4.5 Step 3 - Delivery of Espresso Cool
When preparing Espresso Cool, use the dedicated filters (C4) or
(C5) provided for this drink (fig.21).
Prepare the "perfect dose" as described in "4.1 Step 1 - Grinding"
and "Adjusting the quantity of ground coffee in the filter".
Then proceed as follows:
1. Select Espresso Cool (fig. 22): the OK indicator (B6) turns
blue to show that a cold drink has been selected.
2. Place 2 or 3 ice cubes in the glass (fig. 23).
3. Press OK to begin delivery. Delivery will stop automatically.
Please note:
• Cold Extraction Technology: to ensure best possible re-
sults when preparing Cold Brew drinks, fill the water tank
with fresh drinking water.
5. MAKING MILK-BASED DRINKS
5.1 Frothing the milk
1. Fill the carafe (C11) with a suitable quantity of fresh milk
straight from the fridge. Bear in mind the milk will double
or triple in volume (fig. 24). For a denser and more evenly
distributed froth, best results will be achieved using whole
cow's milk at refrigerator temperature (about 5 °C).
2. To froth the milk, bring the tip of the steam wand (A7) into
contact with the surface of the liquid and turn the steam
dial (A5): this causes air to mix with the milk and steam.
3. Keep the steam wand nozzle on the surface, taking care not
to let in too much air and create unsuitably large bubbles.
4. Immerse the steam wand nozzle just beneath the surface
of the milk: this will create a vortex in the liquid. Once the
milk is heated to the desired temperature, turn off the
steam and wait for the flow to stop completely before re-
moving the milk carafe from the machine.
Barista tips:
• Fresh milk is best. Always use fresh milk straight from
the fridge.
• For best results, always return the milk carafe to the fridge
when not in use.
• Whole milk ensures optimum results. The appearance and
texture of froth depend on the nature of the dairy milk or
vegetable drinks used.
• After frothing the milk, get rid of unwanted bubbles by
swirling the carafe gently.
Cleaning the steam wand:
1. Following use, always wipe the steam wand (fig. 25) with
a cloth to remove residual deposits of milk. For a thorough
cleaning, we recommend using Eco MultiClean: this prod-
uct ensures maximum hygiene by removing milk proteins
and fats, and can be used to clean the entire machine.
2. Release steam for a few seconds to clean the wand (fig. 9).
3. Wait until the steam wand has cooled down. To ensure the
wand works efficiently over time, use the special cleaning
tool (C12) to free the holes (fig. 26) of any obstruction.
6. PROGRAMMING DRINK QUANTITIES
1. Prepare the machine for brewing 1 or 2 cups of your desired
beverage, by attaching the portafilter (C1) complete with
the 1-cup or 2-cup filter and ground coffee.
2. Turn the dial (B8) to select the drink being programmed.
3. Press the 1-cup or 2-cup button "1x" (B2) or "2x" (B3) and
hold for at least 3 seconds, until the indicator for the select-
ed drink starts blinking to confirm that the machine is in
programming mode. (To exit programming mode without
making changes, press and hold the same button or wait
for 30 seconds).
4. Press the OK button (B6). The OK indicator will now blink
and the machine starts delivering the drink.
5. When the desired quantity has been reached, press the OK
button again: the quantity is programmed.
Please note:
• Drinks can be programmed, but the delivery of steam and hot
water can not.
• Programming changes the quantity of drinks delivered, but
not of ground coffee.
• When a programmed drink is selected, the corresponding in-
dicator blinks briefly.
• After 30 seconds of inactivity, the machine will automatically
exit the programming mode.
