MAKING AN ESPRESSO AND A COFFEE
Steam is used to froth the milk, for example when preparing a cappuccino or caffe latte, and also to heat up
liquids. As a higher temperature is required when producing steam than when making an espresso, the ap-
pliance will launch an additional pre-heating phase.
Frothing milk
■
For best results, you are advised to use very fresh, very cold pasteurised or UHT milk, recently opened.
Unpasteurised milk does not produce the best results.
■
Check that the steam nozzle is correctly positioned.
MAKING DRINKS USING STEAM
Preparing the grinder
You can adjust the strength of your coffee by adjusting how finely the coffee beans are ground.
Generally, the finer the coffee is ground, the stronger and creamier the coffee will be, but this also depends
on the type of coffee used.
Adjust the fineness of grinding by turning the coffee grounds fineness adjustment knob
which is located
in the coffee bean container. It is advised that you do this during grinding, one notch at a time.
After 3 rounds, you will notice a pronounced difference in taste. To the left, the grounds are finer. To the right,
the grounds are courser. (7)
Claris F 088 - Aqua Filter System cartridge (Sold separately)

Aqua Filter System cartridge with your machine (see the chapter OTHER FUNCTIONS – Installing the filter).
Every time you place a Claris-Aqua Filter into the machine you must prime the filter before using the machine
by activating the "install filter cartridge" program.
