4 Basic operation

This chapter describes basic operating steps for using the appliance on a daily basis.

4.1 Switching the appliance on and off

Before switching on after starting up the appliance for the first time, read chapter 3.5 Switching on and venting the appliance for the first time on page 64.

Information

  • When switched on and off, the appliance performs automatic rinsing.
    – During rinsing, rinsing water is also conducted into the drip tray.

Switching on the appliance

  1. Place a vessel beneath the outlet.
  2. Press the ON/OFF button (7).

MELITTA Caffeo Passione Varianza CS - Using the control panel - 2

Long press

Press a button for longer than 2 seconds to select a second programme that may be available.

4.3 Filling coffee beans into the bean container

Roasted coffee beans lose their aroma. Only fill the bean container with as many coffee beans as you will consume over the next 3 to 4 days.

ATTENTION

The use of unsuitable types of coffee can lead to clogging of the grinder.

  • Do not use freeze-dried or caramelised coffee beans.
  • Do not use any coffee powder or instant products.

Information

Depending on the model, when changing the type of beans, remains of the old type of beans can still be in the grinder.

Caffeo® Passione®:

Even if the supply tank runs empty and is then filled with a new type of bean, there are always remaining quantities of the old type of bean in the grinder. For this reason, the first two coffees dispensed can contain remains of the old type of bean.

Caffeo® Varianza® CS:

In order that the coffee beans are not mixed when changing the type of bean (or when using the My Bean Select® function), the grinder is emptied after each grinding process. Nevertheless, minimal coffee type mixing may occur. Grinding when empty causes a different type of noise and is normal.

4.4 Filling with water

Only use fresh, cold water without carbon dioxide for optimum coffee enjoyment. Change the water daily.

Information

The quality of the water largely determines the flavour of the coffee. Therefore, use a water filter (see chapter 7.4 Setting the water hardness on page 81 and chapter 8.6 Using a water filter on page 94).

text_image Technical diagram of a coffee machine with labeled parts including tray, base, and control panel

Fig. 11: Emptying the drip tray and coffee grounds container (Caffeo® Varianza® CS)

Information

If you empty the drip tray and the coffee grounds container while the appliance is switched off, the appliance does not register this process. Therefore, it is possible that you are requested to empty the containers although the drip tray and the coffee grounds container are not yet full.

5 Using the My Bean Select® function

The function for preparing single portions is only present in the Caffeo® Varianza® CS.

With the My Bean Select ^® function, a single coffee beverage can be prepared from a different type of coffee. Separately fill a single portion of coffee beans to prepare the coffee.

While the bean container is full with lightly roasted coffee beans, for example, the My Bean Select® function can be used to prepare a coffee beverage from a single portion of darkly roasted coffee beans.

5.1 Filling coffee beans for the My Bean Select® function

ATTENTION

The use of unsuitable types of coffee can lead to clogging of the grinder.

  • Do not use freeze-dried or caramelised coffee beans.
  • Do not use any coffee powder or instant products.

Information

Depending on the model, when changing the type of beans, remains of the old type of beans can still be in the grinder.

Caffeo® Varianza® CS:

So that the coffee beans are not mixed when changing the type of bean (or when using the My Bean Select® function), the grinder is emptied after each grinding process. Nevertheless, minimal coffee type mixing may occur. Grinding when empty causes a different type of noise and is normal.

Information

The measuring spoon is intended to help in filling the correct amount of coffee beans into the bean chute.

- A full measuring spoon contains approx. 10 to 11g of coffee beans. Depending on the desired coffee strength, fewer coffee beans can also be filled.

- If there are less than approx. 8 g coffee beans in the bean chute, the My Bean Select® function is not activated. As soon as you hang up the measuring spoon again, the display goes out. The next time a coffee is dispensed, the coffee beans from the bean chute are mixed with the coffee beans from the bean container.

6 Preparing beverages

There are two options for preparing beverages:

  • Preparing coffee beverages at the outlet for coffee beverages or
  • preparing hot water, warm milk and milk foam on the Cappuccinatore.

Note:

  • There should always be sufficient water in the water tank. If the filling level is too low, the appliance requests you to refill it.
  • There should always also be sufficient coffee beans in the bean container. If there are no longer any coffee beans present, the appliance stops the preparation of a coffee beverage.

- The appliance does not indicate a lack of milk.
