COFFEE BREWING - HOT WATER DISPENSING

The manufacturer con

fi

 gures each appliance on an 

intermediate grind setting: if the grind is too 

fi

 ne, rotate 

the knob to a higher setting; if the grind is too coarse, 
turn the knob to a lower setting.
The variation in grind will only be seen when three/
four coffees have been brewed.

Note: If the value has been changed 
excessively - by turning the knob to very 

low settings - the "no coffee" alarm might be 
activated. Press the coffee brew button again to 
reactivate the machine and to complete the coffee 
grinding cycle.

Use coffee bean blends for espresso machines. Try 
not to use very high or very low grind settings (e.g. 
1 - 16). Use different coffee blends for different set-
tings. Keep coffee in a fresh place in a sealed, airtight 
container.

The grind must only be regulated if coffee is not 
brewed properly:
Too fast brewing = too coarse grind > Rotate the knob 
to a lower setting;
Drip and/or absent brewing = too 

fi

 ne grind > Rotate 

the knob to a higher setting.

BREWING

Note: If the machine does not brew coffee, 
make sure that the water tank contains 

enough water by verifying the water level on the 
left side of the machine.

Before brewing coffee, make sure that 
the green temperature ready light (19) is 

permanently on and that the water tank and the 
coffee hopper are full.

• 

(Fig. 27 - 28)

 - Place 1 or 2 cups beneath the 

dispensing spout (11). You may adjust the height 
of the dispensing spout to your cups.

•  Adjust the desired quantity of coffee to be brewed 

by means of the knob (17): by turning the knob 
clockwise the quantity of coffee to be brewed is 
increased; by turning the knob counterclockwise 
the quantity of coffee to be brewed is decreased.

•  Press the button (18) to brew coffee. The brewing 

cycle starts: press the button (18) once to brew 1 
coffee. Press it twice to brew 2 coffees.

In this operation mode, the machine grinds 
and measures automatically the right quan-

tity of coffee. Two coffees require two grinding and 
brewing cycles that are automatically managed 
by the machine.

•  After the prebrewing cycle, coffee begins to come out 

of the dispensing spout (11).

•  On reaching the dose programmed with the knob 

(17), the machine will automatically stop brewing. It is 
nevertheless possible to interrupt coffee brewing by 
pressing the button (18).
