DRIP TRAY HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
Adjust the drip tray to the appropriate cup size before selecting the beverage.
SAECO ADAPTING SYSTEM
Coffee is a natural product and its characteristics may change according to its origin, blend and roast. The
Saeco coffee machine is equipped with a self-adjusting system that allows the use of all types of coffee beans
available on the market (not including fl avored or carmelized).
• The machine automatically adjusts itself in order to optimize the extraction of the coffee, ensuring perfect
compression of the beans to obtain a creamy espresso coffee that is able to release all the aromas,
regardless of the type of coffee used.
• The optimization process is a learning process that requires the brewing of a certain number of coffees to
allow the machine to adjust the compactness of the ground coffee.
• Attention should be given to special blends, which require grinder adjustments in order to optimize the
extraction of the coffee (see page 11).
ADJUSTMENTS
11
The machine enables a slight adjustment of the coffee grinder. Coffee may be ground according to your own
tastes.
The adjustment must be performed using the small pin located
inside the coffee bean hopper.
This must be pressed down and turned by means of the
supplied grinder adjustment key only. Press and turn the pin
one notch at a time. You will need to brew 2-3 cups of coffee
before you taste a difference.
The references located inside the bean hopper indicate the
grind setting.

The machine allows you to use pre-ground and decaffeinated coffee. Pre-ground coffee must be scooped into
the bypass doser next to the coffee bean hopper. Only use coffee that is ground specifi cally for espresso
machines and never coffee beans or instant coffee.
WARNING: ONLY PUT PRE-GROUND COFFEE INTO THE BYPASS DOSER WHEN
YOU WISH TO BREW THIS TYPE OF BEVERAGE.
INSERT ONLY ONE SCOOP OF GROUND COFFEE AT A TIME. TWO CUPS OF
COFFEE CANNOT BE DISPENSED AT THE SAME TIME.
Press the appropriate icon. The
display will show the following
screen.
Pour one scoop of ground coffee into
the bypass doser using the
measuring scoop provided.
Note:
• If brewing does not start within 30 seconds from the appearance of the message (3), the machine will return
to the main menu and discard any pre-ground coffee into the dregdrawer.
• If no pre-ground coffee is poured into the bypass doser, only water will be dispensed.
• If the dose is excessive or if 2 or more scoops of coffee are inserted, the machine will not brew the beverage,
and the coffee in the bypass doser will be discarded into the dregdrawer.
The example given below shows how to brew pre-ground coffee. The customized option of using pre-ground
coffee is shown on the display with an icon next to the chosen beverage (see page 9).
