The irresistible taste and aroma of coffee from fresh beans is just one touch away. Our intuitive touch display allows you to easily select your favorite coffee.

My Coffee Choice
Adjust the strength and quantity of your beverage with the My Coffee Choice menu. Easily choose from three different settings to suit your preferences.

12-step grinder adjustment
Our durable ceramic grinders can be adjusted in 12 steps, so you can turn your beans into anything from ultra-fine powder to coarse grindings.

Perfect temperature and aroma
The Aroma Extract system intelligently strikes the optimum balance between brewing temperature and aroma extraction by keeping the water temperature between 90 and 98°C, while regulating the water flow rate, so you can enjoy delicious coffees.

100% ceramic grinders
Our grinders are 100% pure ceramic: extremely hard and precise, so you can enjoy fresh aromatic coffee, for at least 20.000 cups.

AquaClean filter
Our patented innovation, AquaClean water filter, ensures you make the most out of your fully automatic coffee machine. By changing the filter at machine request, you will not need to descale your machine for up to 5000 cups, while enjoing clear and purified water. Once AquaClean is installed in your coffee machine, the descaling notification alarm is automatically deactivated.

Removable brew group
The brew group is the heart of every fully automatic coffee machine, and should be cleaned regularly. The removable brew group allows you to clean it thoroughly just by rinsing it under the tap.

Automatic descaling alarm
It’s easy to clean and maintain your coffee machine with the automatic program which notifies when you have to descale it. You can adjust the frequency of this procedure to match the water hardness at home.

How to use

Fill the 1.8 L water tank and add coffee beans to the 275 g bean container. Use the touch display to select a beverage and adjust strength and cup size via My Coffee Choice. For milk drinks, use the classic milk frother to steam and froth milk. Clean the removable brew group regularly by rinsing under running water and replace the AquaClean filter when prompted to minimise descaling. Follow on-screen maintenance prompts for automatic descaling cycles.

Recommendations

Use filtered water and install the AquaClean filter to extend the interval between descaling procedures (up to 5,000 cups as indicated). Clean the removable brew group weekly and descale only when the machine prompts if AquaClean is installed. For best aroma, adjust grinder setting gradually to achieve the preferred grind size and use fresh beans.
