Place a cup under the adjustable spout and start preparation; the machine can brew one or two cups simultaneously. For milk-based drinks attach the automatic milk tank, select the desired beverage and the machine will froth and dispense milk automatically. Use the preheating cup function for improved temperature stability when required.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use fresh whole beans and the water filter supplied to reduce scale build-up. Regularly run the milk-system cleaning program and the self-cleaning/rinsing cycles as indicated in the manual. Choose a coarser grind for longer extractions and a finer grind for stronger espresso; adjust spout height for cup size and clean removable parts in the dishwasher where indicated to maintain performance and hygiene.
