Product Overview
This 2-cup filter is specifically designed for Magimix espresso machines. It integrates into the filter holder handle and is intended for two level scoops of ground coffee. The espresso machine's pump generates pressure, typically between 15 to 18 bars, to efficiently extract coffee molecules. To prevent clogging, it is advisable to avoid using overly fine ground coffee.

Setup and Installation
- Ensure your Magimix espresso machine is turned off and unplugged from the power outlet for safety.
- Locate the filter holder handle on your espresso machine.
- Carefully insert the 2-cup filter into the filter holder handle. Ensure it is properly aligned and seated securely within the holder.
- The filter should fit snugly or click into place, indicating correct installation.
Operating Instructions
- Place two level scoops of your preferred ground coffee into the installed 2-cup filter.
- Distribute the coffee grounds evenly within the filter. If your espresso machine manual recommends tamping, do so lightly according to those instructions.
- Attach the filter holder, with the filled filter, to the espresso machine's group head. Twist it firmly until it is securely locked into position.
- Position your cup(s) directly underneath the spouts of the filter holder.
- Initiate the brewing process by following the specific operating instructions for your Magimix espresso machine.
- Once brewing is complete, carefully remove the filter holder from the machine.
Care and Maintenance
- After Each Use: Remove the used coffee grounds from the filter. Rinse the filter thoroughly under warm running water to eliminate any coffee residue.
- Periodic Deep Cleaning: For a more comprehensive clean, periodically soak the filter in a solution of warm water mixed with a mild descaling agent or an espresso machine cleaner. Always follow the cleaner's specific instructions.
- Stubborn Residue: Use a soft brush to gently scrub any persistent residue from the filter mesh.
- Drying: Ensure the filter is completely dry before storing it or re-inserting it into the machine.
- Avoid: Do not use abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scourers, as these can damage the filter's surface and mesh.
Troubleshooting
- Issue: Coffee not flowing or flowing too slowly.
- Solution: This often indicates that the coffee grounds are too fine, which can clog the filter. Ensure the filter is clean and free of any blockages. Adjust your coffee grind size to be coarser if necessary.
- Issue: Weak or watery coffee.
- Solution: Verify that you are using the correct amount of coffee (two level scoops). Ensure your coffee is fresh and ground appropriately for espresso, not too coarse.
- Issue: Filter not fitting securely into the filter holder.
- Solution: Check that the filter is correctly aligned with the filter holder. Inspect both the filter and the filter holder for any damage, deformation, or debris that might prevent a proper and secure fit.
