• 12 •

The machine is adjusted to 

brew a true Italian espresso 

coffee. This feature may slightly 

lengthen the brewing time, allowing 

the intense flavor of the coffee to 

develop fully.

Using Pre-Ground Coff ee

This function allows using 

pre-ground and decaffein-

ated coff ee.

Pre-ground coffee must be poured into 

the bypass doser positioned next to 

the coffee bean hopper. Only use coffee 

ground for espresso machines and never 

coff ee beans or instant coff ee. 

Note: 

•  If no pre-ground coff ee is poured 

into the bypass doser, only water 

will be dispensed;

•  If the dose is excessive and 2 or 

more measuring scoops of coff ee 

are used, the machine will not 

brew the product. In this case, the 

machine will run an empty cycle 

and discharge any ground coff ee 

into the dregdrawer.

To brew coff ee:

•  Press and release the “

“ button to 

select the pre-ground coff ee function.

•  Lift the pre-ground bypass doser 

cover.

•  Add only 1 scoop of pre-ground coff ee 

to the compartment. Use the measur-

ing scoop supplied with the machine to 

perform this operation. Then, close the 

cover.

” button for an espresso cof-

fee;

to come out of the dispensing head.

  After dispensing the product, the ma-

chine defaults back to the whole coff ee 

bean confi guration.

Repeat the operations de-

scribed above to brew other 

coff ees.
