"my coffee". To modify this quantity, proceed as follows:
1. Place a cup under the coffee spouts (A14) (fig. 9);
2. Turn the selection dial (B2) (fig. 7) until "MY COFFEE" is

press the button (fig. 10) again.
The quantity of coffee in the cup has now been programmed.

10.4 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 (A2) (fig. 11).
Please note:
The grinding adjustment dial must only be turned when the
coffee mill is in operation.
