1.
2. Insert the prepared portafilter19 under
the brewing head13. The portafilter
must be tight.
3. Place the preheated cup(s) under the
spout of the portafilter19.
4. Press the espresso button 25. The
espresso extraction begins. The espres-
so LED26 flashes.
5. Let the espresso run into the cup(s) until
the desired amount is reached.
6. Press the espresso button 25 again
to disengage it and stop the espresso
extraction.
7. The espresso LED26 flashes while the
device heats up again. When the es-
presso LED is continuously lit again, the
device is ready for the next espresso.
8. Turn the handle of the portafilter19 to
the left until it reaches the symbol
16 and remove it downwards.
9. Knock the espresso powder out of the
filter1/2 and dispose of it in an organ-
ic waste bin. If necessary, you can re-
move residues with a teaspoon.
10. Clean the filter1/2 and the portafil-
ter19 and then dry them.
12. Tips for the perfect
espresso
Preparing the perfect espresso is not always
easy right away. So feel free to experiment
a little until the result suits your taste. Here
are a few tips on what you can pay attention
to:
• There are big differences in the quality
and taste of espresso powder. Try out
different types for yourself.
• When buying espresso powder, make
sure that the degree of grinding is suita-
ble for portafilter machines. The degree
of grinding must be fine. This is often in-
dicated on the packaging.
• Only change one thing at a time, e.g.
only the pressure when tamping or only
the amount of espresso powder, so that
you can see the effect of this change.
• You can recognise the perfect ex-
traction by the following points:
- The espresso flows slowly into the
cup.
- A golden brown to hazel crema ap-
pears on the espresso.
• Under-extraction can be recognised
by the fact that the espresso flows
quickly like water into the cup. It tastes
watery, maybe a little sour.
