How do I brew espresso with my Electrolux E5EC1-31ST UltimateTaste 500 Espresso Machine?

[JosephRose]

Brewing espresso with the Electrolux E5EC1-31ST UltimateTaste 500 is a straightforward process. Here's how to do it: First, prepare the machine. Place it on a stable surface and plug it in. Fill the water tank with cold water. Insert the filter cup into the filter handle and secure it onto the brewing head. Make sure the steam control knob is in the horizontal "OFF" position. Next, start the machine. Press the power button to turn it on; the lights will illuminate and the buttons will blink. Wait for the machine to preheat; the buttons will stop blinking when ready. Now, brew your espresso. Add ground coffee to the one-cup filter cup, or use an E.S.E pod. Attach the filter holder to the brewing head and place a warmed cup on the drip tray. Press the one-cup button to begin brewing. The machine will automatically stop when brewing is finished. If you'd like to brew two cups simultaneously, use the two-cup button. Finally, for cleaning and maintenance, remove the filter handle, clean the filter and drip tray after brewing. The machine has an auto-off function and will power down after 20 minutes of inactivity. For detailed instructions and safety information, always refer to the user manual.
