Beem ESPRESSO PERFECT - Preparing Espresso or Coffee

EN 34
• If possible, always use freshly ground espresso / coffee powder to achieve an optimum fl avour.
• The grinding fi neness of the espresso / coffee powder also has an infl uence on the aroma and
the crema. Here too you can experiment with different grinding fi nenesses.
• Do not press down the espresso / coffee powder in the sieve insert too fi rmly. If the espresso
/ coffee powder is pressed too much, this may increase the processing time, thus producing
increased levels of bitter compounds.
• Empty and clean the sieve insert after each use.
• Clean and descale the device regularly (see the “Cleaning and Care” chapter – “Descaling”). A
dirty and / or furred-up device compromises the fl avour.
Preparation
NOTICES
• Do not operate the device without water or with less water than is required to reach the

• Never use the device without a suitable cup below the portafi lter.
Preparing Espresso or Coffee
1. Fill the water tank (3) with water (see the “Handling and Operation” chapter – “Filling the
Water Tank”).
2. Switch on the device by pressing the On / Off switch (14). The operating lamp (15) lights up
and the device starts the heating process.
3. Place the sieve insert you want (11) in the corresponding portafi lter and fi ll the sieve insert
(10) (see the “Handling and Operation” chapter – “Inserting / Removing the Sieve Insert” and
following sections).
4. Insert the portafi lter into the device (see the “Handling and Operation” chapter – “Inserting
the Portafi lter into the Device”).
5. Place one or two suitable cup(s) on the storage plate (9) under the portafi lter.
With two cups make sure that they are each positioned next to each other below an outlet
under the portafi lter.
6. Start the brewing process as soon as the temperature lamp (2) is lit up by turning the selec-
tor switch (13) to the
position. The device starts the brewing process, and water runs
through the portafi lter into the cup.
7. Once the required amount of espresso / coffee has run into the cup, turn the selector switch
to the
position. The device switches to stand-by mode and no more water runs through
the portafi lter.
