MAKING COFFEE
Selecting the coffee taste
The machine is set by default to make coffee with a standard
taste.
You can also choose one of these tastes:
Mild taste
Standard taste
Strong taste
To change the taste, press the button (fig. 8) repeatedly until
the required taste is displayed.
Selecting the coffee
To select the coffee, turn the selection knob (fig. 9) until the
light corresponding to the required quantity of coffee comes on:
Coffee
selected
Quantity in cup
(ml/oz)
2-cups or
double size
ESPRESSO
30ml (1oz)
Press
COFFEE
120ml (4oz)
LONG
120ml (4oz)
If you want to deliver 2 cups of coffee or a double size of coffee,
press the button: the corresponding light comes on.
Adjusting the coffee mill
The coffee mill is preset in the factory to make coffee correctly
and should not require adjusting initially.
However, if after making the first few coffees you find that the
coffee is too thin and not creamy enough or that delivery is too
slow (a drop at a time), this can be corrected by adjusting the
grinding adjustment dial (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 on the
other hand, 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).
These adjustments will only be evident after at least 2 cups of
coffee have been delivered.
If this adjustment does not obtain the desired result, turn the
dial another click.
Tips for a hotter coffee
For a hotter coffee, before delivery you are recommended to:
• rinse the machine through by pressing the
button. Hot
water flows out of the coffee spouts and heats the internal
circuit of the machine so that the coffee delivered will be
hotter.
Danger of burns!
If inserted, hot water will flow
out from the hot water spout.
• warm the cups with hot water (using the hot water
function).
Making coffee using coffee beans
Important!
Do not use caramelised or candied coffee beans as they could
stick to the coffee mill and make it unusable.
1. Place coffee beans in the coffee bean container (fig. 11).
2. Place under the coffee dispensing spouts, either:
- 1 cup if you want one coffee (fig. 12);
- 2 cups if you want 2 coffees.
3. Lower the spouts as near as possible to the cup. This makes
a creamier coffee (fig. 13).
4. Press the
button.
5. Preparation begins and automatically stops.
Please note:
• While the machine is making coffee, delivery can be inter-
rupted at any moment by pressing the
button.
• At the end of delivery, to increase the quantity of coffee in
the cup, just press and hold (within 3 seconds) the
button.
Once the coffee has been made, the machine is ready to make
the next drink.
Please note!
• Lights may be displayed on the control panel during use.
Their meaning is given in the section “Explanation of the
lights” on page 16.
• For hotter coffee, see the section “Tips for a hotter coffee”
(page 11).
• If the coffee is delivered a drop at a time, too weak and not
creamy enough or too cold, read the tips in the “Trouble-
shooting” section on page 19.
Making coffee using pre-ground coffee
Important!
• Never add pre-ground coffee when the machine is off or it
could spread through the inside of the machine and dirty
it. This could damage the machine.
