4. Select the Brew Strength or ‘PRE-GROUND’ Coffee Setting
Press the STRENGTH button. The LCD screen will flash the current strength setting and the
and buttons will illuminate and flash. Use these buttons to cycle through 7 strength
settings from ‘MILD’, ‘STRONG’ to ‘INTENSE’ or for the ‘PRE-GROUND’ coffee setting. The-
se settings vary the amount of coffee.
Press the STRENGTH button to select. The LCD screen will flash the current flavour setting.
Note: If using pre-ground coffee, select the ‘PRE-GROUND’ coffee setting. This will disa-
ble the burr grinder. Add pre-ground coffee to the longlife-filter or a paper filter (Ø 85/
215 mm). We recommend 1 level tablespoon of pre-ground coffee per 150 ml cup of water.
Adjust the amount according to your individual taste. The maximum capacity for pre-ground
coffee is 16 level tablespoons. Exceeding this amount may cause overflow.
5. Select the Flavour Setting
Press the FLAVOUR button until the LCD screen flashes the current flavour setting and the
and buttons illuminate and flash. Use these buttons to cycle through 5 flavour settings
from ‘LITE’ to ‘BOLD’. These settings vary the steeping time of the coffee and water. The ‘LITE’
setting steeps for less time to produce a light-flavoured cup. The ‘BOLD’ setting steeps for
more time for a bolder, more full-flavoured coffee.
Press the FLAVOUR button to select. The LCD screen will cease to flash once selected.
We have already tested for you which setting is good for a mild and a strong coffee (see
picture below).
For an individual coffee experience, vary the different components (infusion time / amount
of powder in each cup size) to achieve the perfect results for your coffee.
Note: Steam may emit from the rear steam vent during grinding and brewing. This is normal.
The count-down timer will then begin. The time displayed is an estimate only and will depend
on the amount, strength and flavour settings you have selected.
The LCD screen will display:
a) ‘PRE-HEATING’ as the water is heated to the optimal temperature. The pre-heating time
will depend on the starting temperature of the water in the water tank.
b) ‘STEEPING’ as coffee and water are steeped together.
c) ‘BREWING’ as the coffee is dispensed into the cup.
To stop the cycle at any time, press the START | CANCEL button. You will hear a winding
noise. This is normal.
