Operating Instructions
Follow these steps to brew a perfect espresso:
- Fill the lower chamber (base) with cold water up to the level of the safety valve. Do not overfill.
- Insert the filter funnel into the lower chamber.
- Fill the filter funnel with finely ground coffee. Do not tamp the coffee down. Level the coffee gently.
