Tips for use
Coffee strength
• Each capsule is portioned for one cup of filter coffee,
caffè crema or espresso.
• How to adjust the strength of the coffee to suit your
personal taste is described in the section “Adjusting the
strength of the coffee”.
Interrupting/stopping the brewing process
• You can take a pause at any time during preparation
by pressing the (now flashing) button again.
This may be nece

use less water for brewing without changing the water
quantity for subsequent occasions.
• If the coffee is too strong, press the button again to
allow some more water to flow through. Press the
button once again to stop the procedure.
Full aroma
• Insert a capsule only when you require it. The capsule
is pierced as

• Espresso tastes best when served in a preheated cup.
Also read the section ”Hot water to preheat cups”.
Residues of coffee grounds and capsule bases
There are two features particular to this system:
• A small residue of coffee grounds always remains at
the bottom of the cup.
• The bases of the capsules vary in fabrication.

non-use”.
If the machine has not been used for an even longer
period, the water in the system will evaporate. In this case,
