It’s best to store ground coffee or beans in an airtight container in the freezer of
your refrigerator. Ground coffee readily picks up food flavors.

Turn the steam knob (7) on the side counter-clockwise to open the steam/hot water
valve, and turn the hot water/brew switch (3) to “On”. You will hear the sound of

reach its full operating temperature (during this time, the indicator light will go on and
off frequently).
