Relive the good old days – a ‘pot of coffee’, traditionally made from
porcelain, is perfect when you want to slow things down and catch
up with friends or family� The ‘pot of coffee’ function provides a large
portion of black coffee which is generally served at breakfast or to
accompany a piece of cake� Select between 1–5 strokes of black cof-
fee�
You can choose to use a second coffee variety, for example decaf-
feinated coffee, with the filler funnel for ground coffee�
U
Never add more than two level measuring spoons of ground
coffee�
U
Use ground coffee which is not ground too finely� Very fine
coffee can block up the system so that the coffee only comes
out in drips�
U
If you did not fill the machine with a sufficient amount of
ground coffee, ‘Not enough ground coffee’ is displayed and the
GIGA stops the operation�
U
The desired speciality coffee must be prepared within approxi-
mately one minute after filling with the ground coffee�
Otherwise the GIGA stops the operation and is once more
ready for use�
Example:Proceed as follows to prepare an espresso using ground
coffee�
T
Place an espresso cup under the dual spout�
T
Open the cover of the filler funnel for ground coffee�
T
Place one level measuring spoon of ground coffee into the filler
funnel�
T
Close the cover of the filler funnel�
T
Touch ‘Espresso’�
The preset amount of water for espresso flows into the cup�
The GIGA allows you to prepare different variants of hot water:
U
‘Hot water’
U
‘Hot water for green tea’ (Product must be added to the start
screen� To do this, tap and hold any product for 2 seconds,
then use the ‘Replace product’ function to select hot water for
green tea�)
There is a danger of scalding from hot water splashes�

Avoid direct contact with the skin�
