4. Nastavitev in prva uporaba

4.1 Začetno čiščenje

1. Razpakirajte vse komponente in odstranite morebitne embalažne materiale.
2. Disassemble the espresso maker by unscrewing the upper chamber from the lower water chamber. Remove the filter basket.
3. Wash all parts thoroughly with warm soapy water. Rinse well and dry completely.
4. For the first use, brew 2-3 batches of espresso using only water (no coffee) to clean the internal components and remove any manufacturing residues. Discard this water.

4.2 Montaža

1. Fill the lower water chamber with cold water up to the level of the safety valve. Do not exceed this level.
2. Insert the filter basket into the lower water chamber.
3. Fill the filter basket with finely ground espresso coffee. Do not tamp the coffee too firmly, as this can impede water flow. Level the coffee gently.
4. Screw the upper chamber firmly onto the lower water chamber. Ensure a tight seal to prevent leaks during brewing.

5. Navodila za uporabo

5.1 Točenje espressa

1. Place the assembled espresso maker on a suitable heat source (gas, electric, ceramic, or induction hob).
2. Use a medium heat setting. High heat can burn the coffee and damage the espresso maker.
3. Water in the lower chamber will heat up, creating steam pressure that forces hot water through the ground coffee in the filter basket.
4. The brewed espresso will rise into the upper chamber.
5. Once the upper chamber is full and you hear a gurgling sound, remove the espresso maker from the heat source immediately.
6. Serve the fresh espresso into cups.

• Use high-quality, finely ground espresso coffee.
• Do not press the coffee grounds too tightly in the filter basket.
• Remove from heat as soon as brewing is complete to prevent a burnt taste.

6.1 Dnevno čiščenje

1. Allow the espresso maker to cool completely after use.
2. Odvijte zgornjo komoro od spodnje vodne komore.
3. Discard used coffee grounds from the filter basket. Rinse the filter basket.
4. Wash all parts with warm water. Avoid harsh detergents, which can leave residues that affect coffee taste.
5. Rinse thoroughly and dry all components completely before reassembling or storing. This prevents water spots and mineral buildup.
