Altering the drinks parameters
You can set the amount of coffee,
pre-brewing and the brewing
temperature for each drink individually.
Start in the drinks menu.
^
Touch "Process" or swipe the screen
until "Make drinks" appears and
touch this.
^
Touch "Change drink".
^
Swipe the screen until the drink you
want appears and then touch this.
^
Touch "Drink parameters".
You can now:
– change the amount of coffee,
– set the brewing temperature, or
– switch on the "Pre-brewing" option.
Amount of coffee
The coffee machine can grind and
brew 6-14 g of coffee per cup. The
greater the quantity, the stronger the
coffee or espresso.
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
very 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 only trickles into
the cup.
–
the crema is dark brown.
–
the espresso or coffee tastes bitter.
Decrease the amount of coffee so that
less ground coffee is brewed.
^
Touch "Amount of coffee".
^
Touch the bar for the amount of
coffee you want and then "OK".
Brewing temperature
The ideal brewing temperature will
depend on
– the type of coffee,
– whether an espresso or a coffee is
being made, and
– the altitude of the region.
If the coffee machine is located at more
than 2000 metres above sea level, the
brewing temperature needs to be set
lower due to the change in pressure.
This is because the boiling point for
water at a high altitude is lower than the
boiling point for water at sea level.
There are five brewing temperatures.
Tip: Not all types of coffee can
withstand a high temperature. Certain
types are too delicate - the crema on
top would not be as good and the taste
would be impaired.
