Measuring and programming water hardness
Measuring water hardness is very important for de ning the frequency in
which the machine has to be descaled and to install the “INTENZA+” water
lter (for more detail on the water lter see next chapter).
To measure the water hardness follow the steps below:
1 Immerse the water hardness test strip provided with the machine in
water for 1 second.
Note:
The test strip can only be used for one measurement.
2 Wait for one minute.
14
ENGLISH
3 Check how many squares have changed the colour to red and then
consult the table.
Note:
The numbers on the water hardness test strip correspond to the water
hardness adjustment settings.
More precisely:
1 = 1 (very soft water)
2 = 2 (soft water)
3 = 3 (hard water)
4 = 4 (very hard water)
The letters correspond to the references that are located at the base of the
“INTENZA+” water lter (see next chapter for this).

“INTENZA+” water lter installation
We recommend you to install the “INTENZA+” water lter as this prevents
lime scale to build up in your machine and preserves a more intense aroma
to your espresso co ee.
You can purchase separately the INTENZA+ water lter. Please refer to the
ordering maintenance products chapter in this user manual for further
details.
Water is a crucial part of every espresso, so it’s most important to always
have it professionally ltered. Using the “INTENZA+” water lter will prevent
mineral deposits from building up and improve your water quality.
1 Remove the small white lter from the water tank and store it in a dry
place.
2 Remove the “INTENZA+” water lter from its packaging, immerse it ver-
tically (with the opening positioned upwards) in cold water and gently
press the sides so as to let the air bubbles out.
3 Set the lter according to the measurements performed (see previous
chapter) and indicated on the base of the lter:
A = Soft water – equals 1 or 2 on the test strip
B = Hard water (standard) – equals 3 on the test strip
C = Very hard water – equals 4 on the test strip
4 Put the lter into the empty water tank. Press it until it cannot move
further down.

ADJUSTMENTS
The machine allows for certain adjustments so that you can brew the best
tasting co ee possible.
Saeco Adapting System
Co ee is a natural product and its characteristics may change according to
its origin, blend and roast. The machine is equipped with a self-adjusting
system that allows the use of all types of co ee beans available on the
market (not for caramelized beans).
The machine automatically adjusts itself after brewing several cups of
co ee to optimize the extraction of the co ee to the compactness of the
ground co ee.
Adjusting the ceramic co ee grinder
Ceramic co ee grinders always guarantee accurate grinding for every
co ee blend and prevent the beans from overheating.
This provides for full aroma preservation, delivering the truly Italian taste in
every cup.
Warning:
The ceramic co ee grinder contains moving parts that may be dange-
rous. Therefore, do not insert ngers and/or other objects. Turn o the
machine by pressing the ON/OFF button and remove the plug from
the socket before carrying out any type of operation inside the co ee
bean hopper.
You can adjust the ceramic grinders to set the co ee grinding to your
personal taste.
Warning:
The grinder adjustment knob, inside the co ee bean hopper, must be
turned only when the ceramic co ee grinder is working.
This adjustment can be carried out by pressing and turning the grinder
adjustment knob inside the co ee bean hopper.
1 Open the lid of the co ee bean hopper.
19
ENGLISH
19
2 Press and turn the grinder adjustment knob one notch at a time. You
will taste the di erence after brewing 2-3 cups of espresso.
3 The reference marks on the co ee bean hopper lid indicate the grind
setting. There are 8 di erent grind settings to choose from:
- Very coarse grind ( ) : lighter taste, for dark roasted co ee blends
To
- Very ne grind ( ) : bolder taste, for light roasted co ee blends
When you adjust the ceramic co ee grinder to a ner setting, your co ee
will taste stronger. For a milder co ee taste, adjust the ceramic co ee
grinder to a coarser setting.
Adjusting co ee crema and intensity (Saeco Brewing System)
The Saeco Brewing System (SBS) allows you to control the co ee crema
and taste intensity by adjusting the co ee ow speed during the brewing
cycle.
- By turning the dial knob counter clock wise you increase the ow
speed resulting in a milder co ee intensity and less crema.
- By turning the dial knob clock wise you reduce the ow speed resul-
ting in a stronger co ee intensity and more crema.
Note:
The co ee ow speed may be adjusted while brewing.
20
ENGLISH
Adjusting the dispensing spout
The height of the dispensing spout can be adjusted to better t the
dimensions of the cups that you wish to use.
Move the dispensing spout up or down with your ngers to adjust its
height as shown in the image.
Adjusting the aroma (co ee strength)
Choose your favorite co ee blend and adjust the amount of co ee to be
grounded until they meet your personal taste. You can also select the pre-
ground co ee function.
Note:
Selection must be made prior to selecting co ee.
The machine allows you to adjust the right quantity of ground co ee for
each product. The standard adjustment for each product can be set in the
“BEVERAGE MENU” (see the Beverage Programming chapter, Co ee Quanti-
ty option).
1 To temporarily change the amount of co ee ground, press the “ ”
button on the control panel.
