12 11.4 Setting the Espresso / Coffee Flavor Dial 1. Turn the espresso / coffee flavor dial (Figure 9) to set the desired taste of your espresso/coffee from regular, strong to extra strong. 2. Turning the dial clockwise increases the quantity of coffee beans the machine will grind, and therefore makes the taste stronger. Note: When using the machine for the first time, the correct position for the dial can be found by trial and error. 3. Note: Make sure not to turn it too far clockwise, otherwise the espresso / coffee will be delivered too slowly (in drops) when preparing two cups of espresso / coffee. Figure 7 11.5 Espresso / Coffee Quantity 11.5A The Difference Between Espresso/Coffee Quantity • "Ristretto" (small/short) espresso: 1/2 oz. to 1 oz. of coffee • "Espresso": 1 oz. to 1.5 oz. of coffee • Large (long/double shot/American coffee): 5 oz. to 8 oz. of coffee Note: It is recommended to add a bit of sugar to "ristretto" or "espresso" coffee. Drink the large (American coffee) black or add sugar and milk if you prefer. Tip: If you add sugar and milk to your cup before you brew your espresso/coffee it will be dissolved more uniformly. Tip: If you set the espresso / coffee quantity dial to maximum and push the 2-cup button, the machine will prepare a 12 oz. coffee. The average coffee drinker may find this to be too mild, so adjust the volume accordingly. Figure 8 Figure 9 11.5B Setting the Espresso / Coffee Quantity 1. Turn the coffee quantity dial (Figure 10) to set the amount of espresso/coffee desired. 2. Turning the dial clockwise makes a longer coffee. Note: When using the machine for the first time, the correct position for the dial can be found by trial and error. Figure 10 12: Preparing the Espresso / Coffee Please follow the instructions below. You can make any quantity of espresso/coffee from 1/2 oz. to 12 oz. Note: The process is always the same: water is forced through the coffee in a very short time period to avoid over-extraction, for perfect espresso / coffee every time. Caution: Never switch the machine on when the water tank is completely empty. Without water, the machine cannot make espresso / coffee and the machine will become noisy. Before preparing the espresso / coffee, make sure you have done the following: • Followed all of the instructions listed under Section 11 of the manual ("Preparing the Machine"). • The water tank and either the bean container or ground coffee container is full. • If using for first time, followed all of the instructions listed under section 11 of the manual. • The machine is on a flat, level surface away from any edge. • The machine is plugged into a 120V / 60Hz only outlet.
