amount of water can be seen on the water level
indicator on the tank .
• Place the filter holder in its position on the top
right of the appliance housing under the spout 
and start the appliance by briefly pressing the
BREW button. The BREW button will now flash
slowly. After the heater warms up briefly, water
flows from the spout into the filter holder.
• An acoustic signal indicates when the water has
flowed through completely. Empty the jug and
switch off the hot plate by pressing and holding
the BREW button for longer than 1 second. After
a short cooling time you can then use the appliance
to make coffee for the first time.

3. Making coffee
3.1 Preparation
• Remove the bean container lid and fill the bean con-
tainer with whole roasted beans . Then replace
the lid. The full bean container can make eight cups
of coffee two to three times.
• Fill the water tank. The removable tank can be filled
directly at the tap. Alternatively use the glass jug to
pour the water into the tank in the appliance. The
required amount of water can be seen on the water
level indicator on the tank.
• Remove the filter holder horizontally from its
holder  and insert the coffee filter . For good
flavour and the best fit in the filter holder, we
recommend using Melitta
• Place the filter holder with coffee filter on the left
of the housing recess under the grinder .
3.2 Grinding
• Activate the grinder with a long press on the
GRIND button. The LED indicator for the GRIND
button will start flashing rapidly.
• Set the required amount of coffee by briefly
pressing the cup selection button . Each time you
press the button, the corresponding LED display
changes to the next number of cups. Setting the
grinding time indirectly sets the grinder for the
required quantity of coffee.
• Ensure that the number of cups you select matches
the amount of water in the water tank. Please note
that all the water from the water tank is used to
make the coffee. If the number of cups and the
amount of water do not match, this can lead to the
coffee not being the way you want it.
• The strength can also be varied individually for each
number of cups. Briefly press the coffee strength
button  to change the corresponding LED display.
The display shows 1 for mild, 2 for ideal and 3 for
strong. The grind time is changed accordingly.
• Grinding is not always the same for different coffees
with different roasts. If the grind quantity does
not meet your individual requirements in any of
the settings, a further fine adjustment of the grind
quantity is possible (see 3.5 fine adjustment of grind
quantity).
• With the slider on the upper grinder housing you
can set the desired grind degree for the coffee. The
slider has three settings for fine, medium and coarse .
Intermediate positions can also be selected.
• After setting this, start the grinding process by
briefly pressing the GRIND button. The GRIND
button starts flashing slowly. If the bean container is
not inserted correctly, a short warning tone sounds

three times.
• The grinder grinds the set quantity of coffee directly
into the filter holder and switches off automatically
when it has ground the required quantity.
• Remove the filter holder from the appliance and
level the ground coffee in the filter by shaking the
filter holder slightly.
• Insert the filter holder back onto the upper appli-
ance holder  Make sure that it clicks audibly into
place.
Note:
• To ensure proper functioning of the grinder, do not
use caramelized coffee beans.
• Do not pour ground coffee into the bean container.
• The appliance has an overload safety function
of the grinder, which protects the grinder against
damage by foreign objects in the coffee beans. If you
hear a loud chattering, unknown noise during the
grinding process, switch the appliance off and
clean the grinder as described in point 6.2.
3.3 Brewing
• After the grinder switches off, the brewing mode is
activated. The BREW LED starts flashing quickly.
• For perfect coffee we recommend pre-brewing the
coffee. Briefly press the PRE-BREW button  before
starting brewing to activate this setting for the next
coffee preparation. The PRE-BREW button lights
up continuously and at the beginning of brewing the
water supply is briefly stopped after the coffee has
been moistened. Pressing the button again deacti-
vates pre-brewing. The last setting is saved for the
next coffee preparation.
• Start making coffee by briefly pressing the BREW
button. The BREW button starts flashing slowly. If
the appliance beeps three times during this process,
there is no water in the water tank.
• During brewing, the water is heated and flows through
the rotating spout onto the ground coffee . The ap-
pliance stores different brewing profiles depending
on the number of cups selected. The ground coffee
is evenly moistened by different rotations for each
brewing profile.
• It is also possible to manually control the direction
and time of rotation during brewing (see 3.6 Manual
extraction control)
• The end of the brewing process is indicated acousti-
cally by a short signal tone. The BREW button now
lights up continuously, indicating the warm-keeping
phase.
• The hot plate keeps the coffee hot and then
switches off automatically after 40 minutes to avoid
unnecessary power consumption. Of course you
can also switch off the device manually at any time
by pressing the BREW button for longer than 1 sec.
• The drip stop prevents coffee dripping when you
remove the jug from the machine.
• By removing the filter holder the coffee filter can be
disposed of easily.
3.4 Using already ground coffee
• If you want to use already ground coffee, prepare
the filter holder as described under 3.1.
• Put 6 g per cup into the coffee filter and push it
back onto the upper holder.
• Activate the appliance with a long press on the
BREW button.
