Brief description
Brief description
This appliance can be plumbed into a
mains drinking water supply, thus eliminating the need to refill the water container.
Unlike standard coffee machines, this
appliance has a container for coffee
beans so that they can be freshly
ground for every cup, to benefit fully
from the flavour.
First the ground coffee is moistened
with hot water (pre-brewing), to develop the aroma. Next hot water is
forced at high pressure through the
ground coffee. The pre-brewing process is optional.
The used coffee grounds are automatically emptied into the waste unit. There
is no need to remove the grounds manually after each cup.
The size of cup (max. 250 ml) can be
programmed in so that the correct
amount of coffee is dispensed. If the
cup being used has a smaller capacity
than the programmed cup size, prep-
aration can be halted at any time by
pressing one of the coffee portion buttons.
If two cups of coffee or espresso are
required at the same time, the appropriate coffee portion button must be
pressed twice. The machine will fill the
cups in two stages with a slight pause
in between.
The machine can be programmed to
grind from 6 to 9g of coffee, depending
on the type. The programmed-in quan-
tity will be the same for all sizes of cup
(small/espresso, medium coffee, large
coffee). Only the amount of water will
change.
The fineness to which the coffee is
ground can also be programmed in.
The hot water from the hot water spout
is at an ideal temperature for making
tea.
The light can be switched on independently of operation.
In the interests of safety, the electricity
supply is switched off as soon as the
front of the appliance is opened. There
is also a system lock to prevent children from operating the machine.
The easy to use programming facility
allows amongst other things the language in the display window to be altered, and the water hardness to be
programmed in.
To ensure that the flavour can develop
fully and be maintained for longer the
appliance has an additional function to
automatically rinse and pre-warm the
system.
11
Brief description
Hot water from the hot water spout can
be used to pre-warm the cups.
The appliance can be programmed to
switch to standby mode so it is always
ready for operation but does not consume unnecessary electricity. This can
be programmed to happen between 15
minutes and 12 hours 45 minutes after
coffee was last dispensed.
To save time when preparing coffee for
a number of people, the pre-grind function can be selected, so there is always
a portion of ground coffee ready.

Rinsing
To remove any coffee grounds from the system the
water piping must be rinsed through and the machine cleaned thoroughly before the first drink of coffee is prepared. If programme "Rinsing" is set to
"On" rinsing will start automatically when the appliance is cold and the selector switch is set to the
"On" position, with or without lighting. This will warm
the brew unit up at the same time because hot
water is used for the rinse process. A suitable message will appear in the display.

Setting the water hardness
For trouble-free operation of the coffee machine,
and to ensure that the descaling indicator comes on
at the appropriate time, it is important to programme
in the water hardness. The water hardness indicates
how much calcium is dissolved in the water. The
higher the calcium content, the harder the water is.
The machine monitors the volume of water passing
through it in conjunction with the hardness of the
water. Less hard water can be allowed to pass
through before descaling than soft water.
The local water authority will be able to tell you the
hardness of water in your area. Alternatively, you
can measure the hardness yourself using the enclosed test strip:
Dip the test strip in your drinking water for approximately a second, then shake off any excess
water.
The result will be evident after about a minute.
If the water is harder than 7.0 mmol/l or 700 mg/l
(40 °d), it should be mixed with an equal proportion of still mineral water to avoid damage to the
machine. Never use distilled water.
17
Programming the appliance
Use programming option “Water hardness” to programme in the water hardness.

Setting the portion sizes
Setting the portion sizes
Important: before preparing the very first cup
of coffee, the water piping must be rinsed
through several times to flush out any residues
remaining from the factory testing of the machine. (See Cleaning and care: Rinse button)
The flavour of the coffee produced depends on the
type of coffee, how finely the beans are ground and
the quantity of water used. Espresso, coffee and tea
cups vary in size. To ensure the machine uses
exactly the amount of water to suit your taste and
your cups, there is a choice of four different portion
sizes (max. 250 ml):
three portion sizes for espresso/coffee and one for
tea.
The coffee portion buttons are designed for the following types of coffee:
The small / espresso button a dispenses a standard size espresso to be served in a standard espresso cup.
The medium coffee button b dispenses coffee for
a standard size coffee cup. It uses the same quantity of ground coffee as an espresso, but adds more
water.
The large coffee button c dispenses a large coffee, suitable for a large coffee cup or mug. Again,
only the volume of water is increased, resulting in a
milder flavour.
The volume of water dispensed by each button can
be altered to suit your needs.
Have the correct size of cup available to carry out
the following steps.

