Operating Instructions

PREFACE Dear Customer, You have made a good choice by buying this espresso machine. You have purchased a recognised quality product. We would like to thank you for buying this machine and wish you a lot of fun with your new Graef espresso machine. ENJOYING IS MORE THAN JUST HAVING A CUP OF COFFEE! The development of espresso technology, which is used in the Graef group handle espresso machines, dates back to the year 1901. Finely ground coffee grounds are extracted in the machine under high pressure (about 9 bar) in approx. 23 seconds. In case of group handle espresso machines, the removable group handle is manu- ally lled with coffee grounds and then pressed into the lter insert of the group handle - a process which is called "Tamping". To prepare a good espresso, the 4-M formula is a good starting point.

1. The Mixture (Miscela) - Selection of coffee beans.

2. The Mill (Macinacaffè) - A good mill by means of which coffee is always freshly

ground, such as the Graef coffee grinders CM 702, CM 800, CM 802 or CM 900.

3. The Machine (Macchina) - A good device which generates optimal water pres-

4. Made by human hand (Mano) - Due to manual operation, espresso is prepa-

red and coordinated with the 3 other factors.30 ESPRESSO SPECIALITIES Espresso is the basis for a lot of different espresso variants. We would like to intro- duce you to the best known ones.
