Prewarming cups
Adjust the dispenser height
All beverages should be made in a
warm cup, to develop the aroma. The
smaller the amount of coffee or
espresso and the thicker the cups, the
more important it is to prewarm the
cups.
Depending on the cup height, the
coffee dispensers can be adjusted so
that the coffee and espresso have a
shorter distance to the cup, do not cool
and have a better crema.

Preparing two cups at the same time
When using ground coffee, only one
portion at a time can be prepared. The
unit uses the whole portion of ground
coffee which was filled in the funnel to
prepare one drink.

Making coffee
Cappuccino and milk froth
When using for the first time or using
after descaling
The lines were completely drained
before the unit left the factory. They will
also be drained when the machine is
descaled. Before preparing
cappuccino or froth, the lines must be
filled with water.
^ Set a cup under the cappuccino
dispenser.
^ Select "Milk froth".
The intake hose takes in water from the
tank and fills the lines with water. A
small amount of water runs from the
froth dispenser.
Prompts to clean the froth dispenser

^ Confirm by selecting "OK".
^ Once the machine stops, select "Milk
froth" again.
The froth dispenser dispenses steam
and the lines are filled with water.
^ Select "Clear" to get back to the main
menu.
The coffee system is ready to use.
16
Making coffee
Cappuccino
Milk froth
To prepare a cappuccino you need a
large ceramic or porcelain cup and a
small mug (supplied) of milk.
If you need additional milk froth,
prepare cold skim milk in a stainless
steel mug which narrows towards the
top.
The best milk froth is achieved with
cold milk.
^ Set the supplied glass mug with milk
under the intake hose and the
stainless steel mug under the froth
dispenser.
Only one cup of cappuccino can be
prepared at a time because of the
milk frothing process.
^ Select "Milk froth".
The milk is frothed into the stainless
steel mug.
^ Select "Stop" to cancel the milk
frothing.
After preparing milk froth and
cappuccino
Clean the froth dispenser and intake
hose immediately after use. If the milk is
allowed to dry, the parts may get
clogged and difficult to clean. See
"Cleaning and Care".
^ Set the mug of milk under the intake
hose and the cup under the froth
dispenser.
^ Select "Cappuccino".
The milk is frothed into the cup. At the
same time the beans are ground.
Select "Stop" to cancel the milk frothing.
^ Once the milk is frothed, set the
cappuccino cup under both
dispensers and select "OK".
The cappuccino will be prepared.
^ Select "Stop" when enough espresso
has been prepared.
17
Adjusting the coffee grinder
The finer the coffee beans are ground
determines the strength of the coffee
and the quality of the crema.
To adjust the grinder setting
To prevent machine damage adjust
the coffee grinder one notch at a
time and let the beans grind before
adjusting another notch. Otherwise
the machine will be damaged.
^ Push the slide control to the left for a
finer grind or to the right for a coarser
grind.
The grinder should be adjusted:
You should be able to feel the notches
when moving the slide control.
– If the espresso flows too quickly into
the cup, the pressure cannot be built
up because the beans have been
ground too coarsely. The grinder
should be adjusted to a finer setting.
If the slide control will not move:
^ Close the machine and dispense a
cup of coffee.
– If the espresso only trickles into the
cup, the beans have been ground
too fine and the coffee will be bitter.
The grinder should be adjusted to a
coarser setting.
Then try to move the slide control
again.
– If the crema is evenly colored but
pale, the ground coffee is too
coarse.
– If the crema is very dark brown on
one side, graduating almost to white
on the other, the ground coffee is too
fine.

To set the correct water hardness:
The hardness of the water used in the

water hardness will determine how
frequently the unit must be descaled to
maintain the coffee system properly.
The machine monitors the volume of
water passing through it in conjunction

^ Select "Descaling" and then "OK".
The display prompts the user through
the single steps of the descaling
process. Follow the prompts.
Select "Descaling" to start the descaling
immediately. The descaling takes about
20 minutes. If you want to continue at a
later point in time, turn the unit off. The
appliance can only be used again once
descaling is performed.
If the descaling is started while the
machine is still hot, the appliance
will cool down for 10 minutes before
the descaling begins.
Only use the enclosed descaling
tablets for descaling. They are
specially developed for the coffee
system to optimize the descaling.
The descaling tablets can be
purchased from Miele.
