Amount of coffee
The coffee machine can grind and brew
6–14 g 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.
Tip: If the coffee is too strong for you or
it tastes bitter, try a different type of
bean.

Brewing temperature

The ideal brewing temperature will
depend on
– the type of coffee being used,
– whether an espresso or a coffee is
being prepared, and
– the altitude of 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 ground coffee

When the pre-brewing function is
turned 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 flavor
of the coffee.
You can set pre-brewing for a normal
length of time or an extra long length of
time. Alternatively, you can turn off the
"Pre-brewing" function.
The machine is supplied with the "Pre-
brewing" function turned off.
