BREWING COFFEE
Coffee preparation
Before brewing a coffee, check that the On/Off button
and beverage buttons are constantly lit and that
there is enough water in the tank.
Never insert fingers or any other objects into the
capsule compartment. Single-portion capsules brew
a single coffee. DO NOT use capsules more than once.
When preparing an espresso or caffè crema, the machine
performs a prebrewing cycle. There is an audible pause in the
brewing process between the prebrewing and brewing cycles.
We recommend emptying the used capsule drawer
every day. Before inserting a capsule, make sure that
the used capsule drawer is not full.
Tip to get the best espresso from your Cafissimo Latte:
If the machine has not been used for a while and/or
the cup is cold, place the cup below the spout and press the
espresso button without inserting a capsule. This will warm
up the cup and the machine. Then empty the cup and proceed
with the instructions from step 1 as follows.
Fig. 1 Fig. 2 Fig. 3
1- Place an espresso cup, coffee cup or glass underneath the
coffee dispensing spout as indicated in paragraph “Adjusting the
dispensing height”.
2- Lift the capsule compartment opening lever (Fig. 1) .
3- Insert a capsule as shown in the figure (Fig. 2) .
4- Lower the lever to close the capsule compartment (Fig. 3) .
If the compartment does not close easily, check that
the capsule is correctly inserted and that the used
capsule drawer is not full.
5-
Press the (white) button for an espresso, the (yellow)
button for a caffè crema or the (blue) button for a filter
coffee.
6- Coffee brewing stops automatically when the set level is
reached. However, it is possible to stop the dispensing pro-
cess early by pressing the same button as the beverage being
dispensed.
7- Lift the lever to eject the used capsule into the used capsule
drawer.
8- Remove the cup or glass from the grille.
With every coffee brewed a small amount of excess
water runs into the drip tray. Therefore, empty the
drip tray regularly.
If the machine stops during the brewing process and
the service indicator light slowly flashes orange,
there is no more water in the water tank. Proceed as follows:
fill the tank with water and push the button of the beverage
that was being dispensed. As soon as the desired quantity
has been reached, stop dispensing by pressing the beverage
button again.
Adjusting the coffee quantity
Each capsule is portioned for one cup of filter coffee, caffè crema or
espresso and optimally adjusted regarding flavour.
The machine allows you to adjust the amount of coffee brewed
according to your taste and the size of your cup or glass.
Each time the espresso , caffè crema or filter coffee
buttons are pressed, the machine brews a preset amount of coffee.
