WITH AN "E.S.E." ESPRESSO POD
"ESE" for "Easy Serving Espresso" is a packaged pod (44 mm diameter) of 7g or 1 scoop of
selected coffee, ground and compacted between two paper filters, specially designed to make
Italian style ristrettos (tight espressos).
This system allows immediate, simple, clean and comfortable use of your machine.
n Fill the water tank and turn the machine on (fig. 1, 2, 3 and 4). During the pre-heating phase, the
indicator light will flash.
n Tear the excess paper off the pod, put the E.S.E. pod in the filter holder, with the red writing facing down
(fig.6).
Be sure to place all the paper inside the filter holder, otherwise there might be leaks.
n If the pod is not positioned correctly, the result in the cup will not be satisfactory.
n Never use two pods together.
n Then, follow steps of figures 7 to 11.
WITH A SOFT POD
Your machine is also compatible with soft pods (usually 2.3 inches in diameter). Given that this
kind of pod is not specifically designed for espresso machines, you will get a less full-bodied
espresso than with an E.S.E. pod.

indicator lamp will flash.
n Place a soft pod in the filter holder. Never use two pods together. If the pod is not positioned correctly,
the result in the cup will not be satisfactory.
n Then, follow steps of figures 7 to 11.

6. STEAM FUNCTION

Steam is used to froth milk (for example to make a cappuccino or a cafe latte) thanks to the cappuccino
accessory.
To produce steam, the pump works by emitting an intermittent noise.
After using the steam function, the appliance cools automatically by pumping cold water through
the heating system. During the pumping cycles, the excess steam in the heating system is released with the
hot water into the drip tray. The steam and noise that accompany this phase are important for
cooling the appliance.
Warning: during and after using the appliance, the metal parts of the steam nozzle can become very hot.
