Introducing the exclusive world of espresso through the global leaders,

De’Longhi. Based in Treviso, Italy, we grew up appreciating the taste and

aroma of a good cup of coffee.

Discover the barista brewing inside you: now you can make authentic espressos,

lattes and cappuccinos to suit your taste, in the comfort of your kitchen. Enjoy!

Recommendations for producing

a better espresso:

Use freshly ground espresso.

Store coffee beans in a cool, dark and dry

container. Vacuum sealed if possible.

Pre-heat your espresso and cappuccino cups

using the cup warmer storage on the top of

the machine.

Ensure your ﬁrst coffee is the ideal temperature

by pre-warming the ﬁlter / ﬁlter holder before

making coffee. Simply ﬁt the ﬁlter / ﬁlter holder

(without coffee) into the machine and place a

cup underneath. Select the single cup option

and ‘purge’ the machine allowing hot water to

pass through the ﬁlter into the cup

Use one level scoop of freshly ground coffee

for best results. This is roughly 7 grams.

Tamping the coffee is recommended to produce

an even compact bed of coffee for brewing.

Tamping is important as applying too little

pressure will cause the coffee to be weak

(under extracted) and applying too much

pressure may result in thick, burnt coffee

(over extracted).

Grind size can affect the brew strength.

If coffee is ground too coarse, then coffee will

ﬂow too quickly and be weak (under extracted).

Coffee that is ground too ﬁne will ﬂow slowly

and may be thick or burnt (over extracted).

Remove any residual coffee grounds from

the ﬁlter / ﬁlter holder rim before placing

into the machine for brewing.

PUMP ESPRESSO TIPS AND TRICKS

Recommendations for producing

a better cappuccino or latte:

Once steam has been selected ‘purge’ the

steam nozzle/frother to eliminate any excess

water before you start frothing the milk.

Always use fresh, cold milk

. Some milks that do

not require refrigeration will not produce an

acceptable foam.

Once you have frothed the milk tap the jug on

the counter to remove any large air bubbles

‘Spin’ or swirl the milk to ensure the milk and

foam combine a little and to give it a glossy ﬁnish.

Pour the milk/foam immediately after spinning/

swirling to ensure that milk and foam do

not separate.

Choosing the water hardness is very

important to set the correct frequency of

the descaling cycles. Keeping the machine

clean will improve its performance and

prolong the life of the machine.

TEST YOUR WATERDELIVERING HOT WATER

Measuring Water Hardness

1. Remove the “total hardness test” indicator paper from the pack.

2. Immerse the paper completely in a glass of water for one second.

3. Remove the paper from the water and shake lightly. After about a minute,

1,2,3, or 4 red squares form, depending on the hardness of the water.

Each square corresponds to one level.

ABCD

Important!

• Descaler contains acids which may irritate the skin and eyes. It is vital to respect the manufacturer’s safety warnings

given on the descaler pack and

the warnings relating to the procedure to follow in the

event of contact with the skin

and eyes. Use De’Longhi

descaler only. Under no circumstances

should you use sulphamic or acetic based descalers.

Their use invalidates the guarantee. Failure to descale the

appliance as described also invalidates the guarantee.

DESCALING

Important! Danger of Burns

Hot water containing acid ﬂows from

the spout. Avoid contact with splashes

of water.
