To ensure that the fine foam frother always works properly, you
must clean it daily when you have been preparing milk (see
chapter 7 'Maintenance – Cleaning the milk system').
For the Americano and lungo, the E8 blends the coffee with hot
water using a special preparation method. This results in a full-
bodied specialty coffee which is particularly easy to digest. You
can change the amount of this additional water (see chapter 4
'Preparation – Adjusting the product settings').
'Doppio' is Italian for 'double'. When you select Espresso doppio,
two espressi are prepared one after the other. The result is an extra
full-bodied and aromatic specialty coffee.
You can choose to use a second coffee variety, for example
decaffeinated coffee, with the filter funnel for ground coffee.
Basic information about ground coffee:
U
Never add more than two level measuring spoons of ground
coffee.
U
Use ground coffee which is not ground too finely. Very fine
coffee can block up the system so that the coffee only comes
out in drips.
U
If you did not fill the machine with a sufficient amount of
ground coffee,
'Not enough ground coffee'
E8 stops the operation.
U
The desired specialty coffee must be prepared within
approximately one minute after filling with the ground coffee.
Otherwise the E8 stops the operation and is once more ready
for use.
U
All specialty coffees with ground coffee are always prepared
following the same model.
Example: Proceed as follows to prepare one espresso using ground
coffee.
Place an espresso cup under the coffee spout.
