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
temperatures, resulting in an impaired
crema and taste.
The coffee machine has five brewing
temperatures.
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.
