An audible signal is heard when pressing the touch display. These audible signals can be switched on or off (see the section "Menu – Key tones").

Preparing drinks

This fully automatic coffee machine can be operated using coffee beans or ground coffee (but not instant coffee). If using coffee beans, they will be freshly ground for each brewing. For optimum quality, store the beans in a cool place in sealed containers.

Note:
Cups should be prewarmed, e.g. with hot water. This applies particularly to small thick-walled espresso cups.

NOTICE:
Fill the water tank with fresh, uncarbonated, cold water every day. The tank should always contain sufficient water for operating the appliance.

Note:
For some settings, coffee is prepared in two stages (see the section "Aroma Double Shot" and "Two cups at once"). Please wait until the process is completely finished.

Beverage selection

Turn the control ring to select different drinks:
The image and the name of the selected drink will appear in the middle of the information display.
The values currently set, e.g. for the coffee strength and temperature are shown on the left and right of the touch display.

The following drinks can be selected:
Ristretto

The following settings are possible:
Coffee strength
mild
normal
strong very
strong
Double Shot
Double Shot +
Double Shot ++

Note:
Aroma Double Shot
The longer coffee is brewed, the more bitter substances and undesirable aromas are released. This has a negative effect on the taste and makes the coffee less easily digested. For extra strong coffee, the appliance has therefore a special Aroma Double Shot function. When half the quantity has been prepared, it grinds and brews fresh coffee beans so that only the pleasant, aromatic scents are released.

Note:
When the 12 oz (360 ml) or 16 oz (480 ml) volume is selected, the Aroma Double Shot function is not aperable.

Note:
The Aroma Double Shot function is not available for Ristretto, Espresso Macchiato, and when ground coffee is used.

Volume
The volume differs depending on the type of drink and can be set in "oz" or "ml" increments. The factory setting is in "oz" and can be converted to "ml", see chapter "Menu - Volume units".

Note:
The volume dispensed can fluctuate depending on the quality of the milk.

Drinks temperature
Values for coffee drinks:
normal
high
very high

Values for hot water:
The factory setting is in "°F" and can be converted to "°C", see chapter "Menu - Temperature format".

160°F (70°C)	White tea
180°F (80°C)	Green tea
