3.2 The perfect dose
• The coffee filters have a mark inside to identify the level for
perfect dose.
• Ensure the coffee is at the recommended dose level after
tamping. You may need to adjust the dosing dial more
times before reaching the perfect dose.
Step 3-brewing
3.3 Focus on temperature
The water temperature is precisely controlled throughout the entire brewing process to ensure the ideal temperature stability for
the extraction. La Specialista Arte offers up to 3 infusion temperature* profiles to select, corresponding to a range of temperatures
between 92°C and 96°C.
Coffee bean varieties as well as roasting colors require their own specific temperature setting for the best extraction. For example a
lower temperature is preferred for Robusta coffee beans than Arabica; the same is applicable to beans with a darker roasting colour or
to freshly-roasted beans than thos degassed over time.

• If your coffee is over or under extracted and the dose is
within the perfect dose range, adjust the grinder settings
finer or coarser (see Step 1 - grinding).
Over extracted coffee (pouring too slowly) needs coarser
grind
Under extracted coffee (pouring too fast) needs finer grind.
• Please note: If any residual ground coffee remains after
tamping, it will not impact the quality of the extraction.
