remind you via the display when to refill the beans before the bean container is completely empty.

Fill beans into the bean container.

Place a cup underneath the Dual Coffee Spout and push the 1-cup Espresso Button (Fig. 3). The machine starts grinding and brewing. The display may still show FILL BEANS.

Push the 1-cup Espresso Button again. Discard the first two cups of coffee. READY. Your next cup of coffee will be perfect.

7. ADJUSTING THE GRINDER (Fig. 10)

Open the storage lid (Fig. 1.2). The grinder adjustment is set to a medium fineness position. We recommend to leave the grinder in this position for most applications. If you have extremely dark roasted, oily beans we recommend to set the grinder to a coarser setting (towards the thick end of the bar).

Important: You can only adjust the grind settings, while the grinder is running.

While the grinder is running turn the grind selector switch to the desired position.

For dark, oily beans turn the selector switch toward the thicker end of the bar (away from the bean symbol).

For light, dry beans turn selector switch toward bean symbol.

8. DAILY PREPARATION

We recommend filling the water container every morning with fresh, cold water. This will enhance the taste of your coffee.

Make sure the Main Power Switch is on (Fig. 1a). In this case the On/Off button on top is illuminated.

Push the On/Off button on top of the machine. HEATING. After approx. 1 to 2 minutes the display shows RINSE.

Place a cup under the coffee spouts (Fig. 8) and push the

Rinse Button (Fig. 2). Hot water pumps through the coffee spouts. The rinse cycle stops by itself and the display reads: READY. You are now ready to make coffee.

9. BEVERAGE BUTTONS (Fig. 3)

The J5 has six beverage buttons: four coffee buttons, a hot water button and a steam button. These buttons are all pre-programmed (see chapter 5). If you want to re-program them, see chapter 17.2.

10. TIPS FOR HOTTER COFFEE

• Always make sure the temperature setting for your coffee beverage is set to HIGH (chapters 5 and 17.2).

Some coffee drinkers like their coffee extremely hot. High pressure brewed coffee will lose its flavor and aroma if it is brewed too hot. In addition the “crema” on top of your coffee will disappear within seconds if the coffee is brewed too hot.

Contrary to drip coffee (which is normally brewed into a carafe sitting on a hot plate) the J5 brews coffee directly into your cup. Since the cup is at room temperature or even colder it will immediately take away warmth from your coffee beverage.

Black Coffee / Espresso:

We highly recommend to pre-warm your cup. The fastest way is to place the cup under the frother and push the Hot Water Button (Fig. 3). Fill the cup with 2 to 6 oz. of hot water. Then empty the cup. Now prepare your coffee.

In addition you can increase the temperature of the coffee by turning the grind fineness selector to a slightly finer setting (see chapter 7). The finer grind will slow down the

brewing process thus increasing the water temperature.

This might result in less crema on top of your coffee / espresso.
