First installation
Note:
This machine has been tested with coffee. Although properly cleaned, it may
show residues of said substance. In any case, we can guarantee that the
machine is brand new. Remove the machine from the packaging.
For best use, we recommend to:
- choose a safe and level surface, where there will be no danger of overturning the machine or being injured;
- choose a location that is sufficiently lit, clean and near an easily reachable socket;
- allow for a minimum distance from the machine sides as shown in the figure.
Remove the water tank, rinse it and fill it with running water up to the MAX
level. Make sure that the water tank is fully inserted into the compartment.
Lift the coffee bean container lid and the aroma lid. Pour the coffee beans
and place back both lids. Insert the plug into the outlet located on the back
of the machine and the other end of the power cord into a wall socket with
suitable power voltage.
Switch the power button to “I”.
Place a container under the coffee dispensing spout and the classic pannarello
or steam wand (depending on the model). The standby button will blink. Press
the button to switch on the machine. Press the OK button to start the circuit
priming. The machine will start dispensing hot water from the classic
pannarello or steam wand (depending on the model). The bar under the icon
shows the operation progress status. When the operation is complete, the
machine stops dispensing automatically and starts warming up, before starting
the automatic rinse cycle.
Measuring water hardness
Use the supplied strip for measuring water hardness.
- Immerse the provided strip into running water for 1 second.
- Remove the strip from water and wait for 1 minute.
- Count the number of small squares which have turned red and compare the result to the following table.
Number of small red squares| Value to set| Water hardness| INTENZA+
---|---|---|---
| 1| very soft water| A
| 2| soft water| A
| 3| hard water| B
| 4| very hard water| C - Press the MENU button, and scroll until selecting the water hardness. Select the preferred water hardness setting and press the OK button in order to confirm.
“INTENZA+” Water Filter
We recommend that you install the “INTENZA+” water filter as this prevents
limescale build-up in your machine and preserves a more intense aroma to your
coffee. The “INTENZA+” water filter can be purchased separately. Water is a
crucial part of every coffee, so it is very important to always have it
professionally filtered. Using the “INTENZA+” water filter will prevent
mineral deposits from building up and improve your water quality.
“INTENZA+” Water Filter Installation
Immerse the “INTENZA+” water filter vertically in cold water (with the opening
in upward position) and gently press its sides to let the air bubbles out.
Set
the “INTENZA+” water filter according to the measurements performed (see
“Measuring the water hardness”) and indicated on the base of the filter:
- A = soft water – equals 1 or 2 small squares
- B = hard water (standard) – equals 3 small squares
- C = very hard water – equals 4 small squares
Insert
the “INTENZA +” water filter in the empty water tank and push it down to the
lowest point. Fill the water tank with running water and put it back into the
machine.
Dispense all the water in the water tank by using the hot water function (see
the “Dispensing Hot Water” chapter). Then, fill the tank again.
- Press the MENU button and scroll until selecting the water filter. Press the OK button.
- Select ON, then press OK and exit from the menu.
Replacing the “INTENZA+” Water Filter
When the “INTENZA+” water filter needs to be replaced, the filter icon is
displayed. Replace the water filter by scrolling the menu until selecting the
water filter as described in the “INTENZA+ Filter Installation” chapter.
Select RESET and confirm with the OK button. The machine is now programmed to
manage a new “INTENZA+” water filter.

Brewing coffee
Brewing coffee with beans
Warning: use only coffee beans for espresso preparation. Do not use ground
coffee, unroasted coffee, freeze-dried coffee or instant coffee in the coffee
bean container, as they may damage the machine.
Note:
using the aroma lid helps keeping the beans fresh.
-
Place 1 or 2 cups under the coffee dispensing spout by manually lifting or lowering the coffee dispensing spout to adjust its height depending on the size of the cups.
-
To brew a coffee, press the espresso or the long espresso button.
Coffee dispensing stops automatically when the set level is reached; however,
it is possible to stop it earlier by pressing the OK button. Note:
to prepare two cups of espresso or espresso lungo, press the button of the
preferred beverage twice. The machine performs two consecutive grinding cycles
automatically.
