the filter holder (7).

of espresso.
Then insert filter-holder (8) into the appliance.
3 After the warm-up period, remove the warm filter-holder
(7) from the brewing head and fill with correctly ground
espresso coffee using the measuring spoon provided.
Place one level measure of coffee in basket for each cup
of espresso.
Do not overfill.

approximately 45 degrees to the left as you face machine.
When properly aligned,move handle firmly to the right to

filter holder by moving handle to the left. Be careful as
