spout up and down a few times to clear the internal flow. You are now ready to make coffee.
7. ADDING COFFEE BEANS
•Open the bean container lid (Fig. 1, 9), fill with beans (Fig. 5). The container holds approx. 220 grams (8 oz.). Close the lid.
Frozen Beans: Thaw 3 to 4 hours before adding to bean container. This prevents moisture from seeping into the grinder.
Sugar Coated Beans: DO NOT fill sugar coated beans into the bean container. The sugars will stick to the burrs and clog the flow of ground coffee. Have your local coffee store grind
the sugar coated beans and use as described in chapter 11. Using Oily Beans: Beans with an oily surface tend to stick together. This may prevent a continuous flow of beans from the bean container into the burrs. As a result the grinder does not grind enough coffee and you might get weak or no coffee at all. Stir the beans in the bean container just before grinding. Alternatively, you can also pour the beans in an open bowl and let them sit for about 5 hours. The oils will evaporate (this will not change the taste of your coffee). Then fill the beans into the bean grinder. Now beans will feed into the burrs more easily.
8. ADJUSTING THE GRINDER
You can adjust the grinder to the roast of your coffee. We recommend the following:
Light roast: use a finer adjustment.
Dark roast: use a coarser adjustment.
•Open the lid of the bean container.
•While the grinder is running turn the grind selector switch to the desired position (Fig. 6).
–The smaller the dots, the finer the grind.
–The bigger the dots, the coarser the grind.
Important: The grinding grade can only be adjusted while the grinder is actually grinding.
9. DAILY PREPARATION
ON/OFF Button – HEATING – RINSE – READY
We recommend filling the water container every morning with fresh, cold water. This will enhance the taste of your coffee.
•Push and hold On/Off button until the display turns on. If your machine is cold the display shows HEATING. After approx. 2 minutes the display shows RINSE.
•Press the Rinse Button (Fig. 3g). Hot water will warm up all internal parts and pump through the coffee spouts. The water will be caught in the drawer underneath. The rinse cycle stops by itself and the display reads: READY. You are now ready to make coffee.
10. GRINDING AND BREWING
The Impressa F7 uses a
•Adjust the height of the coffee spout to your cup size (Fig. 12) and place one or two cups underneath the coffee spouts.
10a. SELECTING CUP SIZE AND STRENGTH Cup Size 1 OZ. to 8 OZ; max: 16 oz.
•Push the Dial. It will illuminate and the display will show the cup size in oz, e.g. 4 OZ.
•Turn the dial to select any cup size between 1 OZ. and 8 OZ. Your machine will always remember the last setting. After a few seconds the display will change back to READY.