To prevent water from running into the drip
tray always place an empty cup under the
coffee spouts before making the first cup
of coffee. Otherwise the drip tray will need to be
emptied regularly.
Warming the system and the cups
The system and the cups should always be prewarmed to allow the flavour to develop and be retained. The aroma of espresso does not react well to
cold, so the appliance has a pre-warming function.

38
Cappuccino
To make cappuccino you need a china or porcelain
cup, a large container such as a milk jug and milk.
Cold, low-fat milk (1.5% fat) is best for cre-
ating froth and ideally it should be pre-
pared in a cold, stainless steel jug that narrows towards the top.
Fill the jug/container about one third full with cold
milk and dispense a portion of espresso into a
china cup.
The volume of the milk in the jug will double or
triple when frothed. If the jug is too full to start
with, the milk could overflow, leading to a risk of
scalding.
Direct the steam spout towards the drip tray and
slowly turn the steam control dial anti-clockwise.
Making coffee
Any condensed water in the spout will be expelled.
As soon as steam appears from the spout, switch
the steam off by turning the control dial clockwise
o
to the
position.
39
Making coffee
Position the steam spout just below the surface of
the milk in the jug and slowly turn the steam control dial anti-clockwise.
Move the jug in circles until a thick froth has built
up, then lower the spout deeper into the milk to
heat the rest.
Do not let the milk boil! This would cause
the froth to collapse and a skin to form.
With a little practice, you will soon achieve
perfect results.
Switch the steam off. by turning the control dial
clockwise to the
o
position.
Take the jug away from the steam spout. Carefully
pour the milk into the coffee and spoon some
froth onto the surface.
The cappuccino is ready. As a finishing
touch, sprinkle a little cocoa powder over
the froth.
Always clean the steam spout immediately after
use, as it is harder to clean once milk has dried on.
(See section on “Cleaning and care”.)

Programming the coffee grinder
Programming the coffee grinder
A good espresso with a thick, even froth depends
not only on the quality, pressure and temperature of
the water and the quality of the coffee beans, but
also on the quantity of beans and how finely they
are ground.
The froth should have an even colour with dark
stripes running through it.
Grinding the coffee
To avoid damage to the machine, the slide control for the coffee grinder setting should be
moved carefully and in small stages.
There are various ways to tell whether the coffee
grinder is set correctly:
– If espresso flows too quickly into the cup, it
means that the coffee has been ground too coarsely and the pressure is not sufficient. The grinder
should be set on a finer setting.
– If espresso only trickles into the cup, the coffee
has been ground too finely and the coffee will be
bitter. The grinder should be set on a coarser setting.
– If the froth is evenly coloured but pale, this is also
a sign that the coffee beans have been ground
too coarsely.
– If the froth is very dark brown on one side, grad-
uating almost to white on the other, it suggests
that coffee beans have been ground too finely.
43
Programming the coffee grinder
To alter the grinder setting
push the upper slide control to the left (for finer
grinding) or to the right (for coarser grinding).
You should be able to feel the notches clearly
when moving the slide control.
If the slide refuses to move,
close the machine and dispense a cup of espresso coffee.
Then try the slide control again.
Setting the quantity
Both the flavour and the froth on the coffee depend
on the quantity of ground coffee used.
6 to 9 grammes of coffee beans are used per cup,
depending on the type of coffee. The greater the
quantity, the stronger the flavour will be.
The quality of the froth is also affected by the quantity:
– If the froth is evenly coloured but pale, it could
mean that too little coffee is being used.
– If the froth is very dark brown on one side, grad-
uating almost to white on the other, it could mean
that too much coffee is being used.
To alter the amount of coffee to be ground,
push the lower slide control to the left (to grind
less coffee) or to the right (to grind more coffee).
44
Cleaning and care
Danger - always allow the machine to cool down
before cleaning. Danger of scalding!
Do not clean the appliance with a steam cleaner
to avoid damage to the machine.
Never use cleaners containing chlorides, sand,
soda or scouring agents. These would damage
the surface.
It is important to clean the machine regularly, as the
used coffee grounds will soon go mouldy.
Rinse button
Before switching the machine off for any length of
time, place a cup under the coffee spouts and press
the e button.
This will rinse the system, brew unit and spouts of
any coffee remains.
(The appliance must be operational and heated
up as otherwise it will not react when the button is
pressed.)

