Amount of coffee, brew temperature and pre-brewing
You can adjust the amount of coffee,
the brew temperature and pre-brewing
individually for each coffee drink. To do
this, first select the drink from the
Parameters menu and then adjust the
drink parameters.
Tap .
Select the drink you want and tap
OK.
The current settings for the amount of
coffee, brewing temperature and prebrewing will be displayed for this drink.
Select Amount of coffee, Brew
temperature or Pre-brewing.
Select the setting you want and
tapOK.
The setting is now saved.
Amount of coffee
The coffee system can grind and brew
6-14 g of coffee beans per cup. The
greater the quantity, the stronger the
coffee.
There are various ways to tell whether
the amount of coffee is set correctly.
The amount of coffee is too low, if
– espresso or coffee flows into the cup
too quickly.
– the crema is dark brown.
– the espresso or coffee tastes bitter.
Decrease the amount of coffee so that
less ground coffee is brewed.
Tip: If the coffee is too strong for you or
it tastes bitter, try a different type of
bean.
Brewing temperature
The ideal brewing temperature will
depend on:
– the type of coffee,
– whether an espresso or a coffee is
being prepared, and
– the altitude of the region.
If the coffee system is located at more
than 6562 ft. (2000 meters) above sea
level, the brewing temperature needs to
be set lower due to the change in
pressure. This is because the boiling
point for water at a high altitude above
sea level is lower than the boiling point
for water at sea level.
Tip: Not all types of coffee can
withstand high temperatures. Certain
types are too delicate - the crema on
top would not be as good and the taste
would be impaired.
– the crema is very pale and uneven.
– the espresso or coffee lacks body.
Increase the amount of coffee so that
more ground coffee is brewed.
The amount of coffee is too high, if
– espresso or coffee flows into the cup
very slowly.
35
Page 36
Amount of coffee, brew temperature and pre-brewing
Pre-brewing ground coffee
When the pre-brewing function 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 helps release the flavor
of the coffee.
You can set pre-brewing for a normal
length of time or an extra long length of
time. Alternatively, you can turn off the
"Pre-brewing" function.
The machine is supplied with the "Prebrewing" function turned off.

Portion size
The flavor of the coffee produced
depends not just on the type of coffee
used, but also on the amount of water
used.
You can program the amount of water
to suit the size of your cups and the
type of coffee you are using.
For coffee drinks that use milk you can
also set the amount of milk or milk froth
to be dispensed with these drinks.
Additionally, you can set the portion
sizes for hot milk and milk froth alone.
Each type of drink has a maximum
portion size that can be programmed
into the appliance. The coffee machine
halts preparation of the coffee once this
portion size has been reached. The
maximum possible portion size for this
type of drink is then saved in the
appliance.
If the water container becomes empty
while making a drink, the appliance
will stop programming the portion
size. The portion size will not be
saved.

become blocked quite quickly. It must
be degreased regularly in order to
ensure aromatic coffee and trouble-free
operation of the coffee machine.
For optimum cleaning we recommend
Miele cleaning tablets. These cleaning
tablets are specially designed for Miele
built-in coffee machines and will protect
your machine from subsequent
damage.
They are available from the Miele
Webstore, Miele Technical Service or
from your Miele dealer.

Descaling the machine
Important! When descaling the
appliance, cover delicate surfaces
and natural flooring to prevent
damage from splashes of descaling
solution.
Ensure that any splashes of
descaling solution are wiped up
immediately.
Lime scale builds up in the coffee
system through use. How often the
appliance needs to be descaled will
depend on the water hardness level in
your area. It should be descaled
regularly to ensure that it functions
correctly.
The appliance will guide you through
the descaling process. Various
messages will appear in the display,
e.g. you will be prompted to empty the
drip tray or fill the water reservoir.
The descaling process is required and
takes approx.12minutes.

Preparing the descaling solution
We recommend using Miele descaling
tablets for optimum results.
These have been specially developed
for use with Miele coffee machines and
prevent subsequent damage.
Other descaling agents, which
contain other acids besides citric
acid and/or other undesirable
substances, such as chlorides for
example, could damage the coffee
machine. Moreover, the descaling
effect required may not be
guaranteed if the descaling solution
is not of the appropriate
concentration.
You can turn off the coffee machine if
you do not want to descale it at this
time. However, you will be not be able
to make any more drinks until descaling
has been carried out.
Miele descaling tablets are available to
order via the Miele Webstore, from
Miele Service or from your Miele dealer.
