6 TIPS FOR CHOOSING COFFEE
As a general rule any type of co ee available on the market can
be used. However, co ee is a natural product and its  avour
changes according to its origin and blend; it is therefore a good
idea to try di erent types of co ee in order to  nd the most
suited to your personal taste.
For optimal results, however, we recommend using espresso
machine blends. As a rule, Co ee should always come out of the
porta lter without any dripping.
The speed of co ee dispensing can be modi ed by slightly
changing the amount of co ee in the  lter and/or by using a
d i  e r e n t c o  e e g r i n d .
Saeco recommends using single-dose co ee pods marked ESE
for a tasty co ee and easier cleaning and preparing.
BEFORE USING THE HOT WATER/STEAM JET, MAKE
SURE THAT THE STEAM SPOUT (PANNARELLO) IS
POSITIONED OVER THE DRIP TRAY.

Danger of scalding! When brewing starts, spurts
of hot water may come out. The spout can reach
high temperatures: do not touch it with bare hands.
• (Fig.3) - Press the ON/OFF button (2).
• Wait until the "machine ready" light (15) turns on. The ma-
chine is now ready.
• (Fig.18) - Place a container or a teacup under the steam
spout (Pannarello).
• (Fig.5) - Open the knob (4).
• (Fig.6) - Switch the selection knob to the "
" position
(17).
• When the desired quantity of hot water has been dispensed,
set the selection knob (17) to the "

of hot water may come out. The spout can reach
high temperatures: do not touch it with bare hands.
• (Fig.3) - Press the ON/OFF button (2).
• Wait until the "machine ready" (15) light turns on.

• (Fig.18) - Place a container under the steam spout.
• (Fig.5) - Open the knob (4) for a few seconds, so that re-
maining water  ows out of the steam spout (Pannarello). In
a short time only steam will come out.
• Close the knob (4) and remove the container.
• Fill 1/3 of the container you wish to use to prepare your cap-
puccino with cold milk.
Use cold milk to get a better result.
• (Fig.20) - Immerse the steam spout in the milk and open the
knob (4) by turning it anticlockwise. Turn the milk container
with slow upward movements so that it warms up evenly.
A maximum steam brewing of 60 seconds is rec-
ommended.
• When brewing ends, close the knob (4) and remove the cup
with the frothed milk.

If both lights are on and the machine has reached a too high
temperature to brew co ee, prime the circuit as described in
section 4.5 to make the machine ready for use.
Note: The machine is ready when the "machine
ready" light (15) is permanently on.
Note: If brewing a cappuccino as described is not
possible, prime the circuit as explained in Sec-
tion.5, then repeat the procedure.
The same procedure can be used to heat other
beverages.
• After this operation, clean the steam spout with a wet cloth.
