Brief description

Unlike standard coffee machines, this appliance has a container for coffee beans so that they can be freshly ground for each cup for the best flavor. First the ground coffee is moistened with hot water (pre-brewing), to de-velop the aroma. Then hot water is forced at high pressure through the ground coffee. The pre-brewing pro-cess is optional.

The used coffee grinds are automati-cally emptied into the waste unit, so there is no need to remove the grinds after each cup.

The size of cup (max. 1 cup or 250 ml) can be programmed in so that the cor-rect amount of coffee is dispensed. If the cup being used has a smaller ca-pacity than the programmed cup size, dispensing can be stopped at any time by pressing one of the coffee serving buttons.

If two cups of coffee or espresso are needed at the same time, the appropri-ate coffee portion button must be pressed twice. The machine will fill the cups in two stages, a few seconds apart.

The machine can be programmed to grind from 6 to 9g of coffee. The pro-grammed quantity will be the same for all serving sizes (espresso, coffee, large coffee). Only the amount of water will change.

The fineness to which the coffee is ground can also be programmed in. The hot water from the hot water spout is at an ideal temperature for making

The light can be turned on inde-pendently of operation.

As a safety feature, power is turned off as soon as the front of the appliance is opened. There is also a system lock to prevent children from operating the machine.

The easy to use programming allows the coffee system’s features to be cus-tomized to each household.

To fully develop and maintain the flavor of espresso, the appliance has an addi-tional feature to prewarm the system. Hot water from the hot water spout can be used to pre-warm cups.

The appliance can be programmed to switch to standby mode so it is always ready for operation but does not con-sume unnecessary electricity. This can be programmed to happen between 15 minutes and 12 hours 45 minutes after coffee was last dispensed.

To save time when preparing coffee for a number of people, pre-grind can be selected, so there is always a portion of ground coffee ready for brewing.

(11)

Setting the water hardness

For easy operation of the coffee machine, and to en-sure that the descaling indicator comes on at the ap-propriate time, it is important to program the water hardness. The water hardness indicates how much calcium is dissolved in the water. The higher the cal-cium content, the harder the water is.

The machine monitors the volume of water passing through it in conjunction with the hardness of the water. Descaling will have to be done more often for hard water.

The local water authority will be able to tell you the hardness of water in your area or you can measure the hardness yourself using the enclosed test strip: Dip the strip in your drinking water for one sec-ond, then shake off any excess water.

The result will be evident after a minute.

If the hardness level exceeds40 gr/gal (approx. 700 ppm), the water must be mixed with noncar-bonated mineral water in a proportion of 1:1, otherwise scale will develop too quickly. Never use distilled water.

(16)

Use programming option “Water hardness” to pro-gram the water hardness.

There are four programmable levels:

Level

(appliance)

Hardness

(tap water) gr/gal ppm _through-flowWater

in liters

Hardness 1 1 (soft) 0 - 3 0 - 1.3 approx. 500 Hardness 2 1 (soft) 4 - 7 1.3 - 2.5 approx. 300 Hardness 3 2 (medium) 7 - 14 2.5 - 3.8 approx. 150 Hardness 4 3 (hard)

4 (very hard)

14 - 21 over 21

over 3.8 approx. 80

Turn the program selector counterclockwise to the “Program mode”.

The following will appear in the display window:

Press the e button to highlight programming op-tion “Water hardness” with an asterisk.

Press the e button to set the water hardness level (hardness 1 - hardness 4)

(17)

This will bring you out of the sub-menu.

Selecting the temperature for drinks

The appliance can be set at different tem-peratures to suit varying coffee drinking preferences.

Five temperature levels are available for each drink option. Maximum is the highest temperature, mini-mum the lowest.

Not all types of coffee can withstand high tempera-tures. Some are too delicate and their foam will col-lapse under high heat.

Press the e button to highlight programming op-tion “Temp. long coffee”, “Temp. coffee” or “Temp. short coffee” with an asterisk.

A different temperature can be programmed in for each drink option.

Press ENTER to confirm the option.

Depending on the programming option selected, the sub-menu is shown in the display window as follows:

(18)

Press the e button to set the temperature to mini-mum, low, medium, high or maximum.

Turning the pre-brewing feature on or off

When the pre-brewing feature is turned on, the freshly ground coffee is first moistened with a little hot water. Then the remaining water is forced through the moistened coffee at high pressure. This pre-brewing process allows the aroma and foam of the coffee to fully develop.

When the pre-brewing feature is off, the hot water is forced through the coffee immediately.

(19)

Press the e button to highlight programming option “Pre-brewing” with an asterisk.

Press the e button to set the pre-brewing process on, off or to “long” (an extra long pre-brew).

