Program brew volumes
During the programming phase of a group, all other groups, even hot water, remain disabled.
You can program up to 8 different volume doses in a Duette, and up to 12 different doses in a
Triplette.
Volumes should be programmed as if you are making a normal brew: with fresh coffee grinds
in the filter basket and a 2 second flush. Have a pre-filled and tamped portafilter ready.
1. Keep the upper button (#5) of the left hand touchpad pressed for 6 seconds (until the upper LEDs
of all touchpads start flashing) to enter the programming mode. You may now program any one of
the lower 4 buttons of any touchpad.
2. Press one of the lower 4 buttons briefly to activate the group, the LED in the selected button will
light up (the upper LEDs of all touchpads will also be lit) and press briefly again after 2 seconds
(this is the short flush). This flush-volume will temporarily be stored in the memory.
3. Quickly lock in the filter holder with coffee grinds and with the same button activate the group
again to start the brew (preferably within 4 seconds but before 25 seconds have passed).
4. When the desired volume for the selected button is reached, press the button briefly again. The
“dosing” LED will go off and the programmed volume for that button will replace the initially stored
flush-volume in the memory of the controller.
5. Within 25 seconds (as long as the indicator light is flashing): continue to program another volume
(other button on touchpad, or go to next group, repeat the 2 second flush just prior to locking in the
filter-
holder with fresh grinds and start the actual brew), or …
6. Briefly press the upper button (#5), or wait 30 seconds (until the indicator lights dim) before
touching any lever or button, to exit the programming mode. You can re-start from 1 for another
volume to be programmed.
