Portion Size - Miele CM5500 Operating Instructions Manual

Portion size

The flavour of the coffee produced
depends not only on the type of coffee,
but also on the amount of water used.
You can programme the amount of
water for all coffee drinks and hot water
to suit the size of your cups and the
type of coffee you are using. This does
not alter the amount of coffee used.
For coffee drinks that use milk you can
also set the amount of milk or milk froth
to be dispensed with these drinks.
Additionally, you can set the portion
sizes for hot milk and milk froth alone.
A maximum portion size can be
programmed for each type of drink. The
coffee machine halts preparation of the
coffee once this portion size has been
reached. The maximum possible
portion size is then saved by the
appliance for this type of drink.
If the water container becomes empty
during the preparation of a drink, the
programming of the portion size will
be cancelled. The portion size will not
be saved.
There are two ways of initiating the
programming of the portion size:
– by touching the drink sensor when
you are preparing a coffee, or
– by selecting
