5.1 Nagħmlu Espresso

2. Ipprepara l-Portafilter:
   • For ground coffee: Insert the appropriate filter basket (single or double) into the portafilter. Fill with finely ground espresso coffee and tamp evenly. Wipe any excess coffee from the rim.
   • For paper pods: Insert the pod filter basket. Place a paper pod into the basket.

5. Neħħi l-Portafilter: Once brewing is complete, carefully twist the portafilter to the left to remove it. Dispose of the used coffee grounds/pod.

5.2 Ir-Ragħwa tal-Ħalib

1. Ipprepara Ħalib: Imla buqar tal-istainless steel bir-ragħwa b'ħalib kiesaħ (tal-ħalib jew mhux tal-ħalib) eżatt taħt il-bekk.

4. Ħalib bir-Ragħwa: Immerse the tip of the steam wand just below the surface of the milk. Open the steam knob. Angle the pitcher to create a swirling motion. As the milk expands, lower the pitcher slightly to keep the tip just below the surface.
5. Saħħan il-Ħalib: Once desired foam is achieved, immerse the wand deeper into the milk to heat it to the desired temperature (typically 60-70°C / 140-160°F).
6. Temm: Close the steam knob, remove the pitcher, and immediately wipe the steam wand with a damp drapp biex jipprevjeni li r-residwu tal-ħalib jinxef.

  • Naddaf il-bastun tal-fwar immedjatament wara kull użu biex tevita l-akkumulazzjoni ta' residwu tal-ħalib.
