What is new in this version
BEST and Volumetric Brew control
A new term is introduced in this version, “BEST”. This is one of the three options in the
Automatic Mode Pre-infusion menu. The other two are OFF, and TIME. BEST is our unique
method of determining when a puck has been saturated with just the right amount of water
during Pre-infusion then starting full pressure brew automatically. Using BEST removes one of
the most time consuming and demanding tasks the barista has. The machine does the work
and monitors the shot for you. Instead of having to watch the portafilter for saturation and
starting Brew manually the barista can focus on other tasks. Along with Brew volumetric
control this allows you to make an almost perfect shot every time*.
Volumetric Brew control is another feature added to this version. In Automatic mode
Brew is controlled by the number of Pulses set in the menu. This precisely measures the
volume of water used during Brew.
The number of Pulses can be determined when dialing in a new batch of coffee. Use
Manual Mode to pull shots until the desired shot is pulled. After dialing in the shot the barista
can set the volumetric measurement (Pulses) in the menu. The last dialed in shot is
remembered and can be entered directly.
Using the combination of BEST for Pre-infusion and Volumetric (Pulses) for Brew ensures
a consistent and repeatable shot every single time.
* We acknowledge that to make a perfect shot requires the full attention of a dedicated and
skilled barista! We aim to get close to that when full attention can not be given.
