1. PRODUCT REGISTRATION
Please read the enclosed product registration card now. Fill it out
and mail or fax it to us within two weeks after purchasing your
C3000. Impor
tant: The product registration is part of your warranty.
2. THE C3000
The C3000 can prepare 1 or 2 cups of excellent, professional
quality espresso or coffee at a time. The unique pre-wetting
function ensures optimal coffee extraction. The C3000 functions
fully automatically at the touch of a button. You can program the
coffee amount, water, and temperature settings for all coffee
buttons. The integrated burr grinder grinds beans to the correct
fineness. A separate filler funnel lets you use ground coffee. You
can program your machine to shut-off automatically from
1
/2 hour
to 9 hours after last use, and you can also program the C3000 to
automatically turn on at a certain time every day. Additionally,
you can check how many cups of coffee you made for each of
the coffee buttons. The water level and the used coffee container are monitored automatically. Three computer controlled rinsing, cleaning and decalcifying programs facilitate care and maintenance of the machine. If you use the CLARIS water filter cartridge, you can turn off the decalcifying program (see chapter 10
“Adjusting for Water Hardness”).

4. A WORD ABOUT “CREMA COFFEE” (PRESSURE
BREWED COFFEE)
Grinding, tamping and brewing under high pressure in one
sequence is considered the ideal process to extract maximum
flavor and aroma by the majority of coffee experts. Your C3000
will always produce espresso and coffee with a thick, foamy
layer called "crema." The crema traps the fine aromatics and the
light gaseous flavors that register on the palate. It keeps the
flavors that would otherwise escape locked in. The high pressure
and the short brewing time prevent the extraction of bitter oils
and release less caffeine than other brewing methods. You will
always make the absolute freshest and most aromatic cup of
coffee. This is also the reason why many fine European
restaurants and hotels will serve you freshly pressure brewed
coffee only. Use the C3000 to make a cup of coffee! Experiment
with the size of cup and the amount of coffee!
9.
Factoid 1
Caffeine is tasteless. A "strong" coffee or espresso is mostly the
result of the amount of coffee in relation to the amount of water.
The longer a bean is roasted, the less caffeine it has. "Arabica"
beans have less caffeine than "Robusta" beans. "Arabica” beans
have more flavor than "Robusta" beans, which are mostly used
in high-volume coffees and instant coffees.
Factoid 2
Espresso is the way the bean is roasted, not the bean itself. You
can use many different roasts to produce espresso coffee. You
can also use the espresso roasted coffee to make a larger cup
of coffee. In the U.S., espresso roasting results mostly in a darker roast than espresso roasting in Europe.
5. PLEASE, DON’T... (or you will void your warranty
protection):
• Never fill instant coffee into the grinder or ground coffee funnel; it can damage the functioning of the brewing chamber.
• Never fill sugar coated coffee beans into the bean container.
• Never fill frozen beans into the bean container. If you store
beans in the freezer, let them thaw for 3 to 4 hours before filling them into the bean container.
• Never fill anything other than coffee beans into the bean container (no chocolate, no rice, no nuts, no spices, nothing other
than coffee).
• Never fill anything but fresh, cold clean water into the water
container (exception: see chapter 17.2).
• Never use mineral or carbonated water. You can use tap
water, spring water, distilled water and reverse osmosis water.
• Never repair or open the machine yourself. All repairs should
be performed only by an authorized service center.
PLEASE, DO...
• Fill water tank with fresh, cold water only (no distilled water, no
mineral water, no carbonated water).
• Remove foreign particles from coffee beans, such as small stones
or pebbles.
• Let frozen beans thaw for 3 to 4 hours before filling them into the
bean container.
Please call 1-800-220-5701 with any questions.
