. WITH THE SPECIAL «ESE» FILTER
The E.S.E. system was designed for making
Italian-style espresso ristreto (squeezed). The
amount of coffee is 35 ml and the water
should take 20 seconds to run through.
(see Individual Programming to adjust volume)
«ESE», which stands for «Easy Serving
Espresso» , is a selected measure of coffee,
ground and pressed between two filter papers
making it ready for use. This system makes it
easy for you to prepare your espresso because
you avoid the measurement and tamping
down operations and it also makes it easier
for you to clean the appliance.
We do not intend, or recommend, that
the ESE servings are used for making a
long coffee.
We recommend that you take care, when
handling and storing the ESE servings, that
they do not become deformed.
For best results, we recommend that you pre-
heat the accessories (filter holder, filter and
cups) without any coffee. Do this as described
in the Making an Espresso using Espresso
Ground Coffee section.
. Preparing an espresso:
• Fill the water tank (1) (2) (3) and start the
appliance (4).
• Place the ESE serving in the ESE filter (18).
Tear excess paper from the pod at the
perforated edge. Place the ESE pod with the
RED MARKING FACE DOWN (bend the paper
corners down).
•Take care to put all the paper inside the filter
to avoid any drips.
Placing the ESE pod correctly will create a
richer, thicker crema.
• Put the filter holder in place (6) (7) (8) by
pressing it firmly to the right.
As soon as the control lamp on the coffee
buttons glows continuously, the appliance is
ready to operate.
• Press the coffee key
(9).
• At the beginning, there is a pre-brewing
time lasting 2 or 3 seconds.
• When the recommended quantity of coffee
has been reached (35ml), press the coffee
button
(9) if suitable volume was not
preprogrammed.
• Remove the filter holder from the brewing
head and throw away the used measure.
. Individual Programming:
Should you wish to alter the preprogrammed
quantity (50ml per cup, manufacturing
setting) of hot espresso filled into one or two
cups, proceed as follows:

appliance (4).
• Put the filter for one or two cups into the
filter holder (5).
