In the 1-cup selection - the grinder grinds the minimum amount of coffee (grinding time approx. 5 seconds).

Brewing one cup:

Place a cup under the coffee spouts.

Adjust the height of the coffee spouts to fit the cup (Fig. 12).

Turn the DIAL to highlight either the 1-cup Espresso or the 1-cup Coffee symbol.

Push the DIAL. The machine will grind, tamp and then brew

the coffee. During the preparation the selected cup symbol will blink. The machine uses a 2-step brewing process (pre-brew phase), pauses for a few seconds, and then starts the brewing process. When brewing is finished, the display will highlight the last cup selection.

Brewing two cups:

Place two cups under the Dual Coffee Spouts and turn the DIAL to highlight the 2-cup Espresso or Coffee symbol.

Push the DIAL. The machine will grind the maximum amount of coffee and will produce twice as much volume as in the 1-cup selection (see chapter 5 Factory Settings).

9c. BREWING TIPS

Stop Brewing: You can always stop the brewing process by pushing the DIAL during brewing. This will not change the programmed cup size.

Stronger Coffee: To increase the strength of the coffee in the 1-cup selection turn the DIAL during grinding to the right (clockwise) until two or three light segments illuminate. This will prolong the grinding time, making the coffee stronger.

Weaker Coffee: If the coffee is too strong, add a bit of hot water

with the Hot Water Feature. Place the cup with the coffee under the frother and turn the SELECTOR to the Water symbol. Hot water will be added to your coffee. Turn the SELECTOR back to the Cup symbol to stop the hot water flow.

9d. CHANGING THE CUP SIZE PERMANENTLY

All four Cup symbols can be customized to your personal cup size. The machine is ready to brew coffee.

Place a cup under the coffee spouts. Highlight the coffee symbol you want to re-program, e.g. the 1-cup Coffee symbol.

Push and hold the DIAL until the left DIAL light starts blinking. During brewing the left segment keeps blinking, indicating that the machine is in programming mode.

Once the cup is filled with the desired amount of coffee push the DIAL again. From now on the machine will produce this cup size for this symbol.

You can re-program all four coffee symbols in the same way. The C5 will keep the information, even if it is unplugged.

You can change the cup size anytime, using the same procedure.

9e. CHANGING THE CUP SIZE TEMPORARILY The machine is ready to brew coffee.

Highlight the cup symbol you want to use and push the DIAL. When the brewing starts, you can increase the volume of the coffee by turning the DIAL clockwise. In this case the programmed cup size is not changed.

9f. USING PRE-GROUND COFFEE

You can also use pre-ground coffee, bypassing the grinder. This is convenient if someone requests decaf coffee, decaf cappuccino
