THINGS TO KNOW
1. The taste of espresso depends on the amount and type of
coffee used.
2. The particular taste of a coffee bean depends on several factors, but
its taste and aroma are the result of the roasting process. Coffee
beans roasted for a longer time and at higher temperatures are
darker in colour. Darker coffee beans release more flavour than
lighter ones. There are coffees of varying quality on the market. Each
type of roasting is characterised by a mixture of beans roasted at a
certain temperature and with a certain type of aroma.
3. Pump espresso machines require a finely ground blend. Be sure to
purchase the desired blend that can be used with espresso
machines. It is preferable to use a grinder mill rather than a blade
mill because the latter releases too much coffee powder and
produces an irregularly ground blend.
4. It would be ideal to grind the coffee just before use.
5. We recommend storing the coffee in an airtight container, in a cool,
dry place, away from heat sources.
6. Espresso can be recognised by its dark colour, rich taste and typical
"natural cream".
7. Cappuccino is a special combination of espresso and hot frothed
milk. It can be served with a sprinkling of cinnamon, nutmeg or
cocoa.
8. Serve espresso coffee immediately after preparing it.
9. Serve espresso in coffee cups and cappuccino in breakfast cups.

BEFORE THE FIRST USE
6. Insert the Filter holder without coffee grounds into the Brew unit with a
45° movement to the left and turn it to the right to lock it in place.
The Filter holder handle must be perpendicular to the machine or
slightly tilted towards the right.
1. Rinse the water tank. Remove the water tank lid and fill the water
tank with cold water up to the MAX level of the tank.
2. Insert the plug into a wall outlet with suitable voltage.
3. Press the Power button, the Power indicator light turns on and the
coffee machine starts to preheat automatically. Once the
preheating is finished, the Temperature Ready indicator will turn
blue. This preheating process takes about 2 minutes.
4. Place a big cup under the steam wand. Turn on the Steam control
knob, then press the Espresso button. Let the water flow out of the
steam pipe about 80 ml, then press Espresso button again and turn
off the Steam control knob. This process is let the water flow into the
empty pump for the first use.
It is recommended to run the machine without coffee grounds at least
once before the first use. This process will help to clean and preheat the
appliance.
5. Insert the Filter into the Filter holder.

There will be a loud noise and little shake when the
machine running first time. It’s normal for a 20 bar pump.
The noise will be weak in the future using.
NOTE:

Add one measuring spoon of coffee grounds
(we recommend 14g) for each cup. The quantity will vary
according to your preferences.
PREPARING THE ESPRESSO
2. Press the coffee into the filter with the Tamp spoon. The coffee must
be pressed evenly to obtain a well levelled and flat surface. Remove
any coffee residue from the edge of the Filter holder.
3. Insert the Filter holder into the Brew unit with a 45° movement to the
left and turn it to the right to lock it in place. The Filter holder handle
must be perpendicular to the machine or slightly tilted towards the
right.
4. Wait until the Temperature ready indicator light turns blue.
1. Remove the filter holder and fill the Filter with coffee grounds using
the Tamp spoon provided with the machine.
7. Place a large cup under the Filter holder and press the Espresso
button.
8. After the cup has been filled with water, press the Espresso button
again to stop and wait a few minutes for the machine to reach the
correct temperature with the filter holder inserted.

MAKING THE ESPRESSO
FROTHING MILK
Please press the Power button to turn off the machine
after using.
NOTE:
There will be noise during the operating process.
This is normal for a 20 bar pump.
NOTE:
1. Press the Espresso button. The machine will start brewing.
2. Stop the brewing process when the cup is 3/4 full by pressing the
Espresso button.
The coffee will be more or less intense depending on the amount of water
used and, if prepared following the correct procedure, it will have the
typical hazelnut/brown coloured "natural cream".
To brew another espresso, slowly and carefully remove the Filter holder,
moving it to the left. Be careful not to burn yourself with the water left on
the coffee grounds. Once the Filter holder has been removed, some water
will still drip. This is due to the water pressure in the system. Remove the
grounds from the Filter and any residue from the Brew unit.
To prepare a traditional cappuccino or latte, we recommend:
- using cold, fresh whole milk. The density of the frothed milk will
depend on the milk fat content.
- using stainless steel, circular, rounded milk jugs, narrower at the
top, with a spout, necessary to make cappuccino decorations.
Before starting, it is important to slightly move the Steam wand outwards
in order to insert the jug directly under it and facilitate the movements
required to froth the milk correctly.

FROTHING MILK
Continue as follows:
1. Press the Steam button. The Temperature ready indicator will turn off
if the temperature is not high enough to make steam. Once the
preheating has finished, the Temperature Ready indicator will turn
blue.
2. Turn the Steam control knob slightly counterclockwise to eliminate
any condensation from the wand then close the knob again.
3. Place the jug, half-filled with cold milk, under the Steam wand.
4. Place the steam nozzle just below the surface of the milk; if it is
inserted too deep, the milk will not be frothed; if it is not inserted
deep enough, big bubbles will be produced and then disappear
immediately.
OK
NO
It is important to keep the nozzle not at the centre but close to the edge of
the jug, with an appropriate angle to produce a stronger vortex.
