The coffee machine has two heating systems, one for heating the water and one for the coffee. It is possible to prepare boiling water (for tea) or to use the steam (for cappuccino) and to prepare espresso coffee. Unlike most other machines, in this coffee machine, the beans can be ground just when they are required, allowing you to taste the aroma of freshly ground coffee at its best. If the cup used is smaller than the quantity programmed by the machine, the coffee su

Filling the water tank The water tank should only be filled once it has been taken out of the machine. For a good espresso coffee, as well as using quality coffee, good water should also be used. It is therefore recommended that you empty the water tank frequently, preferably daily, and refill it with fresh water. Avoid leaving the water for too long time in the water tank. Boiling water or other liquids may damage the co

Switch on Switch the machine on and off using the ON/OFF button Setting the grinding Certain factors indicate whether the degree of grinding has to be adjusted: If the coffee comes out too quickly, this means that the beans have been ground too coarsely. If the coffee comes out slowly, this means that the beans have been ground too finely. One very important factor for a good coffee is to set the degree of grinding correctly. This is set by the manufacturer but can be adjus

Preheating cups and pipes Espresso coffee should always be prepared with the pipes already heated and served in a hot cup that enhances the aroma and prolongs the flavour. Thermal shock can alter the aroma of coffee. The lower the quantity of espresso coffee in the cup, the more important it is to heat the cup. Place the cup under the boiling water distributor. Half-fill the cup. Leave the water in the cup for 30 seconds and then empty it. This will preheat the
