^Tap the arrow buttons until the desired beverage is highlighted. Tap the OK button.

The current settings for the ground amount, brewing temperature and pre-brewing for this beverage are displayed.

Ground amount

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 ground amount is too small 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 ground amount is too much if

espresso or coffee flows into the cup very slowly;

the crema is dark brown;

the espresso or coffee tastes bitter.

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

^Tap the arrow buttons until "Amount of coffee" is highlighted. Tap the OK button.

^Tap the arrow keys to change the ground amount.

Tap the OK button.

The setting is now saved.

Brewing temperature

The ideal brewing temperature will depend on

the type of coffee,

whether an espresso or a coffee is being prepared, and

the altitude of the region.

There are five brewing temperatures.

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

^Tap the arrow keys until "Brewing temperature" is highlighted. Tap the OK button.

The check mark ￿ shows which brewing temperature is currently selected.

^Tap the arrow keys until the desired temperature is highlighted. Tap the OK button.
