Amount of coffee
The coffee machine can grind and brew
7.5–12.5g 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 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.
