Adjusting the height of the coffee spouts

The cups should always be pre-warmed to allow the flavour
to develop and be retained. The aroma of espresso does not
react well to cold.
The smaller the volume of coffee/espresso, the more
important it is to pre-warm the cup. Use a plate warming
drawer if you have one. If not you can warm them as follows:
^ Place the cup under the hot water spout.
^ Touch the lower sensor on the right until "Hot water" is
visible on the left of the display.
^ Touch the sensor beside "Hot water".
^ Allow a little hot water to run into the cup to warm it and
touch "+ C" to switch off the water.
^ Leave the cup to warm for a while and then pour the water
away.
You can adjust the height of the coffee spouts to suit the
height of the cup so that the espresso or coffee will not cool
down as quickly as it would if the spouts were further away
from the cup. The crema will also be a better quality if the
coffee does not have so far to go!
^ Gently pull the coffee spouts downwards (see illustration).
