Making drinks
Connecting the filter holder to the main boiler

is fully secured.
oWhen you have finished using the holder, turn the handle
clockwise and remove it from the filter holder ring nut (19).
IMPORTANT: If the filter gets attached to the boiler, you
should carefully remove it. This is a result of a vacuum
being created during the espresso making process.
Making a drink using coffee pods
Coffee pods are an easy, practical and hygienic way to make coffee.
The packaging used for coffee pods does not allow excess coffee to
spill out and can be easily removed after use.
oIMPORTANT: If you are using Italian coffee
pods, then the filter for 1 Italian coffee pod (4)
must be used. If you are using French coffee
pods, then the filter for 1 French coffee pod (6)
must be used.
oFor best results ensure that the coffee pods are used prior
to their use by date.
oFollow the instructions on filling the water reservoir (pages 11 –
14) and “Dispensing hot water through the main boiler” (page
15).

oTo make a single dose of espresso, use the spout for a single
coffee dose (2) and use one espresso cup.
oTo make a double dose of espresso, use the spout for a double
coffee dose (3) and use two espresso cups.
oInsert an appropriately sized coffee pod filter (4) or (6) into the
filter holder (1).
oPlace the coffee pod into the filter holder (1) and place it onto
the filter holder ring nut (19) on to the main boiler and lock it
into position.
oPlace a suitably sized cup under the main boiler. If using the
espresso for making espresso shots use the espresso cup stand
(18).
oPress the main boiler dispensing button (30).
oWhen your espresso is made, press the same button again to
stop hot water from dispensing.
oRelease the filter holder (1) from the filter holder ring nut (19).
oWhen the coffee pod is sufficiently cooled, remove it from the
filter holder (1) and discard it.

another drink.
oWhen you have finished making drinks, you can either wash the
filters and spouts in hot soapy water or in a dishwasher.
Making drinks using espresso ground coffee
oFollow the instructions on filling the water reservoir (pages 11 –
14) and “Dispensing hot water through the main boiler” (page
15).
oTo make a single dose of espresso, use the spout for a single
coffee dose (2) and use one espresso cup.
oTo make a double dose of espresso, use the spout for a double
coffee dose (3) and use two espresso cups.
oInsert the appropriately sized coffee pod filter (4) or (6) into
the filter holder (1).

20

coffee in the filter holder. Place the filter holder into the filter
holder ring nut (19) on the main boiler and lock it in position.

Tips on making an espresso
An espresso is a strong black coffee that is made
by forcing pressurised hot water, through finely
ground espresso coffee.
oApproximately 7 grams of coffee is required for
an espresso. After filling the filter with coffee, use the coffee
pressing tool (10) to tap down the coffee in the filter holder.
Remove any excess coffee from the filter holder before making
the espresso.
oIf you are using the small cups especially designed for
espressos, then you should utilise the espresso cup stand (18)
to raise the cup closer to the filter holder (1).
oThe main boiler should be pre-heated and a small amount of
water should be dispensed through the machine to warm it up.