When making coffee with the pre-brewing feature on, the word “Pre-brewing” will appear in the display window after the coffee has been ground.

(20)

Turning the pre-grinding feature on or off

When the pre-grinding feature is on, a new portion of beans will be ground immediately after each cof-fee is dispensed, so there is always a portion of ground coffee ready. This saves time and is particu-larly useful when making coffee for a number of guests. To prevent loss of aroma, the pre-grinding feature should be turned off when only preparing coffee occasionally.

Press the e button to highlight programming op-tion “Pre-grinding” with an asterisk.

Press the e button to turn the pre-grinding feature On or Off.

(21)

(25)

Filling the water and coffee bean containers

Please clean the machine thoroughly before fill-ing the water container and the coffee bean con-tainer, (see the Section on Cleaning and care).

Filling the water container

The quality of the water is important in the overall quality of the coffee. The water container must be emptied, cleaned and freshly filled every day.

Hot water and other liquids could damage the machine. Replace the water daily with cold, clean drinking water.

Open the front of the machine.

Lift the water container up and pull it forward to remove.

(26)

Open the lid and fill the container with cold, clean drinking water to within about 1” (2 cm) of the top. A valve in the base of the container will ensure that no water can escape.

Close the lid and place the container in the ma-chine, pushing it straight to the back.

The container should now be sitting flat on the floor of the machine.

Filling the coffee bean container

Only put espresso or coffee beans in the con-tainer. Anything else, including ground coffee, hot cocoa, or instant coffee could damage the grinder. Only use pure coffee beans. Do not use coffee beans treated with caramel, any kind of sugar or anything else. Do not remove the coffee bean con-tainer from the appliance unless it is completely empty, otherwise coffee beans will spill out. @KLOTZ = Carefully pull the container out as far as it will go, so that the lid is fully visible. Lift the lid.

Fill the container with coffee beans to within about 1” (2 cm) of the top.

Close the lid and push the container back into place.

(27)

Setting the serving sizes

The flavor of the coffee produced depends on the type of coffee, how finely the beans are ground and the quantity of water used. Espresso, coffee and tea cups vary in size. To ensure the machine uses exactly the amount of water to suit your taste and your cups, there is a choice of four different serving sizes(max. 8 oz. or 250 ml):

three serving sizes for espresso/coffee and one for tea.

The coffee serving buttons are designed for the fol-lowing types of coffee:

The espresso button a dispenses a standard size espresso to be served in a standard espresso cup. The coffee button b dispenses coffee for a stand-ard size coffee cup. It uses the same quantity of ground coffee as an espresso, but adds more water. The long coffee button c dispenses a long coffee, suitable for a large coffee cup or mug. Again, only the volume of water is increased, resulting in a milder flavor.

The volume of water dispensed by each button can be adjusted to your taste.

Have the correct size of cup available to carry out the following steps.

(28)

Coffee and espresso cups

Turn the program selector clockwise to the “On” position (with or without lighting).

If the machine is cold and the rinse program has been selected, the following message will be dis-played once the water is hot:

Once the water is hot, it will automatically be ex-pelled from the coffee dispensers.

Wait until the following message appears in the dis-play window:

Place one cup under the two coffee dispensers. Coffee is always dispensed simultaneously from both spouts.

Press the coffee serving button appropriate to the size of cup until the cup is full as desired. Re-lease the coffee serving button.

(29)

The procedure is the same for the other two cof-fee serving buttons.

The volumes of water programmed in will now be dispensed every time.

Tea cup

To program in the volume of water for a tea cup, feature “Prog. hot water” must be turned on. (See the section on “Turning the programmed hot water on or off”).

The following two messages will appear in suc-cession in the display window:

If the machine is cold and the rinse program has been selected, the following message will be dis-played once the water is hot:

Press the hot water button d. There will be a few seconds delay before water is dispensed. When the cup is as full release the hot water but-ton d.

The following will appear in the display window during this procedure:

The volume of hot water programmed in will now be dispensed every time.

If the feature “Prog. hot water” is off, the machine will continue to dispense hot water until the hot water button d is pressed again to stop it.

(31)

Making coffee

It is extremely important to run a rinse cycle be-fore the coffee system is used for the first time. This will occur automatically if the rinse feature is turned “on” in the Programming mode and the machine is still cold.

When warming up the appliance, the display win-dow will show:

Once hot, water will flush out of the coffee dispen-sers.

If the “Rinse” feature has been turned “off” in the Programming mode, use the Rinse/pre-warm button as outlined in the Cleaning section to rinse the ma-chine before its first use.

Warming the system and the cups

The pre-warm feature allows the system and the cups to be pre-warmed to allow the flavor to de-velop and be retained.

