4. Preparing speciality coffees
Your NIVONA machine offers a wide range of options for making speciality coffees to suit individual
tastes. However, most of the basic functions and controls are common to all the various speciality
coffees:
t
The turn / press selector knob on the left-hand side (
Left rotary knob
for short) (Fig 1/B): the Left
rotary knob is used to control the strength and amount of your coffee. Turning the Left rotary
knob alters the amount of coffee served in ml. Pressing the Left rotary knob alters the strength
of your coffee (bean symbol, Fig 1/D). The more beans shown on the display, the stronger the
coffee.
t
The turn / press selector knob on the right-hand side (
Right rotary knob
for short) (Fig 1/C). Turn-
ing the Right rotary knob allows you to select a drink or menu item on the display. Pressing the
Right rotary knob tells the machine to begin preparing the drink shown on the display or (if a
menu item is shown on the display) takes you to the sub-menu of the menu item selected.
Pressing the
left
knob will take you back to the previous menu level.
t
Adjustable spout
(Fig 1/E): the spout can be adjusted vertically to suit the height of your cups or
glasses.
The speciality coffee selected is shown as a text item on the display, e.g. “Espresso”.
£
Turning the Right rotary knob allows you to step through the list of speciality coffees and select
the one to be prepared.
Note: The current settings for your selected speciality coffee are shown at the bottom of the display.
Each speciality coffee can be prepared in one of two ways:
a) You can select the
standard settings
from the “Recipe” menu (a sub-menu of the “Setting” menu).
These are the factory settings, which can be changed to suit your individual taste by following the
steps outlined in Points 4.1 to 4.8.
b) Alternatively, you can change the
setting when making each individual preparation
, as described in
Points 4.1 to 4.8.
The standard settings then remain unchanged
.
The individual settings allow you to change
t
the aroma,
t
the amount poured into each cup or glass (in ml),
t
the amount of coffee (for drinks with milk) in ml,
t
the amount of milk or froth (for drinks with milk) in ml, and
t
the temperature
The procedures for preparing the various drink options are outlined in Points 4.1 to 4.8.
Preparing coffee for the first time
: when preparing your first coffee, the coffee grinding chamber will
still be empty. The “Fill beans” message may appear on the display after the first grinding, indicating
that no coffee has been prepared by the machine.
£
If this is the case, comply with the on-screen instructions and press the Right rotary knob a
second time.
The machine will then repeat the process.
Procedure for preparing two cups
£
In order to prepare two cups of coffee to be served in immediate succession, press the Right
rotary knob twice in succession at the start of the preparation procedure.
The “2 cups” message will now appear on the display.
Note: Two cups in immediate succession may only be prepared when selecting the “Espresso” and
“Coffee” options. All other drink options only allow the preparation of a single cup.
If two cups are to be prepared in immediate succession, your machine will automatically programme
two coffee grinding procedures to be activated one after the other. If between the two grinding proce-
dures, your machine detects insufficient water or coffee beans, or if the trays need emptying, this will
be indicated on the display and the second cup of coffee will not be prepared.
£
If this is the case, comply with the on-screen instructions and then just press the Right rotary
knob
to order the second coffee
.

Your display will show this information as follows: “40ml ooo or ooooo”.

standard settings
from the “Recipe” menu. These are your machine’s factory set-
tings. However, you can change these settings, as described below.
