Preparing the grinder
You can adjust the strength of your coffee by adjusting how finely the coffee beans are ground.
Generally, the finer the coffee is ground, the stronger and creamier the coffee will be, but this also depends on the
type of coffee used.
Adjust the fineness of grinding by turning the coffee grounds fineness adjustment knob
coffee bean container. It is advised that you do this during grinding, one notch at a time.
After 3 rounds, you will notice a pronounced difference in taste. To the left, the grounds are finer. To the right, the
grounds are courser. (7)

MAKING DRINKS USING STEAM
Steam is used to froth the milk, for example when preparing a cappuccino or caffe latte, and also to heat up liquids.
As a higher temperature is required when producing steam than when making an espresso, the appliance will launch
an additional pre-heating phase.
Frothing milk
■ For best results, you are advised to use very fresh, very cold pasteurised or UHT milk, recently opened. Unpasteurised
milk does not produce the best results.
■ Check that the steam nozzle is correctly positioned.
■ Pour the milk into a milk jug which has a handle or into a cappuccino cup. Only fill it half way.
■ When the screen displays the drink selection menu, press the steam button
located above the steam button
