Make sure the variable steam knob is closed by turning clockwise (don’t
overtighten).
Lift the lid, then lift out the tank and fill with cold water. Never fill above the
“MAX” level marked. Alternatively lift the lid and fill the tank whilst in position.
We recommend using filtered water as it produces better coffee and reduces
limescale. Never use fizzy water or any other liquid.
Re fit the tank. Make sure that it is correctly located and apply light pressure if
necessary to ensure the valve at the bottom of the tank connects with the
bottom of the machine.

around the rim.
When buying ground coffee make sure it is suitable for espresso machines.
Never press the coffee too firmly as it will block the filter and the coffee will
come out very slowly and the crema will be of a dark colour. However, if it is
pressed too lightly, the coffee will come out too fast and the crema will be a
light colour and the coffee will taste watery.
Fit the filter holder. Make sure that the tab on the filter fits into the slot on the
