BREWING COFFEE
Coee preparation
Before brewing a coee, check that the On/O button
and beverage buttons are constantly lit and that
there is enough water in the tank.
Fig. 1 Fig. 2 Fig. 3
1- Place an espresso cup, coee cup or glass underneath the
coee dispensing spout as indicated in paragraph “Adjusting the
dispensing height”.
2- Lift the capsule compartment opening lever (Fig. 1).
3- Insert a capsule as shown in the gure (Fig. 2).
4- Lower the lever to close the capsule compartment (Fig. 3).
If the compartment does not close easily, check that
the capsule is correctly inserted and that the used
capsule drawer is not full.
5- Press the
button for a caè crema or the
coee.
6- Coee brewing stops automatically when the set level is
reached. However, it is possible to stop the dispensing process early by pressing the same button as the beverage being
dispensed.
7- Lift the lever to eject the used capsule into the used capsule
drawer.
8- Remove the cup or glass from the grille.
With every coee brewed a small amount of excess
water runs into the drip tray. Therefore, empty the
drip tray regularly.
(white) button for an espresso, the (yellow)
(blue) button for a lter
Never insert ngers or any other objects into the
capsule compartment. Single-portion capsules brew
a single coee. DO NOT use capsules more than once.
When preparing an espresso or caè crema, the machine
performs a prebrewing cycle. There is an audible pause in the
brewing process between the prebrewing and brewing cycles.
We recommend emptying the used capsule drawer
every day. Before inserting a capsule, make sure that
the used capsule drawer is not full.
Tip to get the best espresso from your Cassimo Latte:
If the machine has not been used for a while and/or
the cup is cold, place the cup below the spout and press the
espresso button without inserting a capsule. This will warm
up the cup and the machine. Then empty the cup and proceed
with the instructions from step 1 as follows.
If the machine stops during the brewing process and
the service indicator light slowly flashes orange,
there is no more water in the water tank. Proceed as follows:
ll the tank with water and push the button of the beverage
that was being dispensed. As soon as the desired quantity
has been reached, stop dispensing by pressing the beverage
button again.
Adjusting the coee quantity
Each capsule is portioned for one cup of lter coee, caè crema or
espresso and optimally adjusted regarding avour.
The machine allows you to adjust the amount of coee brewed
according to your taste and the size of your cup or glass.
Each time the espresso
buttons are pressed, the machine brews a preset amount of coee.

A step-by-step video explaining the descaling process can be found
at www.tchibo.de/cassimo-entkalkung.
The descaling process takes approx. 25 minutes and is split between
the descaling itself and a rinse cycle. Do not under any circumstance
interrupt or switch o the machine during either of these cycles.
Limescale builds up inside the machine during normal use. It needs
to be removed regularly as it may clog the water and coee circuit of
your machine. The machine automatically indicates when it needs
descaling when the service indicator light
lit.
Not doing this may ultimately make your machine
stop working properly, and in this case repairs are NOT
covered by your warranty.
We recommend using Saeco descaling solution (sold
separately), whose formula has been designed to
respect the technical specifications of the machine, thus
ensuring its continued service in the long term and for its safe
and risk-free use. The descaling solution is to be disposed of
according to the manufacturer’s instructions and/or the
regulations in force in the country of use. The Durgol descaling
solution also respects the technical specifications of the
machine.
