Making an espresso with coffee beans (continued)

Note: When choosing 2 cups of coffee, the pre-set values for ‘coffee strength/ quantity’ to be ground and ‘coffee pour volume’ are increased automatically.

Note: Before the actual coffee brewing process, the ground coffee is dampened by a small amount of water. Known as pre- infusion, this helps in achieving maximum extraction of oils from the coffee grinds.

After a short pause the actual brewing process starts.

Note: You may stop the pour of coffee at any time by briefly pressing the 1 cup button

or the 2 cup button, respectively, which you pressed before.

• The espresso is made.
