6.3 Beverage selection

1. Turn the mode selector dial (B8) to select the desired coffee
(see section "6.2 Coffee beverages").
2. If you use the 2 cup filter (C3), press the "2X" button (B3) .
6.4 Select the grinding level
The grinding level affects delivery speed and therefore the qual-
ity of the extract.
The first time you use the appliance, we recommend using the
factory setting (medium grinding) (fig. 19), then if you are not
satisfied with the result, adjust the level according to your per-
sonal taste and the type of coffee by setting a finer or coarser
grinding level, referring to the tips in section "6.8 Adjusting the
quantity of ground coffee in the filter".
Important:
• Always adjust the coffee mill while in operation.
• Adjust one grinding level at a time and make at least 5 coffees
before adjusting again.

The 1 coffee filter (C2), has the
