Before you make your first coffee...
Check your Milk Carafe:
Make sure the tube is well connected and carafe is filled to the right level, the sensor will detect if there is milk available.
Run a Clean Cycle:
If you’re a milk coffee drinker, attach the carafe and press the clean cycle before and after every coffee (this also helps to get warmer milk).
Adjust Coffee Strength:
The three bean icons indicate the coffee dose, select 1, 2 or 3 beans to change how strong your coffee is.

CUSTOMISING YOUR COFFEE
To achieve a barista style coffee, we use the Cappuccino setting, you can also program this to suit your taste, and your favourite cup! Here’s how:
- Press the “Cappuccino” button and hold until it changes from flashing slow to flashing fast (about 3 seconds)
- Coffee will start pouring automatically, press the “Cappuccino” button again to stop when you are happy with it. You may want to taste a few options to get there!
- Milk will start pouring automatically (it takes a few seconds to start), press the “Cappuccino” button again to stop milk at the desired level
- Your custom drink is now saved! Next time you make a coffee with the “Cappuccino” setting, it will brew to your preference.
