HOW TO PREPARE AN EXCELLENT ESPRESSO
- A clean machine and the right temperature are the most important elements for preparing a good espresso.
• Make sure that filter, filter-holder and locking nut are always clean. - Unless the machine is not used for very long periods, it should be kept on with the filter-holder inserted into the locking nut to keep it warm.
- Warm the cups with some hot water by pressing the coffee button. This drains the boiler of any water from previus coffee making and the filter holder will be heated.
• After making the last cup of coffee, clean the filter holder by pressing the coffee button again. Thus any ground coffee remain that can alter the taste of the next coffee, will be washed out. - The brewing time for an excellent espresso will be about 15 - 25 seconds. Elements affecting this brewing time are the grinding level of the coffee, the quantity of ground coffee and how much the coffee has been pressed. The machine is calibrated to serve a good-quality coffee. If necessary, the grinding level, as well as the quantity of ground coffee can be modified (refer to Chapter 4. Instructions for the first use of the machine).
- Useful advice: coffee is a hygroscopic element, that is its quality and characteristics strictly depend on weather (humidity). Coffee should be ground coarser if humidity in the air is very high, otherwise it will become thick and not flow freely; on the contrary, the coffee should be ground finer in dry conditions.
8. HOT WATER
- The steam/water pipe can be moved to the back of the cabinet when not in use Use to allow easy access to the filter holder ring nut. Pull forward when required. Do not touch when not

VI ENNESE CAPPUCCI NO
This variation is the result of the age-old Austrian tradition.
Prepare a 'weak' espresso on the machine for 30-35 seconds, then add hot milk topped by whipped cream. Serve in a medium-sized cup (midway between an espresso cup and a cappuccino cup).
Decorate with flakes of chocolate.
COLD ESPRESSO SHAKE
Frothy and extremely refreshing, this drink is delicious on hot days.
Prepare an espresso, add sugar and pour into a shaker with large ice cubes. Shake for few seconds.
Serve in a tumbler or flûte.
IRISH COFFE
Energy-giving and invigorating drink.
Warm a long glass and mix eight parts of hot coffee with one part whisky and brown sugar.
Gently pour some freshly whipped cream over the back of a spoon so that it floats on the coffee: the result is a layer of cool white cream on top of the hot dark coffee.
MEXICAN COFFEE
Intense and exotic.
Mix a portion of double cream, half a teaspoon of cinnamon, a pinch of nutmeg and sugar in a small cup and beat until this mixture becomes frothy.
Pour a teaspoon of chocolate syrup and the coffee into a medium-sized cup, adding a further pinch of cinnamon, and blend together.
Top with a teaspoon of vanilla-flavoured cream.
CAPPUCCI NO ICE-CREAM

Technical line drawings of a dual-chamber appliance with control panel and ventilation slots (no text or symbols)- Remove the drip tray from the machine as it is shown in the figures above.
• Make sure that the drip tray is periodically drained to prevent any liquid from seeping out and dirtying/damaging the underlying furniture. Drip tray and relevant grill can be washed in a dishwasher.
FILTER - FILTER-HOLDER - LOCKING NUT
• Always keep filters, filter-holder and locking nut clean. Any coffee residue can alter the taste of the next cups of coffee. Wash filters and filter holder in dishwasher every month.

- The steam nozzle should be periodically cleaned. After Preparing milk for cappuccinos etc. Remove the nozzle as shown in the figures above and wash with a sponge in warm water.
Attention: Before cleaning the steam nozzle, always switch the machine off and wait for at least 20 minutes so that the steam pipe can cool down. This will avoid the risk of scalding.
WATER RESERVOIR
- If the machine is not used for long periods, change the water in the reservoir and drain the boiler by pressing the coffee button several times.
- Clean the water reservoir periodically.
• The water reservoir can be washed in a dishwasher. - When using the Brita filter, replace it after approximately 2000 cups of coffee or at least every three months.
CLEANING CYCLE OF THE BOILER
-
This coffee machine is an appliance using water, therefore it is normal that some line scale of limestone can form in its boiler.
• It is raccomended to carry out the following operations every six months: -
Fill up the water reservoir with 1.5 litres of water adding half a glass of vinegar or citric acid.
- Carry out the same operations as preparing some cups of coffee (refer to the previous Chapter “Coffee”), but without ground coffee or pods, so that only water will flow out of the filter holder until the reservoir is completely empty.
- Fill the reservoir again with cold water and repeat the above process (without using coffee as before) to rinse the boiler.
