1. ESPRESSO FUNCTION

Espresso coffee

Espresso coffee is richer in flavour and
stronger than a normal coffee. It is drunk
from small, pre-heated espresso cups. The hot
water passes through the ground coffee to
obtain this delicious black, foamy coffee,
which has an invigorating effect.

You can recognize the espresso by its
characteristic flavour and its typical foam. But
this requires high pressure and an excellent
espresso coffee which has been well roasted
and correctly ground. If you are unable to buy
ground espresso coffee, use a coffee grinder
to grind your own beans. This coffee must not
be ground «too fine». It should be slightly
grainy. If it is too fine, you run the risk of
blocking the grilles of the percolation head
and of the filter.

To guarantee a completely successful
espresso, it is also necessary to use fresh
water (i.e., which has not been standing open

to the air for a long time), without any odor
of chlorine and at a cold enough temperature.

Tips :

• For best results, preheat the accessories

(filter holder and cups) by running water
directly into the cups (see paragraph
«Rinsing the water system»).

• The quantity of coffee is already

preprogrammed for the preparation of one
or two cups. To change the pre-programmed
quantity of coffee, refer to the paragraph
“Programming cup filling”.

. Preparing an espresso :

Your appliance allows you to prepare an
espresso using either ground coffee or an
«ESE» measure.

•

Fill the water tank (b).

• Press the “on/off” control «

» (e2), and its

indicator light will flash.

• Turn the function selector (d) to the position

b. Preparing an espresso with an “ ESE ”
measure

• Use only measures of the type “ESE”.
The E.S.E system was designed to make an
Italian-style «ristretto» (pressed) espresso for a
quantity of coffee between 35 and 50 ml.

«ESE» for «

asy

erving

spresso» (simplified

preparation of espresso) is a measure of
selected coffee, ground and compacted
between two filter papers which makes it
ready to use. This system simplifies the
preparation of an espresso by avoiding the
measuring and compressing operations and
facilitating the cleaning of the appliance.

It is neither intended nor recommended that
you make a long coffee with these measures.

We advise that you take care not to deform
the «ESE» measures during handling and
storage.

• Align the arrow on the filter holder with the

position 1 cup «

» by turning the selection

ring (h1)

(5)

• Place the measure in the filter holder fitted

with its «ESE» filter. If the measure has a
tongue, fold down the tongue towards the
interior

(7)

• Put the filter holder in place

(3)

• Place a cup below the filter holder. If

necessary adjust the height of the grille
support
