DeLonghi ECAM45.760 manual Making Coffee

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.
