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 of the water hardness and the temperature settings men-
tioned in chapter 4. Programming (starting on page 27)
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 the water quantity
Using the water amount adjustment knob (2) you can adjust the amount of water on
a continuously variable point scale (small cup lower left for less water, large cup lower
right for more water).
• The amount of water can be changed while coffee is being brewed.
3.2 Selecting coffee strength
Depending on your taste, the strength of the coffee can be set at three different levels:
= mild ca 7 gr. coffee grounds (e.g. milk coffee, cappuccino)
= 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 the pre-
programmed
• You can change this by pressing the 1 cup selection knob (4) or the 2 cups selection
knob (5) until the desired coffee strength is displayed.
Please note: A serving always takes place automatically as soon as the button is
released!
3.3 Brewing a cup of coffee
• Place your pre-warmed cup under the coffee outlet (9).
You can adjust the height of the coffee outlet (9) so that it is just right for the
size of your cup.
• Select the desired water quantity.
• Press the 1 cup selection knob (4) until the desired coffee strength is displayed. Then
release the button.
• The coffee machine will now start the brewing process.
You may interrupt the process at any time by pushing any button.
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 the
