11.4 Setting the Espresso / Coffee Flavor Dial

1.Turn the espresso / coffee flavor dial (Figure 9) to set the desired taste of your espresso/coffee from regular, strong to extra strong.

2.Turning the dial clockwise increases the quantity of coffee beans the

machine will grind, and therefore makes the taste stronger. Note: When using the machine for the first time, the correct position for the dial can be found by trial and error.

3.Note: Make sure not to turn it too far clockwise, otherwise the espresso / coffee will be delivered too slowly (in drops) when preparing two cups of espresso / coffee.

11.5 Espresso / Coffee Quantity

Figure 8

11.5A The Difference Between Espresso/Coffee Quantity

 

•“Ristretto” (small/short) espresso: 1/2 oz. to 1 oz. of coffee

•“Espresso”: 1 oz. to 1.5 oz. of coffee

•Large (long/double shot/American coffee): 5 oz. to 8 oz. of coffee

Note: It is recommended to add a bit of sugar to “ristretto” or “espresso” coffee. Drink the large (American coffee) black or add sugar and milk if you prefer.

Tip: If you add sugar and milk to your cup before you brew your espresso/coffee it will be dissolved more uniformly.

Figure 9

Tip: If you set the espresso / coffee quantity dial to maximum and push the 2-cup button, the machine will prepare a 12 oz. coffee. The average coffee drinker may find this to be too mild, so adjust the volume accordingly.

11.5B Setting the Espresso / Coffee Quantity

1.Turn the coffee quantity dial (Figure 10) to set the amount of espresso/coffee desired.

2.Turning the dial clockwise makes a longer coffee. Note: When using

the machine for the first time, the correct position for the dial can be found by trial and error.

12: Preparing the Espresso / Coffee

Please follow the instructions below. You can make any quantity of espresso/coffee from 1/2 oz. to 12 oz.

Note: The process is always the same: water is forced through the coffee in a very short time period to avoid over-extraction, for perfect espresso / coffee every time.

Caution: Never switch the machine on when the water tank is completely empty. Without water, the machine cannot make espresso / coffee and the machine will become noisy.

Before preparing the espresso / coffee, make sure you have done the following:

•Followed all of the instructions listed under Section 11 of the manual (“Preparing the Machine”).

•The water tank and either the bean container or ground coffee container is full.

•If using for first time, followed all of the instructions listed under section 11 of the manual.

•The machine is on a flat, level surface away from any edge.

•The machine is plugged into a 120V / 60Hz only outlet.
