Ground quantity
The coffee machine can grind and brew
6–14g of coffee beans per cup. The
greater the quantity, the stronger the
coffee.
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
too 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 flows into the cup
very slowly,
– the crema is dark brown,
– the espresso or coffee tastes bitter.
Decrease the amount of coffee so that
less ground coffee is brewed.
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 air pressure in the region.
Tip: Not all types of coffee tolerate high
temperatures. Several types are
sensitive to high temperatures, resulting
in an impaired crema and taste.
Pre-brewing the 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 short or
long length of time, or deselect “ Pre-
brewing ” altogether.
The machine is supplied with the “Pre-
brewing” function switched off.
