7.4 Making drip coffee
•
Open the filter-holder door, rotating it towards the right
(fig. 7).
•
Fill the carafe to the level indicator relative to number of
cups of coffee you wish to prepare, taking care not to ex-
ceed the MAX level of 10 cups (fig. 8), otherwise, in order
to not overfill the machine, the excess water will spill out
from the back of the unit.
•
Then pour the water into the water-fill compartment of the
machine (fig. 9).
•
Position the gold tone filter into the filter-holder (fig. 10).
•
Put the ground coffee in the filter using the measuring
spoon supplied and level it off evenly (fig. 11). As a gener-
al rule, use a level measure of coffee (approx 7 grams) for
every cup of coffee required (for example, 10 measures to
obtain 10 cups).
•
Close the filter-holder door and place the carafe, with cover
in place, onto the warming plate.
•
Press the "Coffee ON/OFF" button. The button illumin-
mates to indicate that the drip coffee-maker is brewing.
•
The coffee will begin to dispense after a short time.
It is perfectly normal for the machine to emit steam while the
coffee is percolating.
To keep the coffee hot after the unit is finished percolating it will
automatically switch to keep warm for up to the selected time.
•
To turn off the machine press the "Coffee ON/OFF" button.
Please note: At the end of coffee dispensing the appliance
emits a beep.
7.5 "BOLD" function
The Bold function enhances the flavor of your coffee. This fea-
ture activates a unique brewing process, slowly releasing water
into the filter basket; saturating coffee grounds a little at a time
extracting the best flavor and aroma from your coffee.
To activate, press the "BOLD" button after having pressed the
"Coffee ON/OFF" button (fig. 6); the button will illuminate. Press
the button again to turn the selection off.
This function is recomended when preparing 1 to 4 cups. Do not
use this button if brewing an entire carafe of coffee.
You can select this function even when using the auto function
(see paragraph 7.2).
If you want to activate the bold function for delayed brewing,
after you program the timer you need to activate the bold func-
tion by pressing the button.
8. ESPRESSO
8.1 Preheating the espresso unit
To make espresso coffee at the right temperature, the coffee
maker should be preheated as follows:
1. Press the "Espresso ON/OFF"button (fig. 12) to turn the ma-
chine on. The integrated light flashes to indicate that the
machine is heating up.
2. Insert the filter to the portafilter (fig. 13). Attach the por-
tafilter with filter to the machine (fig. 14) without adding
pre-ground coffee.
2. Place a cup under the portafilter. Use the same cup that
will be used to prepare the coffee in order to preheat it.
3. Wait until the "Espresso ON/OFF" integrated light stops
flashing: now the machine is ready to make espresso.
4. Press the
button (fig. 15). Continue delivering wa-
ter until you fill the cup and then interrupt the delivery by
pressing the same button and empty the cup.
Please note:
•
It is normal for a small and harmless puff of steam to be
given off when removing the portafilter.
•
Never operate the appliance without water in the tank or
without the tank.
8.2 How to make espresso using pre-ground
coffee
1. Preheat the machine and portafilter as described in the
previous paragraph.
2. Place the ground coffee filter in the portafilter To make
one espresso, use the filter with the
the bottom, to make two espressos, use the filter with the
symbol on the bottom.
3. To make just one espresso, place one level measure with
the scoop provided of pre-ground coffee (about 7 g/0,25
oz) in the filter (fig. 16). To make two espressos, place two
level measured scoops with the scoop provided.
Important:
For correct operation, before filling with pre-ground coffee,
make sure there are no coffee residues left in the filter from the
last time you made coffee.
4. Distribute the pre-ground coffee evenly and press with the
tamper (fig. 17).
Correct pressing of the pre-ground coffee is essential to
obtain a good espresso. If pressing is excessive, coffee deli-
very will be slow and the crema will be dark. If pressing is
too light, coffee delivery will be too fast and the crema will
be weak and light in color.
5. Remove any excess coffee from the rim of the portafilter
and attach to the machine. Turn as far as it will go (fig. 14)
to avoid water leaking out.
6. Place the cup or cups under the portafilter spouts (fig. 18).
You are recommended to warm the cups before making
coffee by rinsing them with a hot water.
7. Make sure the "Espresso ON/OFF" integrated light is solid (if
