2 Desciption and operation
The coffee machine has two water
heaters, one for the water and one for
the coffee.
Differently from the norm, in this
espresso machine the beans can
be ground at the moment and only
when necessary. This provides the
best aroma of the coffee because it is
freshly ground.
If the container used, glass or cup,
has a smaller volume than the dosage
programmed by the machine, coffee
dispensing can be interrupted at any
time by pressing key “11” (Fig. 1A/1B),
allowing the user to decide on the
preferred dose.
The grinding level can also be set,
choosing a coarser or finer grind
depending on user preference, by
turning the dial situated on the left side
of the machine.
The steam from the dispenser can also
be used for pre-heating the cups.

Setting the grind
A number of factors help you to
understand whether the grinding level
needs to be adjusted:
• If the coffee is dispensed too quickly,
this means that the beans have been
ground too coarsely.
• If the coffee comes out in slow drips,
this means that the beans have been
ground too finely. A very important
factor for ensuring a good coffee is
the right setting for the grinding level,
which is factory-set but can also be
modified as follows:
• Open the machine.
• Carefully turn the dial located on the
left side of the machine “A” (Fig.5).
Turning the dial clockwise produces
a finer grind; turning it anticlockwise
produces a coarser grind.
Note: Turn the dial min. 3 complete
turns, clockwise or anti-clockwise,
to obtain a change in the degree of
grinding, finer or coarser.
IMPORTANT !! After setting the
new grind, it is necessary to
dispense at least 2 coffees.
