Usage

With the EspressoMaker, you can prepare 1 or 2 cups of espresso within very short time. The pressure of 15 bar ensures a rich crema. You can use every usual coffee sort. There are special coffee sorts for espresso machines. Just try different sorts in order to find out your favourite. You can use the coffee freshly ground or as coffee soft pods (hard pods with a diameter of 45 mm or soft pods with a diameter of up to 70 mm).

On the pre-warming plate (2), you can warm up the cups in order to enjoy the coffee with an optimum temperature. With the swivelling hot-water / steam nozzle (6), you can froth up milk, warm up liquids or prepare hot water.

Putting into operation

Place the appliance onto a stable and water-resistant surface.
