The HIBREW machine is compatible with three types of coffee formats. Use the appropriate capsule holder for each type:

• DG* Capsules: Insert the DG* capsule holder and place the capsule inside.
• Ground Coffee: Insert the ground coffee holder. Fill it with your desired amount of ground coffee. Important: Do not use excessively fine coffee powder, as this may cause clogging.

The machine has preset brew volumes, but you can customize them to your preference:

• To Program: With the machine on and ready, press and hold either the small cup or lungo cup button. The machine will start brewing. Release the button when your desired volume is reached. The machine will remember this setting for future brews using that button.
