Please note!
"My coffee" can be customised in all profiles (see
"Memorising your personal profile" on page 17).

Adjusting the coffee mill

The coffee mill is set by default to prepare coffee correctly and
should not require regulating initially.
However, if after making the first few coffees you find that
delivery is either too fast or too slow (a drop at a time), this
can be corrected by adjusting the grinding adjustment dial
(fig. 11).
Please note!
The grinding adjustment dial must only be turned when the
coffee mill is in operation.
For fuller bodied creamier coffee, turn
one click anticlockwise towards "1"
(finer ground coffee).
For faster delivery (not a drop at a time),
turn one click clockwise towards "7"
(coarser ground coffee).

These adjustments will only be evident after at least 2 cups of
coffee have been delivered.
If delivery is still too fast or too slow, repeat the correction,
turning the dial another click.

Making espresso coffee using coffee beans

Important!
Do not use caramelised or candied coffee beans as they could
stick to the coffee mill and make it unusable.
1. Fill the container with coffee beans (fig. 12).
2. Place under the coffee spouts:
- 1 cup, if you want to make 1 coffee (fig. 9);
- 2 cups, if you want 2 coffees (fig. 13).
3. Lower the spout as near as possible to the cup. This makes
a creamier coffee (fig. 14).
4. Press the icon corresponding to the number of coffees
required (one cup or two cups
and 15).
5. The appliance starts making coffee. An image
corresponding to the type of preparation chosen is
displayed together with a progress bar which fills as
preparation proceeds.
Once the coffee has been made, the appliance prepares for use
again.
