that the water reservoir sits on is
dirty. If the water reservoir is not
sitting correctly, the drain valve will
not be sealed.
Clean the surface if necessary.
23
Filling the coffee bean container
Fill the coffee bean container with
roasted coffee or espresso beans if you
want to use freshly ground coffee beans
for each cup of espresso or coffee.
Alternatively, you can make coffee or
espresso with ground coffee (see
"Making coffee drinks from ground
coffee").
Important! Risk of damage to the
grinder.
Only put roasted coffee or espresso
beans in the container. Anything
else, including ground coffee, will
damage the grinder.
Do not pour liquids in the bean
container.
Important! Sugar damages the coffee
system.
Do not use coffee beans that have
been treated with sugar, caramel, or
other substances containing sugar in
the coffee bean container.
Do not use green (unroasted) coffee
beans or mixtures of coffee beans
which contain green coffee beans.
Green coffee beans are very hard
and still contain a certain amount of
residual moisture. These can
damage the coffee system grinder as
soon as grinding begins.
Take the lid off the coffee bean
container.
Fill the container with roasted coffee
beans.
Replace the lid.
Tip: Tip: Only add enough beans to last
for a few days
as contact with air causes coffee beans
to lose their aroma.
Tip: You can use a nut or seed grinder
to grind green coffee beans. These
types of grinder generally have a
rotating stainless steel blade. You can
then add the ground green coffee
portion by portion to the ground coffee
