Here are some guidelines for the most popular coffee drinks:

•Double Shot: 3 to 4 oz. of coffee. Sweeten to taste.

3c. COFFEE FACTS
• Caffeine is tasteless. A "strong" coffee or espresso is mostly
the result of the amount of coffee in relation to the amount of water. The longer a bean is roasted, the less caffeine it has.
•Arabica and Robusta are two genetically different kinds of beans. "Arabica" beans have more flavor and a little less caffeine than "Robusta" beans which are mostly used in lower priced coffees and instant coffees.
•Espresso is not a bean, it's the way the coffee is roasted and prepared. Typical US espresso roasts result in darker beans with an oily surface. European espresso roasts are medium brown with no or very little oils on the surface.

4.PLEASE, DON’T... (or you void your warranty protection):
• Never pull out the drawer during the brewing process. Only pull the drawer when the display instructs you or when the display shows COFFEE READY.
• Never fill instant coffee into the bean container or ground coffee funnel; it can damage the brewing chamber.
• Never fill sugar coated coffee beans into the bean container.
• Never fill frozen beans into the bean container. If you store beans in the freezer, let them thaw 3 to 4 hours before filling them into the bean container.
• Never fill anything other than coffee beans into the bean container (no chocolate, rice, nuts, spices, etc.)
• Never fill anything but fresh, cold clean water into the water container, except when decalcifying (chapter 29).
• Never use mineral or carbonated water. You can use tap water, bottled water, spring water, distilled water and reverse osmosis water.
