8. DISPENSING COFFEE
Place a cup under the dispenser, adjust the height of
the dispenser nozzle with the handle: turning it raises or
lowers the nozzles, as shown in Fig. 9.1.
When you want a double coffee, you can place two cups
under the dispenser at the same time.
The rest of the paragraph explains how to dispense
one coffee. The procedure is similar for double coffee,
stretched coffee and two stretched coffees.
Press the button for the selection you want (in Fig. 7.1 it
is espresso coffee).
Press the START/STOP button within 10 seconds of
your selection and wait for the coffee to be dispensed.
Dispensing ends automatically when the quantity of
coffee for the selection has been reached. This quantity
is preset in the machine but can be changed, see
paragraph 13.
You can stop dispensing at any time by pressing the
START/STOP button.
ATTENTION: if the START button is not
pressed within 10 seconds, the function is
disabled. If you wish to dispense a beverage,
you will have to repeat the procedure.
USEFUL TIPS FOR PREPARING AN
EXCELLENT ESPRESSO
• The dispensing time for an excellent espresso is
about 15-25 seconds. The factors that influence the
dispensing time are the fineness of the grind and the
quantity of ground coffee. If necessary, the fineness of
the grind and dose of ground coffee can be changed.
(See chapter 8, First use).
• Coffee is a hygroscopic substance, which means that
its characteristics are closely linked to the climate
(humidity). So, remember to grind the coffee coarser
when the air is very humid and finer when the air is
drier.
