Espresso Co ee: Brewing and Adjustments
The machine you have bought works with co ee beans and/or pre-ground
co ee. It allows for certain adjustments that will permit you to use it to its
full potential and get a complete "Espresso experience".
Saeco Adapting System: An intelligent self-adjusting system that allows the
use of all types of co ee beans available on the market.
Co ee is a natural product and its characteristics may change according
to its origin, blend and roast. The Saeco co ee machine is equipped with a
self-adjusting system that allows the use of all types of co ee beans avail-
able on the market (non caramelised).
• The machine automatically adjusts itself in order to optimise the
extraction of the co ee, ensuring perfect compression of the tablet to
obtain a creamy espresso co ee that will release all the aromas, regard-
less of the type of co ee used.
• The optimisation process is a learning process that requires the brew-
ing of a certain number of co ee cups to allow the machine to adjust
the compactness of the ground co ee.
• Attention should be given to special blends, which require grinder
adjustments in order to optimise the extraction of co ee - (see section
"Adjusting the Co ee Grinder").
Pre-brewing Technology: Enhancing the Aroma
Thanks to the Pre-brewing Technology, ground co ee is moistened before
the actual brewing process, ensuring that the aroma can unfold even bet-
ter.
Adjustable Ceramic Co ee Grinder: a Full Aroma Preservation
The ceramic grinders always guarantee accurate grinding for every co ee
blend. In addition, this technology prevents the beans from overheating.
These two combined factors provide for a full aroma preservation, deliver-
ing the truly Italian taste in every cup.
Warning! The grinder adjustment knob, which is placed inside the cof-
fee bean hopper, must be turned with the Co ee grinder adjustment
key only when the co ee grinder is working. Do not put any material
other than co ee beans into the hopper. Do not pour ground and/or
instant co ee into the co ee bean hopper.
Warning: The co ee grinder contains moving parts that may be dangerous.
Therefore, do not insert ngers and/or other objects. In case of malfunc-
tion, turn o the appliance by pressing the ON/OFF button and remove the
plug from the socket before carrying out any type of operation inside the
co ee bean hopper. Do not pour co ee beans when the co ee grinder is
working.
The machine allows you to make slight adjustments to the co ee grinder
to adapt it to the kind of co ee used.
The adjustment must be performed by means of the pin located inside the
co ee bean hopper. This must be pressed and turned using the supplied
key only.
