Extra-mild taste
Mild taste
Standard taste
Strong taste
Extra-strong taste
To change the taste, press the
dial (g. 7) repeatedly
until the required taste is displayed.
Selecting the quantity of coee in the cup
The appliance is set by default to make a standard quantity
of coee. To select the quantity of coee, turn the selection
dial (g. 8) until the message corresponding to the required
quantity of coee is displayed:
Coee selected Quantity in cup (ml)
MY COFFEE Programmable:
from ≃20 to ≃180
SHORT
≃40
STANDARD
≃60
12
LONG
≃90
EXTRALONGCOFFEE
≃120
Customising the “my coee” quantity
The appliance is set by default to automatically deliver 30 ml of
“MY COFFEE”. To modify this quantity, proceed as follows:
1. Place a cup under the coee spouts (g. 12).
2. Turn the selection dial (g. 8) until “MY COFFEE” is
displayed.
3.Keepthe
button (g. 9) pressed until the message
“1 MY COFFEE Program quantity” is displayed and coee
delivery begins. Release the button.
4. As soon as the coee in the cup reaches the required level,
press the
button (g. 9) again.
The quantity of coee in the cup set has now been
programmed.
Adjusting the coee mill
The coee mill is set by default to prepare coee correctly and
should not require regulating initially.
However, if after making the rst few coees you nd that the
coee is either too weak and not creamy enough or delivery is
too slow (a drop at a time), this can be corrected by adjusting
the grinding adjustment dial (g. 10).
Please note:
The grinding adjustment dial must only be turned when the
coee mill is in operation.
If the coee is delivered too slowly or
not at all, turn one click clockwise
towards “7”. For fuller bodied creamier
coee, turn one click anticlockwise
towards “1” (do not turn more than
one click at a time otherwise the
coee could be delivered a drop at a
time). These adjustments will only be evident after at least 2
cups of coee have been delivered. If this adjustment does not
obtain the desired result, turn the dial another click.
Tips for a hotter coee
For hotter coee, you should:
•beforedeliveringthecoee,performarinsecycleby
pressing the
button. Hot water is delivered from the
spout, heating the internal circuits of the appliance and
thus raising the coee temperature;
•warmthecupsbyrinsingthemwithhotwater(usingthe
hot water function);
•selectthe“high”coeetemperatureinthemenu.
Making coee using coee beans
Important!
Do not use caramelised or candied coee beans as they could
stick to the coee mill and make it unusable.
1. Fill the container with coee beans (g. 11).
2. Place under the coee spouts:
- 1 cup, if you want to make 1 coee (g. 12);
- 2 cups if you want 2 coees.
3. Lower the spout as near as possible to the cups. This
makes a creamier coee (g. 12).
4. Press the button corresponding to the number of coees
required (1 cup
or 2 cups ) (gs. 9 and 13).
5. Preparation begins. The amount of coee selected is
displayed together with a progress bar which gradually
lls as preparation progresses.
Please note:
•Whilethemachineismakingcoee,deliverycanbe
interrupted at any moment by pressing any button.
•Attheendofdelivery,toincreasethequantityofcoee
in the cup, just press (within 3 seconds) one of the coee

of the machine and dirty it. This
could damage the appliance.
•Neverusemorethanonelevelmeasureoritcoulddirty
