Mild taste
Standard taste
Strong taste
Extra-strong taste
To change the taste, press the icon (g. 8) repeatedly until
the required taste is displayed.
Selecting the quantity of coee in the cup
The appliance is set by default to make a standard quantity of
coee. To select the quantity of coee, press the icon
(g. 9) until the message corresponding to the required quanti-
ty of coee is displayed:
Coee selected Quantity in cup (ml)
MY COFFEE Programmable:
from ≃20 to ≃180
SHORT ≃40
STANDARD ≃60
LONG ≃90
EXTRA LONG COFFEE ≃120
Customising the “my coee”quantity

13
4. As soon as the coee in the cup reaches the required level,
press the icon again.
The quantity of coee in the cup has now been programmed.
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 adjusting
the grinding adjustment dial (g. 11).
Please note!
The grinding adjustment dial must only be turned when the
coee mill is in operation.
If the coee is delivered too slowly or
not at all, turn one click clockwise to-
wards“7”.
For fuller bodied creamier coee, turn
one click anticlockwise towards “1” (do
not turn more than one click at a time
otherwise 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.
Tips for a hotter coee
For hotter coee, you should:
• perform a rinse cycle by selecting the“Rinsing”function in
the settings menu (page 10);
• warm the cups with hot water (using the hot water
function);
• increase the coee temperature in the settings menu
(page 11).
Making coee using coee beans
Important!
Do not use caramelised or candied coee beans as they could
stick to the coee mill and make it unusable.
1. Fill the container with coee beans (g. 12).
2. Place under the coee spouts:
- 1 cup, if you want to make 1 coee (g. 10);
- 2 cups, if you want 2 coees (g. 13).
3. Lower the spouts as near as possible to the cup. This makes
a creamier coee (g. 14).
4. Press the icon corresponding to the number of coees re-
quired (one cup or two cups ).
5. Preparation begins. The amount of coee selected is dis-
played together with a progress bar which gradually lls as
preparation progresses.
Please note:
• While the machine is making coee, delivery can be inter-
rupted at any moment by pressing any icon.
• At the end of delivery, to increase the quantity of coee
in the cup, just press (within 3 seconds) one of the coee
icons (B6 or B7).
Once the coee has been made, the appliance is ready to make
the next drink.
Important!
• Various alarm messages could be displayed while using
the machine (FILL TANK, EMPTY GROUNDS CONTAINER,
etc.). Their meaning is explained in the section “Displayed
messages”(page 20).
• For hotter coee, see the section “Tips for a hotter coee”
(page 13).
• If the coee is delivered a drop at a time, too weak and not
creamy enough or too cold, read the tips in the “Trouble-
shooting”section (page 21).
Making coee using pre-ground coee
Important!
• Never place coee beans in the pre-ground coee funnel
as this could damage the appliance.
• Never add pre-ground coee when the machine is o or it
could spread through the inside of the machine and dirty
it.This could damage the appliance.
