Amount of coffee
The coffee machine can grind and brew
7.5–12.5 g of coffee beans per cup. The
greater the quantity, the stronger the
coffee.
There are various ways to tell whether
the amount of coffee is set correctly:
The amount of coffee is too low if:
– espresso or coffee flows into the cup
too quickly,
– the crema is very pale and uneven,
– the espresso or coffee lacks body.
Increase the amount of coffee so that
more ground coffee is brewed.
The amount of coffee is too high if:
– espresso or coffee flows into the cup
very slowly,
– the crema is dark brown,
– the espresso or coffee tastes bitter.
Decrease the amount of coffee so that
less ground coffee is brewed.
Brewing temperature
The ideal brewing temperature will
depend on
– the type of coffee being used
– whether an espresso or a coffee is
being made, and
– the altitude of the region.
Useful tip: Not all types of coffee
tolerate high temperatures. Several
types are sensitive to high
Save
temperatures, resulting in an impaired
crema and taste.
You can also adjust the brewing
temperature for tea drinks, warm water
and hot water.
Pre-brewing ground coffee
When the pre-brewing function is
switched on, the freshly ground coffee
is first moistened with a little hot water.
Then the remaining water is forced
through the moistened coffee at high
pressure. This helps release the flavour
of the coffee.
You can set pre-brewing for a normal
length of time or an extra long length of
time. Alternatively, you can switch off
the "Pre-brewing" function.
The machine is supplied with the "Pre-
brewing" function switched off.
