NOTICE
► Compaction of the coff ee powder is an essential process for the prepara-
tion of an espresso. If the espresso powder is compacted very strongly, the
espresso runs through more slowly and there is more crema. If the espresso
powder is not so strongly compacted, the espresso runs through more
quickly and it creates very little crema.
4) Insert the sieve carrier w into the appliance by placing it at the marking
“INSERT” and then turning it anticlockwise to the marking “LOCK”.
5) Place one (or two) cup(s) under the sieve carrier openings. We recommend

ve the sieve carrier w.
