OPERATION - Before first use
1. Remove the packaging.
2. Clean the appliance See "Cleaning and maintenance".
WARNING:
• The first few times, your coffee may have a metallic taste. To prevent this, you'll first have to brew a
'try-out' pot four to five times. Do not use your best coffee beans for it, the coffee these test rounds
produce is not meant to be served.
3. Brew a carafe of espresso. See "Brewing espresso".
4. Rinse the carafe with hot water.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 around five times.
After ample time, the inside of the carafe will discolor and attain a dark, coffee-colored layer. When this
has happened, your espressomaker is ready for optimal use.

6. Fill the coffee container with espresso grounds and spread the grounds evenly over the surface. Fill it
up to the marking halfway the container.
