ADVICE ABOUT COFFEE
The aroma from coffee depends on the quality of the grind. Generally,
the quicker the coffee-making technique, the finer the ground coffee
should be. The grind used for an espresso is therefore finer than that
for a filter coffee.
A very fine ground coffee intended for espresso will give you a bitter-
tasting coffee when used for a filter coffee. Using a coarser ground for
an espresso coffee will give you a weak-tasting coffee. Once you have
chosen the appropriate coffee ground fineness for your coffee-maker
you can just add more ground coffee to get a stronger taste without any
additional bitterness.

BEFORE FIRST USE

Clean the ground coffee holder, its lid and the bean hopper lid with
warm, soapy water. Clean the inside of the bean hopper with a damp
cloth. Never place the body of the appliance in water or under running
water. Carefully dry the assembly of parts and fit them to the appliance
again. You can wash the ground coffee holder, its lid and the bean
hopper in the upper basket of the dishwasher.
