Water Hardness Setting Of Machine
Do you know that the quality of your coffee can be greatly impacted by the water you use in your coffee machine? Hard water, rich in minerals, can leave behind buildup in your machine, affecting its performance and lifespan. But fear not; by adjusting the water hardness setting, you can keep your coffee machine functioning at its best and brewing delicious coffee every time.
Let us Discover the magic of perfectly crafted coffee by understanding the importance of water hardness and learning how to adjust the setting on your machine.
Caution:
- This stage involves determining the water hardness (i.e. the limestone level) so that the machine may customize how frequently descaling occurs. The water hardness level may be determined using the water hardness stick, which can be found on the first page of the user handbook. By default, the water hardness is set at 4.
- Wet the hardness stick in the water you intend to use. Using the water hardness table, determine the level of hardness in the water. See the table below:
| Button Image | Related Buttons For Setting | Strip Level | Level | dH | fH | mg/L CaCO3 |
 | Lungo |  | 0 | <3 | <5 | <50 |
 | Hot foam |  | 1 | >4 | >7 | >70 |

Assembling and disassembling the milk frother of your coffee machine is a simple process that can greatly impact the performance and longevity of your machine. Regular cleaning and maintenance of the milk frother can prevent mineral buildup and ensure that your frother is functioning at its best.
Whether you’re new to your coffee machine or have been using it for a while, it’s important to know how to properly assemble and disassemble the milk frother for optimal results.

Milk Recipe Preparations When Using A Nespresso View Mug (270ml)
You want that perfect balanced taste in your coffee. Right? To create a perfect cup of coffee or milk-based beverages, it is crucial to understand the proper ratio of milk, coffee, and foam. This guide will provide you with the ideal proportions for each of these components, enabling you to make these drinks with professional-level precision.
INFORMATION: To achieve the best foam results, it is recommended to use refrigerated UHT or pasteurized milk that is either skimmed or semi-skimmed, kept at a temperature of approximately 4°C. Alternatively, you can use non-dairy milk alternatives like soy, almond, or oat drink.
The amount of foam produced will vary depending on the type of milk used, its temperature, the cup size, and the position of the milk frother in the mug. It is important to clean the milk frother after each use to ensure optimal performance.
CAUTION: When preparing recipes with ingredients like ice cubes or chocolate pieces, make sure that they do not obstruct the movement of the milk frother. It is also crucial to ensure that the milk frother is not in contact with the sides or bottom of the mug to prevent any overflow. To ensure the best results, be sure to follow the instructions provided.
For the best results when making your milk-based beverages, I recommend you to use the Nespresso View Mug with a capacity of 270 ml, which is included in the box and can also be purchased at the Nespresso outlet.
1. Lift up the head of your machine using the handle and place the milk frother.
2. In your view cup, combine the ingredients and milk according to the directions (see the recipes page).

INFORMATION: The Espresso button will illuminate at the conclusion of preparation, indicating that your coffee is ready to be topped up.
6. Upon completion of the preparation process, the “Clean” indicator light will illuminate in orange. To clean the milk frother, lift the head and grasp the designated grip area to remove the frother. The “Clean” indicator light will then turn off. The milk frother can be cleaned either by dishwashing or hand washing.
CAUTION: After cleaning, place the frother back into its housing. It is crucial to wait until the end of the preparation and the “Clean” indicator light to illuminate before handling the milk frother, as the frother may become hot during the preparation process. Always handle the frother by its designated grip area to prevent burns.
7. Take your cup. Lift and close the lever to eject the capsule when preparing a recipe with coffee.
