FIRST USE
OR IF THE MACHINE HAS NOT BEEN USED FOR A
LONG PERIOD
Artisan roasted coffees are preferred as they lend a better complexity and delicateness to
the avour. For a variety of avours, try pure origin coffees.
For an intense coffee
Choose coffees blended with Robusta – not specically 100% Arabica – or Italian-roasted
coffees or specic Italian-avoured coffees.
Keep the ground coffee in the fridge as this will lock in the avour for longer.
Do not ll your lter holder to the brim or over ll it; use the measuring spoon (1 spoon for a
30ml espresso, 2 spoons for 2 x 30ml espressos). Clean off any excess coffee from around
the lter holder.
If you have not used the appliance for more than 5 days, empty and rinse the water tank.
