Tips for a hotter coffee 

For hotter coffee, you should:  
•  perform a rinse cycle before delivering the coffee, using 

the “Rinsing” function in the menu;  

•  if  Energy  Saving  is  disabled,  place  the  cups  on  the  cup 

warmer until they are warm;  

•  warm the cups by rinsing them with hot water (using the 

hot water function);

•  set a higher coffee temperature in the menu.  

Making espresso coffee using coffee beans

 Important! 

Do not use caramelized, chocolate or candied coffee beans as 
they could stick to the coffee mill and make it unusable.  
1.  Fill the container with coffee beans  (fig. 12).
2.  Place under the coffee spouts: 
 

- 1 cup, if you want to make 1 coffee (fig. 9);

 

- 2 cups, if you want 2 coffees (fig. 13).

3.  Lower the spout as near as possible to the cup. This makes 

a creamier coffee  (fig. 14).

4.  Press the icon corresponding to the number of coffees re-

quired (one cup 

 or two cups  

) (fig. 10 and 

15).  

5.  The appliance starts making coffee. An image correspond-

ing to the type of preparation chosen is displayed together 
with a progress bar which fills as preparation proceeds. 

Once the coffee has been made, the appliance prepares for use 
again. 

 Please note: 

•  While the appliance is making coffee, delivery can be inter-

rupted at any moment by pressing the

 STOP

 icon or one of 

the coffee icons (

or 

).

•  At  the  end  of  delivery,  to  increase  the  quantity  of  coffee 

in the cup, just press one of the coffee icons (

or

) within 3 seconds. 

 Important! 

If the coffee is delivered a drop at a time, too fast and not creamy 
enough or too cold, read the tips in the “Troubleshooting” sec-
tion on page 25).
Various alarm messages could be displayed while using the 
machine. Their meaning is explained in the section “Displayed 
messages” (page 23).

Making espresso 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 appliance. 

•  Never use more than one level measure or it could dirty the 

inside of the machine or block the funnel. 

•  Do not put chocolate powder down the pre-ground funnel.

 Please note! 

If you use pre-ground coffee, you can only make one cup of cof-
fee at a time.  

1.  Press the  

 icon (fig. 7) repeatedly to select the pre-

ground coffee symbol  

.

2.  Put one level measure of pre-ground coffee into the funnel 

(A3)  (fig. 16).

3.  Place a cup under the coffee spouts (fig. 9).
4.  Press the 1 cup coffee icon 

.      

5.  The appliance starts making coffee. An image correspond-

ing to the type of preparation chosen is displayed together 
with a progress bar which fills as preparation proceeds.

 Please note: 

•  While  the  appliance  is  making  coffee,  delivery  can  be 

interrupted at any moment by pressing the 

STOP

 icon or 

one of the coffee icons  (

or 

).

•  To increase the quantity of coffee in the cup, just press the 

coffee icon  

 within 3 seconds.

Once the coffee has been made, the appliance prepares to make 
the next drink. 

 Please note! 

A few seconds may elapse between Energy Saving and delivery 
of the first drink.  

MAKING HOT CHOCOLATE

Preparing and attaching the hot chocolate carafe 

(D)

 Please note! 

You can make one or two cups of hot chocolate.  
1.  Lift the carafe lid (fig. 17).
2.  Make sure the steam pipe is inserted in the chocolate fun-

nel and the stirrer is inserted in both the holes in the funnel 
(fig. 18).

3.  Attach the funnel to the carafe  (fig. 19).
4.  To make one cup of hot chocolate, pour milk at refrigera-

tor temperature (about 41°F/5°C) (or fresh water) into the 
funnel up to the 

 level and add 2 scoops (0.88oz/25g) 

of hot chocolate powder or cocoa.  To make two cups or one 
mug of hot chocolate, pour milk (or water) into the fun-
