Step 1

Check your EM-200 water reservoir for water levels. If no water is in the espresso maker or the water level is low, add water to the reservoir by taking off the top and pouring water directly into the unit, or removing the reservoir to fill with water manually. Close the lid of the water reservoir.

Step 2

Adjust the steam and hot water control dial to the "zero" or center position. The one- and two-cup manual indicator lights on the EM-200 will stop flashing when the zero or center position is selected.

Step 3

Remove any excess moisture from the portafilter handle basket, as this will cause the grounds to stick to the basket. Rinse the grounds out of the handle basket and dry the basket with a towel. Add coffee grounds to the dry basket.

Step 4

Check the EM-200's portafilter handle basket for excess coffee grounds. If too much coffee is added to the basket, brush off excess grounds with your finger for an even basket.

Step 5

Check the EM-200's power and indicator lights. The power light, one-cup, and two-cup indicator lights need to be solid, not flashing, or the unit is still warming.
