How To Make Espresso Coffee - DeLonghi BCO120T Instructions Manual

If you want to change the delayed start time after it
has been set, press the AUTO button for about 2
seconds and then set a new time as described
starting from point 2.
Keep in mind that at the time set, the appliance will
start to make drip coffee only. The espresso maker
does not come on.
LENGTH OF WARMING TIME (AUTOMATIC SHUTOFF
TIME)
The appliance is factory-set to keep the coffee warm for
two hours after startup.
However, this setting can be changed as follows:
1. Press the DRIP COFFEE ON/OFF button (Fig.
4) for about 2 seconds until 0:00 flashes on the
display.
2. Modify the time by repeatedly pressing the HOUR
button (and also the MIN button if required).
3. After setting the time, wait 5 seconds. When the
display stops flashing, the time will be stored.
Note: If 0:00 is set, the appliance keeps the coffee
hot for an unlimited period.
1-5 CUPS SETTING
To improve extraction and the aroma when making less
than 6 cups, press the 1-5 cups selector button (Fig. 5).
The 1-5 cups LED will light up.
MAKING DRIP COFFEE
• Lift the cover and remove the water tank (Fig. 6).
• Fill the tank with cold clean water up to the level
corresponding to the number of cups of coffee you
want to make (Fig. 7).
You can also leave the tank in the appliance and fill
using the drip coffee carafe marked with the levels
(Fig. 8).
• Replace the tank in the appliance and press it down
gently.
• Open the filter-holder by turning it toward the right
(Fig. 9) and pulling it out by the handle.
• Position the filter in the filter-holder (Fig. 10).
• Place the ground coffee in the filter using the
measuring spoon provided and level evenly (Fig. 11).
As a general rule, use one level spoonful of ground
coffee (about 7 grams) for each cup (for example,
10 spoonfuls for 10 cups).
However, the quantity of ground coffee used may
be varied according to personal taste.
Use good quality medium grind coffee for drip
coffee machines.
• Close the filter-holder and place the carafe on the
warming plate with the lid on.
• Choose the desired flavor as indicated in the
section "HOW TO CHOOSE THE FLAVOR OF DRIP
COFFEE".
• Press the DRIP COFFEE ON/OFF button (Fig.
12). The indicator light on the button comes on and
the appliance starts to make the coffee.
(To make coffee at the programmed time, press the
AUTO button (Fig. 3); the AUTO light on the button
comes on.)
• The coffee will begin to emerge after a few
seconds.
It is completely normal for the appliance to release
a little steam while the coffee is brewing.
To keep the coffee hot after brewing, set the carafe
on the warming plate and leave the appliance on
(drip coffee indicator light on). The coffee in the
carafe is kept at the right temperature.
• To turn the appliance off, press the
COFFEE ON/OFF button.
HOW TO CHOOSE THE FLAVOR OF DRIP
COFFEE
The coffee machine has a "flavor savor" channel inside
the drip coffee filter-holder that increases the coffee
infusion time, improving extraction. The resulting coffee
has a full and intense flavor.
You can set the machine to make coffee with a strong
(STRONG position) or light (LIGHT position) aftertaste
by turning the AccuFlavor System knob (Fig. 13).
The AccuFlavor System only changes the strength of the
aftertaste of the coffee, while the actual flavor remains
unaltered.

HOW TO MAKE ESPRESSO COFFEE

1. Unscrew the boiler cap by turning it counter-
clockwise.
2. Fill the small carafe for espresso with the quantity of
water (Fig. 14) corresponding to the number of
cups you want to make, using the marks on the
WATER LEVEL side of the carafe (see the table at the
end of the instructions).
3. Pour the water into the boiler (Fig. 15).
4. Close the boiler cap by turning it firmly clockwise.
5. Place the filter for espresso coffee into the filter-
holder (Fig. 16).
6. Fill the filter with ground coffee according to the
quantity shown in the table at the end of the
instructions and distribute evenly without pressing
down (Fig. 17).
It is important to use top quality medium grind
coffee to avoid blocking the filter while the coffee is
being dispensed.
