4.3 Preparing coffee-based drinks with ground coffee
n
With your Espresso Automatic EA9000, you can prepare your drinks from ground coffee, if you
prefer decaffeinated coffee, if you want variety, or if you have run out of beans.
Caution:
The volume available under the lid is the maximum quantity of ground coffee permissible.
Please put the ground coffee only once into the funnel for each recipe. Do not tamp the
ground coffee inside the funnel. If you open the lid and close it again without putting in
ground coffee, the machine will perform a self-test. If an object falls into the machine,
you must unplug it and take it to the after-sales service centre.
The ground coffee funnel is locked. To unlock it, press the ground coffee button.
ANY DAMAGE CAUSED BY INTRODUCING AN EXCESSIVE QUANTITY OF GROUND COFFEE
WILL NOT BE COVERED BY THE GUARANTEE.

Coffee dispensing phases.
n
The machine tamps the ground coffee and then brews it.
n
The volume is consistent with the chosen recipe.
n
However, you can modify the coffee volume during the cycle.
n
You can stop the preparation by pressing the
“Stop”
button.
n
Remove the cup when the screen shows: Your cappuccino is ready.
n
Add a little sugar or some chocolate chips/powder to taste. You must
add the sugar only at the end of the preparation.

n
Automatic rinsing of the nozzle.
n
The nozzle is rinsed automatically after every milk-based preparation
to guarantee the hygiene of the machine.
n
You must wait for this rinsing to be complete before starting the next
preparation.
Important:
Remember to take out the small drip tray when preparing a caffe latte.

n
Milk frothing phase: The milk is then frothed according to the chosen
recipe.
n
You can increase or decrease the frothing time. (Make sure the cup does
not overflow).
n
Press the
“>>”
button to stop the frothing and move on to preparing the
coffee.
Important:
The production of steam does not stop immediately after you press the
“>>”
button
(it takes 3 to 5 seconds to stop). Press the button sufficiently early to avoid overflows.
n
The nozzle moves up and draws back to return to its cleaning container.
!
Caution:
Caution: Do not place your hand or any other obstacle in front of the nozzle that can hinder
the movement of the nozzle.
Caution: If you do not set a cup in place or if you do so incorrectly, there may be risks of
scalding.
If you press the Stop button, the entire recipe is stopped, and therefore the brewing will be
cancelled. The unused ground coffee will then be ejected.

n
Place the cup under the coffee nozzles.
n
The cup must be placed close to the cleaning container, under the steam
nozzle, at the back of the niche.
n
However, do not press the cleaning container (11) with the cup; otherwise,
it might break off.
n
You can lower or raise the coffee nozzle to suit the size of your cup. The
steam nozzle will descend just behind the coffee nozzles. Caution: the
maximum height of the cup is defined by the coffee nozzles; do not tilt the
cup to place it under the coffee nozzles.
n
To use a large cup (or mug), you might have to remove the small drip tray (6).
n
Press the
“OK”
button.

n
Milk preheating phase: The milk is first preheated and during this
time the beans are ground for preparing the coffee.
n
The nozzle moves forward and goes down into the milk
n
The nozzle tip must be submerged in the milk by 1 cm for perfect results.
If this is not the case, the cup is not suitable for the volume chosen; stop
the preparation using the
“Stop”
button and change the cup.
n
If the milk used is at an initial temperature higher than 7°C, you can
shorten the preheating time by pressing
“>>”
and move on to frothing to
avoid “spoiling” the recipe.
