Espresso, the manual's way

Brew a coffee (the manual)

The manual's steps.

1. Check the water level and refill if needed.
2. Wait for the orange light to go off.
3. Fit the 1- or 2-cup basket, dose and tamp, and remove the grounds from the rim.
4. Lock the portafilter in and put the cup under it.
5. Switch the coffee switch on to start and off to stop.
6. Take the portafilter out, knock it out and lock it back in.

The manual gives no warm-up time, no flush before the first shot and no shot volume. You stop the shot yourself.
