The ￿ sensor will light up.

￿Select the drink you want and touch OK.

The current settings for the amount of coffee, brewing temperature and pre-brewing will be displayed for this drink.

Amount of coffee

The coffee machine can grind and brew 6-14 g of coffee per cup. The greater the quantity, the stronger the coffee or espresso.

There are various ways to tell whether the amount of coffee is set correctly.

The amount of coffee is too low if:

Espresso or coffee flows into the cup too quickly.

The crema is very pale and uneven.

The espresso or coffee lacks body.

Increase the amount of coffee so that more ground coffee is brewed.

The amount of coffee is too high if:

Espresso or coffee only trickles into the cup.

The crema is dark brown.

The espresso or coffee tastes bitter.

Decrease the amount of coffee so that less ground coffee is brewed.

￿Select "Amount of coffee" and touch OK.

￿Use the arrow sensors to change the amount.

Then touch OK.

The setting is now saved.

Brew temperature

The ideal brewing temperature will depend on

the type of coffee being used,

whether an espresso or a coffee is being made, and

the altitude of the region.

If the coffee machine is located at more than 2000 metres above sea level, the brewing temperature needs to be set lower due to the change in pressure. This is because the boiling point for water at a high altitude above sea level is lower than the boiling point for water at sea level.

The coffee machine has five brewing temperatures.

Tip: Not all types of coffee can withstand high temperatures. Certain types are too delicate - the crema on top would not be as good and the taste would be impaired.

￿Select "Brew temperature" and touch OK.

￿Select the required temperature and touch "OK".

The setting is now saved.
