INFUSION TEMPERATURE PROFILES

• The water temperature is precisely controlled throughout the entire brewing process to ensure
the ideal temperature stability for the extraction. La Specialista Prestigio offers up to 3 infusion
temperature* profiles to select, correspondent to a range of temperatures between 92° and 96°C.
• Coffee bean varieties as well as roasting colours require their own specific temperature setting
for the best extraction: Robusta coffee beans prefer lower temperature; Arabica prefers higher
temperature. The same is applicable to beans with a darker roasting colour or to freshly-roasted
beans than those degassed over time.
