Changing The Parameters Of A Drink; Amount Of Coffee; Brewing Temperature - Miele CVA 6800 Operating And Installation Instructions

Changing the parameters of a
drink
You can change the amount of coffee,
pre-brewing and the brewing
temperature for each drink.
You are located in the main menu.
^ Touch "Edit" or swipe across the
display until "Make drinks" appears
and touch to select.
^ Touch "Change drink".
^ Swipe across the display until the
drink you want appears, then touch it
to select it.
^ Touch "Drink parameters".
Now you can
– change the amount of coffee,
– set the brewing temperature, and
– switch on the "Pre-brewing" option.

Amount of coffee

The coffee machine can grind and
brew 6-14 g of coffee per cup. The
greater the quantity, the stronger the
coffee or espresso.
There are various ways to tell whether
the amount of coffee is set correctly.
The amount of coffee is too low if:
– Espresso or coffee flows into the cup
too quickly.
– The crema is very pale and uneven.
– The espresso or coffee lacks body.
Increase the amount of coffee so that
more ground coffee is brewed.
Coffee the way you like it
The amount of coffee is too high if:
– Espresso or coffee only trickles into
the cup.
– The crema is dark brown.
– The espresso or coffee tastes bitter.
Decrease the amount of coffee so that
less ground coffee is brewed.
^ Touch "Amount of coffee".
^ Touch the relevant section of the bar
chart to set the desired amount of
coffee and then touch OK.

Brewing temperature

The ideal brewing temperature will
depend on
– the type of coffee being used,
– whether an espresso or a coffee is
being prepared, and
– the altitude of the region.
If the coffee machine is located at more
than 2000 metres above sea level, the
brewing temperature needs to be set
lower due to the change in pressure.
This is because the boiling point for
water at a high altitude above sea level
is lower than the boiling point for water
at sea level.
The coffee machine has five brewing
temperatures.
Tip: Not all types of coffee can
withstand a high temperature. Certain
types are too delicate - the crema on
top would not be as good and the taste
would be impaired.
