CoffeeSwitch

Thanks to the innovative CoffeeSwitch technology, the machine allows you
to brew two types of coffee by changing the brewing pressure at the flip of a
lever. You can increase the pressure for a perfect espresso or decrease it for
a delicate classic coffee. 
Before brewing beverages as described below, the lever must be in the right
position:
- Push the lever down to the ESPRESSO position. In the ESPRESSO

position you can brew espresso, espresso lungo, cappuccino and latte
macchiato. 

- Push the lever up to the COFFEE position. In the COFFEE position you

can brew classic coffee and café au lait.

Brewing coffee

Brewing coffee with beans

Caution: Only use espresso beans. Never put ground coffee, unroasted
coffee beans or caramelized coffee beans in the bean hopper, as this may
cause damage to the machine.

To brew coffee, follow the instructions on the separate quick start guide.
