Customising the "my coffee" quantity

The appliance is set by default to automatically
deliver 30 ml of "my coffee".
To modify this quantity, proceed as follows:
1. Place a cup under the coffee spouts (fig. 9).
2. Turn the selection knob until "MY COFFEE" is
displayed.
3. Keep the button (fig. 12) pressed until
the message "1 MY COFFEE Program quan-
tity" is displayed and coffee delivery begins.
Release the button.
4. As soon as the coffee in the cup reaches the
required level, press the button
again.
The quantity of coffee in the cup has now been
programmed.

Adjusting the coffee mill

The coffee mill is preset in the factory to make
coffee correctly and should not require adjusting
initially.
However, if after making the first few coffees you
find that the coffee is too thin and not creamy
enough or that delivery is too slow (a drop at
a time), this can be corrected by adjusting the
grinding adjustment knob (fig. 10).
Please note!
The grinding adjustment knob must only be tur-
ned when the coffee mill is in operation.
If the coffee is delivered too
slowly or not at all, turn one
click clockwise towards "7".

For fuller bodied creamier
coffee on the other hand,
turn one click anticlockwi-
se towards "1" (do not turn
more than one click at a time
otherwise the coffee could be delivered a drop
at a time).
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 knob another click.

Tips for a hotter coffee

For a hotter coffee, before delivery you are re-
commended to:
• rinse the appliance through by pressing the
button. Hot water flows out of the coffee
spouts and heats the internal circuit of the
machine so that the coffee delivered will be
hotter.
• warm the cups with hot water (using the hot
water function);
• select the "high" coffee temperature in the
menu.

Making coffee using coffee beans

Important!
Do not use caramelised or candied coffee beans
as this could damage the appliance.
(fig. 12)
1. Fill the container with coffee beans (fig. 11).
2. Place under the coffee spouts:
- 1 cup if you want one 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. 12).
4. Press the button corresponding to the num-
ber of coffees required (1 cup
