to make coffee using E.S.E. filter pods
Important
If the filter for one cup is used after ground coffee has
been used, it is necessary to clear any ground coffee
from around the liquid coffee/boiler outlet. This is
necessary to avoid water leakages from the filter holder
and to ensure optimum performance. Take care as the
area may be hot.
1 Pre heat the machine as described. This will ensure that
the coffee is delivered at a hotter temperature. Fit the
small filter into the filter holder before fitting it to the
machine, making sure that the tab on the filter fits into the
slot on the filter holder.
2 Place the E.S.E. coffee pod into the filter making sure the
pod is facing the correct way ᕥ.
3 Press the pod towards the lower part of the filter, making
sure that the paper flaps adhere to the inner part of the
filter.
4 The pod needs to be well centred and placed in the filter.
5 Fit the filter holder into the liquid coffee/boiler outlet and
turn to the right until it locks into position ᕡ.
6 Follow the points ‘to make espresso’.
Note – use pods that conform to
the ESE standard.
● Always follow the instructions on the package of the pods
for the correct positioning of the pods in the filter.
to froth milk for cappuccino
Prepare the espresso as previously described
1 Make sure there is water in the tank.
2 Turn the selector knob to the steam position ( ). Wait
until the OK light comes on indicating that the boiler has
reached the correct temperature.
3 Partly fill a jug with milk – the milk may increase up to
three times in volume so select a suitably sized jug.
● Cold skim milk produces the best results.
4 Position the jug under the cappuccino and latte system
ᕦ.
5 Place the nozzle into the milk about 1 inch deep and turn
the steam/hot water knob in an anti clockwise direction.
The milk will begin to increase in volume and appear
frothy. When the volume of the milk has doubled, fully
immerse the nozzle and continue heating the milk. Once
the desired temperature is reached, stop the steam by
turning the steam/hot water knob clockwise.
● Never allow the milk to boil as this will spoil the flavor of
the coffee.
6 Turn the selector knob back to the off position ( ).
7 Pour the frothed milk into the cups containing the
espresso coffee.
Important – Never operate the cappuccino and latte
system for longer than 2 minutes at one time.
hint - to prepare more than one cappuccino, first make
all the coffees then at the end prepare the frothed milk for
all the cappuccinos.
preheating the coffee machine
To ensure your espresso coffee is dispensed at the right
temperature it is essential that the coffee unit is pre
heated.
1 Turn the selector knob to the boiler position ( ).
2 Check that the hot steam/water knob is firmly closed
(turn clockwise) and that there is water in the tank.
3 Fit the desired filter into the filter holder (without coffee)
and attach to the machine by positioning it under the
liquid coffee/boiler outlet and turning to the right ᕡ.
Ensure it is firmly located.
4 Position a cup under the filter holder. If you use the same
cup that the coffee will be served in it will be preheated.
Alternatively the cups can be pre heated on the cup
warming tray.

coffee position ( ).

1 Pre heat the appliance as described above.
2 Check that there is water in the tank.
3 Select the desired filter and fit into the filter holder. Make
sure that the tab on the filter fits into the slot on the filter
holder.

when using coffee E.S.E. pods) and the larger filter for 2
cups.
4 Add the coffee using the measuring spoon provided one
level spoon per cup, level the surface then lightly press
with the back of the measuring spoon. Wipe off any
coffee around the rim.
● When buying ground coffee make sure it is suitable for
espresso machines.

out slowly and the crema will be of a dark color. However,
if it is pressed too lightly, the coffee will come out too fast
and the crema will be a light color.
