2. Set up
2.3 Adding water and beans
2.4 The Cappuccinotori (Milk Frother)
The SPRADA One Touch is supplied with an insulated Milk Cooler Thermos
which attaches directly to the machine to make delicious milky coffee and
hot milk drinks.
Connect one end of the pipe to the top of the Milk Cooler Thermos. Make
sure it is pushed down firmly into the grommet on the removable lid of the
container.
Connect the other end of the pipe to the grommet on the right-hand side
of the Height Adjustable Spout.
Unscrew the top of the Milk Cooler Thermos and make sure that the steel
pipe is firmly inserted in the grommet from the inside. This ensures that
milk is sucked up right to the bottom of the container.
Fill the Thermos with cold milk.
Screw the lid back on the Milk Cooler Thermos and make sure the pipe is
not stretched tight as this might impede the flow of milk. The milk in the
container should remain cold for some hours because of the high quality
insulation.

The Main Menu is the key to making the SPRADA One Touch your own.
Each speciality coffee is represented by an icon: Espresso, Café Crème,
Caffe Lungo, Cappuccino, Latte Macchiato.
In addition there are icons for Warm milk and Hot water.
For ultimate ease, the“My Coffee”icon can be assigned to any coffee recipe

machine, you can change the basic settings to match your own preferences.
4.2 Coee Recipes
Your SPRADA machine enables you to brew a range of speciality coffees
just how you like them.
There are two methods of changing the Factory Settings to suit your
preference:
(1) Using the icons under the” Display Bar” on the display.
(2) Using the “Settings” icon for sophisticated control of your personal
tastes (refer to Section 5.1).

must be changed every two months.
i
i
Operating the machine without a Filter:
If you wish to operate the machine without the filter, you must set the

pipe system”, will appear on the display screen.
Place a receptacle with at least 0.5l capacity with its centre under the
spout.
Press the Rotary Control Knob.
The system will now be filled. Water may come out of the spout. After
the system has heated up, the message, “Please rinse” will appear on the
display screen.
Press the Rotary Control Knob.
The system will now be filled with water.

14
5.3 Water Hardness
Using the Test Strip:
A Water Hardness Detection Strip is supplied with the machine as an
accessory. It is used to determine Water Hardness.
Dip the Test Strip in the water and shake o excess water.
After about a minute, count the number of Red Dots on the Test Strip.
The number of dots correspond to the hardness level:
Test Strip / Degree of hardness = display
1 Red Dot = (HARDNESS) LEVEL 1
2 Red Dots = (HARDNESS) LEVEL 2
3 Red Dots = (HARDNESS) LEVEL 3
4 Red Dots = (HARDNESS) LEVEL 4
Note: If no Red Dot appears, set Water Hardness to Level 1.
Setting the Water Hardness Level:
The basic factory setting for Water Hardness is LEVEL 3 but this depends
on Water Hardness in your area. The machine detects when descaling is
necessary but the correct Water Hardness level must be set before using
the machine.
Setting the Water Hardness Level:
Turn the Rotary Control Knob to select “Water Hardness”.
Press the Rotary Control Knob to conrm your selection.
Match the ashing “Level” to that measured with the Water Hardness
Testing Strip with the Rotary Control Knob.
