Preparation; Selecting Coffee Strength; Selecting The Water Quantity; Brewing A Cup Of Coffee - Rotel Aromatica DIGITAL 271 Mode D'emploi

3. Preparation

Please note:
☛
The coffee machine was set at the factory so that you could make your first cup
of coffee immediately. However, we recommend that you program the most
important basic settings according to your needs. Therefore, you should first
carry out the steps for language, filter and water hardness settings mentioned
in chapter 4. Programming (starting on page 28).
☛
When using the coffee machine for the first time, or if it has not been used for a
long time, the first cup of coffee will not have a full aroma and should not be drunk.

3.1 Selecting coffee strength

Depending on your taste, the strength of the coffee can be set at three different levels:
= ca. 7 gr. coffee grounds (e.g. cafe au lait, cappuccino)
MILD
NORMAL = ca. 9 gr. coffee grounds (e.g. coffee with cream)
STRONG = ca. 11 gr. coffee grounds (e.g. espresso, strong coffee)
• As soon as the coffee machine is ready for operation, the display will show NORMAL
coffee strength.
• You can change this by pressing the selection knob (4) until the desired coffee
strength is displayed.

3.2 Selecting the water quantity

• The selected water quantity is shown on the upper line of the display.
• Using the water amount adjustment knob (3) you can adjust the amount of water
in 10 ml steps from 30 ml to 240 ml.
30 ml – 70 ml
80 ml – 130 ml
140 ml – 240 ml

3.3 Brewing a cup of coffee

• Place your pre-warmed cup under the coffee outlet (8).
☛
You can adjust the height of the coffee outlet (8) so that it is just right for the size
of your cup.
• Select the desired coffee strength and water quantity.
• Press the 1 cup selection knob (5).
• The coffee machine will now start the brewing process.
☛
You may interrupt the process at any time by pushing either the 1 cup (5) or 2
cup selection knob (6).
Please note: If you are preparing a cup of coffee for the first time, the milling chamber
will still be empty. It is possible that FILL BEANS for no coffee beans is displayed after
the first milling process and that the coffee machine will not make any coffee. In this
case, just push the selection knob (5) once more to repeat the brewing process.
