The first time you use the appliance, you will need to make a
number of coffees to identify the correct knob position through
trial and error.
Make sure not to turn the knob too far clockwise, otherwise the
coffee may be delivered too slowly (a drop at a time), particular-
ly when making two cups of coffee.
Selecting the quantity of coffee in the cup
Select the required quantity of coffee by turning the knob.
Turning it clockwise increases the amount of coffee obtained.
The first time you use the appliance, you will need to make a
number of coffees to identify the correct knob position through
trial and error.
Adjusting the coffee mill
The coffee mill is set by default to prepare coffee 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 adjustment knob (fig. 7).
Please note:
The grinding adjustment knob 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
towards “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).
These adjustments will only be evident after at least 2 cups of
coffee have been made.
If this adjustment does not obtain the desired result, turn the
knob another click.
Tips for a hotter coffee:
For hotter coffee, you should:
• before delivering the coffee, perform a rinse cycle by
pressing the button. Hot water is delivered from the
spout, heating the internal circuits of the appliance and
thus raising the coffee temperature.
• warm the cups by rinsing them 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. Fill the container with coffee beans (fig. 8).
2. Place under the coffee spouts:
- 1 cup, if you want 1 coffee (fig. 9);
- 2 cups, if you want 2 coffees.
3. Lower the spouts as near as possible to the cup. This makes
a creamier coffee (fig. 10).
4. Press the button corresponding to the number of coffees
required (1 cup or 2 cups , fig. 11 and 12).
5. Preparation begins and the and lights
flash.
Please note:
• While the machine is making coffee, delivery can be inter-
rupted at any moment by pressing one of the two coffee
buttons (
or ).
• At the end of delivery, to increase the quantity of coffee
in the cup, just press (within 3 seconds) one of the coffee
buttons (
or ).
Once the coffee has been made, the appliance is ready to use
again.
Please note:
For hotter coffee, see the section “ Tips for a hotter coffee ”.
Important!
If the coffee is delivered a drop at a time, too weak and not
creamy enough or too cold, read the tips in the “Troubleshoot-
ing” section on page 18.
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
