For the FNC2/FNC3 models, if you are using the "ESE" filter holder, which is designed for making Italian espresso "ristretto" (very strong), follow these additional steps: - The "ESE" system uses pre-dosed coffee grounds compressed between two paper filters, making it ready for use without the need for manual dosing and tamping. - It simplifies the preparation of espresso and makes the filter holder easier to clean. - Note that the "ESE" dosing is not intended for making a large cup of espresso. - Be careful not to deform the "ESE" dosing when handling it. 5.
