PREPARING THE COFFEE
1. Place the 1 or 2 cup filter into the filter
holder and fill with espresso coffee (use
the smaller filter for 1 cup and the larger
filter for 2 cups).
2. Use 1 level measure of espresso coffee
for the 1 cup filter and 2 level measures
for the 2 cup filter. It is important to use
the correct amount of coffee as the filter
perforations have been constructed for
optimal pressure build up in the machine.
3. Distribute the coffee evenly and press it lightly
with the bottom of the measuring spoon (if
there is too much coffee, the flow of water
can become blocked).
4. Clean any excess coffee from the rim of
the filter holder to ensure a proper fit
under the brew head.
5. Holding the handle of the filter holder, slide
back the black release clip towards you.
6. Place the filter holder underneath the brew
head so that the handle is positioned to the
left of center. Lift the filter holder until it
contacts the brew head and rotate to the
right. This will lock it in place.

BREWING COFFEE
1. Make sure the Selector Control is in the
‘OFF’ position.
2. Plug the power cord into a 120V
electrical outlet. Set the power
switch to the ‘ON’ position.
3. As soon as the orange ‘heating’ light
turns off, the machine is heated up.
4. Make sure the drip tray is in place.
5. Place one or two pre-heated cups
beneath the filter holder.
6. Set the selector control to the
‘ESPRESSO’ position.
7. After a few seconds, aromatic coffee will
begin to run through.
8. When sufficient coffee has flowed into the
cups, set the selector control to the ‘OFF’
position. This will stop the flow of coffee.
9. If you do not need to use the steam
function, set the power switch to the ‘OFF’
position, unplug the power cord and allow
the machine to cool.
10.Remove the filter holder from the brew
head and using the filter retainer clip to
secure the filter in the filter holder, turn
the filter holder upside down to empty the
used coffee (used coffee grounds should
be thrown away with domestic waste and
not down the sink which may block
drains). Rinse the filter and filter holder
with water and allow to dry.
PREPARING ESPRESSO PODS
Your Café Roma can be used with most
leading brands of espresso pods. To prepare
the pod for brewing, place the pod in the
1-cup filter and ensure that all of the pod’s
surface area is fitted inside the filter. If the
edges of the pod overflow the filter, you will
need to trim them off until the pod is
contained wholly within the filter. Lock the
filter holder in place and brew the coffee as
per the instructions on this page.

The machine remains ready
for brewing and maintains a
constant heating temperature
as long as the Power switch
is left in the ‘On’ position. If
the temperature should
drop, the orange control
light will illuminate and the
heater will automatically
heat up to the correct
brewing temperature.
The quality of the coffee
and crema produced will
be dependent on the type
of pod used.
Only use the 1 cup filter when
using the espresso pods.
