4. BREWING COFFEE
4.1 GRINDING AND DOSING
It is necessary to have a coffee grinder with a dosing unit to grind coffee every day.
Grinding and dosing of coffee must be performed according to the instructions of the ma-
nufacturer of the coffee grinder. Please observe also the following:
• In order to get a nice espresso, do not store large amounts of coffee beans. Also check
the expiry date!
• Never grind large amounts of coffee!
• Do not purchase ground coffee as it may lose its fragrance before soon! If necessary,
purchase ground coffee only in vacuumed packages.
4.2 PREPARING THE COFEE
• Fill the piston with 1 portion of ground coffee (about 6 ~ 7 grams) and press it with
the special pressing appliance.
• Fix the handle of the piston to the brewing group. Do not tighten too hard to avoid
damaging the thread.
• For the same reason it is good to clean the edges of the filter holder before fixing the
handle to the socket of the brewing group.
• Follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer of the grinder-doser.
3.2 GAS HEATING (if included)
• Turn the switch (A) round to position 1;
• Open the gas cock (B) placed on the network;
• Keep knob (C) pressed while simultaneously pressing the ON button (D).
When the flame is lit, keep knob (C) pressed for a few seconds for the
thermocouple to warm up;
• Check for the ignition of the flame, through the small window (E);
• Wait for the exercise pressure indicated on the gauge to reach the work
value 1-1,2 bar.
3.3 MIXED GAS+ELECTRICAL HEATING (if included)
• Proceed as above “GAS HEATING”;
• After having checked the flame ignition rotate the switch (A) to position 2. In this way the resistance of the boiler is fed and the exercise
pressure will be reached in a shorter amount of time;
• Wait for the exercise pressure indicated on the gauge to reach the work value 1-1,2 bar.
WARNING
For safety reasons gas heating must be deactivated during long periods that the machine is inactive (night-time or when the
place is closed). It is not advisable to place cloths or other objects on the surface of the cup heater. This would obstruct
normal air fl ow.
