Notes on water:

  • We recommend changing the water daily
  • Never use distilled water
  • Use ONLY cold tap water
  • Tip: Use water that has been softened with a commercially available water filter.
    Important: change the filter cartridges regularly (see filter instructions) to prevent machine damage not granted by the guarantee

4. Flushing out the machine and internal piping

Before using for the first time or after long pauses (e.g. holidays) and when changing between tea and coffee capsules, the machine must be flushed out. This short procedure thoroughly flushes out and cleans the internal piping.

- Turn on the machine with the main power switch - Place an empty cup under the coffee dispenser. For large cups remove the upper drip tray and place the perforated grate on the lower tray.

Important: make sure that there is no capsule in the opening and close the operating handle

  • Press the cleaning key (both keys light up). Press the cleaning key again to start flushing (the other key light goes out, and the pump starts pumping water through the system)
  • The pump stops automatically after about 15 seconds (flushing can be repeated or stopped at any time by pressing the cleaning key again)
  • Caution: Beware of scalding water! Danger of scalding!
  • If you pressed the cleaning key ⚠️ several times, empty the residual water container (see page 14)

5. Making coffee or tea

To make coffee or tea with this machine you need cremesso capsules. Various kinds of coffee (including decaffeinated) and tea are available. Use one capsule per cup.

Before you make coffee or tea for the very first time or after long pauses (e.g. after the holidays), clean and flush out the internal piping (see previous section).

- Be sure there is enough water in the tank before making coffee - Place an empty cup under the dispenser. For large cups remove the upper drip tray and place the perforated grate on the lower tray

  1. Move the operating handle back completely
  2. Let the cremesso capsule fall straight into the container so that it positions correctly.

Important : to avoid damaging your machine, never use other makes of capsule

  1. Move the operating handle completely forward to load the capsule into the brewing position (the capsule foil is «perforated» check)

Cremesso Compact manual - Making coffee or tea - 2

The machine has one key for making coffee, tea or hot water:

  • When the cleaning key 🙏 flickers white, the machine is in standby (energy-saving) mode. Press any key to activate the machine (both keys illuminate in white)
  • Start coffee or tea dispensing by pressing the key 📄. If the machine was in standby mode, the key will first flicker white to indicate heating up. After heating up the key stays illuminated in white and hot water is pumped through the capsule to dispense coffee or tea into your cup
  • Dispensing can be stopped at any time by pressing the key (both keys illuminate in white again)
  • Caution: Beware of scalding water! Danger of scalding!

Cremesso Compact manual - Making coffee or tea - 3

Coffee-making tip:

  • Ristretto: 30 ml (= «small» cup)
  • Espresso: 50 ml (= «medium» cup)
  • Lungo or tea: 110 ml (= «large» cup)

Tip:

- Use thick, pre-heated cups for ristretto and espressos in order to prevent cooling down too quickly. Preheat the cup by pressing the coffee key without capsule

Cremesso Compact manual - Tip: - 1

Important:

  • Prior to changing between coffee and tea flush out the piping (to prevent the taste from being affected, see page 11)
  • After opening the operating handle, water may drain into the tank. This is normal and not a fault
  • After dispensing about seven cups, the machine pauses to cool down (meanwhile the key flashes and no dispensing is possible)

6. After making coffee or tea

After making coffee or tea the empty capsule is ejected as follows:

  1. Move the operating handle completely back to eject the empty capsule into the container.
  2. If you want another cup of coffee/tea, just insert a new capsule and press the dispensing key (see page 11).

Important:

  • The capsule may stick in the opening if it has been there a long time. If so open and close the operating handle. If the capsule is still blocked, push down lightly with a finger. (Caution, hot sharp opening point inside!). After opening the operating handle, water may drain into the tank. This is normal and not a fault
  • The container holds up to 10 used capsules. Regularly empty the used capsule and drainage water containers (drainage water may otherwise overflow)

7. Energy saving mode

If the machine is not being used, after one minute the energy saving mode is activated. In this mode the power absorbed by the machine is very much less at 0.3 watts.

  • The energy saving mode is indicated by the cleaning key slowly lighting up white and fading
  • To use the machine press the dispensing key. The machine is ready to dispense coffee/tea as soon as the key is steadily lit up (see page 11)
  • If the machine is not going to be used for an extended period of time (e.g. during holidays), switch it off and remove the power plug, empty the water tank, and steam out the machine (see page 17)

natural_image Illustration of a hand inserting a device into a container with a scroll, no text or symbols present

8. Emptying the capsule container and drip tray

The capsule container holds around 10 empty capsules and the residual water container around 500 mL of residual water. For hygiene reasons we recommend emptying the capsule container and the drip tray every day.

  1. Hold the drip tray firmly and pull it out by lifting gently.

  2. Remove the perforated drip tray grate and upper drip tray.

  3. Pull the capsule container out of the residual water container. Dispose of used capsules with household refuse.

Drinking water varies according to region. The lime particles in hard drinking water are deposited as residues in the machine and can block the piping and cause damage. To prevent this, be sure to decalcify the machine no later than after making 300 cups of coffee or tea, if the output falls significantly, and in any case after one or two months. More frequent decalcification is necessary in areas with very hard water. After making 300 cups of coffee or tea the cleaning key will flash red during dispensing until decalcification has taken place.

Decalcification must be done correctly to prevent damage. So it is essential to follow these instructions.

Important:

  • Never clean the machine with vinegar. This causes damage and makes your coffee/tea taste bad!
  • Damage caused by incorrect decalcification or failure to decalcify is not granted by the guarantee
  • Caution: beware of hot water!
    – Follow the safety instructions in the decalcifier packaging

  • Recommendations: Use cremesso special decalcifier, mixed with water according to the instructions; pour the mixture in the water tank up to the «0.5 litre» mark

  • Make sure the capsule container is empty
  • Place a large bowl under the dispensing head to collect the decalcification liquid and lime residues
  • Turn on the power switch (the machine is in standby (energy saving) mode and the cleaning key 🙏 flickers slowly. Activate the machine by pressing a key (both keys light up white)
  • Hold down the cleaning key 🙏 for 3 seconds to start decalcifying (the cleaning key now flashes blue). The programme pumps decalcifying liquid through the water circuit into the container. Then the pump stops to let it take effect for about 3 minutes. This procedure is repeated until the water tank is empty (the cleaning key lights up blue).

Note: Decalcification should take place when the machine is cold, but if coffee or tea has just been made the fluid ejected will be very hot to start with!

  1. Empty the bowl of decalcifying liquid
  2. Rinse out the water tank well, fill with fresh cold water and replace the tank
  3. Place a large bowl under the dispensing head
  4. Press the blue cleaning key 🔒 (key starts flashing blue). The circuit is then flushed with cold water to collect the decalcification liquid and lime residues. As soon as the water tank is empty, decalcification is complete and the cleaning key 🔒 stays illuminated in blue
  5. Refill the water tank, replace it, and press the cleaning key After decalcifying, dispense the first cup without a capsule

Important:

  • Use special decalcifying agents with colour indicator according to manufacturer's instructions
  • The decalcifying programme must not be interrupted

  • Empty the water tank and replace it
  • Put an empty cup under the coffee/tea/hot-water dispensing head
  • Hold down the Coffee/Tea key 📋. Turn on the main switch
