2 cups of espresso, 2 small glasses of cognac, 2 teaspoonfuls of brown sugar, fresh
cream.
• Pour the cognac into heat-resistant glasses, heat and flame.

If you like, the espresso can also be diluted with a little boiling water.
(*: The abuse of alcohol is dangerous to your health).
- Never wash your espresso machine accessories in the dishwasher.
After use, the water tank must be emptied.
. Drip tray
If several espressos are being prepared one after the other, the drip tray should be emp-
tied from time to time (about once every 7 - 8 espressos) (19). It is normal for there to be
water present; this does not indicate that there is a leak, but that your machine’s
thermoblock is being purged. If necessary, clean the drip tray and drip tray grid with
water and a little non-abrasive cleanser, rinse and dry. Replace it correctly (20).
. The brewing head, the filter and the filter holder
These must be cleaned after each use. All you need to do is wipe with a damp cloth over
the brewing head of your machine and to wash the other accessories in water and a little
non-abrasive cleanser, rinse and dry.
If the brewing head is heavily clogged up, unscrew the grid, clean it and refit it, pressing
down firmly (21).
When your espresso machine is not being used, do not leave the filter holder on
the machine as it will cause unnecessary wear of the gasket.
. The cup warming plate: remove this to clean it with water and a little non-abrasive
dish soap, rinse and dry.
