Thank you for your loyalty and for the confidence you have shown in our brand.

You have just acquired a Magimix Expresso and we hope that it will give you

entire satisfaction. This appliance has been designed to produce genuine

espresso coffee.

Please read these instructions carefully before using your appliance

and keep them in a safe place.

Golden rules for making good espresso coffee

An espresso is a strong coffee with an extremely rich aroma, characterised

by its “chamois” coloured cream. To get the very best results, you must

follow four golden rules :

Quality of the ground coffee.

Use special espresso coffee that has been freshly roasted and ground.

To conserve all its freshness, avoid exposing it to air as much as possible.

Remember to push out as much air as possible each time you close the packet,

and keep it in an airtight container in the fridge.

Water quality.

A cup of coffee is more than 98% water! Chlorine, which is often present in

tap water, can spoil the taste of your coffee, while a build-up of limescale will

prevent your appliance from working properly. For these reasons, either use

bottled spring water (low mineral content) or filter your tap water.

Temperature.

The water which passes through the ground coffee should be simmering,

never boiling. The thermostat on your Magimix Expresso guarantees an

optimum brewing temperature.

Preparation.

You must preheat the empty filter holder. Before brewing the first cup of coffee,

allow the equivalent of a cupful of water to pass through it. Also remember to

preheat your cups. Place them on the cup heater tray or warm them through

using the hot-water pipe (cf. p. 12). That way, you will be able to enjoy your

espresso coffee in the best conditions, from the very first cup.

Espresso coffee should be served in a thick cup – conical, if possible, so that

all the cream rises to the surface.

Every single Magimix appliance is tested before it leaves the factory, which is why you may find

traces of water when you unpack your coffee maker. This is perfectly normal.

Before you use it for the first time, or if the machine has been left idle for a long period, rinse out

the water circuit to eliminate any residual water in the system.

Installation

•Lift up the appliance and unwind the length of power cord you

require. Wedge the cord into the specially-provided notch.

•Lift the water tank right out from behind and fill it with freshly-drawn

water. When you put it back, place the flexible tube inside.

➣You can also fill the water tank directly via the inlet located in the

storage compartment.

Never fill the tank with hot water.

•Plug your appliance into an earthed socket.

•Turn the function selector as far as it will go, so that it is pointing to .

•For the Expresso Program Automatic model, you must also move

the water volume adjuster to the maximum level by turning it in an

anti-clockwise direction as far as the large .

•Switch your appliance on by pressing . The indicator light will

come on and the light will start to flash. When stays on, the

appliance is ready to brew coffee.

NB : If the selector is not turned to , the and indicator lights

will flash.

BEFORE YOU USE YOUR APPLIANCE

FOR THE FIRST TIME

L'Expresso AN 30/07/03 10:11 Page 6

•Place a fairly wide container under the pipe, press , and turn the selector function to .

Allow the equivalent of a bowlful of water to flow through. To halt the flow, turn the function selector

back to .

•Insert the empty filter holder (filter locking device at the back) in the

extractor head, opposite the arrow, and turn it towards the right.

•Place a sufficiently wide container under the filter holder and press

. The red indicator light will start to flash and the water will flow

into the bowl.

Stop the flow when the bowl is full by pressing again.

Wait for 10 to 15 seconds before removing the filter holder.

•Once the rinsing operation is finished, switch your appliance off by pressing , lift out the

water tank and empty it. Clean the tank, filter holder and filters. Fill the tank with freshly-drawn

water and put it back.

Setting the water hardness level

(Program and Program Automatic models only).

The Expresso Program and Expresso Program Automatic automatically tell you when they need

to be descaled (the indicator light will start to flash), but you must first adjust your appliance

according to the hardness of your water.

1- Measure the hardness of your water (cf. p.13).

2- Adjust the hardness setting on your appliance.

The Expresso has four hardness settings.

•Plug your appliance in but do not switch it on. Press for five seconds until the indicator

lights come on.

