If you wish to reset the volume programming for each drink type on this machine , the default values as outlined in the instruction manual are:
Espresso ≃40ml
2 x Espresso ≃80ml
Long ≃120ml
2 x Long ≃240ml

Take note: Results will vary with each different batch of coffee beans, and therefore you may need to adjust the grind coarseness and or Min/Max dial to suit with each different batch - For a quality strong velvety espresso, as opposed to a translucent, low viscosity watery looking extraction, aim to program the machine to deliver a 30ml espresso that first maybe begins to flow out in a drop or two, but then soon proceeds to slowly, consistently flow out in a rich viscosity, full of colour and crema. You do want the extraction relatively slow, rather than the water just channeling and gushing through the coffee puck. However if after making the setting changes shown in this video, you find that each espresso, after the first few initial drops of extraction; continues to be delivered in drops, rather than the target of a consistent flow, then just firstly experiment with adjusting the grind coarseness back a notch or two, less fine. You can alternatively, and or then additionally, turn the Min/Max dial on the face of the machine back a notch or two, anti-clockwise away from the maximum setting. Both of these adjustments will result in a less resistive path for the water to flow. Also note the Min/Max dial on the face of the machine determines how much coffee is potentially ground up into each puck by altering the duration in which the coffee mill spins for. On the Min setting the coffee mill spins and grinds up beans for about 4 seconds, and on the Max setting, about 8 seconds. The amount of coffee beans that feed down into the mill during these time frames will vary each time, and ultimately determine how much ground coffee ends up being involved in each extraction. An overcrowded puck, alike an overly fine grind; can result in the delivery of the coffee too slow, in drops. You may need to adjust each of the settings differently to best suit each different type of coffee beans that you're using.
