At this stage you can insert the filterfor the ground coffee.N.B.: Use the “perfect crema” device with the 2-cupsfilter basket, only. To make 1 or 2 espresso coffees, simplyfill the 2-cups filter basket with the right amount of groundcoffee (one or two measures).We recommend that the “perfect cream” device becleaned on a daily basis, before use, in order to preventany blockage of the delivery holes. A pin may be usedto clean out the hole.
