DRIP TRAY HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
Adjust the drip tray to the appropriate cup size before selecting the beverage.
To raise the drip tray, press lightly on the lower part of the button. To lower the drip tray, press lightly on the upper part of the button. When the desired height is reached, release the button.
SAECO ADAPTING SYSTEM
Coffee is a natural product and its characteristics may change according to its origin, blend and roast. The Saeco coffee machine is equipped with a self-adjusting system that allows the use of all types of coffee beans available on the market (not including flavored or carmelized).
•The machine automatically adjusts itself in order to optimize the extraction of the coffee, ensuring perfect compression of the beans to obtain a creamy espresso coffee that is able to release all the aromas, regardless of the type of coffee used.
•The optimization process is a learning process that requires the brewing of a certain number of coffees to allow the machine to adjust the compactness of the ground coffee.
•Attention should be given to special blends, which require grinder adjustments in order to optimize the extraction of the coffee (see page 11).
