[. . . ] - Place one or two coffee cups below the spout of the filter holder. 6 TIPS ON HOW TO PREPARE AN EXCELLENT ESPRESSO COFFEE - To make a good espresso coffee, the cleanliness of the machine and the right temperature are fundamental. - Make sure that the filter, the filter holder and the ring nut are kept perfectly clean. - Unless you are away for long periods, keep the machine turned on and the filter holder in the ring nut to keep it hot. - Heat the coffee cups by filling them with hot water (press the coffee button). This also eliminates some of the water left in the boiler as well as heats the filter holder. - When you have finished using the machine clean the filter holder by running the machine without coffee. This method eliminates any residues which could alter the flavour of the coffee the next time you use the machine. - For an excellent espresso, let the machine run for 20-25 seconds. The time required depends on the texture of the ground coffee, the quantity of coffee used and how firmly the coffee is pressed. The machine is already calibrated to make good quality coffee. If necessary the grinding texture and the quantity of ground coffee dosed can be adjusted (see paragraph "First Use") to obtain the required strength and flavour. - Keep the steam button (ref. 6) pressed and wait until the red indicator light (ref. 9) goes out. - Place the receptacle beneath the steam spout and slowly turn the steam knob (ref. 1) anti-clockwise. - When you have finished with the steam close the steam knob (ref. 1) and press the steam button (ref. 6). RECIPES ITALIAN CAPPUCCINO This is a normal espresso coffee with steamheated milk that gives the coffee a milder flavour and a rich, frothy topping. Pour cold milk into a tall jug and heat it using the steam spout if your machine has one. Add only the froth to the espresso coffee, to do this either tilt the jug slightly rocking it backwards and forwards while you pour or use a spoon to scoop off the froth. You can also add a dusting of cocoa powder to taste. VIENNESE CAPPUCCINO HOT WATER - Place the coffee cup below the steam spout (ref. 16). - Turn the steam knob (ref. 1) anti-clockwise. Release the button when you have the required amount of hot water and close the steam knob (ref. 1). This variation is the result of age-old Austrian tradition. Prepare a 'long' espresso by letting the machine run for longer than usual (30-35 seconds), add hot milk followed by whipped cream. Serve in a medium-sized cup (midway between and espresso cup and a cappuccino cup). Decorate with flakes of chocolate. STEAM - Steam is used to make cappuccino coffee (see chapter "Recipes"). 7 COLD ESPRESSO SHAKE Frothy and extremely refreshing, this makes a pleasant drink on hot days. Prepare an espresso coffee, add sugar and pour into a cocktail shaker with large ice cubes.
