To deliver 2 cups of coffee or a double quantity of coffee, press 
the   button (C4). The corresponding light comes on.

7.3  Adjusting the coffee mill

The coffee mill is factory-set in such a way that the coffee will 
be delivered correctly and should not require regulating initially. 
However, if after making the first few coffees you find that the 
coffee is either too weak and not creamy enough or delivery is 
too slow (a drop at a time), this can be corrected by adjusting 
the grinding dial (A1) (fig. 10).

Please note!

The grinding adjustment dial must only be turned when the 
coffee mill is in operation.

If the coffee is delivered too slowly or 
not at all, turn one click clockwise to-
wards "7".
For fuller bodied creamier coffee, turn 
one click anticlockwise towards 1 (do 
not turn more than one click at a time 
otherwise the coffee could be delivered 

a drop at a time). 
The effect of the adjustment will be noticed only after making 
a further 2 cups of coffee, at least. If this adjustment does not 
produce the desired result, turn the dial another click.

7.4  Tips for a hotter coffee

For hotter coffee, proceed as follows:
•  perform a rinse cycle before delivering the coffee by pres-

sing the 

 

button (C3). Hot water is delivered from the 

coffee spouts (A17) and hot water spout (if inserted) to 
heat the internal circuits of the appliance and deliver a 
hotter coffee. 

 

Danger of burns! 

Hot water is delivered from the hot 

water spout (if inserted).

•   warm the cups with hot water using the hot water function 

(see section “9. Heating water”).
