2. THE C3000

The C3000 can prepare 1 or 2 cups of excellent, professional
quality espresso or coffee at a time. The unique pre-wetting
function ensures optimal coffee extraction. The C3000 functions
fully automatically at the touch of a button. You can program the
coffee amount, water, and temperature settings for all coffee
buttons. The integrated burr grinder grinds beans to the correct
fineness. A separate filler funnel lets you use ground coffee. You
can program your machine to shut-off automatically from
to 9 hours after last use, and you can also program the C3000 to
automatically turn on at a certain time every day. Additionally,
you can check how many cups of coffee you made for each of
the coffee buttons. The water level and the used coffee contain-
er are monitored automatically. Three computer controlled rins-
ing, cleaning and decalcifying programs facilitate care and main-
tenance of the machine. If you use the CLARIS water filter car-
tridge, you can turn off the decalcifying program (see chapter 10
"Adjusting for Water Hardness").

4. A WORD ABOUT "CREMA COFFEE" (PRESSURE
BREWED COFFEE)
Grinding, tamping and brewing under high pressure in one
sequence is considered the ideal process to extract maximum
flavor and aroma by the majority of coffee experts. Your C3000
will always produce espresso and coffee with a thick, foamy
layer called "crema." The crema traps the fine aromatics and the
light gaseous flavors that register on the palate. It keeps the
flavors that would otherwise escape locked in. The high pressure
and the short brewing time prevent the extraction of bitter oils
and release less caffeine than other brewing methods. You will
always make the absolute freshest and most aromatic cup of
coffee. This is also the reason why many fine European
restaurants and hotels will serve you freshly pressure brewed
coffee only. Use the C3000 to make a cup of coffee! Experiment
with the size of cup and the amount of coffee!
