Filling The Coffee Bean Container - Miele CM 5300 Operating Instructions Manual

Filling the coffee bean container

Coffee or espresso can be made from
whole roasted coffee beans which are
freshly ground for each portion. This
requires the coffee bean container to be
filled with coffee beans.
Alternatively, you can make coffee or
espresso with ground coffee (see
"Making coffee drinks from ground
coffee").
Warning! Risk of damage to the
grinder.
Only put roasted coffee beans in the
bean container. Do not fill the bean
container with ground coffee.
Do not fill the bean container with
any type of liquid.
Warning! Sugar will damage the
coffee machine.
Do not use coffee beans that have
been treated with sugar, caramel, or
other substances and do not put
liquids containing sugar in the coffee
bean container.
Do not use green (unroasted) coffee
beans or mixtures of coffee beans
which contain green coffee beans.
Green coffee beans are very hard
and still contain residual moisture.
These can damage the coffee
machine grinder as soon as grinding
begins.

portion at a time to the ground coffee
chute and make the desired coffee
drink (see "Making coffee drinks using
ground coffee").
