ENGLISH
Note: Each variety of coee beans can behave dierently during grinding and this is the reason
why setting the quantity at the beginning might require extra care.
TIPS: When you change your grinding neness, we recommend to make a grinding ush, to avoid
a mix of neness between your previous and new settings. To remove the “old” ground coee, just
press START/STOP GRIND button (19), let the ground coee come out for 2 seconds and press the
button again to stop the grinding.

b) Flavor
The longer the pre-infusion time, the better the aromas will be from your coee.

Note: Coee beans varieties as well as roasting colors require their own specic temperature
setting for the best extraction. For example, a lower temperature is preferred for Robusta coee
beans than Arabica; the same is applicable to beans with a darker roasting color or to freshly
roasted beans than those degassed over time.
a) Changing beverage quantities
You can adjust coee quantity of 1 or 2 cups.
1. Prepare the machine to deliver 1 or 2 cups of the beverage you want to make (portalter
inserted lled with 1 or 2 cup lter with ground coee).
2. Turn the recipes dial to select the beverage being programmed (10), then press and hold the
START/STOP BREW button during 3s (8). After 3 seconds, the indicator ashes white and you
can release it. Delivery of coee starts.
3. When you reach the quantity you wished, press the START/STOP BREW button (8), the new
coee volume is saved.

c) Temperature is low
To make sure your rst coee is hot enough, we recommend you to make a “ush” before making
a coee. Insert a lter in the portalter but without adding ground coee in it (25). Insert the
portalter under the coee brewing head, press START/STOP BREW button (8). Some hot water
comes out from the coee spouts. After a few seconds press again the button to stop the ow.
This operation helps to warm internal circuit and the portalter before coee extraction. You can
also warm your cup by using HOT WATER function before coee extraction.
Note: Americano is made by 1 espresso followed by hot water. You can make only 1 cup of
Americano at once, not possible to make 2 cups at once, because of only 1 hot water outlet.
However, you can make a double dose americano if you select 2 CUPS and you put only one big cup.
b) Restoring default settings
1. Press and hold the POWER button (5) + TEMPERATURE button (27). All lights ash 2 times.
Whole machine has been restored to factory settings.
