A quick guide to the three Bosch appliances in the kitchen, with the full official guides one tap away.
Bosch
Coffee machine
CTL636E · fully automatic espresso
Fresh espresso, black coffee and milk drinks from the touch screen. The diagram below is the full first-time setup.
First-time setup, steps 1 to 6: fill the water tank with fresh cold water and add beans.
Quick setup
Water & beans: Slide the machine out, fill the water tank with fresh cold water to the max line, and add beans to the bean drawer.
Milk drinks: Fill the milk container, assemble the milk hose and clip it to the machine.
Power on: Press the power button. It runs a short rinse through the spout straight away, so place a cup under the outlet first to catch it. It rinses the same way when you switch off.
Making drinks
Black coffee: Place your cup under the outlet, tap the screen to choose Espresso or Caffe Crema, then press start.
Milk drinks: Choose Cappuccino or Latte Macchiato. With the milk container connected it froths the milk and pours automatically.
Set the amount & strength: Before you press start, adjust the cup size (quantity), the strength, and for milk drinks the milk ratio and temperature, using the segments on the screen.
Two cups & hot water: Place two cups under the outlet to pour two at once, or dispense hot water for tea or to pre-warm your cup.
Favourites: Save a drink you like, with your settings, as a colour-coded Favourite on the display.
Everyday care
Daily: Refill the water tank with fresh cold water and empty the drip tray and grounds container when prompted.
Milk rinse: After every milk drink the machine asks for a quick rinse, leave a cup or the container under the outlet.
Cleaning: Run the cleaning and descaling programmes whenever the display asks for them.
Freshly made drinks and the milk system are very hot.