will not stagnate and collect bacteria.
45
Cleaning and care
The appliance front and interior
Clean the front and the interior of the machine with a
solution of hot water and washing up liquid. Dry with
a cloth.
On the inside of the front there is a funnel. Underneath the funnel is a small sponge to catch any
drips. Rinse the sponge out every day.
Drip tray
At the rear of the drip tray is a float which will protrude from the drip tray when it is full. Remove the
tray and empty and clean it.
To avoid a build-up of odour the drip tray should be
cleaned every day.
Remove the grille from the drip tray.
The metal grille can be washed in a dishwasher.
The plastic grille should be washed by hand with
a solution of hot water and washing up liquid
Open the appliance front.
Carefully remove the drip tray and wash it by
hand with a solution of hot water and washing up
liquid.
Dry all the pieces and replace them in reverse

then press the ENTER button. Otherwise the machine will get blocked. This is a safety feature to
prevent the waste unit from overflowing. The machine counts the number of times coffee
grounds are emptied into the waste unit. It automatically prompts you to empty it after a certain
number of times.
47
Cleaning and care
Brew unit
As soon as the waste unit has been cleaned, the
brew unit must be cleaned as well.
The brew unit can only be removed when the
waste unit has been taken out.
The brew unit must be cleaned by hand because the moving parts are lubricated and the
rubber seals could become brittle in a dishwasher.
Lubricate parts of the brew unit as necessary
(approx. every 500 portions) with the silicone lubricant supplied, to keep the machine working
smoothly (see “Lubricating the brew unit”).
Grasp the brew unit by the handle and press the
part marked PRESS with the thumb.
Carefully pull the brew unit out.
If the brew unit is difficult to remove it is not correctly positioned, (see Problem solving guide).
Clean the brew unit thoroughly under hot running
water without washing-up liquid.
Wipe any remaining coffee off the steel filters.
There is one filter inside the funnel and a second
one to the left of it. The second one can be
removed for cleaning (see "Cleaning the filters").
Dry the funnel area to prevent ground coffee from
sticking to it.
Directly after cleaning, press the part marked
PRESS once.

The Waterproof system
Features
The core feature of the Waterproof system is an electrical safety valve. It works like an automatic stopcock to protect from water damage in the following
situations:
– Protection in the event of a leaking appliance.
Any leaking water is collected in a sump in the
base of the appliance. A float switch switches off
the safety valve electrically. This prevents any
more water getting into the machine.
– Protection in the event of a leaking water inlet
hose.
Leaking water is fed into the sump through the
protective covering which surrounds the inlet
hose as a “second skin”. The float switch switches off the water supply.
Fitting the Waterproof system
This appliance is not suitable for connection to
hot water.
The stopcock must be accessible for servicing
work after the appliance has been built-in.
The water inlet housing must not be dipped in
water.
The inlet hose should not be lengthened because this would lead to too much water remaining in the hose. The quality of the coffee would
be diminished.
66
Direct water connection
The machine should be connected to a mains water
supply in accordance with standard regulations.
The German authorities do not require it to have a
non-return valve as it has been designed to comply
with the relevant German DIN regulations.
The machine is designed to operate with a minimum
flow pressure of 1 bar. There is a minimum flow
pressure of 1 bar if 5 litres of water flow into a suitable container in 15 seconds.
The static water pressure must not exceed 10 bar. If
it is higher than 10 bar it is essential to fit a reducer
valve.
Connection to the mains water supply should incorporate a mains stopcock with 3/4” thread. The stopcock should be fitted by a qualified plumber.
The connection point is subject to mains water
pressure. Turn on the stopcock slowly and check
for leaks. Correct the position of the washer and
union if appropriate.
The protective sleeve of the hose must not be
damaged or kinked. The water inlet hose must
not be shortened or damaged in any way.
Maintenance and care
Only use a Miele Waterproof system should you
ever need a replacement or extension. These are
tested to withstand pressure of at least 70 bar.
In order to protect the water inlet valves the dirt filter
in the solenoid safety valve connection must not be
removed.

