Amount of coffee
The coffee system can grind and brew
6-14 g of coffee beans per cup. The
greater the quantity, the stronger the
coffee.
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.
The amount of coffee is too high, if
– espresso or coffee flows into the cup
very slowly.
– the crema is dark brown.
– the espresso or coffee tastes bitter.
Decrease the amount of coffee so that
less ground coffee is brewed.
Tip: If the coffee is too strong for you or
it tastes bitter, try a different type of
bean.
Brewing temperature
The ideal brewing temperature will de-
pend on:
– the type of coffee,
– whether an espresso or a coffee is
being prepared, and
– the altitude of the region.
If the coffee system is located at more
than 6562 ft. (2000 meters) above sea
level, the brewing temperature needs to
be set lower due to the change in pres-
sure. 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.
Tip: Not all types of coffee can with-
stand high temperatures. Certain types
are too delicate - the crema on top
would not be as good and the taste
would be impaired.
