• Press the start control within 10 seconds and the machine will make the coffee selected.

CAUTION:

HOW TO OBTAIN AN EXCELLENT ESPRESSO
• The brewing time for an excellent espresso will be about 15 - 25 seconds. Elements affecting this
brewing time are the grinding level of the coffee and the quantity of ground coffee. If necessary, the grinding level, as
well as the quantity of ground coffee can be modified (refer to Chapters 8 & 9. Instructions for the first use of the
machine).
Useful advice: coffee is an hygroscopic element that is its quality and characteristics strictly depend on weather (humidity).
Coffee should be ground coarser if humidity in the air is very high, otherwise it will become thick and not flow freely; on the
contrary, the coffee should be ground finer in dry conditions.