Glossary
Glossary
Arabica is a high quality coffee bean.
It is long and flat with a groove running
around it. The caffeine content is approximately 0.8 - 1.3%. It is strong and
aromatic, but less bitter than the Robusta bean.
We recommend this type of coffee
bean.
Blending is the secret of the coffee
roaster. The blend determines the flavour and quality of the coffee and
varies according to how the coffee is to
be used. The only way to decide on
the blend to suit your taste is trial and
error.
Caffè is the Italian term for a standard
espresso. Its full name is caffè es-
presso. It can be taken after a meal
and throughout the day.
Caffè americano is a thin espresso
with lots of water.
Caffè corretto is espresso with a dash
of something stronger such as Grappa,
brandy or a liqueur.
Caffè freddo is otherwise known as
iced coffee. An extended version of espresso, it is served in summer with ice
cubes and liquid sugar.
Caffè latte is a double espresso in a
large cup filled with hot milk, topped
with little or no froth, for people who
enjoy milk.
Caffè moca consists of one third espresso, one third hot milk and one third
cocoa. Often served in a tall glass.
Caffè ristretto is the strongest, most
concentrated espresso. The water is
reduced to 30 ml per portion.
Caffeine - the caffeine content of espresso is only a third or half the caffeine found in coffee. The darker the
roast, the less caffeine the espresso
will contain.
Cappuccino is espresso with frothed
milk. It is served in a ceramic cup with
one third espresso, one third hot milk
and one third froth. To obtain a good
froth, the milk should be well cooled
and frothed in a cold container.
Cappuccino chiaro is a “light” cappuccino with less espresso and more hot
milk.
Cappuccino scuro is a “dark” cappucino with more espresso and less milk.
Cappuccino senza schiuma is cappucino with hot milk but without the froth.
Crema is the sign of the perfect cup of
espresso - a fine, nut or cinnamon
brown froth on the surface of the espresso, which is only created when the
pressure is sufficiently high. The
Crema contains the frothed oils which
are rich in flavour and aroma and, quite
simply, it helps to keep the espresso
warm.
Espresso, see Caffè
Espresso corto is a small, strong es-
presso.
Espresso doppio is quite simply a
double portion of normal espresso.
Espresso lungo is the larger, less con-
centrated version served in a standard
coffee cup.
74
Glossary
Espresso ristretto is a double
strength, bitter tasting espresso.
Grinding - the success of the es-
presso depends on how coarse or fine
the coffee beans are ground. If the
grounds are too coarse, the water flows
through too quickly and does not create sufficient pressure to release the
aroma. If the grounds are too fine, it
hinders the flow of water, so the preparation time is too long and the espresso will taste bitter. In a humid atmosphere the beans swell more, so
they should be ground more finely.
However, there are no hard and fast
rules about grinding the coffee.
Macchiato is espresso with a tiny shot
of hot milk and some froth which gives
it a dappled (macchiato) appearance.
Pressure is important as it releases the
suspended particles in the coffee
which give it its aroma. If the pressure
is too low, the aroma cannot develop
fully. If it is too high, it releases tannin
and a bitter flavour. Pressure is also important for creating the Crema.
Robusta is a cheaper coffee bean. It
is round and convex with an almost
straight groove. The caffeine content is
around 2 to 2.5%. It is more bitter than
the Arabica bean.
Roasting is very important for the flavour and caffeine content of the espresso. Roasting releases the ethereal
oils which create the aroma and flavour.
Roasting concentrates the flavour but
burns off the caffeine, so the darker the
roast, the lower the caffeine content.
Lightly roasted beans have an acid flavour, dark roasted beans taste more bitter.
Storage - coffee is best kept in the
fridge to preserve the aroma.
Water hardness can affect the flavour
of the espresso. If the water is harder
than 7.0 mmol/l or 700 mg/l (40 °d), it
should be mixed with an equal proportion of still mineral water.
Pre-warming the cups is to be recommended to prevent the espresso from
cooling too quickly.
Quantity - the quantity of ground coffee used for each cup can be set between 6 and 9g per cup, depending on
taste. Generally 6 to 7g are used for a
cup of espresso, but there are no absolute rules.
