particular attention to the quantity of ground coee in the lter
((C3) or (C4)) (see instructions in section“4.1 Fase 1 - Macinatura
(grinding)”).
Proceed as described in section“La“dose perfetta””.
4. MAKING COFFEE
4.1 Step 1 - Grinding
1. Put coee beans in the container (A3) (g. 9). It is best to
grind only a quantity of beans sucient for immediate use,
so that the coee will always be fresh.
2. The default grinding setting is 5 (medium ground). If this is
too ne or too coarse, adjust the level according to personal
taste and the type of coee used (adjust only when the cof-
fee mill is in operation (g. 10).
Please note: A grinding level between 3 and 6 is recommended
for most coees. Selecting level 1 or 2, the beans will be ground
very ne. This kind of setting is suitable only for very special coee
(light roast) or when the quality of the ground coee is less than
ideal, and attributable to worn burrs (grinding too coarse).
3. Place one of the coee lters (C3) or (C4) in the lter holder
(C1). Press (B5) to select preparation of 1 or 2 cups.
This also doubles the quantity of espresso delivered.
4. Set the quantity by adjusting the dial (B4), starting from
the minimum position (g. 11).
The rst time you use it, leave the dial in the Min. position. In the
beginning, it is normal to make a few attempts before nding
the optimal setting. We suggest you start with the default val-
ues, then modify them if necessary following the suggestions in
section“Regolare la quantità di caè macinato nel ltro”.
5. Attachthe dosing and tampingguide(C2)to the lter hold-
er: 1 press; 2 rotate to lock (g. 12).
6. Insert the lter holder in the coee mill outlet (A13) (g.
13).
7. Press the lter holder until you hear a“click”(g. 14), then
release. Grinding starts and stops automatically.
Please note: To manually stop grinding, just press the lter
holder again (until you hear a click).

Dierent varieties of coee bean give dierent results when
ground: consequently, the initial adjustment of the dosage re-
quires special care.
This illustration shows how to regulate the dosage, based on the
roast colour: this should be taken as a general guide, given that
in practice, the nal adjustment can vary according to the com-
position of the beans.
1. Set the quantity (to the raisedmark inside the coeelter),
starting from the minimum position. The numbers on the
dial are a handy reference to note down once the quantity
in the lter is ideal.The numbers do not correspond to the
coee mill settings, measurement units (g/oz) or grinding
time.
2. Looking at the roast colour of your particular beans, turn
the dial slowly to nd the right adjustment.
4.2 Step 2 - Tamping
1. After grinding, remove the lter holder (g. 15).
2. Tap the dosing and tamping guide (C2) to level the ground
coee.
3. (Certain models only): rest the lter holder in the housing
on the pressing mat (C12) (g. 16).
4. Press the coee using the presser (C11) (g. 17).
5. Remove the dosing and tamping guide by turning it anti-
clockwise and pulling upwards (g. 18), and check that the
quantity is correct (see“La“dose perfetta””).
6. Attach the lter holder to the coee outlet (A10) (g. 19).
Please note: Coee left on the edges of the lter after pressing
does not in any way compromise the quality of the brewing and
therefore the end result.
