- Insert the filter into the portafilter. Fill the espresso powder into the brewing filter. using the provided measuring spoon. The contact pressure in the brewing filter is as important as the coffee variety and the degree of coffee grinding for a good espresso, in addition to the coffee variety and the degree of grinding of the coffee. Therefore, always make sure that the espresso filter is clean and does not contain any powder residues.
- If the grind is too fine, over extraction and bitterness will occur with a spotted and uneven cream on the top. –

- Steam: You are able to do two things with the use of “steam”. You can heat the milk and mix the air with the milk to form a foamy texture. But you have to be patient and if you want to be perfect with the milk texturing process
- ONE : Determine how much milk is needed based on the number of cups being made.
- Tip : Keep in mind that the volume of milk will be increased during the texturing process
- TWO : Pour cold refrigerated milk into the stainless frothing pitcher, approximately 1/3 full.
- THREE : When you press the steam button, it will be flashing. It will be stabilized when it’s ready to be used.
- FOUR: Clean the water on the steam wand. The steam function will be activated by turning to on the steam function and hot water control dial. You can the turn the control dial to OFF position when there will be no more water.

- SEVEN : Turn the cup, so that the steam wand “touches” the nozzle of the cup and lower the cup until the tip of the steam nozzle is just below the surface of the milk. A frothing action will be started in the milk.
- Note : Do not allow the steam to spurt unevenly, because it will create aerated froth/large bubbles. If this is happening, you should raise the cup so that the steam nozzle is lowered further into the milk.
- EIGHT : As the steam heats and textures the milk, the level of the milk in the cup will begin to rise. As this happens, follow the level of the milk by lowering the cup, always keeping thetip of the steam nozzle just below the surface.
- NINE : Once the foam is created, raise the cup until the steam nozzle is in the center of the milk.
