Making Espresso
CAUTION:
Do not brew an espresso when the appliance is still under
pressure (for example when milk has been frothed earlier).
With too much pressure in the appliance, espresso leaks
at the edge of the brewing head. That may lead to a faster
wearing of the rubber seal.
1. Switch the appliance on. The status indicator lamp “I”
lights up. The appliance starts heating up. The warming
plate (13) heats up.
NOTE:
• Use the warming plate to pre-heat your cup(s).
• If you want to pre-heat the cup(s) more rapidly, rinse
them with hot water.
2. Make sure that the drip tray (7) and the drip tray grid (6)
are inserted.
3. Fill the water tank with the desired amount of clean, fresh
water. The water level must be between the MIN and
MAX markings. Close the lid again.
4. If you frothed milk earlier, completely release the pressure
from the appliance:
4.1. The switches (9) and (10) must be set to the posi-
tion ““.
4.2. Set a suitable vessel under the steam nozzle.
4.3. Turn the steam volume control (3) slowly in the
direction “+“ until no steam comes out any longer.
4.4. Close the steam volume control by turning it in the
direction “OFF”.
5. Select a lter insert (14 / 15). Place the insert in the lter
holder. Ensure that the lter safeguard is not upright.
6. Fill the lter insert with espresso grounds. Use the sup-
plied measuring spoon (18). Observe the MAX marking in
the lter insert. Spread the espresso grounds evenly and
push down slightly with the tamper (18). Clean the edge
of the lter holder.
7. Attach the lter holder to the group head. Ensure that the
lter holder is properly attached in the group head.
8. The necessary brewing temperature is reached as soon
as the indicator lamp “ok” lights up. Place your pre-heat-
ed cup(s) under the group head exactly on the two holes
you can see in the drip tray grid.
9. Turn on the pump with the switch (9). The hot water is
forced through the lter.
NOTE:
This process does not end automatically!
10. Stop the brewing process by turning off the pump when
the desired amount of espresso is in your cup(s).
11. Remove the cup(s).
NOTE:
Remove the lter holder every time after making es-
presso. In this way you extend the lifetime of the group
head’s rubber seal.
12. Remove the lter holder from the group head.
13. Empty and rell the lter to brew another cup of espresso:
WARNING:
Metal parts of lter holder and lter insert are hot.
a) Flap the lter safeguard
(17) up. Push the lter
safeguard with your thumb
towards the lter insert
while turning the lter
holder around (see Fig.).
b) Tap the coffee grounds out of the lter insert. Use
a spoon, if necessary. Rinse the remaining coffee
grounds with hot water out of the lter insert.
14. To prepare the next cup(s) of espresso, proceed as
described above.
Making Cappuccino
Generally cappuccino consists of one-third coffee, one-third
hot milk and one-third frothed milk.
The milk froth should not be rm enough to be shaped with a
spoon. It should be creamy, such as not completely whipped
cream, of a viscous texture.
For the preparation you need in addition
• a larger, bellied cup (approx. 180 ml), in which you make
the espresso,
• a small frothing jug with spout (e.g. 0.3 ℓ),
• a small, heat-resistant container,
• cold milk with at least 3.5 % fat content.
CAUTION: Observe the sequence!
1. Brewing of espresso.
2. Frothing milk.
For preparation of cappuccino, proceed as described under
“Making Espresso”.
Froth the milk as follows:
WARNING: Danger of scalding!
Escaping steam can cause injuries. During the heating
process hot steam / water can escape from group head
and / or steam nozzle!
• Ensure that the steam control knob (3) is set to “OFF”
position before activating the steam function.
• Do not direct the steam nozzle towards persons.
• Always place a container under the steam nozzle (4).
1. Ensure that the switch (9) is in “” position.
2. Swivel out the steam nozzle (4). Attach the steam nozzle
cover all the way on the steam nozzle.
3. Place a heat-resistant container under the steam nozzle.
4. Fill the jug half with cold milk.
5. Set the switch (10) to the position “
“. Wait until the
indicator lamp “ok” lights up.
