How to prepare espresso using pods
1. Preheat the machine as described in the section "PREHEAT-
ING THE COFFEE UNIT (8.1)", making sure the portafilter is
attached. This obtains a hotter coffee.
Please note:
Use pods conforming to the ESE standard, indicated on the pack
by the following symbol.
The ESE standard is a system accepted by leading
pod producers and enables espresso to be pre-
pared simply and cleanly.
2. Place the filter for espresso pods (with the
the bottom) in the portafilter (fig. 13).
3. Insert the pod, centering it as far as possible on the filter
(fig. 20). Always follow the instructions on the pod pack to
position the pod on the filter correctly.
4. Attach the portafilter to the machine. Always turn as far as
it will go (fig. 14).
5. Proceed as in points 6, 7 and 8 in the previous section.
9. HOW TO MAKE CAPPUCCINO OR LATTE
1. Prepare the espresso as described in the previous sections,
using sufficiently large cups. Ensure that the unit is on by
pressing the Espresso On/off button.
2. Press the
button: the integrated light flashes to indi-
cate that the machine is heating up (fig. 21).
3. In the meantime, fill a pitcher with about 3.5 oz/100 grams
for each cappuccino or 6 oz/170 grams for each latte to be
prepared. In choosing the size of the pitcher, keep in mind
that the milk doubles or triples in volume.
Please note:
It is recommended to use whole or 2% milk at refrigerator tem-
perature.

Make sure the ring on the cappuccino maker is positioned
downwards in the CAPPUCCINO position and place the
pitcher containing the milk under the cappuccino maker.
5. Wait until the
boiler has reached the ideal temperature for steam produc-
tion. As the boiler heats up, it is normal for a little water
and steam to be given off into the drip tray.
6. Extract the frother by rotating to the left (fig. 22). During
this operation, avoid touching the boiler outlet as it is hot.
Then place the milk pitcher under the frother.
7. Make sure the frother is immersed in the milk. (fig. 23).
Turn the steam dial counterclockwise to the
sition (fig. 24). Steam is delivered from the frother, giving
the milk a creamy frothy texture. For a creamier froth, im-
merse the frother in the milk and move the container with
slow up/down movements.
8. When the required temperature (the ideal is 60°C/140°F)
and froth density is reached, interrupt steam delivery by
turning the steam dial clockwise to the OFF position and
press the

vious section, making sure the ring on the frother is positioned
