The following should be considered general lines of operating. It is thus essential to follow the manufacturer's instructions and regulations
as regards safety. Operating the machine is very simple and the checks that the operator must make to obtain good coffee are:
- use suitably softened fresh mains water
- boiler water temperature between 100°C and 130°C inclusive
- delivery time for the semi-automatic version: 20-30 seconds. If contact between the water and the ground coffee lasts more than 20/30
seconds, the coffee will taste unpleasant and bitter. This effect is called over-extraction.
- ground coffee dose between 6 and 7 g. inclusive
- constant cleaning of the coffee dosing grinder
- checking the wear of the dosing grinder's grindstones
- in the coffee drops too slowly then grinding is probably too fine. Vice-versa, if it drops too fast, the grinding is too coarse.
- always use heated cups: if this is cold, the abrupt temperature change of the espresso coffee will change its taste.
- never load the filter holder without making an immediate delivery; the ground coffee would "burn" in the group and the espresso obtained would
be very bitter.
