Using coffee beans
Warning: Always keep the water reservoir lid closed when you fill the coffee bean
container with coffee beans. Otherwise coffee beans can fall into the water reservoir
and block up the water inlet.
1 Open the coffee bean container lid (Fig. 13).
2 Fill the container with coffee beans. Make sure that there are enough coffee beans in the container
for the amount of coffee you want to brew (Fig. 14).
Note: Always make sure that the bean container is at least half full.
Warning: To prevent the grinder from jamming, do not use unroasted or caramelized
beans. Use coffee beans instead of espresso beans, as espresso beans may damage
the grinder.
3 Open the filter basket holder (Fig. 15).
4 Place a paper filter (type 1x4 or no. 4) or the permanent filter in the filter basket (Fig. 16).
5 Close the filter basket holder.
6 Turn the coarseness knob to select the desired type of grind (from fine to coarse). There are nine
grind settings (Fig. 17).
Tip: The coarseness knob allows you to choose between 9 different settings. The icons indicate 3
preselected optimal settings, but you can choose any setting in between. We advise you to
experiment with the different grind settings to find out which setting you prefer.
7 Press the strength button (Fig. 10). The coffee bean icons start flashing.
8 Turn the control knob to select the desired coffee strength: 1 bean for mild coffee, 2 beans for
medium-strong coffee or 3 beans for strong coffee.
9 Press the center of the control knob to confirm the strength (Fig. 6).
10 To select the number of cups, turn the control knob until the desired number of cups flashes on the
display. (Fig. 18)
Note: Please keep in mind that the coffeemaker uses all the water in the water reservoir. If you
select a number of cups that is smaller than the amount of water, the coffee becomes weaker than
you intended.
11 Press the center of the control knob to confirm the number of cups (Fig. 6).
12 Press the center of the control knob again. The appliance beeps and starts grinding the required
amount of coffee beans. When the grinding process is finished, the appliance starts brewing coffee
13 Wait until the coffeemaker has stopped beeping before you remove the jug.
Note: After brewing, coffee drips from the filter basket for several seconds.
14 The appliance keeps your coffee hot until it switches off automatically. If you do not need your
coffee to be kept hot, press the on/off button to switch off the appliance.
Using pre-ground coffee
If you want to use pre-ground coffee instead of coffee beans, follow the steps below.
1 Open the water reservoir lid and fill the water reservoir with the required amount of cold water (Fig.
7).
2 Open the filter basket holder (Fig. 15).
3 Place a paper filter (type 1x4 or no. 4) or the permanent filter in the filter basket.
4 Put pre-ground coffee in the paper filter or in the permanent filter.
5 Close the filter basket holder.