Turn the program selector to the On position (with or without lighting).

If the program selector is already in this position with the message “Standby. . .“ shown in the dis-play window, the machine is in the energy-saving mode. Press ENTER to switch it into operation. The following will appear in the display window:

Wait until the following message appears in the dis-play window:

(32)

The machine will fill the cups in two stages with a slight pause in between. Depending on the serving selected, the following will appear in the display win-dow:

If “Pre-brewing” is on, the following will appear in the display window after the grinding process:

Leave the cups under the spouts until the two cups have disappeared from the dis-play window. The process is now finished.

(36)

Cappuccino

To make cappuccino, a china or porcelain cup, a heat resistant pitcher, and milk are needed.

Cold, low-fat milk (1.5% fat) is best for cre-ating foam. Ideally it should be prepared in a cold, stainless steel pitcher that nar-rows towards the top.

Fill a third of the pitcher with cold milk and dis-pense a serving of espresso into a china cup. The volume of the milk in the pitcher will double or triple when foamed. If the pitcher is too full the milk could overflow when steaming and cause burns.

Direct the steam spout towards the drip tray and slowly turn the steam selector counterclockwise. Any condensed water in the spout will be ex-pelled.

As soon as steam appears from the spout, shut the steam off by turning the steam selector clock-wise, to the o position.

(37)

Position the steam spout just below the surface of the milk in the pitcher and slowly turn the steam selector counterclockwise.

Move the pitcher in circles until a thick foam ap-pears, then lower the spout deeper into the milk to heat the rest.

The milk must not be allowed to boil or the foam will collapse and a skin will form. With a little practice, you will soon achieve perfect results.

Turn the steam off by turning the steam selector clockwise to the o _position.

Pull the pitcher away from the steam spout. Care-fully pour the milk into the coffee and spoon some foam onto the surface.

As a finishing touch, sprinkle a little cocoa powder over the foam.

Always clean the steam spout immediate-ly after use, as it is harder to clean once milk has dried. (See section on “Cleaning and care”.)

(38)

Hot water

When turned on, the machine will dispense hot water at any time for tea or other drinks.

Turn the program selector clockwise to the On po-sition (with or without lighting).

If the program selector is already in this position with the message “Standby. . .” shown in the dis-play window, the machine is in energy-saving mode. Press ENTER to activate use.

Wait until the following appears in the display win-dow:

Place a suitable container (e.g. a tea cup) under the hot water spout.

Press the hot water button d.

Hot water will be dispensed . As soon as the con-tainer is full, press the hot water button d again.

The machine will stop automatically if a volume has been programmed in for hot water and feature “Prog. hot water” is acti-vated.

(39)

After use

Before turning the machine off for an ex-tended period, the coffee dispensers and the brew unit must be flushed cleaned with fresh water.

Press the Rinse/pre-warm button.

The display window will read:

Press ENTER and the display will change to:

Hot, fresh water will flow through the brew unit and out of the coffee dispensers, cleaning them in the process. The display will show:

(40)

Programming the coffee grinder

A good espresso with a thick, even foam depends not only on the quality, pressure and temperature of the water and the quality of the coffee beans, but also on the quantity of beans and how finely they are ground.

The foam should have an even color with dark stripes running through it.

Grinding the coffee

To prevent machine damage, the slide control for the coffee grinder setting should be moved care-fully and in small adjustments.

There are various ways to tell whether the coffee grinder is set correctly:

– If the espresso flows too quickly into the cup, the coffee has been ground too coarsely and the pressure is not sufficient. The grinder should be adjusted to a finer setting.

– If the espresso only trickles into the cup, the beans have been ground too fine and the coffee will be bitter. The grinder should be adjusted to a coarser setting.

– If the foam is evenly colored but pale, this is also a sign that the ground coffee is too coarse. – If the foam is very dark brown on one side,

grad-uating almost to white on the other, it suggests that the ground coffee is too fine.

To adjust the grinder setting

push the upper slide control to the left (for finer grinding) or to the right (for coarser grinding). You should be able to feel the notches clearly when moving the slide control.

If the slide control will not move,

close the machine and dispense a cup of coffee. Then try to move the slide control again.

Setting the quantity

Both the flavor and the foam on the coffee depend on the quantity of ground coffee used.

6 to 9 g of coffee beans are used per cup, depend-ing on the type of coffee. The greater the quantity, the stronger the flavor will be. The quality of the foam is also affected by the quantity:

– If the foam is evenly colored but pale not enough coffee is being used.

– If the foam is very dark brown on one side, grad-uating almost to white on the other, too much cof-fee is being used.

