Amount of coffee
The coffee machine can grind and brew
6–14g 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:
- the 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:
- the 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 brewing temperature must be
adapted to the roast of the beans you
are using. This is crucial whether you
are making espresso or coffee.
Several types are sensitive to high
brewing temperatures, resulting in an
impaired taste. If your coffee tastes
bitter, the brewing temperature you
have selected might be too high.
Espresso is usually brewed at higher
temperatures.
Pre-brewing ground coffee
When the pre-brewing function is
turned on, the freshly ground coffee is
first moistened with a little hot water.
Then the remaining water is forced
through the moistened coffee at high
pressure. This helps release the flavor
of the coffee.
You can set a short or long duration for
pre-brewing or turn the “Pre-brewing”
function off completely.
