Preparing coffee - Dispensing steam

5.2

Dose adjustment

The machine allows you to adjust the

amount of coffee (dose) to be ground

according to your requirements. The

manufacturer has set a standard dose that

satisfies most needs: notch (A)

corresponding to the point of reference (B).

Turn the knob (12) inside the coffee

container counterclockwise to increase the

dose of ground coffee; turn it clockwise to

reduce the dose of ground coffee.

You must carry out the dose adjustment

before pressing the button to dispense

coffee. This system makes it possible to

achieve optimal coffee making with all

types of coffee commercially available.

5.3

Coffee dose per cup

The machine has been programmed for 3

types of coffee: American-style, medium-

strength or espresso.

To adapt the programmed amounts to the

cup size, place the cup beneath the

dispenser, press the button for making the

type of coffee desired (18, 19, or 20) and

keep it pressed. In the digital field the

message

will appear.

When the cup has been filled to the desired

level, release the button.

Important: keep the button (18,

19, or 20) pressed down for the

whole duration of the process.

5.4

Single or double shots (1 or 2

cups)

• When you press the coffee-making

button (18, 19, or 20) the machine will

prepare one cup of coffee. To make two

cups or a double shot of espresso, press

the button twice.

• You may stop dispensing at any time by briefly

pressing the same button (18, 19, or 20)

Important: the machine is

equipped with an automatic pre-

brewing system. The coffee blend is first

moistened, the flow of coffee is briefly

interrupted, and then the actual

brewing process starts; the message

p r e b r e w i n g

appears on the display.

DISPENSING STEAM/

PREPARING CAPPUCCINO

The steam may be used to froth milk for

cappuccino and to heat up beverages. The

brief sprays of hot water. The steam

wand can reach very high

temperatures: avoid touching it directly

with your hands.

spense coffee, position the steam wand

(5) over the drip tray (2), open the “hot

water/steam” knob (6) for a few seconds

to discharge residual water from the steam

wand; in short time only steam will issue

making cappuccino to 1/3 with cold milk.

Use only cold milk to ensure the best

results when making cappuccino.

Place the tip of the steam wand in

the milk to be heated and open the knob

(6); slowly raise the receptacle, with

gentle rotating movements, to obtain a

uniform layer of foam.