•Keep pressing briefly until you reach the right hardness setting. The hardness level

corresponds to the number of indicator lights that come on (cf. table below).

•To memorize the setting and exit the adjustment process, press . All the lights will go out.

NB : If no switch is activated for one minute, the process will automatically be interrupted (the

indicator lights will go out), without affecting the last memorized setting.

Indicator light on. Flashing indicator light. Indicator light off.

Preparing your appliance

•Fill the tank with freshly-drawn water.

•Press : The power indicator light will come on and stay on, while

the indicator will start to flash.

NB : If the function selector has not been turned to , both the

and indicators will flash.

•Choose the filter according to the type of espresso coffee you wish

to brew.

•Place the filter you have chosen in the filter holder.

- 1 cup ground coffee or coffee pod = small filter.

- 2 cups ground coffee = large filter.

•Ground coffee

1 - Fill the filter using the measuring spoon :

1 level spoonful = 1 cup, 2 level spoonfuls = 2 cups.

NB : Level = full but not rounded.

Too fine a grind of coffee may block the filter.

Too much ground coffee may cause the filter holder to

overflow.

2 - Tamp down the coffee using the leveller (keep it horizontal in the

filter).

Do not compact the coffee.

Do not leave any ground coffee on the rim of the filter

holder.

HOW TO BREW ESPRESSO COFFEE?

L'Expresso AN 30/07/03 10:11 Page 8

•Coffee pod

The 1 cup filter can cater for most types of espresso pods on the

market. Place the pod in the special filter. As the shape of the paper

may vary according to the brand, make sure that the pod is positioned

in the centre of the filter.

Fold over the edges of the filter paper to avoid them sticking out

of the filter.

•Insert the filter holder (filter locking device towards the back) in the

extractor head, opposite the arrow and turn it to the right.

NB : The handle should be off centre, pointing slightly to the right.

•Position one or two cups under the filter holder.

You can only brew one cup of coffee at a time using the pod filter.

Switching it on

•Check that the function selector has been turned to and that the

machine is ready ( and indicator lights on and no longer

flashing).

NB : The brewing takes place in two stages, as your appliance has

a system for pre-humidifying the ground coffee in order to bring out

its full flavour.

•For the Expresso and Expresso Program models : press : the red

indicator light will start to flash and the coffee will start to flow. Once

you have obtained the amount of coffee you want, press again.

The flow will stop and the red light will stay on.

•For the Expresso Program Automatic model :

Your model is programmed to halt the flow of coffee automatically,

once it has produced a preselected volume :

- Turn the volume adjuster to select the amount of coffee you wish to

brew.

- Press : the coffee will start to flow, then cease automatically.

NB : The actual amount of coffee produced will depend on the type of coffee (ground or pod), the

fineness of the grind, the quantity of coffee and the compactness of the ground coffee.

L'Expresso AN 30/07/03 10:11 Page 9

NB : During the brewing process, the pump will make a characteristic noise. This is nothing to

worry about.

Wait 10 to 15 seconds before removing the filter holder.

• Remove the filter holder by turning it to the left.

NB : After the coffee has been brewed, one or two drops may fall

from the filter holder (water still in the filter). This is quite normal.

• Discard the coffee pod or coffee grounds, tapping the filter holder

to dislodge them. Make sure you push the filter locking device

against the filter and hold it firmly in place to prevent the filter from

falling out along with the grounds or the coffee pod.

NB : You may find it useful to use a teaspoon.

• Rinse the filter holder under running water.

Put the filter holder back in the extractor head in order to brew your next cup of coffee at the

optimum temperature.

NB : When the appliance is switched on, it is quite normal for the indicator to go on and

off from time to time (temperature control).

Manual or automatic switch-off

• Manual :

Press the on/off switch : all the indicator lights will go out.

• Automatic :

For safety and energy-saving reasons, your Magimix Expresso is fitted with an automatic

switch-off device. It automatically turns itself off two hours after it was last used.
