3. Making coffee
Note: The machine is preset for
immediate use. However, we
recommend that first you adjust
the most important settings to suit
your personal needs. Please follow
the instructions in chapter 4
(Programming functions) for filter,
temperature and water hardness
settings.
Note: When the machine is brand
new or has not been used for an
extended period, the first cup of
coffee does not have the full aroma
and should not be drunk.
From model 650 onwards, the ap -
pliance is equipped with automatic
cup lighting for even greater visual
enjoyment. This always lights up
during the whole coffee preparation
process and goes off a few seconds
after the coffee cycle is complete.
3.1 Selecting coffee strength
There are three levels of coffee
strength. They are shown in the
display as follows:
MILD, Symbol uses about 7g
of ground coffee e.g. for cafe latte
or cappuccino
NORMAL, Symbol uses about
9g of ground coffee e.g. for
American coffee
STRONG, Symbol uses about
11g of ground coffee e.g. for
espresso or very strong coffee.
➔ As soon as the machine is
operational, the display shows the
default setting (Symbol ).
➔ You can change this by pressing
coffee strength button (fig. 1/F)
until the desired coffee strength
appears in the display (fig. 1/B).
3.2 Select water quantity
You can freely select the quantity
of water used by turning the water
quantity control knob (fig. 1/D
and 4). The little cup bottom left
represents less water, the large
cup bottom right represents more
water.
Tip: The water quantity can be
ad justed while the machine is
runn ing. Try out various cup sizes
and quantities to find the setting
that best suits your personal
preferences.
3.3 Making one cup
➔ Place your cup under the coffee
spout (fig. 1/I and 3). The coffee
spout is height-adjustable and can
be raised or lowered to suit the
cup size.
