cups of coee before it starts to give satisfactory results.
• To enjoy your coee even more and improve the perfor-
mance of your appliance, we recommend installing a
water softener lter (C4) as described in section“16. Water
softener lter”. If your model is not provided with a lter,
you can request one from De'Longhi Customer Services.

9. MAKING COFFEE
9.1 Adjusting the coee mill
The coee mill is set by default to prepare coee correctly and
should not require regulating initially.
However, if after making the rst few coees you nd that the
coee is either too weak and not creamy enough or delivery is
too slow (a drop at a time), this can be corrected by calibrating
the coee grinding using the adjustment dial (A5) (g. 6).
Please note:
The grinding adjustment dial must only be turned when the
coee mill is in operation.

13
If the coee is delivered too slowly or not
at all, turn one click clockwise towards 7.
For fuller bodied creamier coee, turn
one click anticlockwise towards 1 (do not
turn more than one click at a time other-
wise the coee could be delivered a drop
at a time).
These adjustments will only be evident after at least 2 cups of
coee have been delivered. If this adjustment does not obtain
the desired result, turn the dial another click.
9.2 Tips for a hotter coee
For hotter coee, you should:
• perform a rinse cycle by pressing /ESC (B15);
• warm the cups with hot water using the hot water function
(see section“12. Delivering hot water”);
• increase the coee temperature in the "Settings" menu
(see section“8.6 General”).
9.3 Making automatic recipes using coee
beans
Important!
Do not use green, caramelised or candied coee beans as they
could stick to the coee mill and make it unusable.
1. Fill the container (A3) (g. 7) with coee beans;
2. Place under the coee spouts (A19):
- 1 cup, if you want to make 1 coee (g. 8);
- 2 cups if you want 2 coees.
3. Lower the spouts as near as possible to the cup. This makes
a creamier coee (g. 9);
4. Then select your required coee:
