and is the International standard for
making coffee using pods (a pod is a
disposable single-use portion of roasted
coffee) and a suitable coffee machine. The
E.S.E. system is simple, practical and
ecological since no special maintenance is
required and nature is respected. Lastly,
the system is clean as the special wrapping
prevents spillage and is easily removed and
disposed of after use.
−The machine is designed for use with
ground coffee or pods: single-use
disposable portions of roasted coffee.
−Place the pod in the filter holder.

TIPS ON HOW TO PREPARE AN
EXCELLENT ESPRESSO COFFEE
−To make a good espresso coffee, the cleanliness of
the machine and the right temperature are
fundamental.
−Make sure that the filter, the filter holder and the
ring nut are kept perfectly clean.
−Unless you are away for long periods, keep the
machine turned on and the filter holder in the ring
nut to keep it hot.
−Heat the coffee cups by filling them with hot water
(press the coffee button). This also eliminates some
of the water left in the boiler as well as heats the
filter holder.
−When you have finished using the machine clean
the filter holder by running the machine without
coffee. This method eliminates any residues which
could alter the flavour of the coffee the next time
you use the machine.
−For an excellent espresso, let the machine run for
20-25 seconds. The time required depends on the
texture of the ground coffee, the quantity of coffee
used and how firmly the coffee is pressed. The
machine is already calibrated to make good quality
coffee. If necessary the grinding texture and the
quantity of ground coffee dosed can be adjusted
(see paragraph "First Use") to obtain the required
strength and flavour.
HOT WATER
−Place the coffee cup below the steam spout (ref.16).
−Turn the steam knob (ref.1) anti-clockwise.
−Press the hot water button (ref.5). Release the
button when you have the required amount of hot
water and close the steam knob (ref.1).
STEAM
−Steam is used to make cappuccino coffee (see
chapter "Recipes").
−Keep the steam button (ref.6) pressed and
wait until the red indicator light (ref.9)
goes out.
−Place the receptacle beneath the steam
spout and slowly turn the steam knob
(ref.1) anti-clockwise.
−When you have finished with the steam
close the steam knob (ref.1) and press the
steam button (ref.6).
RECIPES
ITALIAN CAPPUCCINO
This is a normal espresso coffee with steam-
heated milk that gives the coffee a milder
flavour and a rich, frothy topping. Serve in a
large cup.
Pour cold milk into a tall jug and heat it using
the steam spout if your machine has one. Add
only the froth to the espresso coffee, to do this
either tilt the jug slightly rocking it backwards
and forwards while you pour or use a spoon to
scoop off the froth.
You can also add a dusting of cocoa powder to
taste.
VIENNESE CAPPUCCINO
This variation is the result of age-old Austrian
tradition.
Prepare a 'long' espresso by letting the
machine run for longer than usual (30-35
seconds), add hot milk followed by whipped
cream. Serve in a medium-sized cup (midway
between and espresso cup and a cappuccino
cup).
Decorate with flakes of chocolate.

8
COLD ESPRESSO SHAKE
Frothy and extremely refreshing, this makes a pleasant
drink on hot days.
Prepare an espresso coffee, add sugar and pour into a
cocktail shaker with large ice cubes. Shake for a few
seconds.
Serve in a tumbler or flûte.
IRISH COFFEE
Any energy-giving tonic.
Warm a tall glass and mix eight parts of hot coffee with
one part whisky and brown sugar.
Gently pour freshly whipped cream over the back of a
spoon so that it floats on the coffee: the result is a layer
of cool white cream on top of the hot dark coffee.
MEXICAN COFFEE
Intense and exotic.
Mix together a portion of double cream, half a teaspoon
of cinnamon, a pinch of nutmeg and sugar in a small
cup and beat until it becomes frothy.
Place a teaspoon of chocolate syrup, a pinch of
cinnamon and the coffee into a medium-sized cup and
blend together.
Top with a teaspoon of vanilla-flavoured cream.
CAPPUCCINO ICE-CREAM
Heat 2 cups of espresso coffee, ¾ cup of single cream
and ½ cup sugar in a pan and bring to boiling point.
Leave to cool before placing in the freezer for 4-5
hours.
Move to the refrigerator ½ hour before
serving.
Serve two-three balls of the ice-cream in a
small bowl and decorate with roasted coffee
beans.
CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE
EXTERNAL PARTS
−Clean all the external parts of the machine
with a soft cloth, do not use harsh
detergents.
−Do not clean steel surfaces with abrasive
pads or sponges.
−Dry thoroughly using a soft cloth.
DRIP TRAY
−Empty the drip tray (ref.25) regularly to
avoid the overflow of liquids which could
soil and damage the cupboards below the
machine.
−Both the drip tray and the grid are dish-
washer proof.
FILTER/FILTER-HOLDER/RING
NUT
−The filters (ref. 21 and 22), the filter holder
(ref.20) and the ring nut (ref.15) should be
kept clean at all times. Any residual coffee
may alter the taste of the next coffee you
make.
−Put the filter holder and the filter in the
dishwasher every 2 months.

9
WATER TANK
−If left unused for long periods it is advisable to
replace the water in the tank with fresh water and to
empty the boiler by pressing the coffee button
(ref.4) repeatedly.
−Clean the water tank (ref.27) periodically to remove
any lime-scale.
−The water tank is dish-washer safe.
−If Brita decalcifying filters are used it is advisable
to replace the filter every 2000 espresso coffees or
at least every two months.
BOILER CLEANING FREQUENCY
−Like any other appliance that uses water, it is
perfectly normal for lime-scale to form inside the
boiler of the coffee machine.
-It is advisable to clean the boiler every six months
as follows:
-Fill the tank with 1.5l water and add half a glass of
vinegar or citric acid.
-Press the coffee button repeatedly so that the
water/vinegar solution comes through a little at a
time until the tank is empty.
-Repeat the operation until clean water comes
through (with no trace of lime-scale).
-Fill the tank with cold water and again press the
coffee button repeatedly to rinse the boiler.
-The machine is now ready for use.
