NOTE
If your water hardness is either 4 or 5 when
tested, we strongly recommend you change to
an alternate water source.
Filtered, bottled spring or mineral water will
extend both the life of your built-in filter and
descale intervals as well as superior taste.
Please ensure to test the water hardness of the
alternative water source you've chosen and
input into the machine accordingly. Avoid
using overly filtered water, like RO water
unless some mineral content is being added
back to the final water. Never use distilled
water, or water with no or low mineral content
as this will affect both the taste and the
functioning of your machine.
GRINDING OPERATION
Insert bean hopper into position on-top of the
machine. Turn dial to lock into place.
Fill hopper with fresh beans.
TIP
We recommend quality 100% Arabica beans
with a 'Roasted On' date stamped on the bag,
not a 'Best Before' or 'Use By' date. Coffee beans
are best consumed between 5–20 days after
the 'Roasted On' date. Stale coffee may pour too
quickly from the portafilter spouts and taste
bitter and watery.
