USEFUL TIPS FOR OBTAINING A GOOD ITALIAN ESPRESSO
The grinding level, the quantity of ground coffee, the pressing of coffee into the filter holder and the time spent extracting water afect coffee taste, making it more or less strong, as well as the quality of the cream. Try changing one of these parameters to find the coffee taste you like the most.
When selecting a finer ginding, remember to introduce a larger quantity of coffee into the filter holder and not to excessively press using the coffee presser, otherwise coffee might get watery. Conversely, a coarser grinding requires a smaller quantity of coffee used into the filter holder which should be more pressed with
the coffee presser.
The ground coffee in the filter holder must be pressed slightly.
Store coffee beans into a closed container, in a cool environment protecting it from moisture. If possible, vacuum seal coffee. Buy coffee in small quantities so as to always have it fresh to be ground.

MAINTENANCE OF THE APPLIANCE

Unlocking the coffee grinder
If the coffee grinder gets blocked, the ON/OFF button ( ) will start flashing at intervals of 1 second each. This might be due to impurities among cofee beans (such as shells or pebbles) which have caused the grinder to get blocked.
Remove residual coffee powder from the filter holder.
Press the unlocking lever (0) of the coffee beans container downwards.
Turn the coffee beans container (M) until the symbol on it is aligned with the symbol on the appliance (Fig. 22).
Impurities having caused the appliance to block wll thus fall into the compartment for coffee powder.
Place the filter holder under the coffee grinder (Fig. 14). Insert the filter holder flaps into the specific support under the coffee grinder. Press the flter holder (F) against the coffee grinder support.
Let ground coffee fall into the filter holder. Throw away the ground coffee to remove impurities.
Select the proper grinding level.
Now go on preparing coffee.
