MAKING COFFEE
Selecting the coffee taste
The appliance is set by default to make coffee with a standard 
taste. You can also choose one of these tastes:
Extra-mild taste
Mild taste
Standard taste
Strong taste
Extra-strong taste
To change the taste, press the 
 button (fig. 11) repea-
tedly until the required taste is displayed.
Selecting the quantity of coffee in the cup 
The appliance is set by default to make a standard quantity of 
coffee. To select the quantity of coffee, press the 
 
button (fig. 12) until the message corresponding to the required 
quantity of coffee is displayed:
Coffee selected 
Quantity in cup (ml)
MY COFFEE 
Programmable: 
from 
≃20 to ≃180
SHORT 
≃40
STANDARD 
≃60
LONG  
≃90
EXTRA LONG COFFEE 
≃120
Customising the “my coffee” 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 coffee spouts (fig. 13).
2.  Press the 
 button (fig. 12) until “MY COFFEE” is 
displayed.   
3.  Keep the 
 button (fig. 17) pressed until the message 
“1 MY COFFEE Program quantity” is displayed and coffee 
delivery begins. Release the button.
4.  As soon as the coffee in the cup reaches the required level, 
press the 
button (fig. 17) again. 
The quantity of coffee in the cup set has now been programmed.
The programmed quantity is doubled for the 
 button.
Adjusting the coffee mill
The coffee mill is set by default to prepare coffee correctly and 
should not require regulating initially.
However, if after making the first few coffees you find that the 
coffee is either too weak and with not enough ‘crema’ or delivery 
is too slow (a drop at a time) and the coffee is very strong, this 
can be corrected by adjusting the grinding adjustment dial (fig. 
14).
 Please note! 
The grinding adjustment dial must only be turned when the 
coffee mill is in operation.
If the coffee is delivered too slowly or 
not at all, turn one click clockwise to-
wards “7”. 
For fuller bodied coffee with more 
‘crema’, turn one click anticlockwise to-
wards “1” (do not turn more than one 
click at a time otherwise the coffee could 
be delivered a drop at a time).  These adjustments will only be 
evident after at least 2 cups of coffee have been delivered. If 
this adjustment does not obtain the desired result, turn the dial 
another click. 
Tips for a hotter coffee
For hotter coffee, you should:
•  perform a rinse cycle, selecting the “Rinsing” function in 
the settings menu (page 10).
•  warm the cups by rinsing them with hot water (using the 
hot water function);
•  increase the coffee temperature in the settings menu  
(page 11).
Making coffee using coffee beans
 Important! 
Do not use caramelised or candied coffee beans as they could 
stick to the coffee mill and make it unusable. 
1.  Fill the container with coffee beans (fig. 15).
2.  Place under the coffee spouts:
 
- 1 cup, if you want to make 1 coffee (fig. 13);
 
- 2 cups if you want 2 coffees (fig. 16).
3.  Lower the spout as near as possible to the cups (fig. 16). 
This makes a creamier coffee. 
4.  Press the button corresponding to the number of coffees 
required  (1 cup  
 or 2 cups  
).  
5.  Preparation begins. The amount of coffee selected is di-
splayed together with a progress bar which gradually fills 
as preparation progresses. 
 Please note: 
•  While the machine is making coffee, delivery can be inter-
rupted at any moment by pressing any button. 
•  At the end of delivery and within 3 seconds, press and hold 
one of the coffee buttons to increase the quantity of coffee 
in the cup  (
or  
) (fig. 17).
Once the coffee has been made, the appliance is ready to make 
the next drink.
