Preparing Cappuccino; Heating A Beverage; Preparing Tea, Camomile, Etc; Adjustments And Settings Of The Dose - Rancilio EPOCA E Uso Y Manutención

If the coffee is ground too coardsely the coffee will be
pale in colour and weak in flavour, with only a very small
amount of white cream, and if the grounds are too fine,
the coffee will be dark with no cream. Good coffee can
only be made if the beans are freshly and uniformly
ground (only possible when the blades of the coffee
grinder are sharp) and are then measured out into the
correct quantities (roughly 6 grams per measure). For
a correct use, set the boiler at 1 bar.
The importance of freshly ground coffee beans is due to
the fact that once ground, they rapidly lose their aroma-
tic qualities, and fats present in the beans go rancid.
8.2. Preparing cappuccino (Fig.8)
● Make cup of cappuccino with the express coffee.
● Use a high and narrow jug, half-filled with milk.
● Place the jug under the spout so that the nozzle
touches the bottom.
● Turn on the steam tap and lower the jug so that the
nozzle is almost at the surface of the milk,causing
it to froth.
● Turn off the steam tap and pour the milk into the
cup.
Immediately after carrying out this operation,
clean the spout with a sponge or a clean
cloth so that the milk does not dry on it. Be
careful as the spout is hot and may burn
your hand.

8.3. Heating a beverage

● Immerse the steam spout into the liquid to be
heated.
● Gradually turn on the steam tap 6 Fig.7; the steam
that bursts in the liquid heats it to the desired tem-
perature.
● Turn off the steam tap when the desired tempera-
ture has been reached.
Immediately after carrying out this operation,
clean the spout with a sponge or clean cloth.
Be careful as the spout is hot and may burn
your hand.

8.4. Preparing tea, camomile, etc.

● Place the jug under the hot water spout and turn
the water tap 5 (Fig.7). When the desired quantity
has been obtained, turn off the tap.
● Add the beverage desired.
When purified water is used, these beverages often
assume a darker colour.
Should the user prefer a lighter coloured drink, draw
fresh water from an ordinary tap and proceed with
the heating phase as described in point 8.3.

9. ADJUSTMENT AND SETTING OF THE
DOSE (where available)
9.1. Models E
It is possible to adjust the dose of coffee dispensed
E models.

9.1.1. Adjusting the dose

The coffee dose adjustments are made by acting
on the group keyboads with machine at rated pres-
sure.
1 Press the button E on any button panel and hold
it down for 8-10 seconds until water stops flowing
from the dispensing unit and the led of the conti-
nuons button on the first button panel on the left
begins flashing.
2 It is necessary to act as to make 1 or 2 cups in or-
der to reach the correct coffee amount adjustment
in the cup.
3 Put the filter-holder (with ground coffee) on the left
unit and the cup under the spout.
4 Operate the selected button (i.e. button A for one
small cup).
5 One the required coffee amount in the cup has
been reached, press the stop button E. Coffe will
stop pouring and the microprocessor will store the
dose.
6 Press the continuous button E again; the led will go
out and the machine will store the new quantity.
7 Make the coffee and check the cup amount in order
to check that programming is correct.
If some doses have to be changed (B-C-D), once
at point 5 repeat the instructions in points 3-4-5 for
each dose, remembering to use the filter-holder with
relevant filter and freshly ground coffee.
Then carry out point 6 and repeat point 7 to check
all changed doses.
If all units are to be programmed with the same doses,
the selection of coffee doses is finished. If the dosage
of another unit is to be changed (1-2-3-4 doses), pro-
ceed as indicated in the above-mentioned point 1-7,
using only the button panel of the selected unit.
