cleaning such as scourers, metal brushes, needles
and detergents but use a damp cloth or sponge.
9.1. Daily

Clean the outside structure and the ground coffee
container.
●
Clean the dosing area under the coffee contai-
ner.
9.2. Periodically
●
Empty the coffee bean and the ground coffee
containers and clean them in order to remove any
coffe greasy residue.
The scrap materials used for processing or
maintenance should be placed in containers
and sent to special collection centres, unless
they are biodegradable or polluting.
●
Prepare a coffee; the delivery time for the best
grinding is between 25 and 30 seconds.

Check coffee quality and taste considering that
a coarse grinding produces light coffees without
cream, whereas a too fine grinding produces
strong, dark coffees without cream
