PREPARING LONG BLACK
The Long Black corresponds to “normal” cof-
fee. There are 3 pre-set Long Black settings
for automatically preparing your Long Black
– small, medium and large.
Tip:
If the pre-set Long Black settings do not suit
your cup size or strength preferences, you
can program up to 6 custom Long Black
settings. Once programmed, your custom
setting will appear after the 3 pre-set set-
tings. See: ›Programming Custom Settings
for the Long Black‹.
However, the manual extraction allows you
total control over the Long Black process:
pre-infusion duration, espresso volume and
hot water volume. During manual Long
Black mode, the LCD display will show a
moving cup icon.
