NOTE 1
The water flow in the mixers is approximately 10 c.c. per second and it is given as an indication, as there are
many variables that can affect the accuracy.
The liquid dose is determined by counting the flow-meter pulses (cdv).
Both versions (Instant and Espresso) use an electromechanical vibration pump (with the espresso boiler) for the
water flow; therefore the liquid dose in both versions is measured in cdv (flow-meter pulses).
NOTE 2
To be noted that the number of pulses does not change in a linear manner (i.e. double the amount of water
does not correspond to double the number of pulses), however the counter varies the accuracy according to the
water flow velocity, and namely:
For espresso coffee it is slowed considerably because of the coffee compress reaction that slows down the
water flow, while it is accelerated in the instant drinks selections, since there are no obstructions to the water
flow. Therefore, in the event of changing the default doses set at the factory, some measurements must be
made using graduated measuring containers to check the accuracy of the doses.
