MAKING ESPRESSO COFFEE

Helpful hints

• Always use fresh water and keep the tank

clean.

• Before dispensing the coffee, always wait for

the OK light to come on: this indicates that the

water in the boiler has reached the ideal tem-

perature for coffee-making.

• In order to obtain a perfect cup of coffee,

avoid the use of plastic or paper cups.

• Before making coffee, warm the cups, filter

holder and filters.

The accessories can be heated with hot tap water

or in the following way:

• Turn on the machine by pressing the ON/OFF

switch (11) (fig. 4).

• Insert the 1- or 2-cup filter, or the ‘illycaffè’

pods filter (as required) in the filter holder and,

without adding coffee, attach the filter holder

to the machine as explained above. Place a

coffee cup beneath the filter holder.

• Wait for the OK light to come on (fig. 7).

• Press the delivery switch again, then remove

and drain the filter-holder, the filter and the

cups.

It is important that you use coffee ground especial-

ly for home espresso machines.

Arabica coffee is recommended as it has a low

level of caffeine; it is also sweet, has low acidity

and is easy to digest.

The ideal amount of coffee is 6.5 g for one cup,

and about 13 g for two cups (1 or 2 measures).

The optimum dispensing time is about 20 seconds.

Your machine is equipped with an ‘anti-cooling’

adaptor (24) allowing you to dispense the coffee

into two cups. To attach this to the filter holder, just

align the guide on the adaptor with the pin on the

filter holder, push the adaptor up and turn it (see

fig.11).

Using the pressure gauge (if fitted)

When making expresso coffee, the pressure at

which the pump forces the water through the cof-

fee is extremely important.

Your coffee machine is fitted with a 3-section pres-

sure gauge which enables you to check that the

delivery pressure is correct (fig. 12):

Sector 1: Pressure too low

Sector 2: Pressure correct

Sector 3: Pressure too high

Also, regulation of the pressure allows you to

obtain a cup of coffee to suit your personal taste.

Check the position of the pressure indicator while

the coffee is being delivered: if the indicator in in

the upper part of sector 2:

• your coffee will be weak

If the indicator is in the lower part of sector 2:

• your coffee will be strong

By varying the delivery time, you can vary the

strength and the concentration of the coffee you

obtain, depending on the position of the pressure

indicator.

Procedure

• Switch on the machine by pressing the

ON/OFF switch (fig. 4) and wait until the

“OK” pilot lamp lights (fig. 7). This lamp indi-

cates that the machine is ready to perform the

selected function (in this case, to make coffee).

A few drops of water may escape from the

boiler nozzle. This is perfectly normal.

• Insert the 1- or 2-cup filter, or the ‘illycaffè’ pods

filter (as required) in the filter holder (fig. 13)

• Heat the filter holder and filter by attaching

them, empty, to the machine and pressing the

dispenser switch for a few seconds. Drain,

then fill the filter with ground coffee, spreading

it evenly (fig. 14) and pressing it. If the coffee

is damp or ground very finely, press it only

lightly. If the coffee is dryer, or more coarsely

ground, press it slightly more. After pressing

it, if necessary, add extra coffee to the rim.

• After filling the filter and pressing the coffee,

put the automatic press (17) in position as
