3. Making coffee
Note: The machine is preset for
immediate use. However, we
recommend that first you adjust
the most important settings to suit
your personal needs. Please follow
the instructions in chapter 4
(Programming functions) for filter,
temperature and water hardness
settings.
Note: When the machine is brand
new or has not been used for an
extended period, the first cup of
coffee does not have the full aroma
and should not be drunk.
3.1 Select water quantity
You can freely select the quantity
of water used by turning the water
quantity control knob (fig. 1/D
and 4). The little cup bottom left
represents less water, the large
cup bottom right represents more
water.
Tip: The water quantity can be ad -
justed while the machine is runn ing.
Try out various cup sizes and
quantities to find the setting that
best suits your personal preferen-
ces.
3.2 Selecting coffee strength
There are three levels of coffee
strength to which you can adjust
the brewing unit. They are shown
in the display as follows:
MILD, symbol 9, ‘1 bean’
uses about 7g of ground coffee
e.g. for cafe latte or cappuccino
NORMAL, Symbol 10, ‘2 beans’
uses about 9g of ground coffee
e.g. for American coffee
STRONG, Symbol 11, ‘3 beans’
uses about 11g of ground coffee
e.g. for espresso or very strong
coffee.
➔ As soon as the machine is
operational, the display shows the
default setting (Symbol 10,
‘2 beans’).
➔ You can change this by pressing
and holding the 1-cup or 2-cup
button (fig. 1/F, O) until the des-
ired coffee strength appears in the
display (fig. 1/B). Brewing begins
as soon as you release the button.
Caution: Pressing / releasing the
button automatically starts the
brewing operation!
