CHOICE OF INGREDIENTS
Coffee
Opt for coffee that is suitable for making filter coffee. Most commercially available ground filter coffee can
be found in most good supermarkets. Avoid special espresso ground coffee because it can be too strong
and bitter for this type of preparation.
Close the packet of ground filter coffee carefully after use. To ensure the coffee stays fresh during storage,
seal the packet of coffee after removing as much air as possible. Once opened, the packet of coffee should
be kept in the fridge.
What variety of coffee should I choose?
■ For full-flavoured coffee
Go for pure Arabica coffee for use in filter coffee machines or coffee mainly made up of Arabica blends.
Traditionally roasted coffee is preferred because its flavour offers more complexity and finesse. To vary
flavours, try pure original coffee.
■ For strong coffee
Choose Robusta coffee blends for use in filter coffee machines - 100% Arabica - or Italian roasted or
specified as Italian flavour coffee.
Milk
■ This appliance allows you to froth and/or heat milk in two different ways in terms of frothing and
temperature.
■ You may use skimmed, semi-skimmed or whole milk.
■ The use of special milk (enriched, soya, etc.) may give less satisfactory results particularly in terms of the
quality of the froth.
■ We always recommend using fresh, cold milk for best results.
Your ideas
■ To flavour your drinks, you can use syrup, (hazelnut, vanilla, caramel, cookies, speculoos, gingerbread,
etc.).
■ You can use caramel or chocolate toppings to garnish your drink.
■ Chocolate or coloured vermicelli, chocolate flakes, toasted hazelnuts and mini-marshmallows will give your
drinks a decorative touch.
Note: do not put ingredients such as syrup, dessert toppings or pieces of chocolate, etc directly
into the milk jug.
MAKING COFFEE
You can make the coffee separately from the milk or at the same time.
To do this:
■ Open the lid (a) - fig.5.
■ Fill the water tank with cold water (b) - fig.6.
■ Place a No. 4 filter paper in the filter holder - fig.8. Check that the filter holder is correctly in place. If this
is not the case, insert the filter holder vertically then fold down the handle - fig.7.
■ Pour in the required quantity of coffee - fig.9.
Dosage : We recommend using one level measuring spoon (n) of coffee per large cup.
■ Close the lid again - fig.10.
■ Press to start the cycle. The button remains lit all the time while the coffee is being prepared - fig.11.
■ Your coffee maker comes with an automatic keep warm function. At the end of the cycle, it will automatically
switch off after 30 min.
■ If you do not want to use the keep warm function, press at end of the cycle.
■ The button is no longer lit up and the coffee maker is switched off.
