Dispensing Coffee - La Pavoni Esperto Manual De Uso

• If the machine runs out of
water while in operation, the
safety thermostat will trigger and
disconnect power to the machine.
In this case, the thermostat
has to be reset (see section 6 -
Troubleshooting).
4–5. DISPENSING COFFEE
• Select the correct filter basket, small
(19) for 1 cup and large (20) for 2 cups
and place it into the filter holder (10).
Only use the 20 g filter (21) with the
"Fascino" filter holder (22).
• Insert the filter holder and wait for the
group head (11) to reach the correct
temperature (90°C-95°C), indicated on
the plate (15). In the meantime, get the
cups, coffee, milk ready.
• After it has reached the right
temperature, remove the filter holder
(10 or 22) and fill a filter basket (19-
20-21) with ground coffee using
the measuring scoop (18) provided.
Consider one scoop for each cup of
coffee.
• Press the coffee the coffee using the
tamper (17) provided and clean any
residue from the edge of the filter (Fig.
A).
The 1-cup filter basket (19) is
suitable for pods. When putting
the pod into the filter basket,
make sure that the filter paper
does not extend beyond the edge
of the filter holder.
• Hold the machine steady by holding
the handgrip of the lever (1) and insert
the filter holder (10-22) into the group
head (11). Secure it by turning it slightly
from right to left.
• Position the cup or cups under the
spouts of the filter holder.
• Move the lever (1) upwards (while
holding the handle of the filter holder
with your left hand to keep the
machine steady). Hold it in this position
for a few seconds (Fig. C).
• Then lower it as far as it will go in order
to dispense coffee (Fig. D).
• The pressure gauge (14) allows the
pressure exerted on the coffee to be
controlled and modified while it is
being dispensed in order to obtain the
best possible result with every kind of
coffee or blend.
• Repeat this procedure according to the
amount of coffee required.
• After having dispensed a coffee, make
sure that the temperature indicated
on the plate (15) is between 90°C and
95°C. If it is higher, we recommended
that you wait a few minutes to allow
the group head to return to the right
temperature in order not to dispense
burnt coffee.
• After having prepared the coffee,
leave the lever (1) in the down (rest)
position so that any water remaining
in the boiler does not leak out from
the group head (11), and switch the
machine off.
Before dispensing one or more
cups of coffee, make sure that
the level of the water in the boiler
does not fall below the minimum.
• To obtain a good cup of coffee,
it is important that you use a good
quality, well roasted and correctly
ground coffee.
• The espresso coffee machine
requires finely ground coffee. If
the coffee is too coarsely ground,
the coffee will be light coloured
and weak without froth and if the
coffee is too finely ground the
espresso will be dark and strong
and have little froth.
