MAKING COFFEE

Selecting the coffee taste

Turn the dial (B8) to select the required taste. Turning it clock-
wise increases the quantity of coffee beans the appliance will
grind and therefore the strength of the coffee obtained.
Please note :
• The first time you use the appliance, you will need to make
a number of coffees to identify the correct dial position
through trial and error.
• Make sure not to turn the dial too far clockwise, otherwise
the coffee may be delivered too slowly (a drop at a time),
particularly when making two cups of coffee.

Selecting the quantity of coffee in the cup

Select the required quantity of coffee (B9) by turning the dial:
Turning it clockwise increases the amount of coffee obtained.
Please note :
The first time you use the appliance, you will need to make a
number of coffees to identify the correct dial position through
trial and error.

Adjusting the coffee mill

The coffee mill is set by default to prepare coffee correctly and
should not require regulating initially.
However, if after making the first few coffees you find that the
coffee is either too weak and not creamy enough or delivery is
too slow (a drop at a time), this can be corrected by adjusting
the grinding adjustment dial (fig. 7).
Please note :
The grinding adjustment dial must only be turned when the cof-
fee mill is in operation.
These adjustments will only be evident after at least 2 cups of
coffee have been delivered. If this adjustment does not obtain
the desired result, turn the dial another click.

Tips for a hotter coffee:

For hotter coffee, you should:
• before delivering the coffee, perform a rinse cycle by
pressing the
spout, heating the internal circuits of the appliance and
thus raising the coffee temperature.
• warm the cups by rinsing them with hot water (using the
hot water function).

Making coffee using coffee beans

Important!
Do not use caramelised or candied coffee beans as they could
stick to the coffee mill and make it unusable.
1. Fill the container with coffee beans (fig. 8).
2. Place under the coffee spouts:
- 1 cup, if you want 1 coffee (fig. 9);
- 2 cups, if you want 2 coffees.
3. Lower the spouts as near as possible to the cup. This makes
a creamier coffee (fig. 10).
4. Press the button corresponding to the number of coffees
required (1 cup
5. Preparation begins and the

Please note:
• While the machine is making coffee, delivery can be inter-
rupted at any moment by pressing one of the two coffee
buttons ( or
• At the end of delivery, to increase the quantity of coffee
in the cup, just press (within 3 seconds) one of the coffee
buttons ( or
Once the coffee has been made, the appliance is ready to use
