[. . . ] NOTICE Always ensure that the espresso sieve 0 q is clean and free of coffee powder residues. 1) When the appliance is heated-up: To prepare an espresso, place the small espresso sieve 0 in the sieve carrier w. To prepare two espressos, place the large espresso sieve q in the sieve carrier w. 2) Fill the small espresso sieve 0 to the max marking with espresso powder. Fill the large espresso sieve q to the max marking with espresso powder.

Then, if necessary, fill it with more espresso powder, until the espresso sieb 0 q is full up to the Max marking. nOTICE Compaction of the coffee powder is an essential process for the preparation of an espresso. If the espresso powder is compacted very strongly, the espresso runs through more slowly and there is more crema. If the espresso powder is not so strongly compacted, the espresso runs through more quickly and it creates very little crema. 4) Insert the sieve carrier w into the appliance by placing it at the marking "INSERT" and then turning it anticlockwise to the marking "LOCK". 5) Place one (or two) cup(s) under the sieve carrier openings. We recommend that you rinse the cups out with hot water beforehand, so that the espresso does not cool so quickly. 6) As soon as the green heating-up control lamp 4 glows, you can turn the rotary switch 5 to the position " ". This means that the hot water, before it is pressed through the espresso powder, stands for a short time in the filter holder. this refines the aroma of the espresso. 7) When the cup(s) are filled to the desired quantity (about 20 ml), turn the rotary switch 5 back to the position " ". 9) After every use remove the espresso powder from the espresso sieve 0 q. remove the sieve holder w from the appliance. Flip the sieve blocker e upwards so that the espresso sieve 0 q cannot fall out of the sieve holder w.
