Using the machine

Filling the water reservoir
There are indications for 2 to 10 cups (275 ml to 1375 ml) on the water-level window. You can use these indications to determine how much water to put in the water reservoir. The reflection changes from light to dark for each cup of water added.

1. Open the water reservoir lid and fill the water reservoir with the required amount of cold water (Fig. 7). Note: Do not fill the water reservoir beyond the 10-cup indication.
   Note: Make sure that the amount of water you pour into the water reservoir is consistent with the number of cups you want to brew. The coffee machine uses all the water in the water reservoir.

Using coffee beans

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 fresh bean duo container with coffee beans. You can fill the two containers with two different types of coffee beans. Make sure that there are enough coffee beans in the duo container for the amount of coffee you want to brew (Fig. 14). Note: Always make sure that the fresh bean duo bean container is at least half full.
   
   
   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.

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. Turn the container selector to choose between the two containers. Note: Whenever you switch between coffee bean containers or coffee beans, there will always be traces of coffee left of the previously ground type of coffee beans. Clean the grinder funnel after you switch to a new type of coffee bean to prevent this.
8. Press the strength button (Fig. 10). The coffee bean icons start flashing.
