Installing the Claris Cartridge
Make sure the C1000 is on and ready to
make coffee.
A. Remove the cartridge from its bag.
B. Open the water tank lid and flip the
cartridge cover upward (see fig. 7).
C. Insert the cartridge with its tapered
part down into the bottom of the water
container so that it fits snugly over the
white mesh piece (see fig. 8).
D. Close the water cartridge cover and
make sure it snaps in.
E. On top of the cartridge holder, you will
find a special rotating disk with a cut-
out indicating 2 months. You can set
both the replacement month (shown on
numbers 1 to 12) and the replacement
week (shown by the lines in between
the months) or mark the replacement
date on your calendar.
F. Fill the water container about halfway.
G. Now activate the Claris cartridge by
putting a large container underneath the
frother. Turn the selector switch to the
steam/hot water position (see fig. 2b)
and push the hot-water button
H.
Note:
Some of the water might be
slightly discolored. This is normal and
not harmful to your health or the
machine itself. Discard this water.
I. Adjust the water hardness setting of
your machine to Level 0 (see chapter
12.3 "Adjusting the Water Hardness
Setting"). In this setting the decalcifying
light will never come on.
J.
Important:
If you do not use the Claris
cartridge continuously or if you do not
replace the cartridge in time, you must
reset your machine to a higher water
hardness level. Otherwise, you risk
substantially damaging your machine.

MAKING ESPRESSO AND
"CREMA COFFEE"
You can make any quantity of coffee
from
1
/
oz. to 16 oz. The process is
2
always the same: the water is forced
through the coffee in a very short period
of time avoiding any over-extraction.
With the right pressure, the result will
always be a foamy layer on top of your
coffee called "crema." That is the mark
of a "pressure brewed coffee." Most
people prefer pressure brewed coffee to
drip coffee.
From small to large, here is the coffee
terminology:
•
1
/
oz. to 1 oz. of coffee is called a
2
"Ristretto" (small espresso)
• 1 oz. to 1.5 oz. of coffee is called an
"Espresso."
• Approximately 3 oz. of coffee is called
a "Large or Double Shot of Espresso."
• 5 oz. to 8 oz. of coffee is called a
"Crema Coffee."
• Definitely add a bit of sugar to a ristret-
to or espresso. Drink the crema coffee
black or add sugar and milk as you like.
Tip:
If you add the sugar and milk to
your cup before you brew your coffee it
will be more uniformly dissolved and you
won't need to stir later (stirring can cool
down the coffee and might destroy the
crema layer).
Note:
When you set the coffee volume
.
dial to maximum (large cup) and push
the 2-cup button
produce a total of 16 oz. of coffee. The
average coffee drinker will find that this
coffee is too mild. Adjust the volume dial
accordingly.
8a. A word about coffee temperature:
In order to create the "crema" on top of
your coffee, the temperature cannot be
set as high as with a drip coffee maker.
At that temperature no lasting "crema"
can be created. Don't let your coffee sit
around too long.
8b. How to get hotter coffee:
• Preheat your cups with hot water.
• Run a Hot-Water-Rinse-Cycle just
before you make a cup of coffee.
• If you make a larger cup of coffee,
finish brewing the coffee, then immerse
the frother into the cup and steam up the
coffee for 20 to 30 seconds. Just make
sure you don't burn or boil the coffee. It
will ruin the taste.
