Place a cup under the dispenser, adjust the height of
the dispenser nozzle with the handle: turning it raises or
lowers the nozzles, as shown in Fig. 9.1.
When you want a double coffee, you can place two cups
under the dispenser at the same time.
The rest of the paragraph explains how to dispense
one coffee. The procedure is similar for double coffee,
stretched coffee and two stretched coffees.
Press the button for the selection you want (in Fig. 7.1 it
is espresso coffee).
Press the START/STOP button within 10 seconds of
your selection and wait for the coffee to be dispensed.
Dispensing ends automatically when the quantity of

is preset in the machine but can be changed, see

You can stop dispensing at any time by pressing the
START/STOP button.
ATTENTION: if the START button is not pressed
within 10 seconds, the function is disabled. If
you wish to dispense a beverage, you will have

USEFUL TIPS FOR PREPARING AN
EXCELLENT ESPRESSO
• The dispensing time for an excellent espresso is
about 15-25 seconds. The factors that inuence the
dispensing time are the neness of the grind and the
quantity of ground coffee. If necessary, the neness of
the grind and dose of ground coffee can be changed.
(See chapter 8, First use).
• Coffee is a hygroscopic substance, which means that
itscharacteristicsarecloselylinkedtotheclimate
(humidity).So,remembertogrindthecoffeecoarser

NOTE: Fresh coffee beans have a limited life and
should not be left in the machine for long periods of
time. Older beans become soft and can clog the
grinder mechanism. Once opened, coffee beans
should be stored in a air tight container out of direct
light. For best results, always use fresh coffee beans
