Until you have worked through the cumbersome manual, several espressos are done with other machines. About one reads in the tangle something about that the water tank must be specially pressed into its seat (which works with other machines by sliding in), just over 1 liter of water runs freely through the kitchen. To get the filter holder into its seat, sight from below is necessary - just as is the passport office. The insertion does not work without the machine must be held in place by force, and a notch or stop, as mentioned in the description is not felt. So you do not know how far and with how much force you need to turn. Anyway, I was always afraid to damage the bayonet. And quite suddenly shot - at a neutral position of the selector lever and even before I had begun the complicated venting process according to instructions - Hot steam from the steam valve on the right hand back (which I had forgotten about what was not prohibited by manual ;-). When I wanted to have later hot steam, hot water came first. This time without hand. In addition, this machine was so amateurish packed within their damaged and partially soaked cartons and provided with signs that they could come only from someone who had, perhaps, also sent them the same reasons as I return. And returns that are turned on me as new, I do not accept in principle!
