Operating Instructions

Making Espresso:

1. Ensure the water tank is filled and the bean hopper contains coffee beans.
2. Place a cup under the coffee spout. Adjust the spout height to fit your cup and prevent splashing.
3. Press the 'Espresso' button. The machine will grind the beans, pre-brew, and dispense the coffee.
4. The 100% ceramic grinders ensure a consistent grind without overheating, preserving the coffee's aroma.

Making Cappuccino:

1. Fill the milk carafe with fresh milk. Attach it to the machine.
2. Place a cup under the coffee and milk spouts.
3. Press the 'Cappuccino' button. The machine will automatically froth the milk and then dispense the espresso.

Customizing Your Coffee:

• Coffee Strength: Use the control panel to adjust the coffee strength (e.g., mild, medium, strong) before brewing.
• Coffee Length (Volume): The innovative memo function allows you to save your preferred coffee length. Brew your desired amount, then press and hold the button to save the setting.
• Grind Fineness: The machine features 5 adjustable grinder settings. Turn the knob inside the bean hopper to select a finer grind for a full-bodied espresso or a coarser grind for a lighter coffee. Adjust only when the grinder is operating.
• Temperature: Adjust the brewing temperature through the machine's menu settings to suit your taste.

Maintenance

Regular cleaning and maintenance are crucial for the longevity and optimal performance of your espresso machine.

• Daily Cleaning:
  • Empty and rinse the drip tray and coffee grounds container daily.
  • Rinse the milk carafe after each use. The milk carafe is dishwasher-safe for convenient cleaning.
  • Wipe the exterior of the machine with a damp cloth.
• Brewing Group: The brewing group is removable for easy cleaning. Rinse it under lukewarm running water at least once a week. Allow it to air dry before reinserting.
• Automatic Cleaning Cycle: The machine features an automatic cleaning cycle. Follow the prompts on the display for regular cleaning.
• Descaling: The machine will indicate when descaling is required. Use a Saeco-approved descaling solution and follow the on-screen instructions carefully. Regular descaling prevents limescale buildup and ensures optimal performance.
