Beverages with milk

Stainless steel milk container

The stainless steel milk container is vacuum insulated, to keep milk cold for a period of time. With an ambient temperature of about 68°F (20°C), milk at 43°F (6°C) can be stored for 11-12 hours and remain under 55°F (13°C). (Milk that is warmer than 55°F (13°C) should not be used because it will not make good milk froth.) Milk cannot be stored as long if there is a warming drawer underneath the coffee machine.

Do not fill the container to the rim, leave a gap of approx. 1"-1½" (2 - 3 cm) from the top.

Make sure to keep the top and seals of the container clean. Soiling can cause affect the functioning of the milk container.

Cold milk is best for creating froth.

Always pre-warm the cup with hot water, before you prepare a beverage.

After use

Before turning the machine off, or at the end of the day, flush the water lines, the brew unit, the spouts and the milk pipework in order to prevent the machine from clogging (see "Cleaning and care").

You can now operate the appliance as you would for a "standard" profile.

Adjusting the coffee grinder

The finer the coffee beans are ground determines the strength of the coffee and the quality of the crema.

To prevent machine damage adjust the coffee grinder one level at a time and let the beans grind before adjusting another notch. Otherwise the machine will be damaged.

The grinder should be adjusted:

If the espresso flows too quickly into

–

the cup, the pressure cannot be built up because the beans have been ground too coarsely. The grinder should be adjusted to a finer setting.

– If the espresso only trickles into the

cup, the beans have been ground too fine and the coffee will be bitter. The grinder should be adjusted to a coarser setting.

– If the crema is evenly colored but

pale, the ground coffee is too coarse.

To adjust the grinder setting

Push the slide control to the left for a

finer grind or to the right for a coarser grind.

You should be able to feel the notches when moving the slide control.

If the slide control will not move: ^ Close the machine and dispense a

cup of coffee.

Then try to move the slide control again.

–

If the crema is very dark brown on one side, graduating almost to white on the other, the ground coffee is too fine.