Brewing coffee with pre-ground coffee
To prepare coffee using pre-ground coffee, use the measuring scoop provided to
insert the correct shot in the pre-ground coffee compartment.
-
Lift the pre-ground coffee compartment lid.
-
Add a measuring scoop of pre-ground coffee in its compartment and close the lid.
Warning: -
do not insert substances other than pre-ground coffee in the pre-ground coffee compartment, as they may damage the machine.
-
Place a cup under the dispensing coffee spout.
-
Press the AROMA STRENGTH button and select the pre-ground coffee function.
-
Press the button of the preferred beverage and the machine will start dispensing automatically.
Note:
with pre-ground coffee, it is possible to prepare just one cup of coffee at a
time.
Frothing Milk
Note:
Use cold (~5°C / 41°F) milk with a protein content of at least 3% to ensure
optimum results when preparing a cappuccino. Whole milk, skimmed milk, soy
milk or lactose-free milk may be used depending on individual taste.
- we recommend rinsing the water circuit before use. Press the STEAM button to dispense steam for a few seconds.
Model with the classic pannarello
-
Fill 1/3 of a carafe with cold milk.
-
Insert the classic pannarello into the milk. Press the STEAM button.
-
Froth the milk by gently swirling the carafe and moving it up and down.
-
Press the OK button to stop steam dispensing.
Model with the steam wand
-
Fill 1/3 of a jug with milk.
-
Place the steam nozzle just below the surface of the milk;
if it has been inserted too deep, the milk will not be frothed;
if it has not been inserted deep enough, big bubbles will be produced. -
It is important to keep the nozzle not at the centre but close to the edge of the jug, with an appropriate angle to produce a stronger vortex.
-
Press the STEAM button.
-
To froth the milk correctly, the steam nozzle must always be in contact with the milk and not with the froth. Therefore, as the layer of froth increases, the jug must be slightly raised trying to keep the nozzle in contact with the milk, without touching the bottom of the jug. Once the desired frothing has been achieved, the steam nozzle must be pushed further to heat the milk well.
-
Press the OK button to stop steam dispensing.
Note:
It is advisable to always keep a hand on the rounded part of the jug to feel
the temperature increase of the milk.
- After frothing the milk, to make the froth more compact, it is advisable to lightly tap the jug on a flat surface and leave it to rest for at least 30 seconds. The milk will become more homogeneous.
- After frothing milk, clean the circuit by dispensing a small quantity of steam.
Dispensing Hot Water
Warning:
when the machine starts preparing hot water, the classic pannarello or
steam wand (depending on the model) may spray steam and hot water.
- Place a container under the classic pannarello or steam wand (depending on the model).
- Press the HOT WATER button.
- The machine will start dispensing hot water.
- To stop hot water dispensing, press the OK button.
Customization
Adjusting the amount of coffee in the cup
It is possible to adjust the amount of the beverage according to your taste
and to the size of the cups.
-
To adjust the amount of espresso, hold the ESPRESSO button until the display shows the MEMO icon.
The machine enters the programming stage and starts preparing the selected beverage. -
When the cup contains the desired amount of espresso, press the OK button.
The tick on the display indicates that at every pressing the machine will prepare the set amount of espresso.
Note:
To set the amount of LONG ESPRESSO, follow the same operation.
Adjusting the Aroma Strength
To modify the aroma strength, press the AROMA STRENGTH button. Every time you press the AROMA STRENGTH button, the aroma strength changes by one degree. The display shows the selected strength which will be saved by preparing a cup of coffee.

- Very strong
Note:
you can also use the AROMA STRENGTH button to prepare coffee with pre-ground
coffee.
Adjusting Grinding Settings
You can adjust the grinding settings using the grinder adjustment knob in the
coffee bean container. For every selected setting, the ceramic coffee grinder
guarantees a perfect and even grinding for the preparation of every cup of
coffee. The aroma is preserved and every cup ensures a perfect flavour.
Note:
you can adjust the grinding settings only when the machine grinds the
coffee beans. The difference in flavour will be perceived after 2-3 cups of
coffee have been brewed.
Warning:
to avoid damaging the coffee grinder, do not rotate the grinder adjustment
knob more than one notch at a time.
-
