The closer the coffee spouts are to your cups, the less heat is lost in the air. The crema is more durable if the coffee flows down the inside of the cup, rather than hitting the bottom of the cup.
Old beans
Beans will lose aroma when sitting too long in the bean container. We recommend to fill just enough coffee beans into the bean container for up to three or four days.
32. TROUBLE SHOOTING
A. NO COFFEE COMES OUT OF THE COFFEE SPOUT Reason: Beans in bean container are not properly feeding into
the grinder because they are stuck together.
Solution: Stir beans before grinding. While grinding turn the grinding selector to the coarsest setting (chapter 7).
Reason: You used ground coffee in the Ground Coffee Funnel. The ground coffee was too fine.
Solution: Use ground coffee that is ground somewhat coarser. Reason: No water is transported through the system.
Solution: Remove water container and make sure that the connecting valve is free of any particles (like a coffee bean etc).
Reason: The ground coffee funnel or the internal brewing chamber is clogged.
Solution: Place a cup underneath the Dual Coffee Spout and run an extra rinse cycle. COFFEE READY
•Push and hold the Rotary Dial until display shows FILTER.
•Turn the dial until the display shows: MAINTENANCE
•Push the dial and select RINSE UNIT.
•Push the Rotary Dial again. Place a cup underneath the Dual
Coffee Spouts and push the Rinse Button.
COFFEE READY
B. THE DISPLAY READS FILL WATER BUT THERE IS ENOUGH WATER IN THE WATER TANK.
Reason: The low water floatation device (Fig. 10 "x") is missing.
Solution: Within the water tank is a small compartment. Inside is a small black floatation device. On top is a small clear plastic cover. This small plastic cover is missing and the floatation device is outside of the small compartment. Check if you can locate both pieces and reassemble. If you cannot find them, call
C. INSUFFICIENT FROTHED MILK PRODUCTION Make sure
•the dial of the Auto Cappuccino System points the frothing position (Fig. 5f).
•the venting tip (Fig. 5a) is clean (check if the flexible lip is free of any old milk residue).
•the Auto Cappuccino System is assembled tightly (chapter 12)
•all parts of the Auto Cappuccino System are clean and not
clogged with old milk residue
The milk you are using is "too heavy". "Half and Half" or liquid coffee creamers like "coffeemate" are too heavy to be siphoned fast enough through the system.
Skim milk will always produce more froth than whole milk.
D. GRINDER MAKES AN EXTREMELY LOUD NOISE; NO BEANS ARE GROUND
Reason: A stone is blocking the burr grinder.
•Turn the machine off. Unplug the machine.
•Open the Cover Lid and remove the Bean Container Safety Lid (Fig. 4).
