18. TIPS FOR BETTER COFFEE
Height adjustable coffee-spout
Adjust the height of the coffee-spout to the size of your cups.
Grinding
Please refer to chapter 7 "Adjusting the Grinder."
Pre-warm cups
Pre-warm cups in advance with hot water (chapter 9a).
Sugar and cream
Warmth is lost by stirring the contents of the cup. Adding milk
or cream from the refrigerator considerably lowers the tempera-
ture of the coffee.

TROUBLESHOOTING:
A. NO COFFEE COMES OUT OF THE COFFEE SPOUT
Reason: Beans in bean container are not feeding properly into
the grinder because they are stuck together.
Solution:
Stir beans before grinding and while grinding turn the
grinding selector to the coarsest setting.
When using very oily beans pour the beans onto a plate and let
some of the sticky oils evaporate (this will not harm the aroma of
the coffee).
Reason: You used ground coffee in the ground coffee funnel.
The ground coffee was too fine.
Solution:
Use ground coffee which is ground somewhat coarser.
Reason: No water is transported through the system.
Solution:
Remove water container and make sure that the con-
necting valve is free of any particles (like a coffee bean etc).
Reason: The ground coffee funnel is clogged; the internal brew-
ing chamber is clogged.
Solution:
Place a large cup underneath the coffee spout. Push
the rinse button (Fig. 2E) a few times until the blocked coffee is
removed. (Never fill more than 2 scoops of coffee in the ground
coffee funnel; the funnel is not a storage area for ground coffee).
Also, use a ground coffee which is ground somewhat coarser.
