How to use

Fill the removable 1.8 L water tank with fresh water and add coffee beans to the 270 g bean container or select the ground coffee option according to the user interface prompts. Use the TFT display to choose drink type, intensity and cup size. Position cups under the dual spouts and start the selected programme. After brewing, remove and empty the drip tray and follow the machine prompts for descaling or cleaning cycles as required.

Usage recommendations

Use medium-fine ground coffee for best extraction when the ground option is selected, and keep the bean container filled with quality whole beans for the integrated grinder. Regular descaling and cleaning of the brew unit, drip tray and water tank will maintain performance. For frequent two-cup preparation, ensure both spouts and the cup platform are free from residue to preserve consistent flow.
