seconds according to your taste or until the milk’s volume has doubled. Make 
sure that the milk does not get too hot or scalded to avoid ruining the froth. 
Never dip the tip more than a centimeter into the milk. For proper frothing a 
hissing sound must be heard. Once the frothing is over, turn the control knob 
to the Off position. When fi nished, half of the contents of the glass pot will be 
composed of hot milk and the other half of foam.

4.  Scoop out the foam from the glass pot into the cup/s with espresso coffee. Add 

some milk. A cappuccino is 1/3 coffee, 1/3 hot milk and 1/3 frothed milk. 

5.  In order to make sure that no vapor is left in the machine, place a recipient 

with cold water under the vapor jet and dip the vapor jet into the water. Turn the 
control knob to the vapor jet position. The remaining vapor is released if the 
vapor jet starts to bubble.

Important

: the pressure of the machine must be released each time before 

brewing. As soon as the bubbling stops, pressure has been completely 
reduced. Turn the control knob to the Off position. Wait a few seconds after 
the brewing before removing the fi lter holder. Remove the remaining ground 
coffee. Clean the machine as described in „Cleaning and Maintenance“.

Useful Tips

• 

The use of fi ltered water or bottled water is highly recommended to enhance 
the taste of the espresso and to avoid the calcifi cation of the machine. Distilled 
water must not be used, as it is dull and tasteless.

• 

The secret for frothing the milk is the right technique, which can be acquired 
only with practice.

• 

If the brewing time of the coffee is longer than usual (i.e. if it takes too long for 
the coffee to fl ow out of the brewing head), then it is likely that the coffee is 
too fi ne, that too little coffee has been used or that the coffee was not pressed 
enough.

• 

If the preparation time for the coffee is shorter (i.e. if the coffee fl ows quickly 
out of the brewing head), then it is possible that either the coffee was too 
coarse after it had been ground, the amount of coffee used was too small or 
the coffee was not pressed down fi rmly enough.

• 

If you prefer to have thicker “foam” for your milk, allow the foamed milk to stand 
for 30 to 60 seconds before you put it in the espresso.

• 

If there is a signifi cant increase in the brewing time and/or frequent clogging of 
the vapor jet occurs, the machine is calcifi ed. Fill the boiler with a citric acid-
based decalcifying agent (see dosing instructions provided by the manufac-
turer). Follow the instructions provided above in „How to make an espresso“. 
Do not fi ll the fi lter bowl with coffee! After this operation carry out 2-3 brewing 
cycles with clear water.
