The Macco ILC-200 manual does not provide explicit instructions for increasing the coffee temperature. However, you can try the following general adjustments:
1. Check the Boiler Temperature – Ensure the coffee boiler is heating properly. The machine has a 1.0-litre coffee boiler with a 1.8 kW heating element. 2. Adjust the Grinding Degree – A finer grind may improve extraction temperature. Turn the screw on top of the machine to the left for finer coffee. 3. Preheat the Cups – Use warm cups to reduce heat loss. 4. Ensure Proper Calibration – If temperature settings are adjustable in the programming menu, check and increase accordingly.
If further adjustments are needed, refer to the machine's programming options or consult a technician.
