7.1.4 Available functions The control panel is used to set a number of diverse functions. User settings Clear text display Steam Descaling Coffee big Espresso Programming, standby, user Coffee Hot water settings Descaling A descaling process will be started when this button is pressed for 5 seconds (see Section 7.4.7). Programming, standby, settings Personal user settings can be seen in Section 7.2.1.
7.1.5 Steam appliances, semi-automatic, fully-automatic and pad machines Numerous different systems for “coffee and espresso machines“ are available on the market. The different methods of making coffee applied by the steam appliances and the semi-automatic, fully- automatic and pad machines are described below. Steam appliances Water is heated up in a water tank for this standard type of espresso machine.
7.1.6 Keeping coffee hot Coffee should not be kept hot on the hotplate of coffee machines or on a warmer. The reason: the heat will cause the coffee to re-draw. This means that water will evaporate, resulting in the evaporation of the fine coffee aroma. Coffee will not only lose its flavour; it will also taste bitter very quickly.
7.1.9 How can I recognise a good espresso? Blend Espresso experts swear by espresso blends which not only contain expensive Arabica beans, but also comprise a 20% to 30% proportion of Robusta beans. This lends espresso a full flavour and a strong aroma.
7.1.10 Initial operation Before you enjoy your first coffee, open up the control panel with the bar handle and fill up the water tank located behind it with a max. of 1.7 litres of water. The water filter enclosed may also be used.

7.1.12 Making coffee If the machine is in the standby mode this will firstly need to be cancelled with the “P” button. Then place one or two cups under the coffee dispenser. Set how strong you want the coffee to be with the AromaControl knob.
7.1.14 Dispensing hot water Place a cup under the nozzle. Touch the “hot water“ button and allow the required quantity of water to be dispensed. Touch the button again to stop the flow of hot water. Dispensing hot water / steam Hot water Place a cup under the nozzle...
User settings The clear text display dialogue system makes both operating and programming the machine easy, even for those who are not familiar with it. The integrated rinsing, cleaning and descaling programs are also remarkable - all it takes is the push of a button. 7.2.1 User settings If the need arises you may make adjustments to the settings as follows with the “P = program,...

Contrast The contrast setting for the clear text display can be made in 10 stages. Lighting Switching the lighting on and off. Water hardness There are 4 settings for the water hardness. Water filter Water filter present (yes – no): is only set the first time the water filter is used. “Reset” will then need to be selected every time the filter is changed.
Factory settings Re-setting all of the settings to the as-delivered state. There is a choice of no – yes. 7.2.2 Grinding setting Setting the grinder as you wish to enable the selected coffee beans to develop their full flavour to perfection is child's play.
7.2.3 AromaControl The AromaControl can be turned for a choice of flavours. Your personal taste will decide: from mild American to strong Italian coffee. With the AromaControl knob which is located at the coffee dispenser, the strength of coffee can be variably-adjusted between mild coffee and strong coffee to suit any personal taste.
AromaControl Normal flow rate Low flow rate Optimal dispensing Optimal dispensing not guaranteed Fittings 7.3.1 Flap panel (push & pull) The water tank and the coffee bean box, located behind the control panel, ensure that the coffee machine is extremely easy and convenient to use. A light touch will open up the push and pull panel of the coffee machine so that you can easily remove the individual filling units without having to go to the trouble of driving out the appliance unit.

7.3.2 Water tank The fully-automatic coffee machine has an integrated water tank which holds approximately 1.7 litres of water. The tank should be filled with fresh water at least once a day, since germs may developed in water which has been left standing. The water tank can easily be removed from the front when the flap panel has been opened up and it can then be filled through an opening which is covered with a spring lid.
7.3.4 Grinder In order for selected coffee beans to develop their full flavour to perfection, they must firstly be ground to just the right fineness. The excellent quality of the innovative ceramic grinder guarantees that you will be able to enjoy perfect coffee; it is also extremely quiet in operation. The top-quality grinder material has a very long useful life span and also enables coffee to be precisely dosed, ensuring that it is consistently ground.
7.3.6 AquaPrima water filter Water quality Coffee can only taste as good as the water with which it is made. A ready-made cup of coffee comprises at least 98% of water. It is mainly the pH value and the lime content that influence the taste of coffee.
Page 24
Operating mode The AquaPrima water filter takes effect in a number of ways: the charcoal (activated carbon) reduces the occurrence of substances that have a detrimental effect on the smell and the taste of water. The ion exchanger resin binds heavy metals, reduces the level of limestone and removes other pollutants.

7.3.7 Height and depth adjustable coffee dispenser Whether you are using a small espresso cup or a large cup for your breakfast-time coffee, any size will fit under the coffee dispenser with a sliding height and depth adjustment.

Espresso Espresso, simply called "caffè" by Italians, is the basis for all of the other Italian coffee specialities. The "black & strong" beverage fills up around two-thirds of an espresso cup, 40 ml in terms of figures. What is typical for a good espresso is the cream, which should be hazelnut brown in colour, marbled with just a touch of red on the top.
