Making coffee with milk

34

Place the milk flask on the right-handside of the coffee system. Connectthe other end of the milk tube to themain dispenser.

Using milk cartons or bottles

The milk tube for cartons and othersuitable containers is located behindthe appliance front.

Connect the milk pipe to the aperturein the main dispenser.

Place a container with sufficient milkbeside the coffee machine.

Place the end of the milk tube in thecontainer making sure that it is suffi-ciently immersed in the milk.

Preparing drinks with milk Place a suitable container under the

main dispenser.

Select a drink.– Cappuccino

– Latte macchiato

– in Additional programs: Caffè Latte, HotMilk, Milk Froth

The drink will now be made.

Grinder setting

35

When the beans are ground correctly,the coffee or espresso will flow evenlyinto the cup with a good crema.The crema should have an even nut-brown colour.

The grinder setting you select will beused for all coffee drinks.

There are various ways to tell whetherthe coffee grinder is set correctly.

The coffee is ground too coarse, if

– espresso or coffee flows into the cuptoo quickly.

– the crema is very pale and uneven.

Set a finer grinder setting.

The coffee is ground too fine, if

– espresso or coffee flows into the cupvery slowly.

– the crema is dark brown.

Set a coarser grinder setting.

To avoid damaging the grinder,please note the following:Only adjust the grinder one setting ata time.Grind the coffee beans again if youwant to adjust the grinder to the nextsetting.

Open the appliance door.

Push the slide control one setting tothe left (for finer grinding) or one set-ting to the right (for coarser grinding).

Close the appliance door.

Opening the appliance resets the in-ternal counter for emptying the driptray and the grounds container.

Empty the drip tray and grounds con-tainer.

Prepare a coffee drink.After that, you can adjust the grindersetting again.

The altered grinder setting will not beused until after the second coffee hasbeen dispensed.

Amount of coffee, brew temperature and pre-brewing

36

You can adjust the amount of coffee,the brew temperature and pre-brewingindividually for each coffee drink. To dothis, first select the drink from the Pa-rameters  menu and then adjust thedrink parameters.

Tap . Select the drink you want and tapOK.

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

Select Amount of coffee, Brew tempera-ture or Pre-brewing.

Select the setting you want andtap OK.

The setting is now saved.

Amount of coffeeThe coffee system can grind and brew6-14 g of coffee beans per cup. Thegreater the quantity, the stronger thecoffee.

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

The amount of coffee is too low, if

– espresso or coffee flows into the cuptoo quickly.

– the crema is very pale and uneven.

– the espresso or coffee lacks body.

Increase the amount of coffee so thatmore ground coffee is brewed.

The amount of coffee is too high, if

– espresso or coffee flows into the cupvery slowly.

– the crema is dark brown.

– the espresso or coffee tastes bitter.

Decrease the amount of coffee so thatless ground coffee is brewed.

Tip: If the coffee is too strong for you orit tastes bitter, try a different type ofbean.

Brewing temperatureThe ideal brewing temperature will de-pend on:

– the type of coffee,

– whether an espresso or a coffee isbeing prepared, and

– the altitude of the region.

If the coffee system is located at morethan 6562 ft. (2000 meters) above sealevel, the brewing temperature needs tobe set lower due to the change in pres-sure. This is because the boiling pointfor water at a high altitude above sealevel is lower than the boiling point forwater at sea level.

Tip: Not all types of coffee can with-stand high temperatures. Certain typesare too delicate - the crema on topwould not be as good and the tastewould be impaired.

Amount of coffee, brew temperature and pre-brewing

37

Pre-brewing ground coffeeWhen the pre-brewing function isturned on, the freshly ground coffee isfirst moistened with a little hot water.Then the remaining water is forcedthrough the moistened coffee at highpressure. This helps release the flavorof the coffee.

You can set pre-brewing for a normallength of time or an extra long length oftime. Alternatively, you can turn off the"Pre-brewing" function. The machine is supplied with the "Pre-brewing" function turned off.

Portion size
