How to get the perfect coee?
- The grind of the coee bean and the quality of the grind largely determine the quality of
the coee, if the grind is too coarse, the coee extract is inadequate, the avour is light,
the colour is lighter, and the cream will also be too ne. If the grind is too ne, the coee
is over-extracted, it will be too dark, and there will be no cream, in many cases it can
block the coee output if it is too nely ground or too heavily pressed.
- The use of freshly ground coee is recommended to improve the coee result.
1. Select a ground coee bean of medium size, neither too ne nor too coarse.
2. It is recommended to weigh each time you make coee to be sure of the amount of
ground coee added (single cup: 9-9.5g; double cup: 16-16.5g), and to compact the ground
coee with the presser spoon.
3. 3. The surface of the pressed ground coee should be about 3 mm from the edge of the
lter cup (important indicator). If the ground coee is too high or too low, that will aect
the extraction pressure and coee quality. Please reduce or increase the amount of
ground coee.
4. Amount of liquid coee, single cup of coee: 25-35 mL; double cup of coee: 40-60 mL.
It is very important to understand that, in order to make a perfect coee, with texture,
body, aroma, cream, etc., many variables come into play that can aect the nal result. It is
recommended to try dierent coee grinds with dierent pressing pressures to get the best
result.
Hot water
1. Place a container under the hot waterspout.
2. When the indicator lights on the single-cup and double-cup switches stay on, open the
steam selector, and turn it to the maximum position, hot water will immediately come out
of the steamer. The indicator for one and two cups of coee ashes during the hot-water
preparation process.
3. When the hot water reaches the desired amount, turn the steam selector clockwise to the
o position, and the hot water will stop coming out.
Reminder: The hot water function can also be used to quickly cool the coee machine.
Note: When using such function, be careful with hot parts of the machine. Especially the
water outlet (lter holder), the hot water nozzle and the steam pipe. During operation, do not
put your hands on the above-mentioned parts for any reason.
