CIRCO brewer Optional parts 1.2.1 Milk unit The Sprso is a bean-to-cup espresso machine. As standard the Sprso does not offer milk-based beverages such as cappuccino. However, you can connect a milk unit/cooler to the Sprso. If you connect a milk unit to the Sprso you can offer five additional beverages: caffè latte, espresso macchiato, cappuccino, latte macchiato and hot milk foam. How to install the milk unit to the Sprso is described in section “10.5 Installation a milk unit” on page 88. 1.2.2 Water filter The water tank of the Sprso can be fitted with a water filter. Water filters are purification filter systems that remove minerals which make water hard and cause scale. We recommend customers to use a water filter. A water filter improves the quality of your beverage and decreases lime scale therewith optimizing the performance of the Sprso. How to fit the water filter into the Sprso is described in section “10.3 Installation of a water filter” on page 85.
Controls There are 4 main buttons for the navigation of the Sprso (see below) and 4 buttons to personalize your beverage (see section “5. Your beverage” on page 10.)

7.1.6 Water filter How to install a water filter is described in section “10.3 Installation of a water filter” on page 85. If a water filter is installed, replaced or removed this must be confirmed in the software so that the counter is updated. The Sprso can now indicate when it needs to be replaced. A water filter reduces limescale and impurities in the water, making descaling less frequent (see section “10.1 Water hardness and filter information” on page 84). Additionally, it ensures a consistent quality of the hot beverage in both taste and aroma. ► When replacing an internal water filter with an external filter, or vice versa, the first filter must first be uninstalled from the software (screen “7.1.6g”...
