programmable Function
This espresso machine offers a convenient
choice between the Manual Operation or the
intelligent Programmable Function that can be
personalised with the user's favorite espresso
setting.
Espresso pressure gauge
The espresso pressure gauge assists in
obtaining the most favorable extraction
pressure, guiding the user to create their ideal
espresso. This is achieved by measuring the
pressure at which the water is being forced
through the ground coffee in the filter holder.
Ideal Espresso - Optimum Zone
The gauge needle when positioned within the
recommended Optimum Zone during pouring
indicates the espresso will be produced at the
ideal pressure. The brewed espresso should
have a generous layer of fine textured and
evenly colored golden créma.
under Extracted Espresso
The gauge needle when positioned below the
Optimum Zone during pouring indicates that
the espresso will be produced with insufficient
pressure resulting in an 'under extracted'
espresso. This occurs when the water flow
through the ground coffee in the filter is too
fast. As a result the optimal flavor will not be
extracted and the coffee will be watery and lack
thick créma on the top.
Possible causes for under extraction are: coffee
grind is too coarse and/or insufficient coffee in
filter and/or under tamping.
Over Extracted Espresso
The gauge needle when positioned above the
OPTIMUM Zone during pouring will indicate
that the espresso will be produced with too
much pressure resulting in an 'over extracted'
espresso. This occurs when the water flow
through the ground coffee in the filter is too
slow. As a result the coffee will be very dark and
bitter, with a mottled and uneven créma on top.
Possible causes for over extraction are: ground
coffee is too fine and/or too much ground coffee
in filter and/or over tamping.
Hot Water Wand
The dedicated hot water wand is ideal for
making your favourite hot drinks. For convenient
use the wand has a commercial style 360°
ball joint.
