How can you make my Lattissima touch hotter?

If you prefer your coffee hot, there’s an easy way to increase the temperature of your coffee without having to wait. One way to do this with an Original line machine is by leaving the last spent capsule in the machine and running one or two brew cycles with your cup under the dispenser. This will preheat your cup as well as the machine, resulting in a hotter cup of coffee. By taking this simple step, you can enjoy a hot and satisfying cup of coffee every time.