To adjust the amount of coffee to be ground, push the lower slide control to the left (to grind less coffee) or to the right (to grind more coffee).

(42)

Cleaning and care

Danger - always allow the machine to cool be-fore cleaning. Danger of scalding.

Do not clean the appliance with a steam cleaner. Steam could penetrate electrical components and cause a short circuit.

Never use a detergent containing sand, soda, acid or chlorine as these will damage the sur-face.

. . . coffee was not dispensed even though the water tank is full and the coffee beans were ground?

Was the coffee grinder set to the finest grind se-lection or to the maximum quantity of coffee selec-tion?

The coffee grinding is a timed process that depends on the fineness of the grind and the quantity of beans being ground. Therefore, depending on the type of beans being used, setting the fineness at minimum and quantity at maximum may not allow enough time for the process to be completed. This would result in coffee not being brewed.

Set the grinder on a coarser setting or select a smaller quantity of coffee.

Glossary

Arabica is a high quality coffee bean. It is long and flat with a groove running around it. The caffeine content is ap-proximately 0.8 - 1.3%. It is strong and aromatic, but less bitter than the Ro-busta bean.

Blending is the secret of the coffee roaster. The blend determines the fla-vor and quality of the coffee and varies according to how the coffee is to be used. The only way to decide on the blend to suit your taste is trial and error. Caffè is the Italian term for a standard espresso. Its full name is caffè es-presso.

Caffè americano is a thin espresso with water added.

Caffè corretto is espresso with a dash of something stronger such as grappa, brandy or a liqueur.

Caffè freddo is iced coffee. An ex-tended version of espresso, it is served in summer with ice.

Caffè latte is a double espresso in a large cup filled with hot milk, topped with little or no foam, for people who enjoy milk.

Caffè moca consists of one third es-presso, one third hot milk and one third cocoa. Often served in a tall glass. Caffè ristretto is the strongest, most concentrated espresso. The water is reduced to 2 tablespoons (30 ml) per serving.

Caffeine - the caffeine content of es-presso is only a third or half the caf-feine found in coffee. The stronger the

Cappuccino is espresso with foamed milk. It is one third espresso, one third hot milk and one third foam. To obtain a good foam, the milk should be cold and foamed in a cold container.

Cappuccino chiaro is a “light” cappuc-cino with less espresso and more hot milk.

Cappuccino scuro is a “dark” cappu-cino with more espresso and less milk. Cappuccino senza schiuma is a cap-pucino without the foam.

Crema is the sign of the perfect cup of espresso - a fine, nut or cinnamon brown foam on the surface of the es-presso, which is only created when the pressure is sufficiently high. The crema contains the foamed oils which are rich in flavor and aroma and helps to keep the espresso warm.

Espresso, see Caffè

Espresso corto is a “short”, strong es-presso.

Espresso doppio is a double portion of normal espresso.

Espresso lungo is the longer, less con-centrated version served in a standard coffee cup.

(69)

Espresso ristretto is a double strength, bitter tasting espresso. Grinding - the success of the es-presso depends on how coarse or fine the coffee beans are ground. If the grinds are too coarse, the water flows through too quickly and does not cre-ate sufficient pressure to release the aroma. If the grinds are too fine, it hin-ders the flow of water, so the prepara-tion time is too long and the espresso will taste bitter. In a humid atmosphere the beans swell more, so they should be ground more finely.

Macchiato is espresso with a dollop of hot, foamed milk giving a dappled (macchiato) appearance.

Pressure is important as it releases the suspended particles in the coffee which give it its aroma. If the pressure is too low, the aroma can not fully de-velop. If it is too high, it releases tannin creating a bitter flavor. Pressure is also important for creating the crema. Pre-warming the cups is recom-mended to prevent the espresso from cooling too quickly.

Quantity - the quantity of ground cof-fee used for each cup can be set be-tween 6 and 9g per cup, depending on taste. Generally 6 to 7g are used for a cup of espresso, but there are no abso-lute rules.

Robusta is a cheaper coffee bean. It is round and convex with an almost straight groove. The caffeine content is around 2 to 2.5%. It is more bitter than the Arabica bean.

Roasting is very important for the fla-vor and caffeine content of espresso. Roasting releases the ethereal oils which create aroma and flavor. As roasting concentrates the flavor it burns off the caffeine, so the darker the roast, the lower the caffeine content. Lightly roasted beans have an acidic flavor, dark roasted beans taste more bitter.

Storage - coffee is best kept in the re-frigerator to preserve the aroma. Water hardness can affect the flavor of the coffee. Water harder than

700 ppm (40 gr/gal), should be mixed with an equal amount of non carbo-nated mineral water.
