Adjusting the height of the central spout

22
The cups should always be pre-warmed to allow the flavour
to develop and be retained. The aroma of espresso does not
react well to cold.
The smaller the volume of coffee/espresso, the more
important it is to pre-warm the cup. Use a plate warming
drawer if you have one. If not, you can warm them as follows:
^ Place the cup to be warmed under the hot water spout.
^ Touch the Hot water sensor.
^ Run a little hot water into the cup to warm it.
^ Touch the OK sensor to stop the flow of water.
^ Leave the cup for about a minute until it is warm, then pour
the water away.
You can adjust the height of the central spout to suit the
height of the cup so that the drink will not cool down as
quickly as it would if the spouts were further away from the
cup. The crema will also be a better quality if the coffee does
not have so far to go!
^ Slowly pull the central spout downwards.
