This movement guarantees proper pressurized fi lter holder
performance.

(Fig.19)
- Remove the pressurized fi lter holder from the
machine by turning it from right to left and pour out any
water left.
•
(Fig.12)
- Insert the pod into the fi lter holder and make
sure the paper of the pod does not overhang the fi lter
holder.
•
(Fig.13)
- Insert the pressurized fi lter holder into the brew
unit (8) from the bottom.
•
(Fig.14)
- Turn the fi lter holder from left to right until it
locks into place.
• Take
1 preheated cup
and place it under the fi lter holder.
Check that it is correctly placed under the coff ee brewing
nozzles.
•
(Fig.16) -
Switch the selection knob (17) to the "
"
position.

TIPS FOR CHOOSING COFFEE
As a general rule any type of coff ee available on the market can
be used. However, coff ee is a natural product and its fl avour
changes according to its origin and blend; it is therefore a good
idea to try diff erent types of coff ee in order to fi nd the most
suited to your personal taste.
For optimal results, we recommend using espresso machine
blends. As a rule, coff ee should always come out of the
pressurized fi lter holder, without dripping.
The coff ee brewing speed can be modifi ed by slightly changing
the amount of coff ee in the fi lter and/or using a diff erent coff ee
grind.
Saeco recommends using ESE single-dose coff ee pods for a
tasty coff ee and easier cleaning and preparing.
